Purpose in life
January 17th, 2009 in Random musings
A friend pointed me to this article which I found interesting. A bit of commentary on finding that elusive ‘meaning’ or ‘purpose’ in life (don’t we all look for it?)

This is probably a long shot, but I’ve run out of sensible ideas. I’m not a pragmatic person by nature. But I’ve been struggling to become one, in hopes of finding some kind of niche in the world. I’ve read all kinds of advice geared toward people like me and tried to follow it. And after about eight years plugging away at this approach, I’m exhausted. It doesn’t seem to have worked.
