My purpose is to suffer for others. Great.
Edit: I decided this wasn’t the right place for this joke. Have a nice day.
I also have someone in my life who thrives on my misery
Exactly. Your tears give me sustenance.
Your username is sad I hope you’re ok

This is sweet 🥹
We make our purpose.
You are (presumably) a human.
Without you, the world is merely a collection of things, with no collector.
A hammer has a purpose, when it is used (by a human) to drive nails.
A keyboard has a purpose, when it is used (by a human) to type.
A shovel has a purpose, when it is used (by a human) to plant a tree.
Without the human these things cannot be used, and do not have purpose.
You are not a thing. You do not have a purpose.
You are that which gives purpose.
You are purpose.
too anthropocentric
So is the question, “what is my purpose”?
The response is human-focused because the question is human-focused.
If you wanted to ask the question about some other creature, then the answer would not be anthropocentric.
Monkeys have also been observed to use tools, and the majority of nonhuman things in the world (nonhuman animals, plants, rocks, stars) are not tools.
OK, what do monkeys or other non-human things have to do with a human asking themselves the question, “what is my purpose?”
My response is given in the context of the original, not in a vacuum.
It’s nice to think that sometimes our pain leads to something positive 😢
