What is success when we trample others?
True success is when we make the miserable smile.
What is knowledge when we don’t understand life?
True knowledge is when we use it to teach.
What is life when we use fulfill ourselves and not others?
We are only truly fulfilled when we serve.
All things are meaningless unless used in god.

I wrote this out of my own personal feelings and thoughts. Please don't be angry if it goes against what you believe. I know everybody has their own opinion on religion, I'm just trying to show mine.
