PURPOSE




The true meaning of purpose to me is this: there are two types of worlds in our head
1. The world as it is
2. The world as it should be (According to our unique interpretation)
Purpose is our pursuit of achieving the world as it should be ; you might not finish it to a logical conclusion, but that shouldn't be your problem...life will make sure someone continues from where you stopped; your role however is to finish it to the best of your ability, an ability we were all endowed with to perfectly deplete upon the completion of our purpose.
Literarily purpose refers to the reason for something. If this definition makes any sense, it follows that all men (and living things for that matter) are all a part of a big picture. What however is not clear to most people are these:
-Whose picture are we talking about?
-What is the in his/her/its mind?
-How will this picture be achieved?
For starters, I am talking as one who believes strongly in the exclusive infinity of God and my views on this subject may be geared towards that line but for the benefit of those that have contrary views I will try to present my thought in a manner that builds on common logic.
Every scientist believes in the concept of “necessity then invention”, if this is true (which I know it is) it means that the birth of particular child happens to fit into the necessity of the child (not necessarily the other way round).
I believe it is this necessity that plays out in a very complex and dramatic way to determine the child's gender, DNA combination, temperament, etc.
The world as we know it is not a friend to things it can't understand and I don't expect it accept some things so soon but I believe strongly that given time, all this puzzle will play out well - that the existence of man is not accidental like some people believe, it is a deliberate design by a designer who masterminded the concept of the design through an elaborate plan and then went on to "create" the creatures.
All creatures he made very perfect and complementary, creating certain vacuums in them so they can discover themselves and be co - creators with him.
