[Hank Kerchief]

Why do you suppose your life has a specific purpose?

I do not suppose it, I know it.

Also, it would be interesting for me, on the outside looking in, to see what you see yours as.

It is the same as the purpose of every human being, or for that matter, every living organism, except that human beings are the only creature who can choose to defy the purpose of thier existense.

The purpose of life, for every living creature, is that creature's enjoyment of their life. The purpose of my life, therefore, is my enjoyment of it.

It is the same as the purpose of every human being, or for that matter, every living organism, except that human beings are the only creature who can choose to defy the purpose of thier existense. The purpose of life, for every living creature, is that creature's enjoyment of their life. The purpose of my life, therefore, is my enjoyment of it.

Well, then it doesn't take any thinking at all, per se, to find out that purpose, does it? But something must modify this, though: morality, right? -- so as to find one's best pleasure? -- instead of the Marquis' pleasure, for instance, or Al Capone's pleasure?

So, morality is in a sense, the exertion of a definitive force upon pleasure, by which we may ascertain what is the noblest and best set of pleasures?

Does the determination of what one enjoys also modify morality?
