My vote: "SMile and make others smile" - not because I don't have any other targets in life, noop! It's just that it seems my white star made me that way. I can't save the world (it'd be too presumptuous); I can however try to be happy in my own fashion, enjoy myself as it is possibly allowed and make others happy. A smile and a nice word make wonders, u know? See!? You're smiling yourself right now

Thanks Brigith and Jacek. I disagree with the distinction you make Jacek and your notion of pretentiousness. Just to be a pervert (which wasn't actually an option), I didn't include my preferred option in the poll (which ...oh, hold on) ... shucks, I'll plump for the last one ...

You misread the question: I didn't ask "how?"

Should you mean "to love," it's of course included in my notion of "something valuable." On the other hand, you could also read it into "expressing sth original" because I do not think human love, with its component of community of minds in my case, can be compared to anything else in the fauna. J.

Ouf, too early in the morning for such philosophy  Have a great day
