王珍

"Ask a flower in the field: ‘Do you feel useful? After all, you do nothing but produce the same flowers over and over?’
, i5 c: y0 w. v) a0 WAnd the flower will answer: ‘I am beautiful, and beauty is my reason for living.’

( b* F. a! H* |5 a5 c$ g9 fAsk the river: ‘Do you feel useful, given that all you do is to keep flowing in the same direction?’
  k  H- J, i7 J4 j6 v+ I5 A$ OAnd the river will answer: ‘I’m not trying to be useful, I’m trying to be a river.’

Nothing in this world is useless in the eyes of God. Not a leaf from a tree falls, not a hair from your head, not even an insect dies because it was of no use. Everything has a reason to exist.
