A Noble occupation

I think being a school teacher, a policeman, a fireman, a nurse, a pastor, are noble occupations. To impart our will, or our abilities for the benefit of others without any reward for ones self seems to be the best part of mankind. In the 80's it was the "me" generation. We thought it was about a bigger car, a bigger house, a bigger credit limit...a bigger idiot we became. It's never been about self. I am selfish at times. I want my way, my stuff and for life to indulge me at times, but I have learned its a lot like eating a million calorie hamburger..you feel terrible afterwards. I feel guilty, like I've stolen something from an inocent world. I will probably never be a policeman, a fireman, a nurse, a teacher or a pastor, but I want to lead my life they way they do their lively hoods...helping others be at least who they are and maybe a little better for having known me. If at the end of the day and the end of my life, I can at least feel I've done that most of the time...I'll feel like I've been successful. I once had a young man and a young lady tell me that I was a great influence in their lives when they were younger...those few words meant the world to me and more to me than they will ever know. It validated who I had strived to be up until that point in my life...has that happened to you? Would you like it to?...start acting like a school teacher or a policeman..be noble!
