Purpose depends on the person. A person could meditate to get smarter or healthier, to get better at ther job, to get laid, to save all sentient beings. It really is completely arbitrary.
The purpose will change too. Because the way you see will change. Meditation is good for changing the way you see.
Meditation comes with no inherently associated ideas. No purpose or meaning. Like pretty much everything.
It is passive-aggressive testicle-biting bs like this that forms the very backbone of modern social media.
What percentage of the chatters here are bots? Reddit? Facebook?

A sacrifice is something you like and want to keep, but you’re going to give it up for a higher good.
Language is owned by the group.
Individuals don’t dictate to the group.
This individual is asserting a definition of “dipshit” that contradicts the definition held by the group.
Super better. All the important stuff free and top quality. Moonbase.
Not really a sacrifice if it’s something you don’t want
Would you sacrifice your flesh? No more body. Brain slurped out at birth, wired up to the internet.
Would you sacrifice your sex hormones? No more estrogen or testosterone.
That’s pretty abstract. What else have you got?

Hey me too. We’re twins.
