Besides, my usefulness here is destroyed because all of my friends think me a man of unsound mind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
I am a maker of useful things.
It's important to ask yourself, How am I useful to others? What do people want from me? That may very well reveal what you are here for.
My friends all regarded me as a man of unsound mind because I held the view that my wife was with me in spirit always. I have lived with her spirit guiding me every day and she is with me now as I write this letter, and helps me to do as I am now doing.
I obtain great satisfaction out of using my intellect.
What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.
What greater bliss than to look back on days spent in usefulness, in doing good to those around us.
No man is useless while he has a friend.
So long as we are loved by others I should say that we are almost indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend.
The friends whom I have are invaluable, and although not numerous they are sufficient for my enjoyment; and the texture of my own mind renders me very indifferent to the rest of the world.
