COT:Albert Schweitzer, was a German philosopher that lived in the late 1800s through early 1900s. He is attributed with this quotation: “The Purpose of Human Life is to SERVE, and to show the compassion and the Will to Help Others.” We discussed this quote and how it applies to F3, and ended with another quote: “In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.”. I am thankful that the men of F3 have been that spark for me.
