The purpose of life is to be useful

"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful,
to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some
difference that you have lived and lived well."

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson


No times that we didn't aspire to be happy, unfortunately happiness won't exist for long, there is eventually sadness that will come to take its place. In order to live well and be useful, we must be honorable, compassionate, and having a difference when they compare us. Living well must be achieved in the presence of sadness and happiness.
