Interesting, I think it is more of a purpose without purpose
When I read through her story, I feel that she acts more on impulse rather than purpose. Maybe, many years later, she will think, this is why, and make some meaning out it, whether it is to find a suitable hu*****and or to know oneself. To an individual, it is personal choice, a freedom that we should respect. However, if the majority of the generation has this kind of attitude toward life and society, it is certainly intriguing. As you said, the majority of people in a society has value and goals, they are the foundation of the society. There are also some minorities in a society, which are called "free souls". I just hope that the meaning everyone searches is associated with a nobel cause.
