Concept Notes:

What is the purpose of life?

That’s a real tough one. But I think that the meaning of life is the ideals we impose upon it, what we
demand of it. I’ve come to reaffirm my Boy Scout motto, give or take a few words that the meaning of life is
to: Do good, Be Good, but also to Receive Good. The foggy term in this advice, of course, is ‘good’; but I
leave that to the intuitive powers that we all share.

There are, of course, many intuitively clear examples of Doing Good: by retrieving a crying baby from a
dumpster; by trying to rescue someone who’s drowning. Most of us would avoid murdering; and most of us
would refrain from other acts we find intuitively wrong. So our natural intuitions determine the meaning of
life for us; and it seems for other species as well, for those intuitions resonate through much of life and give
it its purpose.

The actual meaning of life is to fulfill your purpose in life and accomplish your goals. What I mean by
this is, everyone has a purpose, of why they are living. None of us will be here if we all didn't have a
purpose
