What is your intention?

Asked by hominid (7357points) August 1st, 2014

When you communicate with people in the real world or here on fluther, what is your intention? If you ask yourself recursive “why” questions and catch a glimpse at your deepest intention(s), is it reflected in your speech or writings here?

Honorable, and to spend time with people. Maybe make friends in real life.

My “intention” differs with every interaction, whether here or there or the other place. Sometimes my intention is to impart information, sometimes to acquire knowledge or insight, perhaps to comfort or reprimand, perhaps to amuse.

I suppose my ultimate “intention” is to communicate with the other beings who share this small piece of the time-space continuum. Connection and understanding. Fairly simple on its face.

I have a really sarcastic answer, but it will offend most everyone, so l’ll keep it to myself.

@Adirondackwannabe I have to wonder what your intention is when you leave answers like that.

I don’t know what my intention was either. I sometimes get impulses, but I’ve learned to behave and suppress them.

To be understood.

My intention here and in real life is to be honest and transparent. I may crack wise, I might occasionally joke around, but I am being myself, not some facade.

It’s actually something I like about Fluther – I can be myself without having to worry about being judged for anything more than my opinion. I can let my hair down.

There is no intent, stuff just happens, some people think way too much.

Pretty much what @ucme said. I’m just here to fuck about, I have no intent. What am I, some kinda villain? I have fun, learn a lot of things and I’ve made some friends, as it happens.

If I knew what recursive “why” questions were, emight know whether I ask myself them.

@gailcalled Ever look up “recursion” on Google? It’s good for a laugh.
