<p>Ok, you all know I'm not PC. I want you guys to be the same way in this thread. No long drawn out answers that would make Miss America proud. Let's see some serious answers here. Is your ultimate purpose to be a doctor and heal people? How about start a business and get rich? Maybe your goal in life is to provide successfully for your family. Or maybe a woman who wants to raise children. (And I know some of you exist. Don't be afraid of the hypocritical feminists. I'll defend you in a non-PC method.) Maybe you are a bad person who just wants to get rich any way possible. Whatever. Let's hear it.</p>
<p>Mine personally is probably not the most noble. I really just want to be in some way famous so that my name is known through the ages. Now, I don't want to do it in a Hitler way. I want to be a politician. But yeah my ultimate goal is pretty egotistical. Whatever, I want to be in textbooks in 500 years.</p>
<p>My ultimate purpose is to help other people. That’s what I enjoy doing. I’ll probably end up being a professor or lawyer (prosecution, to be exact), but more likely professor. My family will probably be a big part of who I am too. I really value relationships.</p>
<p>lol I might be a lawyer as well. But how does being a prosecution attorney help other people? lol</p>
<p>I’ll tell you when I figure it out. ;)</p>
<p>I don’t think many people know as of right now.</p>
<p>Be happy.</p>
<p>Have a fulfilling job…only reason I really would want money is to raise a family and to TRAVEL and eat good food, lol…other than that, i dont care about how much i make…i dont need to be super rich.</p>
<p>I actually think it’s one of the most beneficial areas of law. The obvious answer being “it would help society by making our streets safer.” I think it would be really helpful to people though. I would like it because it would be ensuring that justice is done, which is really important to me. It would be work that I really enjoy. It would help victims or the families of victims to have some closure and know that someone was held accountable. I think it would also help some of the criminals themselves get their lives straightened out. I recognize that most will go out and do the same things again, but maybe for some it will make a difference. I think some people just need something major to happen for them think about who they are and who they want to be, and I think paying the price for their actions can really help that. A lot of people that go into lives of crime do so because they never faced any consequences for their actions and never realized what happens when you break rules. </p>
<p>I guess I kind of rambled on and gave you the kind of answer you didn’t want, but there you go. </p>
<p>I agree VERY much with chocobanana. Traveling is something I absolutely love, and I need to make enough to do that</p>
<p>There is no purpose, really.</p>
<p>I have dreams to be a prosecutor as well and in my opinion that is not at all how they operate. </p>
<p>I think they are all about serving as law enforcers for the government in order to gain a reputation. I’ve always considered defense attorneys to be the ones working for the people. IDK. We just have different opinions.</p>
<p>@meadow36…you a nihilist or something?</p>
<p>Intelligent guess. Indeed. Atleast that’s what it all comes down to if you think about it logically.</p>
<p>I think it’s just about what kind of prosecutor you choose to be. I think you’re partially right. I think some just go for a conviction rate, but I don’t want to do that. I want to go to get it right and if it means dropping charges or cutting deals whatever it takes I want to make sure everyone comes out a winner. </p>
<p>I don’t think I could ever be a defense lawyer. I did a thing in the summer where a former defense attorney was one of my professors and I talked to her about it a lot one day. She said she view it as protecting their constitutional rights, which I thought was interesting and something I hadn’t thought about yet. It kind of threw me for a loop because that’s also really important to me. In the end though I couldn’t do that because I wouldn’t be able to defend a guilty person who is choosing to plead not guilty. I would be required to give them my best, and if I actually got an acquittal for them I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. Especially if they went back out and committed another crime. I don’t know…just my two cents.</p>
<p>Nihilism is the stupidest philosophy ever.</p>
<p>Advance the human race. I believe that’s the purpose of every homo sapiens. Most people fulfill it by having children, which is 100% a-okay. As long as I get married, I’ll do that, but I’d like to advance our species in other ways as well. If dreams came true, I’d get to kill aliens, but since they usually don’t, I’ll probably just get to catalogue languages or something.</p>
<p>^^ Interesting. Please qualify that statement with some arguments before you make such blatant accusations. :)</p>
<p>Actually some people could advance the species by not reproducing.</p>
<p>lol @hatersunite. Instituting that would be pretty terrible though.</p>
<p>Umm, at least you should be an existentialist. Basically, I think life does have purpose and does have intrinsic morality.</p>
<p>Apparently, there are many types of nihilism—do you classify yourself as one of them?</p>
<p>My purposive in life is LIVE life…
I’ll try and start by not being on the computer so much…lol
oh and I also wanna be a doctor</p>
<p>The purpose of all living things is to REPRODUCE</p>
<p>My life’s ultimate purpose is to fertilize the ground.</p>
<p>What is one of my selfish desires? To become filthy rich.</p>
