"This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no 'brief candle' to me. It is sort of a splendid torch which I have a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it over to future generations."  George Bernard Shaw

This is the hope that I have.  It is spoken by an athiest who would debate the great G K Chesterton.  He also articulated well in many fine plays.  But the point is that we are less than we should be because we don't believe that we are meant to be more.  Shaw, an athiest, got it much better than most.  If only we could all be like him.  I don't have a lot to say other than this right now.  I wanted to post a blog so that I can keep my string going.  I will write more in the coming week when I am on vacation.  It will give me time to think.  Blessings!
