How is it that some things can just stir such strong emotions in me?

I've been reading over at blue like that about Mr. Rogers' last episode. When I start reading about her memoirs and realizing what he's done and how he's affected people, I get all teary eyed. It's weird cause you see what he's done, and it makes me want to strive to help people. Even in some weird detached way.

It's people like him and like mother theresa that make you see that you can accomplish something in this life. What they've done/did in their short lives inspires me. I just thought I'd share as I feel like a complete goomba for sitting at my computer almost crying.
