Martin Luther Kink Jr\'s question is as relevant to ask today as it was when he first asked it. Recent phsychological research reveals that people whom live selflessly as opposed to selfishly live longer. Life is a game, and the GOLDEN rule of it is to play it for as long as you mortally able to. I enjoy helping others, it provides me with an inner happiness that I am unable to find when I attempt to live my life selfishly without them. Others validate who I am because on my own I find it impossible to see myself in same way as.
\"Isn\'t summer grand?\" Yes it is, but even GRANDER still is living life in the moment regardless of the season you find yourself in so doing.
