There is a difference between having a purpose and acting out of purposelessness.

Acting out of purposelessness is an act of spontaneity. Behavior that isn’t goal-directed is often seen as genuine. We’ve all seen that little boy who acts funny without the goal of being funny. When he finds out that people are laughing about his behavior, he repeats it. But now it’s considerably less funny because it’s not spontaneous anymore. It’s goal-oriented. The kid’s goal is to get attention.

An act of out of purposelessness is quite unique and possesses a magic of its own. It’s novel, unpredictable, and coming from a place of uncalculated spontaneity. There’s no anticipation for a reward, validation or to impress anybody. It’s a form of doing which comes from the innate drive of pure pointlessness.

This video explores purposelessness. Does life have meaning?
