  4. something that people are given drive to do what they do; the reason for existing; some people go their whole lives in search of it, not able to see what their true calling is; why something exists; doing something intentionally; (also used as: purposeful, purposefully)

  5. it’s my purpose to do good. to do good is the only purpose anyone should have. but maybe that’s just a matter of opinion; my opinion. does my opinion really matter, or should i just live according to my opinion and let others do the same? i think the latter.

  6. The purpose? The purpose of life…Tell me. Tell me the purpose so that i may find my one true life. Find my one true place and my one true meaning. Tell me my purpose…Tell me. For my heart will break, and my mind will break with the insanity of my life. Why should I go on….Tell me.
    The purpose of life.

    Julie Veith
  7. I’m not sure what my purpose is, but I know that one day I will find it. I feel that everything I do is leading to something bigger, something greater than I can even imagine right now, and that one day I’ll get there.

  8. What is the purpose of life? Many people have asked that question, and a few have attempted to answer it…but for me I have no clue the answer. Instead I search for it everyday as if I were stumbling through a dark forest searching for a beacon of light.

  9. what is my purose? am i supposed to be a teacher, a mom, a lover, a friend, etc? what does God want to do with my life. I am lost right now and I want answers. The answers will come i just have to wait. Waiting is difficult. I don’t want to wait. It is so hard . I feel trapped.

  10. The purpose is what it is, what it does, and why we do it. The purpose is in everything, vibrating our lives with a sense of it. No day, no month, no year goes by without it speaking to us, whispering to us, and advising to us.

    Zoe Newcomb
  11. i have no purpose. i don’t think that one can define purpose. because it is constantly changing. i think those who claim to have found their purpose are boring.

    brett
  12. To have purpose is to have definition. One who lives a purposeless life is seldom fulfilled in any endeavor. You can be venerated and encouraged but you will seldom find joy. Purpose grants us joy.

    Stevens Cadet
  13. She blinked her eyes once more.
    In a world full of lies and deception, what more can she find?
    Her heart is not without armor yet it still wounds.
    What is her purpose, then?

    yunisee
  14. purpose, as in life, purpose as in obligation to the greater good, to the grand scheme of things…

    what is it? what is my purpose? what is our purpose?

    To be the custodians of earth, to witness this planet’s unfolding magnificence and to preserve it as best we can, and, most importantly to enjoy it.

    Marc
  15. How wonderful to know that one’s life has a purpose. To know that good can be done and even more good can be achieved, to know that there are no limits to the amount of good put into this world. This is a meaningful purpose, one from the heart and delivered straight to this aching world of ours.

  16. Purpose guides us without it we are without reason, without hope, without meaning. You cannot live without meaning you merely exist. A life not lived is the saddest thing in the world.

  17. What is the purpose of Facebook and other social networking sites? People waste hours and hours on these time-consuming databases to post information about themselves as if people are sitting on the edge of their computer chairs waiting to see a picture of you at the beach or a status update about your broken phone. Social networking has truly ruined my high school experience, i feel too involved in other people’s lives and not enough in my own.

  18. One would think, after all, that there was a purpose to the whole thing. It turns out that there really wasn’t – at least not one that was evident! Time wasted, if you ask me! No one did, of course, but there is nothing new in that!

  19. Jensen asked the end of the shotgun, “So, what’s the purpose? I mean, a gun. Really? Hello?! Anyone home??? Have you seen the weather for today?” And both of them looked around at the roiling columns around the horizon.

  20. He stands at the cliff, looking over foamy white fog crawling through the valleys beneath. Somewhere down there, where he needs to be, there might be a place where he knows, where he can remember. Why he’s here.

  21. I have a purpose in life to help other people but it seems so difficult for me to focus on that purpose. I worry about a million other things when I know exactly where my purpose is and that is what makes me happy which is why it is even more insane that I would waste my time not doing it. All of my endeavors could be used to fill my purpose.

    Jean
  22. porpoise. purpose. Does a porpoise have a purpose. hmmm. more to thin about. Poor porpoise without a purpose.

  23. They say we all have a purpose in life. The only thing is, no one ever really clarifies what that purpose is. I think it’s our job to find out. What do you think your purpose is?

    Vangie
  24. I have purpose. Not a lot of people do. But sometimes I forget that. My purpose in life is to write this one thing, this one story. But the work, the work is so much and so hard. Or maybe not so much that as it is time consuming.

    Apollonia Castal
  25. A purposeful man is a happy one. Without purpose, we are not fulfilled in our lives. Without something to attain, we do not have a purpose to our lives.

    Sara
  26. everyone needs a purpose, even it it’s just a short one. Get up. Make bed, do dishes. Take one step at a time. The goal is not to float away, not to think, not to worry. Not to feel the panic that attacks without warning. Just keep going, just keep, just…

    Gloria
  27. The illusion of purpose is defined by our ancestors and History. Most of us need a purpose to justify our existence. What is purpose? Why is it needed? Is survival and comfort not enough for a human being?

    Josepi
  28. I have no purpose fo r my life right now! And the only thing I want is to find it!! Where is it?? Where is it???

    Mafalda Braz
  29. there is something about prupose that always rings true in someones heart! if we are not asking the question whats my purpose in life? well there is a lifetime to find out but dont just sit and wait to find purpose get amongst it and seek it!

    Michelle
  30. I’ve no idea what my true purpose is, I thought I did but I was wrong. Would it make any positive difference if I knew? Maybe being lost is no bad thing, you don’t know what

    Tom
  31. Purpose, hasn’t this word appeared on this site before? what is the – wait for it – purpose of that? Is it an automatic word generator uncaring of whether or not it has already appeared…or is it a great way for us to re-invent our deffinition of the word? With a new purpose…

  32. “‘As long as you do it on purpose, you will do it properly. Otherwise, you’re just following patterns you learned years and years ago,'” Pamela read from the “instruction manual.” “What the hell is this talking about?” She asked. “I have no idea,” Roger answered. “But it’s the hokey pokey so how difficult is it supposed to be?”

  33. I swear I didn’t hurt you on purpose, it just happened, and I am terebly sorry… but all people fail, and I guess you understand what I mean… They judge me but no one of them has the right to do that after what they did

  34. he was a man with a mission-with a purpose. people moved out of his way as he passed in the street. you could tell that he was going somewhere important, but no one stopped to wonder where that was or what was on his agenda. it was new york city, after all. who was i to mention that nobody cared about his neighbor, when i didn’t care about mine? even when my neighbor clearly had a purpose

  35. I ran down the street. Panicked. My child was in one of the house. About to be killed. I run up to door after door. Knocking. Knuckles bleeding. I woke myself on purpose. Wouldn’t you?

  36. People can spend their whole lives looking for their purpose in life- searching for a greater meaning in life. Often times it’s right in front of a person despite what one may believe. What most people don’t realize though, is that you can’t find your purpose. It finds you.

  37. We are lost without it, and yet it doesn’t exist in a specific form. How can something so vague be so imperative to a persons well-being and contentment.

  38. He’s on a mission to hurt me.

    He’s purposefully hurting me. Purposefully holding her hand, touching her, kissing her in front of me when he knows it’s tearing me up inside. He’s doing it deliberately because it’s a way for him to feel good about himself, to boost his ego and make him feel invincible, infalliable, the epitome of arrogance.

    He’s on a mission to hurt me.

    And it’s working.

  39. the angst of purposeless existences haunts me..

  40. purpose is the most hilarious song in avenue q, its not my favourite but it certainly is a good one. possibly the best is shadenfrauder, which is AHMAZING :)
