Importances of life

I've always wondered what makes someone feel important and why they live their lives the way they do. The thing I find humorous though is that most will say something like "I'm not that important" or "I haven't really done anything to feel important yet". After I hear so many people say this, I think "WOW, that is really sad" because I can see how important they are but they can't. Then I realized, maybe no one makes them feel important or reminds them that they are. I think now we are becoming such a "hi, bye" generation, that we don't stop to take the time to make each other feel important. I know we all don't have the same hobbies or passions but I know how it feels to feel like none of what you love to do matters. We focus all of our time and energy into working hard for a career, a perfect body, and a perfect life that we literally forget how to make other people just smile and feel loved. You might think I'm crazy and maybe I am, but how often do you reach out to someone that sits alone during the day or say hello to someone you know that has a hard time making friends? Importance doesn't mean that you have to have the most friends, a lot of money, or be the star athlete, importance is how you help make someone else feel and what you give back to the world. You will forever be important if you make the effort in life to change the negatives that the world has created.
