Why are people alive?

When this question is mentioned, most people feel a little heavy and do not want to think about it. They think it is taboo and think Only pessimism would raise this misanthropic question. In order to solve this problem, Sakyamuni became a monk and came to the conclusion that people live for Nirvana.

In fact, this is not the case. As middle-aged people, half of our lives have passed. When we discuss why people live, we have just rationally looked down on life and death. We understand that everyone in the world will eventually die, and we can face life and death calmly. Only then can we think about the meaning of life.

As the old saying goes, at forty there is no confusion, at fifty one knows destiny. After people reach middle age, they have to think about the meaning of life, and then they can sort out the failures and successes in their past lives, where they have taken detours and wrong paths, what should be done in the future, whether they can be adjusted and optimized, and whether there are better life goals. To realize it, and then gradually formulate and implement plans to achieve the goals of life, improve the meaning of life, and go well in the second half of life.

Just like, a football match is divided into the first half and the second half. During the halftime break, we need to adjust our physical strength, sort out the correct mistakes in the first half, and make optimization preparations and plans for the second half. We cannot not play the second half just because this game will definitely be played in the end. We also try our best to play well and strive for the best result; even if the result is a draw or even a loss, it does not affect that we can play more exciting in the second half, doesn't it?

If you live toward death and understand the irresistibility of the end of life, you will consider how to better live the rest of your life.

Once, I had a dinner with several colleagues and had a few drinks. During the dinner, I was slightly tipsy and the conversation was lively.

Yi Xiongtai asked: Why are people alive? Everyone has their own understanding, and although they also have their own thinking, they are not systematic.

That dear friend expressed his own opinion, firstly, because of inertia; secondly, because of responsibility and love; thirdly, because of hope.

I understand what this dear friend means, and it is roughly as follows:

There are many people who are like stepping on the watermelon rind of fate, walking wherever they slide, taking things as they come, and in a difficult life, Without thinking about the causes of various difficulties in one's life, or being unable to change the current situation of one's life, one can only live according to inertia, not knowing where tomorrow will be, and not thinking about what the future will bring.

There are also some people who are old and young at the top. There are old people at the top who need to be served and parents who need to be supported; there are families at the bottom that need to be supported and children that need to be nurtured and educated. The burdens of life are stressful, but most adults have to bear them. Sometimes, you not only live for yourself, but also for your family. According to jokes circulated on the Internet, business owners can scold the post-80s generation at will, but the post-80s generation will be obedient and dare not resist; if the post-90s generation is scolded, the post-90s generation will turn around and leave without paying attention; if the post-00s generation is scolded, the boss will be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. If you want anything, you will suffer, but if you don't have desire, you will be strong. Carrying responsibility and love, no matter how hard it is, how tired it is, how many grievances it has, we have to survive.

Perhaps most people are full of hope when facing the future, believing that the future can be better, that they will eventually reap happiness in life, and that their career, family, and children's affairs will gradually get better. Because there is hope, there is light in our hearts, so we have the courage and confidence to continue moving forward. This is also the reason why most people are willing to survive. If a person has no hope and no hope, then he will lose the desire to live.

Actually, this dear friend never thought that there is another type of people who live in the moment and enjoy the happiness of the moment. They are drunk today and will be worried tomorrow. The first type of people live by inertia. This kind of people live by inertia. One is to live casually, without responsibility, without hope, just enjoy today and enjoy it for as long as you can. These people live because of their spontaneity.

So, why am I alive?

Let’s sort out the past and divide it into several stages.

The first stage is the youth period. I have been frail and sick since I was a child. There were several times when I was almost unable to survive as a child. I had sores on my head when I was in elementary school. I still have two big scars on my head. I broke my arm. It was only after I was almost in junior high school that my health gradually improved.

My family was extremely poor and must have been malnourished. I don’t have much memory of this. I didn’t have a strong appetite when I was a child. What impressed me most was my father’s violent temper and his sharp mouth. Although he is great, he works hard and holds up the sky for his family. But I didn't understand it when I was a child, and I was deeply affected by my father's two shortcomings. My bad temper caused me to quarrel with my classmates in junior high school, high school, and even in college. My father's sharp tongue made me very afraid of him when I was a child. When I grew up, I also found that my thoughts were a little extreme. After I graduated from college, I thought that I would not live to be thirty, not because of physical reasons, but because of my physical condition. Because of extreme thoughts, you may do irrational things.

