Men who previously lacked a definite sense of purpose can often look back on a single experience that altered the course of their lives.

He lost his fiance to a rare form of leukemia and was advised to seek solace by venting his feeling among others who had suffered a similar tragedy.
Perhaps if he had done so, "I Apologize" would never have been written.
