Purpose of Self

What does it take to realize one's self purpose? Is it failure, or intrigue, or maybe it is the last time we put ourselves through such horrendous self-denial that we finally understand that our conceptions about everything concerning ourselves is wrong and illicit. Whatever the reason may be -- when we find or loose god, or proclaim ourselves as gods, for example -- it can assuredly be said that normative self purpose is the conceptualization that we the people are here to live as well as we reasonably can, and contribute to posterity before posterity begins to grow off of our vapid, decomposing remnants.

I don't want to be just a decomposing remnant for the grass to grow atop of. I want to be the decomposing remnant that started a new genetic breed of grass that is more green than that before it in the hopes that, stemming from my lifeblood, can those left behind who can do the same. I want to be the contributor to future greatness, but this can only be achieved by always being intrepid and never being insipid. Finding the balance between the two will not only define you as yourself, but give you something to live for more than any afterlife can offer.

As humans, we go through severe states of all emotions and apply them as we see accordingly to the situation we are in. However, this is weakness. The purpose of self is to resolutely dictate emotions to manipulate situations in a way that are amenable to all players, even those who are scorned by and outraged at the consequence.
