Meaning and excitement are two different things in my opinion. It depends on which you are interested in.

One of my favorite days in my life wasn't very exciting, but extremely meaningful. A woman wanted to interview a Buddhist for her World Religions class and I was volunteered. During the interview, a woman with PTSD came in and she told me how it was so bad she had been told by doctors that she would never be a functioning member of society.

My words to her were, "Nobody is a lost cause."

By the time she left the Temple, she was crying and blubbering and said, "You Buddhists are always happy. I'm probably the only person that's ever cried in here."

I could just smile, "No, there was at least one other person here today that was crying."

I never saw her again, but she'll never know how much her appearance there meant to me.

Now if you want excitement. Well, drive a Volkswagen Rabbit. They're exciting to drive ... just for all the wrong reasons. Two words come to mind when I drove mine ... death trap!
