Near the end of the movie Groundhog Day, Phil Connors (Bill Murray) asks this simple question:
"What can I do for you today?"
That is the key to the story the movie is telling, and it is the key on the larger scale to living a moral and meaningful life. It is not all about him, as Phil finally discovers, but all about everyone else.
I just love the movie Grounhog Day, having seen it umpteen times, and I love being reminded each time around of this elegant sort of gospel message. Love one another deeply. Seek not your own good, but the good of others.
Or, as the Beatles put it: And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.
