What is the meaning of life?

Think: What is the meaning of life? , we should first understand what a person is.

Human beings are just one of the creatures on a small earth in the vast universe. They are a special form of matter formed by the fusion of matter in the universe. It’s just that this material composition has life and higher-level thoughts. Human beings have the same characteristics as other materials, such as creation, destruction, transformation, etc. His meaning is to embody the transformation and existence of matter in the universe. He cannot affect the very foundation of the universe. And after he is eliminated or transformed into other forms in the future, human beings will disappear. (Of course, we do not rule out the emergence of human-like animals on other planets.)

Facing the boundless universe and their own sad fate, people with ideas are very unwilling to find a way to survive. "Great meaning" to distinguish it from other substances and other living things. But if you are rational and truthful, you have to admit that you are essentially the same as other substances and other creatures, but your thinking is a little more advanced, but you cannot jump out of the universe. Therefore, the proposition "Why do people live", if you want to target the universe and nature, can only be delusional. If you relativize this proposition, not targeting the universe, but only targeting human beings and themselves, this proposition will have meaning. . That is to say, the purpose of human life can only be to make human beings (including "me") survive longer and better in the universe. This is the only correct starting point of the proposition

Besides, the birth of a person is not your own will, it is human beings and parents who give birth to you, so you cannot be yourself in this world. purpose of birth. The "purpose" of your birth is "imposed" on you by nature, humans, and your parents. Therefore, a personal outlook on life must have the same relevance as the "purpose" of human beings and parents, forming the "big self" (will be discussed later) part of the personal outlook on life.

Because an individual’s biological instinct has innate self-nature, the formation of his acquired personal thoughts also has its own uniqueness. This forms the "ego" part of one's outlook on life.

Moreover, human beings include the two endpoints of the entire human society (big self) and "I" myself (small self), so different individuals' outlook on life also chooses between these two extremes ( This choice forms the uniqueness of one's outlook on life):

1. Take oneself as the center and the standard. Living is everything, everything is living for me. My desires come first. (Can be referred to as "ego")

2. Take society as your own responsibility. I am born and raised by the crowd, the clan, and my parents, so I am also a member of them. Without them, I would not exist. So I want to talk about repayment and responsibility. We must also do our best to serve the community, relatives and friends. (Tentatively referred to as "Big Self")

When individuals deal with the world, they always weigh between the two (although sometimes it is subconscious). However, individuals have different worldviews and different understandings, that is, The degree of emphasis is different. Some people focus on themselves, others focus on society. In fact, there are very few, if not none, people with two absolute extremes. Among the currently popular answers are the so-called value theory and the so-called psychological balance theory, which are nothing more than finding a "balance" between these two extremes. For example, "As long as you are happy and satisfied, that's all." It seems that the standard is based on the individual, but there are also people who feel happy when others serve society, so people who hold this argument also have differences between the two extremes.

It should be clear that among the "ego" people, if they can restrain themselves according to the principles of being reasonable and legal and not actively plundering or harming others, such "ego people" are also respectable, because the self Life is a part of the entire human existence, and good personal survival is also a good part of the entire human existence. Let us not deny the survival significance of this "ego". In the sense that human survival is the sum of the survival of each "I", "I"'s pursuit of self-worth, self-happiness and satisfaction, as long as it is reasonable and legal, is worthy of recognition.

In the positive outlook on life and the negative outlook on life, there is also a distinction between the big self and the small self. For example, the currently popular saying of "pursuing the realization of self-worth in life" is a positive spirit of life. However, when it comes to their judgment of "self-worth," they also have the choice of being a small self or a big self. If he is an extreme egoist, this kind of person will sometimes be very scary. Sometimes he will do whatever it takes to realize his self-worth, even at the expense of the interests of other people and even the entire human society; if he is an egotist, he will often work hard and sacrifice himself for others. He will be a rare good person.

Another example is the negative outlook on life - the answers to life given by various religions. Faced with the relativity of human existence and the inevitability of "my" death, mentally weak people will be very afraid. Therefore, various religions came into being to anesthetize these fears with illusory things such as the afterlife, heaven, and the paradise world. In the final analysis, this is just a kind of anesthesia, which can be used as a kind of "psychotherapy". People with fragile psychology may wish to try it. But if you take it seriously and "drunk until you wake up", you will end up in a state of confusion all your life. Let's live up to the only opportunity we have as a "human" to walk in the universe! Although they failed to live up to their "opportunity", they have completed the survival process of a human being after all. As long as they really have "no desires and no demands", there is nothing wrong with them.

As a society, as "others", of course we like people who have a greater self.

