The purpose of life is to live.
My purpose in life is varied and technical and super-great.
I don't have one. I just do what I can to be a good person and that's it. And I'm ok with it.
To enjoy myself. What exactly that means, changes over time.
I have lots and lots and lots of dreams.. And lots of issues
I try to follow a set of rules which define how i should live my life written in my own words, which essentially restate the golden rule/10 commandments/fundamental tenets/etc. I read them as myself, as if I'm giving advice to myself. Pronouns can be tricky. I don't follow them perfectly and often will tweak the wording, hoping to avoid misinterpretation.
I call them my veritaclaritives. (veritas + clarus = loud and clear truth; probably bad latin)

Always look out for #1
-
Always be prepared for a #2 (e.g. romance, friendships, shit)
-
Only desire what you require
-
It's only theft if they need it more than you (emphasis on NEED)
-
Create more than you consume
-
Help people up, more and before you put anyone down
-
Treat everyone as a friend until they prove otherwise (emphasis on both THEY and PROVE; the golden rule)
-
Make amends with your friends, before an unexpected end (r.i.p. Nivec)
-
Keep your friends close, be your own worst enemy
-
If thoughts of any enemy anger you, you've already lost (note plural)
-
Destroy enemies until they are unable to do you harm
-
All enemies can be defeated through unconditional love.

Spite a bunch of fuckheads and make some cool software whilst not forgetting to have fun along the way.
Find out who I really am
The Great Work. Hermetic kabbalah makes sense (psychology cloaked as religion, since humans are adverse we may be a little messed up and inner work is the only way through, and out). I'm just now scratching the surface but I'm digging it.
Pretending that working my ass off to make a ton of money (not for the sake of it, but because I donβt want to work my entire life) will eventually pay off.
To be exploited in every way possible.
To be happy and enjoy things, and to make others happy in return! β€οΈπ
...to do my best, to do my duty to God and my country, to be square, and to obey the law of the pack.
