About This Quote
Every single human soul has more meaning and value than the whole of history. Sometimes, I think about the fact that every single human being had a beginning, a middle, and an end. Now imagine what it would be like if you could see life through the eyes of every single person that has ever lived. Life would seem to have no meaning or value. When you see that each one of us is special and important, it becomes very clear how it is possible to make the world a better place by making your own life better.
