Question to think about: Why do you do this? Why do you do anything? Is it that there has to be some meaning in anything you do in your life?  

 

Newsman Sir, why are you running?
1st Reporter Why are you running?
2nd Reporter Are you doing this for world peace?

Newsman Or for the environment?
Reporter Or for animals?

no particular reason.

Young Man It's you. I can't believe it's really you.

Forrest Now, for some reason what I was doing seemed to make sense to people.

Young Man I mean, it was like an alarm went off in my head, you know. I said, here's a guy
that's got his act together. Here's somebody who's got it, all figured out. Here's somebody who has the answer. I'll follow you anywhere, Mr. Gump.
Forrest (voice-over) So, I got company.

Forrest (voice-over) And after that I got more company. And then...

Forrest (voice-over) ... even more people joined in. Somebody later told me...

Forrest (voice-over) Some of those people asked me if I could help them out.
