Do you feel useful

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?’
6 P8 {1 B9 \0 fAnd the flower will answer: ‘I am beautiful, and beauty is my reason for living.’

And 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.

Soon that answer will poison you and you will die while still alive, even though you still walk, eat, sleep and try to have a little fun whenever possible.

Don’t try to be useful. Try to be yourself: that is enough, and that makes all the difference."---paulo coelho
