Most of "us", as in your peers, those visible to you. Nothing wrong with feeling a sense of purpose.

Most of "us", as in bus drivers, bored security guards with nothing to do, McDonald's cashiers, cleaning personnel who clean in your office between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. so you never have to encounter them, would they be depressed and forlorn without the "purpose" of their awesome jobs?
