Having been a string-puller before, this question is easy for me. Going beyond that, I define purpose as whatever I’m trying to accomplish and meanning as what comes out of it. For example, intimacy with God is my purpose. Inner peace and security I get from that is meanning.
Water. Its purpose is to seek its level. Always moving. Seeking. No matter its form. For it has many. Liquid. Solid. Vapor. It has one meaning. LIFE. Agua es Vida.
Peace, Love & Light.
I was really touched by Brother David’s quote. I have to think on it. I think of literature: there’s really no point per se to reading (although truth be told I turn it into the purpose of filling in the gaps in my knowledge) but it is redolent of meaning.
I guess this is a tough one—I’m the first, lol. Meaning, to me, is the relevance of the external world. Nature, my family, other humans. It’s the poignancy of all sentient (a lot more is sentient than we perceive). Purpose is my reason for being here. What can I do to be awake to the meaning of all life. What can I do to make life a little better for others.
Avril, we’re together on purpose. Purpose, reason, motive, and intention come from the same family. And as far as meanning goes, we align on that too. My response on “What comes out of it” and external are pretty much similar.
