What is Purpose of Life?
The discussion of life’s purpose is approached from a variety of perspectives. In Yasukazu Nishio’s Scrapbox, there are various pages related to this topic. For example:.
-
Give a reason shows the perspective of delivering a reason (the purpose of life) to the “future self”. By viewing the purpose of life as a letter to one’s own future self, that purpose may become clearer.
-
Anomic Suicide points out that a lack of purpose in life leads to a state of personal confusion, loss of direction, and inability to find clear guidelines for behavior and purpose. The importance of finding purpose is emphasized.
-
NANRUJI MITSURI describes how a woman who was troubled by her abnormal constitution and was unable to enter into an old-fashioned marriage, obtains a place as a warrior and this becomes her purpose in life. The purpose of life can be a social role or found in the process of self-realization.
-
The Language of GTD and KJ Method Analogy talks about the difficulty of clarifying one’s life purpose, how it can be burdensome at times, but the process of gradually crystallizing one’s purpose through repeated attempts. The purpose of life is not found overnight, but gradually takes shape through daily effort and trial and error.
From these pages we see that the purpose of life is not one with a single answer, but one that is deeply rooted in individual experiences, values, and growth processes. The journey of finding answers within ourselves is often as complex and profound as the search for the external world. I encourage you to carefully nurture the “sprouts” in your heart and explore what life’s purpose is for you.
