Finding purpose
Unique perspective on meaning of life
The crux of the advice lays out something like this : Do not pursue a goal, but a way of life.
It is pointless to conform a life to its goal. We would be much better off by conforming our goals such that we can have the way of life of our choosing.
This is a comforting prospect in light of fact that a goal can ask of us unethical, egoistic or malevolent measures to achieve it. On other a way of life would lead us where our natured self is supposed to be at. By essence what a goal is supposed to do for us.
My Takeaway
If I were to follow advice of Mr. Hunter, I would envisage a way of life as such -
- working on meaningful products - making and developing them
- Doing physically exhaustive activity for sake of itself
- convey my thoughts and ideas poetically and have people engage with it.
- Read, Listen from people of contrast background and about colorful subjects.
