I just watched a clip of Oprah with Roger Ebert... He has been through so much since his battle with thyroid cancer. His wife, Chaz, read an excerpt from his journal which I found to be profoundly powerful... it doesn't need further explanation... just... wow.
“I believe that if, at the end of it all according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances…we must try. I didn’t always know this and I am happy that I lived long enough to find it out.”
