Simplified meaning
When people don't have a goal or direction in life, it's similar to a boat without a way to steer. Just like a ship without a rudder drifts aimlessly in the ocean, a person without a purpose can feel lost and unsure of where they are going. For example, think about a student finishing school without any idea of what to do next. Without a clear aim, they might wander from one job to another without finding satisfaction. They may end up feeling restless and unfulfilled because they lack a guiding objective. Having a purpose helps us make choices and stay focused, leading us to achieve goals and feel more in control of our lives. Just like a rudder keeps a ship on course, a purpose keeps a person moving in the right direction.
