Intentional: A Word Without Meaning

April 4th, 2024 · No Comments

To be intentional is to do something that you intended to do. I guess that is better than doing something accidentally or unintentionally. Yet, it has no meaning.

To be intentional is to do something that you intended to do. It is to do something on purpose.

Eating is intentional. I eat because I want to eat; I intend to eat, and I eat on purpose. I am an intentional eater.

Working for a paycheck is intentional. I want a paycheck, so I work. I work on purpose with a goal in mind—a paycheck. I am an intentional worker.

Watching TV is intentional. I watch TV on purpose. I want to watch TV. I am an intentional TV watcher.

All these any many other actions are intentional. I guess I can find something I do that I do not do on purpose.

Hmm, give me some more time. My searching for an unintentional task is quite intentional.

Did I waste enough words intentionally?
