Purpose


Location: Civic Centre Park, which is at the corner of Margaret and Queen in Kitchener

Description: White text on a red background with a capital Y in the centre and a half a capital O on the right.

Story: "We have time for one more question before Mr. Dunham has to leave. In the middle there."

"Could you quickly summarize everything into a small package? I've learnt a lot and I want to be able to tell some friends about your ideas."

Mr. Dunham said "Why." He paused and let the word hang there for a moment before continuing. "The most important thing in all of this is remembering why.Why did we do those things, why do we like the colour blue, why do we want to get a pilot's license? Don't just scratch the surface either, but try to fully understand your reasons. What caused you to want to do those things?

"The more reasons you have to do something, the more you'll want to do it. You'll also find that some things you do have no reason, or very little, and other desires can be replaced with newer ones that are more meaningful to you. You'll start to make sense of the world and who you are. Keep asking why and ask it again and again until you truly know the answers."

He paused again. "Why." Then he bowed. "Thank you all, you've been wonderful. Good night!"
