The titled responsion is meant to emphasize the forging of virtue as opposed to the imagination wrongfully interpreted by critics of Plato.

Flickers of Freedom

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.
— Carl Jung (1875-1961)

The titled responsion equates meaning with a freedom of sorts. What gives you freedom, the question tracks with the Socratic question of Justice. Or does it?

The purpose of life is to kindle a light of significance within the human consciousness, which ultimately transforms into a burning fire of meaning. The purpose of life is to learn how to live for love and compassion, and then it is not about money or wealth. The purpose of life is to find the meaning of life in our lives and become loving beings to every person on this planet. The purpose of life is to be an example and not the example of a bad deed.

The sole purpose of human existence is to sort out life and the meaning of life for you. To live a life for love and compassion is to find and create light within you that creates a light of significance within the lightness of your consciousness. To accomplish this, you must work hard to be an example to those around you, especially yourself. The only way you will succeed is by learning to be humble and developing your personality and attitude toward the world. You must realize that you are nothing special and everyone else is just as special and important.

Why does it take so long for people to see the importance of their lives? The reason why we do not question this fact and start living for love and compassion is that we are all so focused on money itself. What I am trying to convey is that life's purpose is to find and create light within you, which ignites a burning flame of significance within your consciousness. It is not only about living a life full of money, it is also about living a life filled with love and compassion. It is about learning to be able to be true to yourself, and it is about learning to respect others.
