 Lifes purpose
I think this changes as you grow, learn, experience new things, etc. I have served my country (USN), served the public (firefighter/Paramedic), and work at saving and improving peoples health (organ and tissue donation). These have all been stepping stones, jobs (not careers), learning experiences, etc. I know I have helped many people in the various jobs, but I can't say any of them has been my "purpose" in life. Ultimately they were/are just jobs to make money to pay the bills, although I did/do get satisfaction that they all contributed in some positive way to society and people (the military the least, since the main role of military is war and destruction......I have only changed to this reasoning in the last few years as I've seen the true nature and impact of what any countries military is. No good comes from war....it is purely the result of the egos, narrow mindedness, whatever of a few very powerful figures intent on domination.....yes, I do believe in the NWO and many conspiracy theories :-)
With that said, and from all I have learned and experienced as I age, I would have to say that at this moment my "purpose" in life is the protection, guidence, and love of my family. Money is truely just paper and only a means to an end. As long as we are happy, safe, healthy and comfortable, I don't need more than that.
Like they say, absolute power and money both corrupt ones soul!
