I too, am searching for the ur-motive, if you will permit me my small arrogance.
I, presently, am 6'1", 200 lbs. This fact is implicit in the way I was reacted to as I grew
up, rather than any way I thought the world reacted to me.
I worked damned hard when it came to sports. I earned my way up the ladder, bit by
goddamn bit.
I am, and was gifted, in many ways.
I always refused to take credit for it.
Then I saw a project I felt would help people I loved.
I fuckin' performed.
I got it done.
I'm not sure if this makes sense, but
given the chance, if I see something worthwhile doing
I would do it.
