What Does Purpose Mean? It Means The Deepest Desire For Our Short Lives To Mean Something. . . . To Speak A Language Of Purpose Is To Return To First Principles And To Be Able To Answer, In Plain English, The Plain Questions Of Why? Why Should We Chip In To Help Someone Else? Why Should We Defer Gratification? Why Should We Care About The Long Term? Why Should We Trust Anyone Who Seems To Be Limiting Our Ability To Do What We Want?

What We Should Celebrate More Than Diversity Is What We Do With It. How Do We Bring Everyone In The Tent And Create Something Together? In A Twenty-first Century Way That Activates Our True Potential, We All Need To Become Sworn-again.

Honest People Know That The Road To Success And Virtue Always Involves Shared Sacrifice, Hard Work, And Gratification Postponed. Telling People Otherwise Isn't Leadership, It Is Pandering.

As It Stands Now, Those Of Us Who Are Lucky Enough To Be Citizens By Birth Don't Have To Do Much. Very Little Is Asked Of Us.

Our Commitment Should Be To Leave Our Environment In Better Shape Than When We Found It, Our Nation's Fiscal House In Better Order, Our Public Infrastructure In Better Repair, And Our People Better Educated And Healthier. To Indulge In Immediate Gratification And Exploitation Is An Insult To Previous Generations, Who Sacrificed For Us, And Thievery From The Next Generation, Who Depend On Our Virtue.
