Your life does affect others, whether they need you or not. I'm in a terrible spot in life - no money, no job, no status, no S.O., barely any friends and family that I still speak to. No one needs me. But I know that my life, insignificant as it is, affects more people than I can possibly imagine, in ways I don't even know about. Even more so for you, most likely.

A friend's cousin's aunt's sister's husband is reported missing in Japan, probably dead, and while I am far removed from this man, I'm sorry for the loss. We're all in a big web of life, and we do affect one another.

Hope this made sense and helped in some way.
