That purpose is different for each person. We must seek God in order to find that purpose. How should one act in the world once one realizes this meaning? Once you have determined

ways. When I think of the statement I think of what I know to be true and how others may perceive the same information. I feel that there is no ultimate explanation for why things are the ways that they are. There are so many changes in the world from information to technology, to the way people behave to the way people cope with life in general.

I like the idea that the meaning of life should be based on peak experiences and living in the moment. There are too many people that regret what they should have done or wish they could have done while still living. You should live life according to your own happiness.

Critical thinking requires that we step back from our preconceptions, associations and dogmas to make decisions based on information as true and devoid of bias as we obtain.

We may be driven by all of those and still make a correct or incorrect critical thinking error. The desire for self-preservation is egocentric, but essential. By extension
