Very compelling post. I believe that life's purpose is only defined, not through other people's perspectives, but through our own. We share thoughts and ideals through social heredity from childhood. Ideals and believes are exchanged and put into practice. Sometimes violence is all a child knows in places like Syria or the Congo in Africa. Not everything is gloom and doom. I would like to think that people learn from each other's actions as a personal reflection upon themselves. If that even makes sense. lol
