(NN) Purpose

"Man would rather have a void for a purpose then be void of purpose," sadly this statement has a ring of truth to it. Without a purpose man feels empty and void; like they have a pit in their stomach and they don't know what to do about it. It's like having a purpose makes life worth living and without that purpose there is no point to living. Typically when someone feels like they have no purpose in life then they become depressed; it's like we've made having a purpose the reason and cause of life. Like the qoute said humans would rather make their purpose in life to do nothing then to live with no purpose. Both do the same thing, make the life void and give it no meaning, but one sounds better then the other. Humans as a whole decide they would rather have one thing over the other because it sounds better even if in the end the two choices are equal.

Probably the lesson is that, given our necessary longing for some purpose or other, we should choose our course wisely.
