As promised.

This time on Jordan can be a whining bitch sometimes. Purpose.

I have considered purpose and I have now reached an understanding that is acceptable to me. Purpose is complicated. There will never be just one purpose in your life. But I define things as necesary purposes, plain purposes, and grand purposes. Each represent a different part of life.

A necesary purpose is something inevitable. An education, further education, a job these are all necesary purposes. A necesary purpose can be defined as something that will happen. You will get an education, you will get more education, you will get a job. These necesary purposes exist inside the society that we live in and would exist outside of it. If we were still cavemen then it would be hunting and gathering.

A plain purpose is mundane like washing the dishes or folding clothes. It has an immediate goal and a tangible reward. However it's nature is that it will not last very long. Compared to the other kinds of purpose which. Can take up vast tracks if your life.

A grand purpose defines you. It is what you decide to do with your life. Some people choose to glorify God. I know several people that have this firmly set as their grand purpose. And there is nothing wrong with it. Others choose to create a vast fortune, for various reasons, children or greed. And then there's the romantic among us who just want to find someone who will love them as much as they love that person.

A grand purpose can change without it being accomplished. As can a plain purpose. I could be converted to a religion halfway trhough making cereal. Both my plain and grand purposes change but mg necesary purpose will remain the same until it or a similar purpose is accomplished.

But above all. A purpose is personal. It can only be decided by you. Influenced by others yes. Decided by others no. And there is one more type of purpose I forgot to mention. Instinctive purpose. Or survival. Every purpose we undertake serves our survival in one way or another. If you think about it long enough. Everything will come down to surviving, or enabling that survival. Except for maybe suicidal urges. Which I will expand on later if I ever expand this into a proper article.
