PURE AS A DEFINITION OFMEANING IN LIFE
• Meaning in life can be operationally defined in terms of PURE, which stands for:• Purpose
• Understanding
• Responsibility
• Enjoyment
PURPOSE
Involves:• Clarifying our life direction
and core values.• Organizing our activities.• Deliberating your daily
plans.• Pursuing one’s calling and
mission in life with passion and commitment.
UNDERSTANDING
Involves:• Full awareness of the situation and the
consequences of one`s actions.• Knowing right from wrong.• Understanding the legal/ethical principles
in decision making.• Self-knowledge of our strengths and
weaknesses.• Understanding/knowing the world we live
in.• Achieving a sense of coherence.
RESPONSIBILITY
Involves:• Taking full
responsibility of our own life.
• Assuming responsibility for our decisions and actions.
• Holding ourselves accountable.
• Being a moral agent.
ENJOYMENT/EVALUATION
• The natural outcome of leading a purposeful and responsible life.• But a positive outcome is not inevitable.• Sometimes, the personal costs of being
responsible can be too high.• This stage involves reflection and sometimes re-
evaluation of PURE.
ADVANTAGES OF PURE
• Not achieving happiness at the expense of others.
• Developing your full potential without harming others.
• Leading a life that is good emotionally, intellectually, relationally, and morally.
THE PURE TEST
• The PURE test provides an operational definition of meaning in life.• P, U, R, E are interdependent components but
their interdependence is only partial.• Interestingly, it is possible to score high on
PERMA but low on PURE. • The happy rioter vs. the sad hero.