When there are more people with a greater self, the society will become warmer. However, human instinctive survival needs and the limitations of reason determine that the ego will never cease to exist! Especially when society is extremely unfair, inner imbalance and the need for self-defense will also make individualism very prominent. But I also believe that with the development and progress of human intelligence, the idea of ????everyone for one and one for everyone will eventually prevail.

In short, the purpose of human life can only be relatively speaking, that is, how to make human beings (including "me") survive in the universe relatively longer and live better. One should have this sane concept. As for whether it is the big self or the small self, positive or negative, everyone has their own emphasis. Different hobbies, specialties, emotions, tendencies, and environments will make each person's outlook on life colorful.

Second, you must understand life.

◎ Life shēnghuó [live]: survival; living people cannot live without society

The so-called life is something that everyone experiences every day, including all sleep and food in daily life Work, rest, source, words and silence are all life. Life itself lies in survival, so life is innate. Once you are born, you should live. ——From "Life Notes" by Wang Aijun of the International Jun Friends Association, a famous charity organization. If life is so simple, then why bother and work hard for a hundred years? Here we must discuss the purpose of life. It turns out that people have a desire for survival. When one desire is satisfied, another desire will immediately appear; when a lower level desire is satisfied, a higher level desire will appear. In other words, after the current life is solved, you will immediately think of a better life. This trend exists regardless of whether you are virtuous or unworthy. What is a good life? The so-called good life is not only about material enjoyment, but more importantly, spiritual development and personality expansion, that is, the improvement of the quality of life. In other words, not only can you live, but you also have to find a way to enable others to live as well. Now that you have a good life, you also need to have a way to enable others to have a good life as well. The so-called "oneself establishes oneself" and "oneself achieves success" Master" is it. And in fact, only if everyone can live, then one can live. This is the so-called principle of "life". The great figures of ancient and modern times all hold the heart of "If there are hungry people in the world, it is only because they are hungry; if there are people who are drowning in the world, it is only because they are drowning." They give full play to their talents and strive to seek happiness for the public, even sacrificing themselves. He will not hesitate to make sure that all the people in the world can sit together at the same table. This spirit, when it comes to individuals, is self-innovation; when it comes to groups, it is the practice of "life". Therefore, the purpose of individual life is never to live one's own life. It must enhance the life of all mankind before fulfilling one's responsibility.

Life pursuit

Life includes material life and spiritual life. The previous ones are basically material life, while spiritual life is a kind of spiritual sustenance that people pursue after their material life is basically guaranteed. For example, listening to music can cultivate people's sentiments and make people happy, which is a spiritual pursuit. The famous poet Zang Kejia wrote "Some People" at the 100th anniversary of Lu Xun's birth: "Some people are alive, he is dead, some people are dead, he is still alive", spiritual life comes from material life, and material life Dependent on spiritual life. Human life is to live with purpose and plan. What is life? Some creators say: Life is about constant innovation. They are trying new experiments every day, designing new styles, writing articles, calculating... They are all soaring in the sea of ??knowledge, constantly upgrading and updating knowledge. For them, this is life. What is life? Some manual workers say: Life is about doing ordinary things. Beside the road, on the bridge, in the building, how many cleaners are cleaning for the people. How many workers are building houses for people in a certain construction area. They work hard to create a comfortable living environment for people. For them, this is life. What is life? Some old people say: Life is to enjoy your old age. In today's parks, there are always many elderly people exercising in the early morning or evening. You can see them wandering around and living peacefully every day. For them, this is life. What is life? There are simply too many answers. Some people say that it is a process of overcoming setbacks. Some people say that it is a kind of knockout competition for people. Some people say... No matter what life is, as long as we look at it optimistically, we can make it useful. The meaning is perfect.

Edit this paragraph's life value

In fact People do not live entirely for themselves. Our parents work hard for us. If we can think about the problem from another angle, don't put satisfying our own desires first, cherish and enjoy the happiness of being loved and loved by others. I think that's the most important thing. Moreover, life is short and fleeting, and we may cry or laugh. Why not spread your light and heat to the people who love you and the people you love? Maybe you won't be so worried. I personally agree with your view that spiritual life is higher than material life. Let’s fight together for our ideals and for the people who love us. Philosophy of Life: Life is for us to live the next unfamiliar second with full expectation and enthusiasm even after being hit hard. No one can predict it. We can only achieve the goal. Although it often makes us feel frustrated and helpless, we must face it. Life is fair to everyone. It is not a rain shadow drifting in the wind, nor is it a bubble that bursts at the touch of a finger. As long as we look at gains and losses with a normal heart, feel with our hearts, and discover carefully, you will find that life is right around you... Attitudes towards life Everyone has their own thinking logic and life In this way, we should not rely on other people's experiences to build our own lives. Don't turn other people's success into pressure in your own life. Life is life, maintain a healthy life and live happily - this is the meaning of life. Remember what Maupassant said, life can't be as good as you think, but it can't be as bad either. Therefore, we must live a good life, worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of our parents, worthy of society, and worthy of ourselves.

