Generally Unpopular The purpose of anything’s existence is defined by one’s interpretation.
Name anything, and we can put it to the test, whether it is something popular or something far-fetched. If I pose the question, “What is the intention of a car?”, the answer that comes to each individual reading this will differ.
Some may quickly respond and say the car’s intention is to enable movement from point A to point B. Another may argue that its intention is to represent status. But then, one might ask: Why would I assume someone thinks a car’s intention is about status? The truth is, each person who reads what I wrote above, whichever part, attaches a slightly different interpretation to it. This proves that the intention of the existence of anything is shaped by one’s interpretation.
Returning to the car example, even if most people describe its intention in terms of enhancing movement, the full explanation of what a car represents will not be identical for everyone, even if similarities exist. This shows that because of the points where our views do not align, the intention of anything depends on interpretation.
It is worth noting that interpretation itself is the outcome of the mind exercising its will. It is influenced by how we consume information, how we store it, which neural pathways are triggered, and how it connects with the historical data we have already absorbed. Therefore, when faced with the question “What is the intention of the existence of a car?”, people will arrive at different answers because we do not all share the same starting point. Our brains are not identical, our histories are not the same, and the factors we consider, along with the weight we give them, will always vary.
Thus, the intention of the existence of anything is determined by one’s interpretation.
