Tourism

Sometimes it occurs to me that if we come into this earth for a purpose, it may be some people's purpose in this life encounter interesting people and focus some attention on them.

It's really immaterial whether or not a "supreme" being or any kind of invisible friend really exists. Nevertheless, I do think that we need to find something within ourselves to impel us positively and productively, to inspire us to be part of a caring, inclusive and mostly humane and respectful community every day that we live.

If coming across people like that is one's purpose in life, then what?

Does one lose oneself in the general noise promoting them, or simply appreciate them as a casual tourist?