The second stage is the youth stage. Because of the end of my relationship in college and the tempering of work and society, I have been reflecting on my experiences over the past twenty years, analyzing myself, reflecting on my human weaknesses, and then making corrections and adjustments to myself, which has effectively corrected my bad temper. , overcoming the negative influence brought by the original family. At the same time, I became financially independent and relatively well-off after working. The positive factors of buying a house, buying a car, getting married, and raising children nourished my mind and allowed me to completely change my extreme thoughts and become less extreme in my views on people and their actions. At this stage, you should have a positive and enjoyable attitude towards life. You can play photography, badminton, travel, educate children, and experience the splendor of human life. There is no time to think about such profound questions as to why people are alive.

The third stage, the preliminary middle age stage, has ups and downs in career and ups and downs in family, and then returns to normal. The second child is born, the father is born, and the true meaning of life is tested in this stage. What's more terrible is that the physical health has also been seriously challenged. After the gout started, playing badminton led to a lumbar disc herniation, and the waist injury made people feel pain all day long. In order to treat my back injury, I went to physical therapy once or twice a week. It took me a year to get better. This stage makes me pessimistic. I lie on the physiotherapy bed and always think about some philosophies of life about why people live. At that time, I didn't actually understand it. I just knew that I didn't want to live a life with pain and illness. If I were over sixty years old and fulfilled my responsibilities, I would be willing to leave this world as soon as possible.

The fourth phase is in progress. Gout is always around me, so I have to find a suitable way to exercise my body. Playing badminton is not enough, and my back injury can recur at any time. Running and walking can also cause ankle injuries and trigger gout. I came into contact with Baduanjin last year and often do it in the office, but there are intermittent pauses. After the Dragon Boat Festival this year, I was doing Ba Duan Jin at home in the morning. In order to keep myself busy, I checked in in my circle of friends. When I checked in, I found that writing some words was very interesting, and I continued to write articles and check in later. I have completed 100 articles in Moments, and now I am starting to write articles on the official account. Now, I also receive physical therapy for lumbar disc herniation to regulate the kidney meridian and curb gout. The physical therapist suggested that I go swimming. While swimming, I found that many elderly people in their sixties were also insisting on swimming. Sometimes they even talked happily about women. This gives me a lot of hope. If I still have the heart and strength to talk about women at this age, I think it would be good for me to live longer and live over 70 years old. Writing articles allows me to sort out and improve my thinking, and practicing gradually gives me more courage and confidence.

Why I am alive? After more than 100 days of thinking and sorting out articles, I think it should be:

First of all, I want to live a better life, so that my body, spirit, and All aspects of psychological and economic strength can develop in an upward and benign way.

Secondly, it is my responsibility, love, and hope to make my family’s life better. I cannot be like those strong men and great men who can make more people live better and make the country and society develop better. If you are rich, you will take care of the world. If you are poor, you will take care of yourself. I take care of myself and my family first.

In the end, people live forever without leaving any trace. Wouldn't it be more meaningful if some spiritual things could be left behind? So I wrote articles and published them on self-media, hoping that through hard work, I could achieve the goal of publishing a book. There is always an ideal, but what if it comes true?

To live is to do meaningful things; to live meaningfully is to live well.

Does this convoluted sentence sound familiar to you?

You may be familiar with it. This is the famous saying of Xu Sanduo, the protagonist of the TV series "Soldier Assault".

The protagonist Xu Sanduo was born in a poor family. His father was tough and violent. His mother was not seen in the TV series, so Xu Sanduo was cowardly and had no independent opinion since he was a child. Following his father's arrangement, he reluctantly joined the army. After the military training, he was singled out by all the companies and sent to a forgotten border station to sit on the bench.

The forgotten border station is full of people who have been abandoned and forgotten. In this environment, Xu Sanduo is like a breath of fresh air. He performs internal affairs and military affairs every day, and does his own thing according to the requirements of the soldiers. , do meaningful things according to your father's instructions. The roommates couldn't stand an unassimilable person and encouraged him to build a road. There were no machines or materials, so I had to go to the grassland to pick up stones. Finally, a road was built, which also reminded the troops that there was a border guard station here. Although he kept stumbling, Xu Sanduo gritted his teeth and did meaningful things. The few things that impressed me the most were: to avoid motion sickness, I went to practice horizontal bar and completed 333 in a record setting; became the only person left behind in a disbanded company and persisted in domestic and military affairs for several years; when a family member had an accident, the entire army extended a helping hand hand. In the end, Xu Sanduo became the king of the special forces.

Just like playing cards, Xu Sanduo picked up a bad hand of cards, and finally, as he played slowly, the cards gradually became better.

