    Being a “lower purpose” (at least to me) sounds like something that would make you a worse person, so the answer checks out?

      I think that’s how he intends it. But a “higher purpose” is usually related to belief in something beyond your short life. Whether it’s leaving a lasting impact on the world after you are gone; or connecting to some spiritual purpose that extends beyond your life.

      To me I’d say my “lower purpose” just sounds like something I need to get out of bed in the morning. Like, making coffee or something.
