Getting Personal
Would you say that you yourself have a single definable life purpose? If so, how would you define it?

If, perhaps, you do not currently have any clearly definable purposes in your life, do you feel that this represents a problem, or do you feel that it is really not that necessary for a person to have clearly defined purposes?
“There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home.” (John Stuart Mill)
