Good day, people of Hive! Welcome to my blog. Today's topic is "What's Our Purpose?" Purpose is one of the big questions that almost everyone thinks about. "Why am I here?", "What's my reason for being?" or "Is there more to life than to make money?". So the question now is, is purpose simply about making money to live a comfortable life, or is there something deeper that connects all of us together, or maybe purpose is something we create for ourselves just to feel more in control? I would love to list something about purpose, so let's dive into it.
(1) For many people, purpose is something that we choose for ourselves; maybe it gives us the feeling of satisfaction. For example, maybe building a career or running a business, but for others, it could be spreading happiness and kindness or helping others. Another example: if we are someone who loves teaching, we might feel that it's our purpose and responsibility to teach others so that they can learn and become someone in life. So what might feel meaningful for you might be different for what matters to another person.
(2) Some believe or think that there's a universal purpose for all humanity, something bigger than just ourselves. There's this idea that says that maybe we're all here to make the world a better place, to care for each other, etc. There's this philosopher named Friedrich Nietzsche who believed that people should create their own purpose rather than waiting for it to come from outside sources like religion or society. This purpose isn't just personal, but rather something that connects us all as human beings.

(3) Some people see purpose as a journey that changes over time. For example, when we're young, our purpose is to learn and have fun, but later, as we grow up, our purpose changes to build a career for ourselves or to build a family with someone we love. This means that we don't have to have a single purpose, but instead we can find purpose in different parts of life.
(4) Some people believe or think that purpose is found in connecting with others; it might be showing kindness to people, supporting friends and family, etc. Purpose doesn't have to be difficult; sometimes it's just about us being a good friend or a family member.
(5) Some people, especially those who are religious, believe that their purpose is to carry out God’s assignments. For example, they feel it is their purpose to bring unbelievers closer to God by preaching the word of God to them.
So, is purpose a simply human construct
Some people believe or think that purpose is something we create for ourselves to give our lives meaning, while some people believe or think purpose is something deeper than we think.
In conclusion, purpose can be all these things I mentioned. For some people, it's about their personal goals, but for others, it's about helping people. There's no right or wrong about purpose, but rather it's about what makes life meaningful to us.
