Existence is Worthwhile

So since it is almost Christmas, I wanted to share something that touches me and shares the spirit of Christmas. Each year my family watches the movie, "It's a Wonderful Life", and each year I get something different out of it. In the past having felt the same feelings that George Bailey feels, I cry every time I watch this movie. I remember thinking that I didn't want to exist. The thought of never being born was so appealing to me at that time in my life. With the help of my family and my Heavenly Father I eventually got those thoughts out of my head, but I will never forget what they felt like. When I watch this classic, instead of seeing it as a regular Christmas movie, I see it as a reminder that every individual's life is important. Tonight while watching "It's a Wonderful Life", the quote "Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?" was the one to touch me. If we look back on our lives and imagine them without ourselves ever being born, we will notice the "awful hole" that is mentioned. Everyone matters. We all touch the lives of others. If you haven't see "It's a Wonderful Life", I encourage you to do so and remember that nothing is worth more than one's existence. Oh, and Merry Christmas!
