Gently, mist rests upon the green Early morning sun rays Sparkle through the curtain gaps Dazzled my eyes  A loud buzzing sound, echoing The slaughter of dreams Snapped...

&quot;So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they&#039;re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they&#039;re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.&quot; --Morrie<br /> <br /> &ldquo;If you hold back on the emotions&ndash;if you don&rsquo;t allow yourself to go all the way through them&mdash;you can never get to being detached, you&rsquo;re too busy being afraid. You&rsquo;re afraid of the pain, you&rsquo;re afraid of the grief. You&rsquo;re afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails.&rdquo; --Morrie<br /> <br /> &ldquo;Part of the problem, is that everyone is in such a hurry, People haven&rsquo;t found meaning in their lives, so they&rsquo;re running all the time looking for it. They think the next car, the next house, the next job. They find those things are empty, too, and they keep running.&rdquo; --Morrie
