What are your Goals?

[Nakosis]

What are your personal goals?
If reference to,
Morals

Which would then also be an indicator to your morals.

My goals, I'll try to list them in order of importance.

1. Make sure my family is provided for.
2. Support my family's happiness.
3. Personal survival.
4. Personal happiness, which largely has a lot to do with the first three goals.

Beyond this there are temporary goals, usually which I set for myself on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.
Like doing my laundry. Paying the bills. Earning approximately $100 each day in the stock market. Exercise daily.

My "good" actions support these goals. My bad actions obstruct these goals.

My goal is to become dictator of the world. My morality is what keeps me from pursuing that goal.

My goal is to become dictator of the world. My morality is what keeps me from pursuing that goal.

Why?

 

[Exaltist Ethan]

1. To create God.
2. See goal 1.

I have my own way of creating God, that is elaborate but thankfully we are all in the process of doing this.

 

[Heyo]

Why?

To set up an argument.

I haven't decided yet how to respond to your "Morals" OP, so I posted a few tokens that will, hopefully, make you think while buying me time to formulate my thesis.

I am George, Keeper of Chaos.

Other than that, I don't think much on goals. Just keep the chaos reigned in to the best of my ability, and call the rest good...

 

[ChristineM]

My goals are to ensure my children are comfortable
And
Live long enough to see them fledge the nest.

Other than that this is pretty much it.

 

[Hermit Philosopher]

To live as attentively as possible
To live as humbly as possible
To live as selflessly as possible

Why?
Because it increases inner peace, peace in those whom I encounter and harmony amongst us.
And also because I can.


Humbly,
Hermit

What are your personal goals?

This question is much different in retirement than earlier in life, when my goal was to grow (education, travel, music) and to work toward a safe, happy, comfortable, healthy, leisure-filled, satisfying retirement filled with love and beauty, free of guilt, shame, regret, insecurity, loneliness, and anxiety.

Presently, my goal is to rebuild my social structure, which took a hit with the pandemic. This means finding new ways to meet people. Today, I will attending Urban Sketchers for the first time. We wander the streets sketching then painting street scenes:

Well, my argument would be you might make a good dictator. You would have the power to save the world from climate change, end all wars, stop them there cheating politicians.

I think I'd make a good dictator because I'm too lazy to exert my power other than keeping others from exerting theirs.

I would like to buy an affordable house in the UK. I would also like to eat Mount Everest with a plastic spork. I've yet to decide which goal is more realistic.

 

[Ella S.]

1. Remain in a calm state of dispassion
2. Use this sound mind to make the choices that, through logical analysis, are most likely to lead to the outcome with the maximum utility.

I have shifted on how I precisely define "utility." Is it happiness or preference or health? Does maximizing it mean maximizing the total value or maximizing the average value?

In daily life, even in many scenarios where a difficult choice needs to be made, these often seem to be fairly interchangeable from my perspective since they tend to prescribe the same actions. They mostly disagree in fringe situations that I haven't found myself in.

The spork scenario, of course.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

The most difficult goal of all: Finding a girlfriend

On top of that I want to build a compendium of different deities, concepts, and other mythological things that I find interesting.

 

[Viker]

To crush my enemies, to see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

 

[ADigitalArtist]

Where I think the concept of goals and morals meet for me is that value and personhood has nothing to do with productivity. You don't lose value by not completing goals. Especially as relating to capitalism, religious, and even social or family expectations.

Which isn't to say goals aren't helpful, but that we can be overinvested in what relative success or failure can mean for our worth as individuals.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

I wanted to expand. There's a few things I want to be doing:

1) I definitely want to get back into writing my book. I've stopped midway through it and it's been tough getting back into it. I'll likely have to go back to the beginning and reread a lot of chapters (again...) My personal writing goal is to at least finish a chapter a week.

2) Relationships. I'm a late bloomer, and all of my life I've never really tried dating or sex. I feel like I've wasted my life and had many missed opportunities. And though I was never bothered before by being single, it's been starting to get to me. If you've seen my other thread, you'd have heard that I've been active in this. I've been going out to cafes with the intention of trying to start small talk with someone I find attractive, or perhaps with anyone else I cross paths with. I've also been active on dating apps. Other than going out once a week, and going through all of my Right Swipes daily, there's not much else I can do so this is more of a side quest.

3) Building a compendium of mythological devices and deities that I find interesting and/or useful for my magical practice. This includes reading online articles about mythology and gathering the information from it into my compendium. A lot of research here.

4) I wanted to start reading the Bhagavad Gita but... I suppose reading a book on top of an article would just be unneeded weight. This is probably why I have such a hard time reading books - because I read a lot of articles online about things, or forum posts. I feel like both are equally as good for the mind, though, so I needn't worry.

to anihilate lucifer, satan, the devil caligastia and all of the fallen angels... (they all are anti-ethical etc...)

Make it to retirement and die. Whatever order life chooses me to go.
