"What is it you want?", asked the old man. The other old man stopped at the question. "From what?", he replied. "Oh, life in general", spoke the first man. The second old man paused, and then replied. "I have lived long. I have dreamed. I have loved. I have hated. I was never a father. I have been kind, cruel, and indifferent. I have had the admiration of others, and the enemies that come with it. I have had power, and power has had me. But that which I wanted most, I lost.". "What was that?" asked the first old man. " A purpose", replied the second old man. "A man without a purpose is a fool for a thousand sunrises, for he will never accomplish his mission in life.".
