Reg? What do you mean by nothing?
I'm totally serious about the question. How do you measure that? How will you know when you have it, or something else in its place?
If you helped an elderly person across the road, just by being alongside, as they tottered across, is your presence meaningless? I did that today. I defied traffic to take us both out, as it seemed they almost were willing to take the elderly one, alone. Just by adjusting my pace.....
Is a series of similar vignettes also meaningless?
To whom?
When is enough enough?
Have you done any volunteer work, Reg? I know some people in some care homes who would dearly love you for your meaninglessness, simply by being there with them.
Just wondering.
