I took a walk through Millennium Park this morning. I got my first upclose look at the Big Chrome Bean, I guess we're supposed to call it "Cloud Gate".

It sparked this poll.

6. I would pick love out of those

But I picked other. I would say compassion.
"All you need is compassion...bah bah bah bah bah, All you need is compassion bah bah bah bah bah bah...all you need is compassion, compassion....compassions all you need." I guess I can see why Lennon chose love. :shrug:

11. Todd put 'Compassion' to music.

"For there is nothing so sad
as a life without compassion.
And even love has turned bad,
it was love without compassion.
And you don't need what you had
'Cause you did not have compassion.

Dying on your bed of pain
What will you have now?

You'll get no judgment from me,
I can only feel compassion.
And if that's what you need,
I will give you my compassion.
Just don't forget about me
'Cause we all need some compassion.

Open up your heart
so you can start to feel compassion.
Get down on your knees,
pray to heaven for compassion.
Everybody needs compassion.
If you want to be healed
then you know you got to feel compassion."

Simply put. You find your own purpose in life. There is no asigned purpose. There is no mission. There may be wisdom but it is discovered not given.
