The word "purpose" generally refers to the reason why something exists or is done, or the intended goal or aim of an action, object, or life itself.
Different contexts of "purpose":
-
In everyday life:
Purpose is the motivation or goal behind what someone does. For example, "The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the project timeline." -
In philosophy:
Purpose can relate to the meaning or reason for existence, often tied to questions about the meaning of life or human existence. -
In design and function:
The purpose of an object or tool is what it is designed to do. For example, "The purpose of a pen is to write." -
In personal development:
Purpose often refers to a person’s sense of direction or mission in life - what drives them, gives them fulfillment, or makes their life meaningful.
