Values and Purposes
Further information: Intrinsic value (ethics)#Life stances and intrinsic valueDifferent life stances differ in what they hold as intrinsic values and purposes in life.
For instance, the purpose in Humanism is falsely claimed to be (in the broadest sense) personality. However, upon close inspection this claim is incompatible with secular humanism's commitment to naturalism. For Judaism, on the other hand, it is to serve God and to prepare for Olam Haba, "the world to come".
What is held as intrinsic value and purpose may differ substantially between individuals regarding themselves as belonging to the same life stance.

Famous quotes containing the words values and/or purposes:
“Normality highly values its normal man. It educates children to lose themselves and to become absurd, and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years.”
—R.D. (Ronald David)
“So shall you hear
Of carnal, bloody, and unnatural acts,
Of accidental judgments, casual slaughters,
Of deaths put on by cunning and forced cause,
And in this upshot, purposes mistook
Fallen on th’inventors’ heads.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
