"Living is not an end, but living well."
This is a famous saying of Socrates, an ancient Greek philosopher. Different people may have different understandings of this sentence. After all, there is no measurable standard for "living" and "living well".
As far as my personal understanding is concerned, "living" means living-this person is really not dead, but he has lost his soul and dignity, and all that remains is to live quietly. Like the famous monarch of national subjugation in history and Emperor Huiqin of the Northern Song Dynasty, they suffered humiliation in the northern country, and what they lived was only a skin.
so, what about "live well"? I think the core of "living well" must be living with soul and dignity. "Living well" certainly includes material things, but living luxuriously is not necessarily "living well". Some people may be poor in material life, but they have a very rich spiritual world, and they can also manage a poor life very freely and happily.
There is a very good saying on the Internet: "I don't want much, just a glass of water, a piece of bread and a flower; If you are extravagant, I hope you pour the water, cut the bread and insert the flowers. " To turn an ordinary day into a poem is to "live well". -wonderful
@ wonderful? I have always thought that human life has two meanings: doing something and enjoying something. When you are unable to do something and enjoy it, the meaning of life has disappeared. This may be "living", but it is not "living well". I have personally understood and positioned life in this way for decades! ——YZS
@YZS? Dear teacher, I have to refute your words [leisurely]. Your realm, pattern and great wisdom have been leading us. Isn't this the best thing to do? At the same time, we have enjoyed your spiritual wealth, and you must be happy! Because you are a person with great love! So you live better than most people! -wonderful
"Living is not an end, living well is"-a famous sentence. When I saw this sentence, I immediately thought of yesterday's online learning book "Live a Happy Life"-teaching us how to live well, establish a correct view of happiness, everyone's talent in live high, everyone's advantage in live high, and feel happiness from the bottom of my heart. I think this is a good life. Living well, except for thinking, the execution of action is half the way to happiness. -Lin Lin
