It also says "boring" Author: Wang Lei Source: Non-Chinese Language (recommended by Wang Dongsheng's blog) Essay title: Read the following materials and complete the essay as required. "Shantou Special Zone Evening News" reported that 9-year-old Taotao (pseudonym) has parents who are senior managers of the company, and his family conditions are quite favorable. However, Taotao seems to be a bit "born in blessings and does not know the blessings". When he is in the third grade of elementary school, he often stays alone and does not want to play with the children. While chatting with the doctor, Taotao even said, "I feel like living is boring, so I might as well die." This shocked his parents. "Hainan Daily": "Going to school is boring; sports meetings are boring; class and team activities are boring... When interviewing children, the most common thing I hear is 'boring'." An old head teacher with more than 30 years of teaching experience said that she has never been like this So confused now." Nowadays, "boring" has almost become a mantra. Adults say that going to work is boring, children say that going to school is boring, rich people say that having too much money is boring, and poor people say that living without money is really boring... What on earth is wrong with us? Why does everyone think life is boring? What do you think about this issue? Please write an article with the title "It's also said to be 'boring'", no less than 800 words. Everyone feels that "living is boring". There is actually a presupposition in this sigh, or an implicit premise, that is, life should be interesting. If it were said that life is inherently boring and has never been interesting, then people would not talk about "boring" all day long. In this way, it seems that life should be interesting. So, what is this "meaning"? How did it come from? In other words, who gives meaning to life? Let's take a look at a few words first - Nietzsche: "Life is meaningless, but we have to give it meaning with the spirit of Dionysus. This is the greatest thing about human beings." Hu Shi: "Life is meaningless. You must be able to Give it whatever meaning it has." Bi Shumin: "Life has no meaning. Everyone must determine the meaning of his own life." Two points can be summarized from these words - (1) Life has no meaning. (Meaning); (2) People (us, you, everyone) give it meaning. Let’s look at the first point first: life is (originally) meaningless. This is very important to remember! Think about it, everyone, we came into the world inexplicably, and no one asked for our opinions. What’s even more strange is that after a few decades, we suddenly disappeared without a trace. What kind of thing is this? Do you think this matter has any meaning? For a long time, we have always mistakenly believed that life is inherently meaningful. We have been asked to set up lofty ambitions since we were young. When we grow up, we want to be scientists, the People's Liberation Army, and astronauts. We are required to recite "A person's life should be spent like this..." and to swear: "Always be ready..." and write The composition should "remember a meaningful thing". It's hard to look forward to the holidays, but it is also necessary to "have a meaningful holiday." Now, I want to tell you, this is a big lie! Life is originally meaningless. The so-called "meaning of life" that we have been taught since childhood was forced on us by someone when we were young and ignorant. Let’s look at the second point: meaning is given by people themselves. Because life has no meaning, people have to give it meaning. Humans are animals that pursue meaning, and they cannot tolerate a meaningless life. The poet said that people need reasons to live. If you can't find this reason, it may become a reason to die. Therefore, the 9-year-old Taotao in the material said: "Life is meaningless, it is better to die." This child is amazing, he can say such philosophical words casually. If his words are translated into the language of Socrates, it is "A life without examination (introspection) is not worth living." If translated into the language of Heidegger, it is "Man, poetically inhabiting the earth." Now we know that life has no meaning, it is people who give it meaning. Now let’s talk about a more important question: Who is the subject (subject) of “giving meaning to life”? In other words, who gives meaning to life? Whose life is given meaning? The answer is: give your own life your own meaning. The three famous quotes quoted above all emphasize that it is each of us and you who determine the meaning of life. Here are a few points that must be made clear: (1) You can only give meaning to your own life, you cannot give meaning to other people’s lives; (2) You should control your own life by yourself, and should not let others interfere and Control your life; (3) Everyone gives their own life different meanings. If the meaning of my life is determined by myself, then I will not feel boring. What kind of person I want to be, what kind of life I pursue, is what I want, I choose, I like, I am happy, I am willing, how could I feel boring? The wives of the Decembrists gave up their status as nobles and followed their husbands to Siberia under the tsar's charter to remarry. This was their own choice. Would they find it boring? In order not to hinder his freedom, Spinoza refused the position of university professor and relied on grinding mirrors to make a living. No one forced him to do this. He was willing and happy. How could he find it boring? There are also the familiar Mother Teresa and Dr. Schweitzer, as well as the Tao Yuanming who returned to the countryside and the bohemian Ruan Bingling, who are often mentioned in student compositions.

