Maybe not an elaboration, a simplification instead.

"Life is full of purpose and meaning".

Purpose and meaning is elemental to human awareness.

As awareness of life in the Universe is founded upon conscious meaning applied to matter, where the age old natural question also arises… ‘So What?’ What purpose does human consciousness serve, if not to allow human will to liberate self from the grosser endeavors of human existence?

Liberation is not a matter of defeating your opposition; it is a matter of locating common purpose that binds the good in all of us, where opposition is merely a dissenting voice to the truth. (See also: The Great Debators, 2007)

The history of the world is one of liberating human beings from one form of powerful corruption to another: where-in, If you have something to lose, you are not free to choose.

Message 26680464

“I think we should also not school our young people in purposelessness.

So my question is: What will you hold as purpose and meaning when your life is eternal? If you are trying to convert people like a good little Christian--it should be a welcome opportunity to give an honest answer.
