No purpose is a purpose. If you had no purpose and wanted to keep it that way, that would then be purpose. If you wanted to change it so that you did have a purpose, then that in itself would become your purpose.

I forgot to add: My mum (very wise lady) says that you have to eat an orange every day-or, rather, what she means is that you have to do something intensely joyful each day (my mother is a great lover of oranges-me, I'm more of a crunchy apple person. We sometimes meet in the middle of our fruit fancies and have watermelon or mango). This attitude has pulled her through the illnesses and deaths of two very sick parents, the diagnosis of her husband with Parkinson's disease, three sick nieces and sundry other bits of rubbishness-populate your life with small joys, and you will have enough strength to cope with large sadnesses.

Would you agree that the above implies, in order to have purpose, one must make a conscience choice toward purpose; one way or the other? Have you noticed any that appear not to? Kim

quote: ORIGINAL: Aylee quote: ORIGINAL: pyroaquatic None of this living against nature. So, you live in a tree or cave and eat your meat raw, kind of a thing? More like building a domicile out of materials that are readily available and cheap. Like Bamboo. And screw square houses. That damn box of a house creates drag and drag could lead to destruction in the event of a hurricane or similar. Mine will be an icosahedron with the bottom cut off. Much less drag = Less of a chance to be blown away = better insurance rates (especially down here in florida). I do not want to eat mammals. If I had a meatless diet my excrement can and will go into the compost pile. Then we get lots of little earthworms to digest all of that Carbon and Nitrogen, Calcium, Phosphate, and BAM. We have vermipost which is better than any miracle grow. The point is to be self sustaining for an indefinite amount of time. Off the grid (but still connected mind you... accidents do happen) and able to make more energy rather than I need. Has anyone ever hear of a water based electrostatic induction? Or a HydroBattery? The spare electricity I make goes into a pump which pushes water up and against gravity. Then when you need some energy you simply let it flow down through a blade less turbine (thank you very much Tesla) and harness the energy when and if I need it. Anyways... I am in the research and development stage. I've had some projects work. For some reason I gave away all of my cool little magnifying lenses. I gave away the Fresnel Lens too. Damnit there goes my solar cook stove. I can get more though.... it just takes some deconstruction WOW THAT IS A MOUNTAIN OF VERBOSITY. There are many things I must do.
