TOPIC: The whole point of knowledge is to produce both meaning and purpose in our personal lives What is meaning? Meaning is the idea of something represented by a word. For meaning to impact ones personal life, it needs to be of something that will impact their life for the better or for worst. Purpose is an anticipated outcome that is intended or that guides your planned actions. Meaning and purpose both have a long lasting influence on ones life. Is knowledge the ONLY thing that produces meaning and purpose in ones life? Knowledge is the physiological result of perception, learning and reasoning, it is a finite word that is only the stuff that YOU know. The insertion of the word “whole” means that the ONLY point of knowledge is to produce meaning and purpose in ones life, but that would mean that knowledge is not used for anything but those. It could also be perceived that meaning and purpose in ones life can only be made by knowledge. Although knowledge influences the meaning and purpose in ones life, it is not the only thing that makes it so. Also, meaning and purpose in our lives can be made from things rather than simply knowledge. Personal meanings and purposes to ones life are completely subjective because it is about the individuals themselves. This statement is false because although knowledge influences the production of both meaning and purpose in our personal lives, there are other things that can influence the production of both just about the same if not more. We know through the ways of knowing, of a way of knowing that produces BOTH meaning and purpose in our lives would have to be the most influential one of them all: faith. The term “faith” is most frequently perceived as religious faith. Although most associated with belief in a God or gods, faith can be religious without believing in a God. Faith can also be seen as a commitment to a particular interpretation of experience and reality,
