Before, when I was alive, I was a healer on the battlefield. I spent every day of my life bandaging wounds, easing fevers, setting broken bones - all for those who would, the second they recovered, get back up and go out to do it all over again. After years of watching good soldiers throw away my efforts to keep them alive, I quit.
What, I asked, was the purpose of a healer, if those I healed refused to hold onto life?
[ a pause. ]
Years later, a former master of mine came to tell me that a General needed my help. And over time, her purpose became my purpose.
[ a sigh, here. ]
My suggestion, Brimstone, is to see what gives others their drive to live. If you cannot find something yourself, copy someone else's work until you find what works.
