RE: Memoir Monday #47 (1/27-2/2) - If you had to summarize your purpose in life in one sentence, what would it be and why?

I see it differently. I believe there’s a universal layer of “better” that most humans instinctively recognize—a kind of moral or ethical baseline that transcends cultural differences. When we act against this intuitive understanding, we tend to suffer in some way, whether emotionally, mentally, or even physically, even if that suffering manifests subconsciously. The exception might be individuals with deep sociopathic tendencies or those profoundly shaped by trauma. Embracing this universal sense of “better” doesn’t inherently make us more vulnerable to being “dominated.” On the contrary, it often fosters resilience and authenticity, which can be powerful in their own right.
