From a biological perspective, the purpose of a species is to reproduce and aim for survival of the species. In a modern society this is expressed in a variety of different ways. Largely, employment is focused around service to others in some form. Whether it is providing a service, skill or goods. From a needs perspective, we exist to meet our own needs. See Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

On top of that, we all have free will, unique personalities and preferences. My belief is that who we choose to spend time with shapes who we are as people, as well as our environments.

Personally, I enjoy helping others. I enjoy using my skills at work because it makes me feel useful. Because I have health issues I have an interest in health and fitness. I was very active and grew up in the countryside when I was younger, so I enjoy the outdoors. I love animals because I was raised with them, also they are very pure and joyful. I enjoy learning now that my job as a tutor helped me overcome learning anxiety. Mental health and psychology are important to me because of experiences with trauma. Philosophy has been an interest since childhood because I was often left to the care of the local librarians. Being a child raised in challenging circumstances, I had a lot of questions about the world.