Xu Sanduo is starring Wang Baoqiang. Wang Baoqiang in reality is more exciting than the story on TV. After watching the movie "Shaolin Temple", Wang Baoqiang persuaded his family to go to the Shaolin Temple alone when he was 8 years old and became a lay disciple of the Shaolin Temple. He left the Shaolin Temple at the age of 14 and wanted to be a hero, but ended up having to do odd jobs. At the age of 18, he took the 800 yuan he had saved and went to Beijing to pursue his dream of becoming a star. He became one of the many actors from Beijing drifting in front of the Beijing Film Studio. Others know how to fall, but Wang Baoqiang can really fall. If the income of extra performers cannot support himself, Wang Baoqiang goes to the construction site part-time as a migrant worker. After two years, he finally got the opportunity he had been waiting for - "Blind Shaft". During the filming of "Blind Shaft", the crew often had to work in mines hundreds of meters deep. The conditions were so difficult that many actors quit midway, but only Wang Baoqiang persisted. The entire Chinese film industry did not expect that in this "rural drama", Wang Baoqiang's completely authentic performance would eventually win the Taiwan Film Award - the Golden Horse Award for Newcomer, and officially enter the world's attention. When Feng Xiaogang was looking for the role of "Silly Gen" in "A World Without Thieves", his eyes lit up when he saw "The Blind Shaft" and he was determined to play Wang Baoqiang. Then everyone knew that "Hello, Mr. Shu", "Soldier Assault", "My Brother's Name is Shunliu", "The Man on the Road", and "Detective Chinatown" all had very exciting performances. From the beginning, Feng Xiaogang, Andy Lau, Liu Ruohua, and Chen Sicheng all became his nobles, and now they have become the best cards.

The most incredible thing is that in 2016, Wang Baoqiang claimed that Ma Rong had cheated on him, and all the money he earned was emptied by Ma Rong. He had no money to file a lawsuit, so Chen Sicheng borrowed millions and paid the taxes immediately superior. As Ma Rong's pillowcase, none of the dirty information revealed by Ma Rong is true. The entire network supported Wang Baoqiang overwhelmingly. Wang Baoqiang actually succeeded in averting this calamity. In this world, whoever can be killed by humans will be looked at with a magnifying glass by everyone on the Internet, but not a single piece of dirty information can be found, but Wang Baoqiang did it and successfully survived the disaster.

This is why in life, when we were weak, we did not give up on ourselves to work hard and create a career; when we were strong, we did not fall prey to crises. No matter what cards you have, work hard to play them, slowly accumulate and develop them, and it is best to achieve a good hand.

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will taste like." This is a classic line from the movie "Forrest Gump". Forrest Gump, a single-parent family, a mentally retarded child with inconvenient legs and feet, "Run, Forrest run", the voice of his childhood sweetheart, made Forrest Gump a master runner, a master of campus sports, a military model, a national hero, and finally a successful person in the business world, realizing his own The counterattack of life.

There may be many people who were given a bad hand of cards or a middle-class hand of cards when they were born. They will never be able to achieve a small goal mentioned by Mr. Wang Jianlin throughout their lives, but this does not prevent us from doing our best. With your own strength, you can slowly improve the conditions of your life, and finally make your cards better and better. Turning bad cards into average cards, turning average cards into good cards, and turning good cards into better ones may be the meaning of our lives.

I am a member of Run fans and I really like the articles on the "Liu Run" public account. He also published an article about how to manage and live, in the article "How to live a life worthy of this life?" "said:

To live this life well, I began to think that it was the pursuit of happiness, so that I could live my life happily;

Then I discovered that happiness is not my goal, freedom The only thing is to pursue freedom of body, time, wealth and spirit.

How to pursue freedom? Delay gratification and realize the art of life.

What is the meaning of life? In this life, I will do what I really want to do. I figured it out, life must be free.

6.

Why do people want to live?

Whether it is the pursuit of happiness or the pursuit of freedom; or what Xu Sanduo said, "To live is to do meaningful things, and to do meaningful things is to live well"; or what I said, let yourself live well Some want their families to live a better life and do some ideological things. Their common goal is to live well and live a better and better life.

We come to this world passively, and we will also leave this world passively in the future. We cherish this opportunity of life, understand the meaning of life, improve and perfect our own life conditions, and let ourselves value ourselves. For people, the longer they live, the better; they allow themselves to do what they really want to do.

You only get one chance in life.

Since we have been given this chance of life, we should live well and live better and better!

This may be the answer to why people live.
