Why does my life in particular matter? What meaning does it have to the world? It’s a question that many including myself have. Personally, though, I feel as if it matters because everyone’s life matters. Every interaction we have with others, every word we speak affects people and we all seek to leave the world better than we found it. No one seeks to make the world worse as we are all the heroes of our own stories and collectively we will all improve the world we live in by the time we leave. The true meaning in life is to make those around us smile and happy. That is why all lives matter.