Edit this paragraph to burn life

◎Ye Qianhua We need conditions in life, whether material or spiritual, there must be reasonableness, legal joint ventures, collusion and cooperation, and appropriateness Things that are cost-effective include those who work together, work together with one's will, work together in harmony, and work together. If you have dry wood, you need a fire. If you have something to do, you need someone who can do it, and someone who can use it. So that we become happy, happy, and life burns. Let us truly own life, understand life, and create life. Make yourself a leader and doer in your career, and a master and enjoyer of love. In a life that burns successfully, it proves that our efforts and struggles are achieved by ourselves. It is the strong demand of life that contributes to our ability life, active life, work life, conditional life and love life. In the blend of material and spiritual things, we have gained the right to market life, indulge in life, manage life, demand life and inspire life. Love is the real driving force of life, and its needs can be said to vary from person to person. The rich and poor, gains and losses, elegance and vulgarity, happiness and sorrow are all the fuel of different lives. In their respective burning years, they are sometimes strong and sometimes weak, sometimes passionate and sometimes dull, until they are extinguished and terminated. The important thing in life is not acquisition, but dedication; not years, but experience; not results, but process. Only a burning life has the possibility to illuminate oneself and others; only a burning object can see its glory and the value of life; only a burning thing can witness its bravery and strength character. We burn for love, for affection, for hope and ideals, for career and spirit. Forge yourself in the midst of burning and realize yourself, so that your life will not lose its splendor and be full of passion. In life, no matter what hardships and hardships we go through, no matter what pain, misfortune and obstacles we encounter, we must see the light, hope, and the joy and happiness of life. Although many things are temporary, as long as we treat right and wrong seriously with our heart and emotions, and correctly understand gains and losses, there is nothing we can't think of or cannot do in life. Although life is short, some things and things are short-lived, and people still live for the many short-lived moments in life. In the process of burning life, we may gain or lose. It doesn't matter whether we gain or lose. It doesn't matter whether we can burn or not. What is life? Everyone has their own way and content. No matter what the conditions and circumstances are, in addition to the physiological instinct needs, it is the expansion and plunder of psychological desires. If it is satisfied once and twice, if this and that are satisfied, it is always there. Keep getting it again and again. As long as it is life, there will be satisfaction and dissatisfaction, needs and no need. We all burn ourselves and others for life. Burned by love, burned by career, burned by money, until it becomes ashes. In today's reality, although life is colorful, many people sacrifice their lives and lose everything for the sake of money, almost leaving nothing but money.

What else do they do besides money? Friendship, affection, sincerity, kindness, trust, etc. have all become things they take advantage of. In their minds, only money can drive their behavior and strengthen their courage. As a result, a restless life makes this society selfish and terrible, making the world lose its justice and become less lovely. Especially among trading people, in a jealous environment, we cannot be swayed by money, and we cannot lose happiness for money and ignore love and career. What we need is a rich and colorful life. Knowing what is important and what is important and a comprehensive and healthy life are achieved through learning, understanding, and labor. It can be said that in a beautiful and healthy life, no one can live without anyone, and no one can live without anyone.

This is a question I have asked myself more than once

Why do people want to live? What kind of problem is this? Some people may say, have you encountered something unthinkable? Now? no! Now I feel very calm! I know what I'm doing now and what I'm thinking. So, in this state, I will think of, why do people live? ! For your parents? For love? For yourself? For the next generation of children? For those who care about themselves? For the person in your heart? …Different people have different reasons. I remember hearing this sentence. Young people live for the future, old people live for memories. For young people, the future is beautiful and full of hope; and memories, no matter how difficult they are, are also warm. What about me? What do I live for?

I found an answer that completely conquered me. It is very simple and pure, but it is not something that ordinary people can understand.

It turns out that

people are alive. No need for any reason.

We don’t know how we came into this world, where body and spirit merged into one to become the unique people we are. We grow up, learn, grow, work, get married and have children and continue to reproduce the next generation - a life similar to ours - and then die, leaving nothing behind.

We don’t need any reason to live, and we have no reason. Like the flowers, birds, fish, insects, and all living beings in the world, our life is just a form of life. Some people live colorful lives, some people are like a wisp of smoke, some are as light as a feather, some are as heavy as Mount Tai, some are famous throughout the ages and praised by future generations, some are infamy for thousands of years, but most people are unknown, and everything we do is also unknown. It is the embellishment in the process of completing life. Vanity, fame, fame, title, love, friendship, enthusiasm, coldness, selfishness, generosity... There is no reason, it is just a process, a process that has already had results. What we can do I just enjoy the gift of life, and then calmly accept this great result

Sometimes I really feel that people live just to wait for death. From birth to now, we are fighting for all kinds of things every moment. Some reasons or just doing things for others. In fact, we work so hard just to survive, but when death comes, we are so powerless and helpless. So death is our final destination and no one can avoid it. All we can do is wait.

