To save as many animals as I can
To be furiously myself.
Of course there’s “how do you define yourself” but I discover it every day and it changes spectrally every few weeks (it better) so my definition is wrong over and over again. And I’m right over and over again too. Am I drunk?
It’s hard to define in words, since words lose meaning and are imperfect when they leave your mouth.
But I feel well-defined when I turn a gun game into a tea party. Or a tea party into a gun game.
When I stay up wake to grab an extra bite of time, or when I do jack shit to stare at cool red cirrus clouds. I’m defined when I fuck up but bite my way up the wall into a standing position.
When I write something down and look back at it later – “wow, I was smart” or “wow, I was braindead” – then do it again.
Decorate my room, or make my lock screen pretty, or reanimate a useless skill.I’m only a little opinionated though. If I download a personality, that’s still me. If I 180, that’s still me. If I’m dead wrong and eat advice, that’s still me.
I’m not gonna carpe diem into a crime spree but my time is fucking mine so fuck everything (romantically/derogatorily)
Purpose?
So much this.
Not to die today
To discover and adhere to an objectively moral life.
Learning.
To quote Carl Sagan, “We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.”
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.
Have you looked into Epicuianism? Sounds like what you wrote fits.
To crush my enemies, see them driven before me and hear the lamentations of their women
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.
Lol It’s great when different values align and each builds towards your life purpose.
To make as many people as uncomfortable as I humanly can.
To annoy my wife.
Crush the patriarchy and bring about equity and equality. And jacking the hog…
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
