Is the world a better or worse place for having had you in it?

Is the world a better or worse place for having had you in it?

It’s a simple question but one we should all think about.

We’ve all done stupid things in our lives, we’ve all hurt others in some way. But hopefully we’ve also helped people in some way too.

If you put the negative things you’ve done in your life on one end of a seesaw, and the positive things on the other end, what would happen?

Which end of the seesaw would touch the ground?
