Purpose

To me, purpose means having a drive to do something or something that is important. Something may have purpose in your life, or be purposeful to you.

Two words that I came across are apostate and martyr. These were both in my history class. We are learning about the Christian missionaries that came to Japan trying to convert the Buddhists to Christianity. Apostate means to renounce your faith. Martyr means someone who died for their religion. Christian missionaries were being killed as martyrs, so the Japanese tortured them and made them apostates so they died an uncelebrated death.
