Theists and individual purpose for existence.
September 4, 2010 at 11:46 pm (This post was last modified: September 4, 2010 at 11:46 pm by TruthWorthy.)
During a discussion I was having regarding my having autism my friend (who normally doesn't talk about god) mentions how it has come about through God and is relevant to my purpose for being here. I got to thinking about individual calling, that is what suits a person vs. what betters society (not god's intervention, I disregarded that). As I have autism social obligation is something of a blind spot to me.

So I'm questioning whether anything which satisfies personal desires/dreams is the equivalent, in this context, to utilizing one's abilities to the fullest.
