RSSHope & Purpose
Feb 25
History is a passion of mine, and characters from the ages, players of roles cast by fate, and the dictates of time and place. Many merely running on hope.
And in that hope a singular most dominant, salient idea, the lynch pin of hope–purpose–that sometimes elusive element of humans that has driven, or lack there of, brought greatness, redemption, failure or demise.
I am amazed at the result of a clearly defined and stated purpose from Alexander the Great to Mary, Queen of Scots, Frederick the Great, Abe Lincoln, General Eisenhower; and these are just a minute few to the many unnamed, dotted across the centuries and beyond.
I believe it was Einstein who stated that man ceases to exist without purpose and might as well lie down and die.
I have lived without purpose for five years, or so it would seem on that July 5th. Purpose, if ever I possessed it, I thought it was gone. Upon reflection, how is it I have survived, or better yet, had the desire to survive to awake to another day, to arise, to breathe in–breathe out, take one step after another?
Is it found in iambic–the verse of gifted word-smith’s–love? That’s the great underpinning of Hope and Purpose isn’t it?
For me, it has been that beacon of light in a most terrible sea, that lone piece of driftwood I desperately cling to, even at this penning, to survive: My family, those cast in roles in my place and time. So I breathe in, breathe out, one step at a time, one day at a time, sustained by love.
By this emotion I am allowed a lease on life until my purpose is revealed. As I exist in my confined enclosure, I search to be able to hold purpose as my own and convey that to others.

I love your writing. It is straight-forward and simple yet full of romance that I feel like I’m reading a work of a poet. I can’t wait to read more of your posts on your blog.

I think that it’s very hard to live without purpose. But I think that if we stay busy, doing things its less likely that we start to think about the “real” purpose. At least it is like that for me.

According to me it is never easy to live without hope and purpose.

The ultimate reason for living is for a purpose. Living without a purpose is like breathing without air.

It is useful to try everything in practice anyway and I like that here it’s always possible to find something new.

Life has many things to give and it maybe good or bad. In your journey you’ve showed how tough you are in fighting for your everyday life, an accomplishment that you alone see your purpose in life. Seems you don’t lose hope on dealing with what future’s bring you.

@air soft guns, could not agree more — however we must be able to either find our purpose or know how to search for it live life to the fullest!

Very well done, so shot but very interesting. Especially this “I believe it was Einstein who stated that man ceases to exist without purpose and might as well lie down and die.” Even I was wondering around what are my purpose to the world.
