Interpretation: It's Something That Is An End To Itself

Tweet

Guys, Guten Tag. I recently read about a very tastful sentence to share with you, a kind of food for thought for everyone of us. The sentence goes with " It's something that is an end to itself". Intially dosplaying it alone on the paper really makes me confused without context. Two words SOMETHING and AN END are hard for me to figure out. But don't worry that an instance will be given below: A teacher gave out a reason that she enjoy the job with modest payment though she could earn more doing other jobs. So i just understand the sentence by a little bit that the SOMETHING may stand for the job that you are crazy for or something you want to devote yourself to and AN END can be paraphrased as enjoyment or happiness. So my idea is that happiness is the ultimate goal in our life. If that is the end, we just let go other trivials out of your mind, such as fortune, rights, fame or other temptations. Guys have you got the same interpretation as mine? Welcome your sharing.Lol
