Knowing This To Be True

To meet is with a purpose.
To have a purpose is to reach a result.
And we all hope that the result is not without accomplishment.
To reach, complete and fulfil the ultimate goal of our hearts desire.
How selfish our hearts are.
We selfishly desire for love.
Some selfishly desire for acceptance. Some selfishly desire for spotlight. Some selfishly desire for beauty.
Some selfishly desire for change.
Some selfishly desire for no change at all.
And some selfishly desire to be the sole thing someone out there is proud of.
The person where they find the most joy.
And in that I selfishly indulge in.
We all wish to know the true meaning in life
and for our life to have true meaning.
