Strictly speaking, all existence requires "time". Time proves everything because it changes everything. The climate is cold and hot, the vegetation is flourishing and withering, and people cannot lack time from birth to death, and everything takes place in time.
It is often said that "the meaning of life" or "the value of life". In fact, the real meaning and value of a person's survival is just to occupy dozens of years. Without him in the world during his lifetime, he would be meaningless and worthless. If he lives to the point where he can no longer live and die, he has no life, and naturally he is even more meaningless and worthless.
Just like the ignorance of the majority and the wisdom of the minority, they all come to the conclusion that "the meaning and value of life is to live for decades", so they both affirm life and eat, Drink, sleep, quarrel, fall in love...live and wait for death. After death, let the coffin come to bury him, the loess come to bury him, and the maggots come to clean him up.
It is too scary to explain the meaning of life so simply: "Live, live, fall, die." Therefore, the next-level smart people and the same-level fools come to the second conclusion about the meaning and value of life, which is "how to spend these decades." Although I am more positive about life, so eating, drinking, sleeping, quarreling, falling in love... However, there are differences in the choices between gains and losses in life. This difference is immediately apparent. In other words, smart people want to live an ideal life, while stupid people want to live a accustomed life. Smart people believe that the present is not entirely good and that everything should be better than the present, and strive to pursue that ideal. Foolish people are completely satisfied with habits, content with them, and protect them. (In secular observation, the two types of people are often called opposites. Those who are content with their habits are called smart people, while those who embrace ideals are called stupid people.)
Both kinds of people have the same "how to" The plan of "spending these decades like this" is to find the meaning and value of existence among people. Even if they choose the same career, their achievements will be different. The same wants to conquer color lines as a painter, the same wants to conquer the sound of musical instruments as a musician, the same wants to conquer wood, stone, copper, teeth and other materials as a sculptor, the same wants to conquer personal behavior as an emperor, the same wants to conquer the human heart as a thinker: all results None will be the same. Therefore, there are great poets and bad poets in the world, and there are great revolutionaries and hypocritical revolutionaries. As for the different purposes and career choices of the two types of people, it is easier to see clearly at a glance.
Seeing the meaning and value of life, that’s how it is, but wanting to make life have some special meaning and value before and after death. The mind is extremely smart, but the person seems to be stupid. This is an explanation in history. Jia Jia, Confucius, and Jesus are such people. Such people may be born into the world, join the world, make revolutions, or go back to the old ways. They may appear stupid when they are alive, but they may appear great after their death. Qu Yuan considered this kind of people to be of a different type. There were not many such people in history, but occasionally there were one or two who looked very similar. Naturally, such a person can only live for a few decades, but his concepts, opinions, demeanor, and articles can live in human memory for thousands of years. All people's lives have a time limit, but the lives of this kind of people seem not to be subject to this limit.
Having said that, time will prove everything, but time itself is an extremely abstract thing. No one can ever explain what time is like. "Time" does not exist alone. Time is invisible, soundless, colorless and odorless. To explain the existence of time, we have to go back to things to obtain evidence. Find evidence from the coming and going of the sun and the moon, from the prosperity and decline of vegetation, from the survival of life. Just because everything can be an annotation for time, time itself has been ignored. Therefore, when most people ask about the meaning and value of life, no one dares to say, "The meaning and value of life are just a bunch of time."
“The ancients will never be seen before, and the newcomers will never be seen after.” These are the words of a person who truly understands the meaning and value of life. The old gentleman felt very lonely when he said this! The person who can say this is a great man, and the person who can understand this is not an ordinary person. Everyone alive today remembers these two sentences, but only those who have been led from the sun to prison, or from the prison to the execution ground, who are devoted to their ideals, understand the meaning of these two sentences best.
Because the life of the person who said this is a waste, and the life of the person who understands this is a waste of life. They come to the same destination in different ways, completely frowning at the facts, but dare to fall in love with the ideal.
Their methods are different, their times are different, their environments are different, their experiences are also different, but their hearts are the same, and they also jump for mankind.
