Patch Adams is an incredibly powerful movie with Robin Williams, based on the real story of Hunter Patch Adams, a doctor trying to provide free health care and treating his patients with humour. This movie is all about the title of this blog: trying to make of your life a work of love. I think it shows that service to others doesn't have to be a sacrifice, but is, on the contrary, wonderfully rewarding for oneself too. If you haven't seen this movie, watch it, and let me know what you think. And don't give me that "oh it's way too cheesy" shit. Get over it and refuse to be cool, just for once. If you're not moved by this movie, perhaps you're heart-dead :-)
This fragment shows the ending. Only for those who have seen it already, or for the ones who absolutely refuse to watch it :-)

Thank you for all the wonderful reminders of how much beauty and love exists in the world! You've reminded me of one of my very favorite Einstein quotes: "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." If fear has created so much unnecessary suffering, love has created the compassion necessary to make our way through that suffering. Thank you for refocusing attention on Love!
thank you for reading, whoever you are :-)
