There are times when people ask themselves, what is my purpose, why am I alive, what's my role here on Earth? We often ponder over meaningless things and situations or try to dig deep and reflect upon the most difficult questions about our existence.
But small things are the ones that make our lives worthy and interesting. Because when we find a meaning in them, then they are not small anymore.

The last cartoon I've seen was Mary and Max, a beautiful, warm-hearted story which completely differs from the cartoons we are used to these last years. The plot revolves around two people, a middle aged New Yorker Max and Mary, a little girl from Australia who become pen friends. They start to write to each other and slowly become best friends, chatting about most common issues, such as chocolate, babies or their favourite cartoon figures. The story is so well written and told that the viewer can't help but being dragged into their world and start feeling compassion for their sad and "meaningless" lives.

Sad and meaningless at first. But as the story unfolds its beauty, step by step we start to understand its purpose and the whole meaning of the cartoon. Through a vast number of funny and humorous situations, crazy and witty characters and their flaws/virtues and above all, a perfectly written scenario, we begin to understand what life is all about. It's about compassion, warmness, beauty (but that inner beauty which we often neglect) and mostly love. All of these things are hidden among those little things that make our life worth living. It is only the matter of time we figure it out and start living, because sometimes it might be too late.
