I don't know.
I'm just here to raise entropy.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
To work for some asshole and make just enough money to get by.
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.
To enjoy the world and minimize how much I prevent others from enjoying it as well.
ideally producing scientific research and art but in practice I'm just trying to minimize my own suffering :/
Nothing!
My purpose in life is to produce poop and pee. I work hard so that I can afford food and water so that I can eventually poo and pee. I have an urge to reproduce so that my children can also poop and pee.
To "live", and by "live" I mean experience and creat Art. I don't need more nor less.
If I made it with honesty and care, it may not change the world, but it surely changes the people who will do it.
Any hope that your art will change the world?
To end it peacefully
To crush my enemies, see them driven before me and hear the lamentations of their women
To reduce human suffering by some degree, even if it's insignificant in the big picture.
curiosity
To quote Carl Sagan, “We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.”
On a cosmic timescale, facilitate a world with minimal suffering and maximal fulfillment.
I used to be flourishing as an artist. Now I'm just trying to not end up in a camp within the next 4+ years
Currently just trying to be a girl, be kind, and trying to help the people around me.
Spend your life enjoying it and helping others enjoy theirs. As the universe unfolds, we've only got this one brief moment of consciousness before we disappear, we have to make our life filled with as much happiness as we can. And help others fill theirs.
To make as many people as uncomfortable as I humanly can.
To spend time with the people I love.
I have lots and lots and lots of dreams.. And lots of issues
Crush the patriarchy and bring about equity and equality. And jacking the hog…
Learning.
Nothing. Purpose implies the potential for failure and while there are certainly circumstances that I would consider personal failures, there are none so great that they would invalidate my existence.
That said, I have a vision for my life and the state of the world that I would like to see realized. I want to see a world where climate change is taken seriously and recognized as the imminent threat that it is. It will be waiting on the other side of every economic crisis or war that man chooses to wage.
Being as comfortable as possible
I'm on a life-long quest to finding the EXIT from this matrix. For this I have to become the supreme lord of Holy C
I hope to leave whatever spaces I inhabit better than before I was there. I also want to be a cute girl with a cute tummy and thick thighs. I believe these are both aligned with one another.
The purpose of life is to live.
My purpose in life is varied and technical and super-great.
