  taking the lead

  6,778,115,197
  
  the estimated number of humans on this very planet at this very moment. and every single number counts. notice this number is not rounded to the nearest thousandth, hundredth, even . . . tenth?
  
  i would like to believe that every single human being has a purpose and that each is here at this very moment for a distinct reason. and yet here i sit at my computer, in the middle of nowhere typing out this mad mixture of words that virtually no one will feast their eyes upon. so what is my purpose? i used to ( and occasionally still do ) have this strong nagging voice in my head begging me to become a leader. to just get up and lead. but to where i have no idea and a leader is nothing, or in this case no ONE, if he/she has no vision or destination. is it possible to lead blindly? i suppose we are supposed to follow blindly...
  
  but that is far beyond the point. because you see there is yet another voice, faint but persistent, who only whispers what i have always feared is true. you are just one lousy number that decides if the population is rounded up or down today.
  
  maybe there is one sole purpose for me. maybe i am just a random person with no purpose who only shares the air supply. maybe i am somewhere in between.  or maybe, JUST maybe, i have to choose which is true.
  
  do you believe we all have a purpose?
