Living Above and Beyond

There is more to life than living it just for yourself. Living your own life is, naturally, the first order of business for any mortal creature. But the secondary responsibility of all mortal creatures is to live part of your life in service to others.

This can be as common and natural as parenting or as bold and risky as putting your life on the line for a cause that will eventually benefit mankind.

No one is expected to lay down his or her life for a frivolous reason but using your life experience to enrich the life of at least one other person is an eternal victory for the soul that dwells within you.
