I find it extraordinary that this purpose which drove how we viewed the world is now considered to be something that has no effect upon us.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think we all want to know that if our lives don't turn out the way we imagine, there's still a purpose.
We hope there is a sense of purpose in everything.
It's not just for its influence on us, but to know that we can play a part in it, to understand the influence that we have outside our own existence.
I do believe very strongly that all of us and all of the other things in the context of our planet with Mother Nature, all of these things absolutely have a profound effect.
I really believe that 'Saw' makes us stop and think and question our motives and what we're doing here on Earth.
Making something and sending it out into the world and then people not only responding to it but adopting it for their own and making a separate thing for it, that's beautiful. It just shows you how much you can affect other people... the butterfly effect of everything you put out into the world.
The idea that everything is purposeful really changes the way you live. To think that everything that you do has a ripple effect, that every word that you speak, every action that you make affects other people and the planet.
If I'm a phenomenon, it makes me feel like I have no purpose.
The world is set up - as foreign as that can be to some people who are very materialistic - but there is a force in this world, once we step into it, that opens doors for us, that gives us a sense of purpose and the greatest life there is, in my view.
Our ability to perceive the world around us seems so effortless that we tend to take it for granted.
