Answer to the final question ??

I have a habit of jotting down quotes, questions, statements, ... rather any kind of utterance made by people, if i find them interesting and stimulating. Presently i have a substantial collection of such jottings. When i was going through my office papers, i chanced upon this specific statement:

"A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the 'why' for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any 'how'. "

Simple yet profound !!! Perhaps the answer to the ultimate question :-)
