Purpose

Paradoxical as it may seem,
the purposeful life has no content, no point.
It hurries on and on, and misses everything.

Not hurrying, the purposeless life misses nothing,
for it is only when there is no goal and no rush
that the human senses are fully open to receive the world.

Alan Watts, The Way of Zen
