The late Malcolm Forbes, editor of Forbes Magazine, stated that, “anybody who thinks money is everything has never been sick, or is.” Pastor David McKenchie, who found this quote, expands its meaning: “The two most important days of our lives are the day we will born and the day we discover why we are born. We spend most of our lives conjugating three verbs: to want, to have and to do. They have no real significance for us, except as they are transcended from the verb to be. The essence of life is tied up in being, not wanting, having or doing.” - David McKenchie, Experiencing God’s Pleasure

Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