The former closely associates their lives with poverty, disease and death, while the latter does not seek "improvement" and is willing to "fall". These are their own determined life paths. A student who was about to graduate from college suddenly gave up his studies to do what he loved. He didn’t even need a diploma, and he was still at the most famous university in the world. A middle school student traveled to Africa during the summer vacation of his graduation year. He saw the extreme poverty and hunger in a certain place, as well as the raging AIDS epidemic. He decided to stay and do what he could for the local people, regardless of the best in the country. University admission notice. If something like this happened in China, nine out of ten mothers would be mad, and one would die of anger on the spot (I say this very unkindly, and I deeply apologize to the Chinese mothers), and the American mother of the middle school student said: His son is full of pride. In a poor mountainous area, a reporter asked a child who dropped out of school to herd sheep, why do you herd sheep? The answer was to make money. When the reporter asked what he did to make money, the answer was to build a house, to build a house, to marry a wife, to have a wife, to have children. "So, what's the point of having a baby?" The answer was "herding sheep." (I have to admit, this example is very cruel.) This child will not feel that life is boring. On the contrary, he feels that life has a purpose. From short-term goals to long-term plans, he has planned his life. Just follow the circle. Similarly, we can ask a student from a prestigious middle school in a big city, why do you study so hard? Get into college, find a good job, make a lot of money, marry a beautiful woman...beautiful women also want to have children, so why do they have children? The answer is, study hard and do well in college! (How much smarter and nobler are we than the children who herd sheep in the mountains?) Since our goals are so clear and our prospects are so wonderful, why do we still feel that life is boring? Why do so many people today find life boring? I just mentioned that if the meaning of my life is determined by myself, then how can I feel boring? On the other hand, if I feel that life is boring, it must be because I cannot determine my own goals and pursuits in life, and I cannot give my life meaning. A person cannot arrange his own life independently, cannot choose his own life path according to his own interests and hobbies, cannot do what he is most interested in and most willing to do, and cannot give his own life according to his own understanding and needs. Meaning, it must be a very sad thing, what else can it mean? So many people today find it boring. The reasons are of course many and complicated, but the most fundamental reason, or the biggest secret, is that they cannot really do what they want. Learning should be very interesting, and people have an innate desire for knowledge. Judging from the above materials, if children say that going to school is not interesting, and that sports games and class team activities are not interesting, it must be that the students' interests and needs are not taken into account, that they go against their wishes, and that they ignore the development of students' potential, creativity and personality. If work cannot bring out one's potential and realize one's self-worth, but it is passive, mechanical, and boring repetitive work day after day, this kind of work cannot bring oneself physical and mental satisfaction and creative pleasure, but only earns money to make a living. How can working be interesting if you don’t have the means? If money is only used to feed one's body and satisfy one's various material desires, it will inevitably lead to boredom in the end, and money itself cannot create meaning. As mentioned before, humans are animals that seek meaning, and humans are animals that seek poetry. Only in a poetic state can talent appear and be illuminated. When we say that life is unpoetic, we are actually making poetic demands on life. When we feel that life is boring, it is precisely the poetic desire that oppresses us - because our nature is poetic. Some people say that what you said is wrong. Adults work hard to make money, and children study hard to get into college. These are their own choices and things they are willing to do. Why do they still find it boring? I want to remind everyone to think: Are these really their own choices? Are they really all they are willing to do? Furthermore, do we really know what we want? Do we know what we really want? Most of the time we don't actually know, we just seem to know, we just pretend to know. Today, how many people have time to reflect on their own behavior, their own desires and their true inner needs? We still have three years, we still have two years, we still have one year, we only have 100 days, we only have 60 days, now there are only more than 20 days, it is said that these 20 days can be used to fight for yourself life. The ever-present pressure forces us to move forward, move forward, run, and, it is said, lead. ——This is advanced culture. Nowadays, under the siege of advanced culture, it is probably an unattainable dream to live a meaningful life.
