You know what actually makes a difference in life? Acquire knowledge, apply that knowledge, make connections and use all of that to HELP other people and change the world.

But you know what makes a difference to the experience of bring alive? Changing the way you interpret experiences.

(you're very negative for someone who claims Helping people is the only thing which makes a difference).

And since when are people only allowed deep epiphanies, but not shallow ones, even assuming you can judge that from outside?
