There is so much truth to this story, Old Grizz. The worth of all beings is what they can impart in the way of wisdom and encouragement. We feel lost and worthless when we are alone, when we have someone who needs us we feel purposeful and completed. You said it so simply and so well!
This is so beautiful. For me it is very important that our older generations impart their wisdom to our younger generations. I really liked the sentiment you expressed in this. It had hope and a reviving of a sense of purpose!
That's one of the best reasons in the world.
