purpose? what is the purpose of something, anything, everything? if we think literally everything has a purpose doesn't it? car= mode of transportation, glass= a vessel to contain a liquid, toothbrush= clean our teeth, bed= a place to sleep.
is that really the purpose for these items? think of all the other "purposes" those things can be used for. purpose is completely relative. purpose is subjective. purpose is what you want the purpose to be. for some a car may not be modes of transportation, but a place to live or a hobby, a glass may be used as a vase for flowers or a weapon to throw. a toothbrush may be used to clean the floor or a luxury item for those without, a bed can be a place to meditate and share our most intimate experiences with. purpose is what you want it to be.
with that said, what is our purpose? the answer is different for everybody, but the difficult task is to truly absorb and think about your purpose. my dad would say his purpose is to provide a decent wage for his family and wife and be able to retire in two years so he and my mom can travel the country. is that his purpose? or is that his existence? that is for him to answer. what is my purpose? i don't know yet. what i do know is that i'm beginning a journey that will help me to consciously be aware of that question, embrace it and embark on a journey to fulfill it. for that i am very optimistic and excited.
on a completely different note, new season of survivor starts tonight, just popped some popcorn and can't wait for the backstabbing to begin!
