What's your meaning of life in as few words as you can write.

To enjoy the journey as much as possible. To be the best version of yourself no matter what that is. If you are a criminal, be the best criminal in the field.

Safety and fulfilment.

I am going to assume you know the quote so really it's obvious that I really want peace and for everyone else to die in the war I start so I can rule over who is left with an iron fist while I live in luxury. And steel. And to avenge my mother on someone who sounds suspiciously like Darth Vader.

Is that too much to ask?
