I am of the opinion that Purpose is what is beyond desire. that is to say that Desire is what one wants, thinks one wants, or thinks one needs. also in the context of this discussion I am not referring to purpose merely as what one is doing in the moment but rather ones purpose in life as one sees it. For example after much thought, investigation, self examination, and inwardly directed discussion I have determined that my purpose in life is to pursue knowledge and use that knowledge as well as any skills I gain along the way to help better the lot of those less fortunate than myself. I do this through a ceaseless devotion to humanitarianism and volunteerism with the goal of making myself as useful as possible to the public and thus to live a life devoted to the common and greater good instead to materialistic self betterment for its own sake. That is but one purpose but nonetheless is the purpose I've devoted much of my life to and will continue to do so as long as circumstances allow me to.
