A. I don't know myself, but I suggest you ask an artist, or art historian. There are books on historical symbolism in art. A search engine query might be quite difficult. The meanings are sometimes quite uniform, and in other cases quite diverse. For example, white can represent purity and celebration in weddings, or high social class in previous cultures when keeping something white or to be able to afford to replace it if it was soiled, or mourning in oriental culture. From your question, it sounds like you might know all this, so I'm sorry if you're well above my response.

How do I find meaning and purpose?
Q. I've had a few ideas for vocations but they never escaped the realm of fantasy mostly because of poor choices I've made in my life. I thought I might want to be in law enforcement but I smoked too much marijuana in my youth to ever be qualified. I thought about being a physician but my college GPA is terrible and I don't have good study skills. I want to leave this Earth a better place than when I got here...I want to find what my life's work is supposed to be. And here I am, reduced to asking strangers on the internet what I should do. But we are all comrades, all contemporaries on this planet. In a hundred years, all or most of us will be gone so we are in this world together, we share a common experience and I want to hear what you all… [cont.]

A. Not sure what my life's work is. I am 62 and still trying to define it. I work and get paid as an accountant. But is that my life's work. Some is with my kids. Some is with my dealings with others. It took a long time for me to decide what was my life work. There are a lot of things that you can do to find satisfaction. To pick one for you is difficult at best. But helping others is a quick fix. if nothing else, work with the poor. If you can get into an associate degree as a nurse's aid or technician. Work at a soup kitchen. Help with the mentally or physically handicapped. My wife works with Children at the library. I think that the people that make the biggest difference in life and find the sweetest purpose in life help others. … [cont.]
