Well I decided I'd ask someone else since I have to right that d*mn pastish (however it is you spell it) for english. What's your purpose? Be aware your purpose is not a goal. :rolleyes: (I hated hearing that over and over again.) It's basically something like I am a friend to call or what not.

I had to give this a lot of thought, but I decided I was a listener. I'm not really good at sharing my feelings and opinions and others, and there isn't really anyone out there I can open to completely.

Anyhow if someone comes to me and asks for me to listen to their problems, I just can't turn them away though. Even if there really isn't anything I can do, i'll try to cheer them up anyway. Just the way I am. [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color="cyan">Hmmm....really good question, but I don't think I am a listener. I talk alot, to all my friends, and people I don't know. I don't have a confidence problem, and I can talk to anyone, whether I know them or not, about anything at all.

I do offer alot of advice, but I don't really listen I don't think.

I don't really think I have answered your question, but I tried.I'm tired, and it's only 6pm....:'(</font>

I think my purpose is to help people based on past experiance. For every bad thing that happens in life to me, it seems to happen to my best friend Fiona (yes my best friend is a girl, my girl friends sister infact. And no there's nothing going on between us before anyone asks... Honest)
Seriously, its getting beond coincidental. 3 months after my cousin died of cancer the same happened to one of her close friends. So i was able to help her through that.
I went through an alcohol problem and so did she. (Its a massive problem around here, so its not just the company i keep that's off the rails)
Well anyway the list goes on.

:D

Now then...down to business. My purpose seems to be that of a teacher; one that helps instruct and train others. At least, it seems to be my natural forte'.

khazadman 05-13-2002 03:14 PM

my purpose is to succeed,and make myself as independent as possible.i will not be dependent on others.

Grand-Ranger 05-13-2002 03:14 PM

Good thread RBF. I am not sure I have compeltley foud out what I am here for (Hey I have only had 14 years to figure it out ;) ).

Right now, I think I am just here, just for the sake of being here. I am sure somthing will come along my way. But as for now, I am just going to live a normal (or as normal as it gets around here) life, or try anyway.

Of course there are things. Like well, my cousn is one of my closeset friends, his parents are, well, difficult. And as it would turn out, I am seem to be the person he tells and looks to help for first.

Not that I volenterred for that job mind you. Then there are just others things, trying to be a good son and brother.

Thats it, for now.

BTW, I love you quote in your sig Saz, what ever happened to Piper anyway?

MagiK 05-13-2002 03:37 PM

Apparently my purpose is to take in various sorts of plant and animal bits, process them for a while then return them as a nutritive fertilizing agent. :D

Edit: and apparently if the first guess is wrong...I appear to be meant to be a smart ass :D

My purpose is to bring all souls together as one and help everyone simultaneously on a big single basis...

My pastiche (or however ya spell it) has the main content jammed into it, now i just have to work on the details and organize it...

My goal right now is to get my hands on one of these puppies:

lroyo 05-13-2002 08:03 PM

Nice question!!!

My purpose would be to seduce of course!!! :D

But seriously, I guess my purpose would be motivator. I am forever trying to get people actively interested and excited about things. It's not really something I think about, but if something has me excited, I generally try to get other people excited about it too.
I also try to get people to use their brain (you know, actually think about things), because people try very hard not to these days.

Lord of Alcohol 05-13-2002 08:52 PM

My purpose is to have no purpose. I just exist. [img]smile.gif[/img]

That sounds a lot like me [img]smile.gif[/img] . Also I think I'm kind of light relief - I provide the giggles for the group.

Black Dragon 05-14-2002 10:32 AM

Um David, not to be mean or nothing, but you were never very good at cheering me up when I was in Cuba... Oh wait, I never needed it. Never mind. But I think my purpose in life is to warm up the tv chair.

Black Dragon 05-14-2002 10:35 AM

Actually I think my purpose in life is to move around and just deal with it. My mom is having a harder time with it than me though.(I don't think she likes my grandma much right now though.)

Neb 05-14-2002 10:40 AM

I suspect that my purpose in life is to endure. To get through all of the crap that I'm getting hammered with to get to the other side where things will hopefully be better.... There I might have another purpose.

I think that I'm getting close to the end of my enduring days, though, I'm starting to see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel [img]smile.gif[/img]

Can we ever really have ONE purpose, though? And can we ever define our purposes as sharply as some of you have done? Our purpose changes as we live, and it is never only one thing. It is a constant muddling of various things.

Good to here that Neb. Hey I used to feel the same way you know. Things didn't look like they were going to get better any time soon. Well thank goodness things are starting to change eh?

I don't think it's possible to have only *one* purpose. You just shouldn't have some that are in opposition to each other. And yes it is possible for you to know what your purpose is. More so than anything else it's your decision. *You* choose what *you* live for you know? [img]smile.gif[/img]

You're damn right. Sides, sometimes I really did feel like strangling you. ;)

the new JR Jansen 05-14-2002 05:15 PM

Sorry, but i've been around for almost a year now and Waverider is also from Belgium. He isn't in here a lot though. Anyway; i had to slightly alter my login due to some unforseen computer problems.

Silver Cheetah 05-14-2002 05:38 PM

My purpose, broadly speaking, is the realisation and communication of joy.

Except when I'm engaged in political discussion with moderate to extreme right wingers, when my purpose is to annoy.. um, I mean inform. [img]smile.gif[/img]
