"Lightning tears temple asunder.
Divine wrath, or natural disaster?"
While meaning and purpose might not be mutually exclusive, I am learning that there is an important distinction to be made between the two. In purpose, I can be self-directed/self-directing and discerning; in meaning, I seem to discover something outside. Therefore, it also seems important not to ascribe a meaning that may short-circuit or undermine the purpose I discern. I just might be on the brink of putting a lifetime of self-defeating thoughts and behaviors behind me for good. I truly praise and thank God for this insight.