However, although life itself is like a circle, it is only a short process from birth to death. But in this process, we unknowingly experience the various flavors of life, the ups and downs, the joys and sorrows. You must know that money, reputation, rights and other things cannot be brought with you in life and will not be taken with you in death, except for life experience. We must know that without experience, we have nothing, so we are lucky to be alive. Even if the process of living is not exciting, even if the process is full of hardships and sufferings, we have been there and lived it, and we have no regrets. I think people live just to experience this process.

Although life is not easy, if we hold an optimistic attitude, we can see it as enjoying life.

So no matter what you go through, I hope you will be strong and happy, and there will be no obstacles that you cannot overcome! good luck!

In the beginning, your parents decided to give you life and let you live.

In the end, you are already alive. If you live for the sake of living, then live naturally, and there will be no reason.

If you don’t want to live, then there is no need for you to ask this question. Whether others give you the answer, don’t you still want to live? It's not like you can't live without an answer.

If you don’t want to live, I can tell you a thousand reasons to live. You have to live for your parents. You have to repay them for their kindness in raising you; if you get married, you have to live for your wife and children, who cannot live without you; you have to live for your stomach, and there are so many delicious things for you. There is nothing to eat, so you must live; you have to live for your eyes, and there are many beautiful scenery that you have not seen... There are many, many reasons, so people must live well.

First, live for the sake of living, and you don’t need to think so much about many issues. Even if you can’t figure this issue out today, or even in your lifetime, I believe that few people will because they can’t figure it out. Suicide because of problems.

Live because you are afraid of unknown death, and also because you live for the sake of living.

Second, when you were born, your parents raised you. From a certain In this sense, life is no longer entirely my own. I believe that if I are hurt, my parents will be more sad than myself. "The world will not change because of losing you, but it will change because of it." "It's more wonderful with you".

So, live more wonderfully for your loved ones, and live more wonderfully for their world.

Three, although, life is not It belongs completely to you, but your destiny is completely in your own hands. Living is to feel the sunshine and darkness, and the ups and downs of life, which a dead person cannot feel. It is also an advantage of the living compared to the dead. Haha.

So, let yourself feel the sunshine and happiness in this world and live.

Fourth, why do people live? Why can many people live happily even if they can’t figure out the answer to this question throughout their lives? Because when you are alive, you will have expectations, hopes, and things you want. There are things you may want to own in the future that you don’t know yet. As long as you live, the future will be filled with infinite possibilities that you cannot predict. Among these possibilities, it is very likely that in the future, you will have the opportunity to realize your dream.

So, there is hope when you are alive. As long as you live, hope will never die.

In this world, there are probably the following situations.

Those who are afraid of death should live.

Those who are not afraid of death but think about the feelings of their loved ones are alive.

Those who are not afraid of death and losing loved ones, but still live happily, are alive.

These are not people who want to create a career, want to have a love they have never tasted, people who have dreams, live.

If it is none of these, then there will be very few people alive.

Desperate people, people who feel that death will be more comfortable than living now, their current living conditions must be extremely painful, people who feel that survival is meaningless and have no love for life are likely to choose to give up life.

Some people say that living is a kind of pain... But in order to live, some people will not care about other people's lives... Do you think life is not important? Go and see the people lying on the hospital bed. ..They are all struggling for life...In fact...the greatest happiness for people is to be alive...there is nothing we can't handle. ...There is a dead end ahead, but hope is around the corner

It’s true that there is no purpose, it can be said to be just a responsibility. Our parents raise us, we raise our children, and the children raise their children. It’s a cycle like this. of.

In order to realize your own value, even if you just heal an injured stray dog ??and help relieve his pain, your life is valuable. Be optimistic and you will be happy all the time!

In order to evolve ourselves better?

Because your parents brought you into this world and raised you up. This is the reason why you must live. You are born You are suffering, so you feel hard. Of course, in addition to hard work and tiredness, you can also experience joy, happiness, and success.

It is a miracle to be here in this world. There are so many things to live in Reasons, for the bright sunshine, for the spring breeze, for the autumn moon, for tasting the various flavors in life, for everyone who loves yourself and the people you love. Tiredness and suffering are both a necessity in life, and they exist to better enable us to cherish the happiness and fulfillment in life.

Because living is a gift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
