What is purpose? If it is what we are told then I feel everyone has a purpose. For some it may just be simply helping other to achieve their purpose, but some have bigger meanings, bigger purposes. I will not pretend to know my own destiny, not yet, but I do think I am meant for a bigger destiny.
I don't believe in fate, to do so is to believe you cannot make your own choices and that is something I will never do. I believe my decisions will have consequences, however if I choose a different decision I will have a different outcome, a different consequence. But there are those among us who do believe in fate and that is their own choice. It would seem the only thing that is certain in life is death.
I do not fear death, I used to, but now I see it is just something that we all must do.
However I will not lie and say my life is without fear, we are all human and therefore I feel fear is just one of those things that make us what we are, as is the ability to lie. To lie is to deny someone of the truth; such an action can be the result of a lack of trust, but yet, is there need to lie to someone whom would not be better from simply knowing the truth. I know from experience that those who have lied to me have been worse off because of it, whereas had persons in question simply been honest I may have initially been hurt, but overall would have respected them for trusting me with the truth. And yet, they say their reason for lying was to save me from harm, another of those things that make us who we are - caring.
Why do we care for people? Some people say the reason we care for others is because we need to, so we can keep our faith. Without faith we are nothing, without faith how can we survive? But is it not possible to survive without faith? Is it not possible to survive without love, or are love and faith the same? Perhaps not in every context but love does fuel faith, love drives us to do things we would not normally do, it gives us the strength and courage to do things other people find stupid, but would they not do the same were they in the same situation. No one can tell you when you're in love, if you're in love then you can tell. It cannot be forced; it cannot be snatched away so suddenly, it is just there.

目标是什么？
何为目标？如果它是我们通常所指的话，那么我认为我们每个人都有一个目标。对于有些人来说，他们仅仅是想帮助他人实现他们的目标，但对于有些人，他们有着更深刻，远大的目标。我并不想说我知晓自己的命运，现在还不知道，但，我确信我会有更远大的人生旅程。
我不相信命中注定，因为，相信命运就意味着你不能做自己的选择，而我永远都不想那样。我相信我的决定自会有其结果，然而，如果我做出了一个不同的决定，我也会相应地有一个截然不同的结果。但在我们之中，有一些相信命运的人，这，也是他们自己的选择。对这些人来说，似乎生命中唯一确定的就是死亡了。
我不害怕死亡，尽管我曾经害怕过，但现在，我知道这是我们所有人都必须经历的。
然而，我不会谎称我的生命里没有害怕，我们都是人，因此我认为害怕仅仅是人的天性之一，就如撒谎一样。撒谎是对真相的否认；这种行为可能导致信用的丧失，可是，对一个即便知道了真相也未必能改善状况的人来说，有撒谎的必要吗？根据我的经验，那些对我撒过谎的人自己也会因此不好受，然而，如果人们在一些问题上不能够诚实，我也许起初会感到受伤害，但总的来说，我还是会尊重他们的，如果他们因出自对我的信任告诉我真相的话。然而，他们说他们撒谎是为了让我不受伤害，另一个我们的天性－在乎。
为何我们会在乎他人？有些人说我们在乎他人是因为我们需要这样做，以此来维持我们的信仰。没有信仰我们什么都不是，没有信仰我们如何生存？但是，拥有信仰就能生存了吗？有了爱就能够生存了吗？爱与信仰是相同的吗？也许不是在每种情况下都成立，但是爱确实能激发人的信念，爱会驱使我们做一些平时我们不会去做的事情，它给予我们力量和勇气去做那些他人认为可笑的事，但那些认为这些事可笑的人会不会在遇到爱时也做出同样的傻事呢。没人能告诉你你是否恋爱了，当你坠入了爱河，你自然能够知道，真爱是无法强加于人的，真爱是不会突然地被掠夺走的，真爱就在那不远处。
