i like trying to present information to people that they hadn't thought of in ways that force them to question basic assumptions.

i think this is why i went into teaching, and specifically english.

i realized pretty early on that the rules that govern society are mostly arbitrary. 

i may not be able to fix what's wrong with society, but at least i can wake people up to the idea that things don't have to be the way they are. 

also tacos.

I don't know man, maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about, but I'd think teaching subjects like philosophy, history, government, political science, anthropology, etc would better serve those goals than teaching English.

Honestly, I started in history. I found I was more able to broach philosophical topics within the context of English, but I could also use practical skills like writing as a hook. Philosophy might have been the best fit for me personally, but the type of person who would sign up for a philosophy class wouldn’t really need what I was selling. Everyone has to take English.

i feel like im in limbo between what i can figure out about the possibilities of life and what i am capable of,

and im satisfied knowing its at least important enough to consider on one level. 

also, that this question is in my life helps me imagine it, because i am met with all i need to survive right now without success

i think purpose comes with satisfaction.  if you are capable and want to do it and have success or gain in it, its purpose enough to live for.

Occupy space in our tenuous understanding of this concept called the spacetime continuum.

In other words, bore people with pseudophilosophy.
