Sometimes I feel like living in a society lacking in humanity. People around me don't understand that there is a certain joy of giving, when you become selfless, serve and uplift those in need. Despite your situation, you always think of those you can help. At that point I believe, that the universe will take care of you.

The real poverty, is the poverty of the soul, for believers, there is also a life after this one, and people who have been living a terrible life, but stayed true to other people and were good, will live for eternity in heaven, while other human beings who didn't care about others, will be punished for their egoism. For believers, life is a test; God wants to see who is an egoist, and who is a guy like Krishnan, Narayanan Krishnan. What an amazing, beautiful and selfless man. This brings tears to my eyes. He is such an inspiration. This man walks the walk - so many of us just talk the talk. A true hero and I salute him, may God bless him.

They should show these kinds of films throughout whole schools, kindergartens, collage etc. This is something to take example from, not MTV that brainwashes kids these days showing garbage like my sweet sixteen, jersey shore etc. They should teach the young people, that the most important things on earth are NOT money, looks, sex and partying.

What is the ultimate purpose of life? - TO GIVE.

Do share other examples of humanity done right - Maybe something happened in your own life, something you saw on the internet etc.

Everyone has their own life, their own baggage and struggles. Some people get sad/angry over materialistic things that they don't have, some cry over small problems they go through and some even doesn't appreciate being alive.

So I want you to meet Nicholas James Vujicic. He is an Australian preacher and motivational speaker born with Tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs.

He is such an inspiration to me. He helped me get back to finish my degree in electrical engineering, after my drop out. And he taught me the lesson of life; that it's a lie to think you're not good enough. It's a lie to think you're not worth anything. I love him for being such an incredible person.

"Have you ever felt trapped in circumstances, then discovered that the only trap was your own lack of vision, lack of courage, or failure to see that you had better options?" - Nicholas James Vujicic.

"I remember he came into my office, closed the door, and said 'Coach, we need to talk.' And then he told me, I'm a bone marrow match". And you know what I told him? "Let's see, 12 throws in Binghamton or save a life? Do it. Donate. Sport is not bigger than life. Sport is a part of life."

"People say he only gave up track," the Coach said. "But no, it's more than that. You give up championships. This was his shot. But he gave it up for the right reason. And in the end, he contributed to our athletic programs as an athlete, and as a student, and now as a person. You can't ask for more than that."

What an act of selflessness!

What is love? - For me, THIS IS:

"NEED KIDNEY 4 WIFE" said the sign he wore on a sandwich board over his shoulders as he walked the streets of Anderson, South Carolina. Mrs Swilling, 76, was born with just one kidney, and ever since it started failing last year she has been looking for a replacement.

"She's my everything", he told. "We've been married 57 years. She's my life."
