To the class of 2000: Love is why you're here

Margaret Rogers

Commencements don't take place just at graduation ceremonies. They're about beginning, and opportunities to begin never end. One such beginning for me happened before I graduated, when I went to a talk sponsored by the Christian Science organization at my university. The speaker said something that made a big impression on me: "At the end of the day, ask yourself what you've accomplished. If you can't say you've helped or healed someone, you haven't accomplished anything."

Healing is essentially about love.
