Life is actually a process, a process of survival from birth to death. The meaning of life lies in the quality of the process, the value of survival, and the taste of life.
It is difficult to use a few exact words to define the meaning of life. Different people will have different understandings, perceptions and opinions. Those who love life regard life as gold and silver; those who do not love life regard life as dung; those who love life, their life is as heavy as Mount Tai; those who do not love life, their life is as light as a feather.
Different understandings will definitely have different results. Some people regard obligation, dedication, and creation as the true meaning of life; some people regard request, possession, and enjoyment as the entirety of life.
Different understandings definitely have different endings. Some people love life, but they are willing to sacrifice their lives and forget about death. They stand up at critical moments and act for justice. They would rather break their jade to see the value of their lives. Some people are greedy for life, but they are greedy for life and fear death. They shrink back at critical moments. Kneel down, surrender, and live an ignoble existence, choosing to live in ruins in order to preserve the continuation of his life.
Different opinions will inevitably lead to different endings. Some people cherish life and realize that they live only once. Life is a resource that cannot be regenerated. Life cannot be restarted. Life cannot be discarded and restarted. Life is not like a clay figure that is destroyed and the clay is kneaded again. Every day that passes will become one less day. You will grow older every year, and living a life is like turning a page in a history book. Therefore, those who value life must seize every second, and they must repay every day. Years and months are life, and half a minute and half a second is wasted, and half an hour is wasted. They are all equivalent to shortening life; those who value life, regard work as sacred and achievement as a lifelong pursuit, will be immortal and immortal. Do you think life is not easy? How about drinking and singing? Enjoy it when you should enjoy it, have fun when you should have fun, get drunk now, no matter what time it is tomorrow, no matter tomorrow, spend the day and night, be ignorant, have no knowledge, no skills, no desire to make progress, life is like a futile thing, he Living in the world is like a walking corpse. In the end, he only has a handful of dung, which can be regarded as a small reward for the food he wasted.
Life does have a price, and some lives can be clearly marked with a price. During the Great Revolution, the reactionaries classified the revolutionary patriots into different grades and set a price in order to buy their lives. At that time, many people made a fortune by trading their lives, exchanging other people's lives for high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and in exchange for glory and wealth. , of course, in the end, he ended up with a ruined reputation and a bad ending. And those revolutionary patriots who exchange their lives for value and meaning will be worth a hundred times more and eventually become priceless spiritual wealth. And those who betray themselves, betray their country for glory, and are willing to be traitors' lackeys will be infamous for eternity and will never be able to stand up again.
The meaning and value of life are self-evident. Everyone has an account of life in his mind. He cleans his own account, settles his own accounts, and makes statistics by himself. In the end, he must hand it over to the world for comment, judgment, and conclusion.
Writing materials:
Please refer to Jack London's "Love of Life" and Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea".
I also liked reading foreign novels when I was in middle school and read a lot. Like you, I also "read them when I have time" for Chinese classics. In fact, foreign masterpieces have their historical writing background, and there are also some non-native cultures that we cannot understand. Many times we are just watching for fun, so it is better not to read them. Moreover, the language expressions and historical and cultural knowledge in Chinese classics will be more helpful for your writing and broadening your horizons.
However, based on your needs, I recommend foreign novels that I think are worth reading. They may not all be profound, but they will definitely be addictive.
Pride and Prejudice (don’t be put off by the name). There is no preaching here but a romantic comedy story. Emma is also another interesting novel by Jane Austen but Sense and Sensibility and I don't recommend some other books, but a brief taste of her books is enough.
