I help save animals lives daily. So I probably make up for those 84 he he he. Certainly not the grandest thing anyone's done, but certainly not the least. It's nice to know at the end of the day there's a good reason you smell like wet dog. For every rabbit that's DOA and every puppy that dies overnight, you get cats saved from car accidents and some owner bringing cookies. And, of course, a discount on Frontline.
On the other hand, I just witness my great-aunt (crazy witch) placing her sister in a nursing home and selling everthing she owned -- enough for my great-aunt to buy a new car. I couldn't do a darn thing. I felt so powerless to stop this crime, but I'm not consider close enough kin and the great aunt I am trying to help doesn't even know who I am anymore. I have learned the hard way you can't judge a person by their relatives.
Not to long ago I donated my first gallon of blood (and I didn't even faint lol). I'd like to think I helped save lives.
Shakesphere saw life as a play (well d'uh he is the Bard). "...Struts, and stirs no more" if I remember correctly. We each have our roles, our costumes, and our lines. We play our one act and leave. But the effects we make last throughout the play. Hamlet's father makes only one appearence, and it is safe to assume that one presense (a ghostly one at that) affected the rest of the play.
