Nobody ever means that, but some days I wonder what the hell I'm doing. I'm not a genius, by any standard, and I likely wouldn't be the one to come up with the cure for cancer, but why the hell am I not dedicating my life to that project and helping those people there might find a way to eradicate cancer? Or HIV/AIDS? Or child poverty? Some days I think that would not be a bad idea, to drop everything and dedicate my life to something greater than myself.

Nothing to see here. Just your usual existential crisis brought on by a comment about a kid dressed up as Batman.
