I'm sure there's a pun in there involving 'u da man', but I'll leave that to you.<br /><br />In regards to your friend's poignancies of 'the purpose of life being to find the purpose to life', that, to be quite honest, makes me want to sit in a corner and cry because that sounds really hard and/or scary, and also a bit like it is a secret held in Area 51. I prefer to think of it as 'the purpose of life is to <i>give</i> life a purpose', which seems far more feasible, personal, and most importantly, doesn't make me want feel anxious and itchy.<br /><br />I reckon I would personally fit myself between your definitions of creational and recreational existences (http://madgiak.edublogs.org/files/2011/01/venn-diagram-19xjlvh.jpg), however unhealthy it feels to label oneself in such a way. <br /><br />This is all hilariously formal, I normally talk street with my best, most fresh bitches. Totally feel free to message me on tumblr if you read this, like, whatever dude I don't care.Tomhttp://therawestfeast.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242618742740908492.post-3160256723618151762012-04-13T20:13:24.235+01:002012-04-13T20:13:24.235+01:00My opinion is very similar to yours actually, howe...My opinion is very similar to yours actually, however, I never thought of writing on this subject.<br />Through my life(regardless of how significant it is), I have seen people from every category that you mentioned above. <br />I have grandparents whose only goal in life was to make heirs and build property.<br />My friends fall perfectly in the recreational category.<br />Then there is me, very much like you, I want to leave an imprint in this world. I want to become a theoretical physicist. I believe that there will always be my presence even after my 'tangible life' again, no matter how significant it might be. <br /><br />I am surprised by how different and intimate your blogs are. You have just gotten another genuine follower/subscriber/fan (whatever you call it) to your blog!MrDirtySlothttp://sexywithabrain.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
