13V: what is our purpose?

pur·pose the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.

Everything in life serves a purpose if you really think about it.  One thing that people have trying to figure out the purpose of is life.  Why were we specifically put here on earth, what is each of our exact purpose? No one really knows the exact answer because everyone serves a different purpose in life, but an article I read this week said a little bit more about it.  The article said that instead of living for the purpose of happiness we should live for the purpose of meaning.  We should go through life thinking of others and not our selves.  When we live for the purpose of meaning we will also find happiness.


Some other words that I came across this week are terminus and bias.  The word terminus means the end of something, like the end of a travel route or the station at the end of it.  The word bias is one that is frequently used in my Media and Everyday Life class.  A bias is a tendency to believe that some people, ideas, etc., are better than others that usually results in treating some people unfairly.
