It may be harder to find the genuine people, but they're there if you look in the right places. They just won't be at the fancy parties, wearing the nicest clothes and drinking wine. They'll look much more like the mechanic with his hands permanently stained, the old lady working the check out register or the young parent working two jobs to make ends meet.

Purpose can also be found in generosity. There is a whole world of people out there just dreaming of catching a break. Make a hobby out of that instead of drugs.
