Meaning excerpt

Expedient experiences come about by following blind impulse. Meaning follows from its more mature counterpart; intention. Meaning emerges when impulses are regulated, organized, and unified. From the interplay of the possibilities of the world, and the value structure operating within that world.

Taken from the book 12 Rules for Life:

More powerful than mere words can express. Spanning the entire breadth of human emotion, from despair to exhilaration. Meaning is what manifests itself when the many levels of arranging themselves into a perfect functioning harmony. Such that past present and future are at once redeemed and reconciled.
