I don't know what that is.

But a person has many purposes and serves his own purposes.

If the world around me is not at peace with me, I cannot ignore the world and find peace as if the world didn't exist.

life is to live but there are many things that serve life, such as your body has the purpose of providing you a place to be in the earth, but life doesn't seem to serve the purpose of those who are alive seeing that life is being alive. therefore life isn't required to have purpose to be alive.

If we talk about what is the purpose? So in simple words purpose is a thing that is required to do anything. You can’t do anything if you don’t have a purpose to do. In the whole world, there is not a single thing that is happening without purpose. From The earth revolving around the sun to the Ant walking along the road everything thing is happening for a specific purpose.

The purpose:


God's story, of cheekiness from only after the perfect weakness has preceded God (a desire to formulate the story, only after Cheryl Cole and Amy Childs' nationalism as their visual's celebrity from metaphysics apparatus has been authenticated by the real Cheryl Cole and Amy Childs), is not a rival, to the singularity theory (this being that all the identities, the matters, the ideas, the stories, the histories and the physics of the universe being temporary, derives from the permission by the technology page to the universe, to have all of its varieties be temporary so that the user of said technology page doesn't have to look up - in just writing this, the deceased actor Kevin Kilner has reiterated to me, that he has been since 2011 a demon of torment, because Mason Dertry is a destroyer of soul matter**) being usurped by the Noomi Rapace retort, to Mason Dertry and Peek-A-Boo:


The anti-glamour, of existence, is waiting for body glamour to move toward it.


**The confirmation, of Kilner's truth, is that during today's morning, my control of Bandit involved me being about to say "This Way" to him, and due the process of about to say this, Mason Dertry implanted the words as visible text in my mind; the specific science, of this history, is that it showed up as a possession before the awareness

That is a huge IF. BUT, considering the Fact that EVERY person serves A 'purpose', then the rest of your question here is just moot.

Do you feel a NEED to be valued?

If no, then NO we are NOT locked in a NEED to feel valued.

But, if you do feel a NEED to be valued, then WHY?

Are you YET at peace with EVERY thing?

If no, then WHY NOT?

The source of life has a purpose for life. But living doesn't reveal what that purpose is.

in the case you speak of
if you're living the life the source of life has given you, then how is it you wouldn't know the purpose of the life you're living. isn't the life you would be living the revelation thereof?

Life doesn't reveal its purpose anymore than UFO's reveal their purpose.

If you think otherwise tell me the purposes of life and UFO's.

Purpose is to have a desire to affect a certain change in the outer world, in other words, the purpose is intention. Purpose could be to affect change in one's behaviour towards the outer world.
