It takes him a couple of minutes to compose an idea. "Life doesn't have an inherent purpose. It doesn't need one. A rock doesn't have a purpose, nor the air nor water nor sunlight. We are the same. We exist. Like the rock, we may be made useful by others, or as we are thinking creatures we may choose to be, but it is not built in."

If there's something you want, make it reality. You don't need empty hope, you need conviction and action."
