Recently, quite by accident, I came upon a definition of the term bottom line that surprised me. Up until now, I’d only heard it as referring to money - the bottom line is profit. Who will make the most money out of this venture? How will it affect the economy? The GNP is the deciding factor because, after all, the bottom line is money. Its meaning and importance are pretty much taken for granted and often stops conversations or inhibits questions about the validity of that meaning.
But here’s a new outlook. I discovered that the term Bottom Line also refers to Essence or Meaning. In other words - that which makes a thing what it is. If you’ve ever asked questions such as - Why am I here? What’s this life all about? Is this all there is? - it would probably seem ludicrous that money would be the answer to any or all of them.
