Purpose or No purpose

No purpose is different than purposelessness.
Acting with no purpose is living in the moment.
Practice without purpose is pure practice.
Purpose presumes outcome.

The Flag

"It has become so to-day that when you see the flag boldly and proudly displayed you smell a rat somewhere. The flag has become a cloak to hide iniquity. We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it it means danger, revolution, anarchy. "

The Air-Conditioned Nightmare, Henry Miller, New Directions Publishing Corp, http://www.ndpublishing.com/home.html
1945, p. 37.
Written during a 1941 cross-country road trip of the United States of America by author and artist Henry Miller.
