People need a reason to get out of bed every morning and this need can be satisfied through a professional career, hobbies, casual acts, or a relationship. The way to think about this is: if I were to randomly disappear today, at this very moment, whose lives would it radically change? If I had to answer this question, the list would be pretty short, but if a professor, like Professor Dave Rogers of Widener University, were to disappear, it would affect his significant other, his children, his students, and probably many others. The more people depend on the individual, the more usefulness or purpose they have. I may not have much use/purpose compared to Professor Rogers, but by attending college and striving for a degree where I will get a job that will depend on my work and efficiency. For now, this is enough to satisfy the need for purpose. Purpose is an important aspect of achieving the “good life,” but life is also about having fun
