Throughout history, people have sought to understand the purpose of life. Different cultures, philosophies, religions, and individuals offer different answers. The Human Constitution does not prescribe a single purpose but recognizes every person's right to explore this question for themselves. Through Istima, many people discover that purpose is not always something found once and for all, but something that evolves through learning, relationships, contribution, responsibility, and experience. The question itself may be as important as the answer.
