There is a sky above everyone's head, and everyone has his own way of life. Obviously, it is necessary to discuss the values of life. However, people are very different, and everyone has their own interests. There seems to be no standard answer.
Saying that "human life is meaningless" is equivalent to saying that human beings are walking dead, and it is not in line with the common sense that "existence is reasonable".
What's the point of saying "human life is meaningful"? This requires putting yourself in the other person's shoes, but one thing doesn't mean that much.
People are social animals, and living people with the same personality are at the top of the food chain because people have unique spirit. But the human spirit is mainly manifested in mutual cooperation.
People's physiological strength is extremely fragile, and it is difficult for individuals to survive alone. So we should cooperate and attack them collectively.
To cooperate, we must speak the same language, cooperate with each other and unify our goals, which requires both individual struggle and collectivism.
The development of human population, like the animal kingdom, is also bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and the survival of the fittest. Individuals must strive to survive.
Mankind is getting stronger and stronger, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce. It's hard to live a human life. Here are three greatest common divisors:
Convention 1: if you think too much, you may not succeed, but if you don't want to, you will fail;
Practice 2: Hard work does not necessarily make you rich, but poor work will make you poor;
Routine 3: Getting rich is not necessarily happiness, and poverty must be eliminated.
Thus, human beings have the meaning of living together:
In any case, living must be meaningful; It must be meaningless to live in ignorance.
It must be meaningful to live diligently; It must be meaningless to live a leisurely life.
It must be meaningful to become civilized and rich; Living in poverty and backwardness must be meaningless.
A person's ability is big or small, and his professional personality is equal. Even if the efforts have little effect, the place to live is to support yourself by labor and try not to lick the burden of society.
On the other hand, I believe that the epigram of John Locke, a British thinker, can be used as the basic standard to measure the meaning of life:
Laziness leads to ignorance, ignorance leads to poverty, poverty leads to evil and evil leads to laziness. This is a vicious circle.
Plunder is generalized, such as robbery, theft, plagiarism, extortion, seizure, rape, corruption, bribery and laziness.
Evil is broadly defined, such as cheating, forgery, bullying, fishing for fame, fishing in troubled waters and bureaucracy.
Such people may be rich, but in the eyes of the public, most of them are scum and walking dead.
Don't be conceited, men are the last thing. As the saying goes, people are not things. What does this mean? I think things generally refer to things that have no or no vitality.
Therefore, people are not things, which have two meanings, one is "people are not as good as dirt" and the other is "people are not as good as things". Why do you see it?
From the perspective of ecological benefits, people at the top of the food chain are the biggest predators of the ecosystem. Mustard is feed for livestock and earthworm is food for poultry. People can't.
In terms of life cycle, people's life span is several hundred years, but compared with minerals, it is a flash in the pan. It is said that the electronic activity is 10? Now, the proton activity is 10? Now, the sun and the earth will exist for at least 654.38+0 billion years.
People are not as good as dust. Dust, whether it sinks to the bottom of the sea or flies in the air, can always keep pace with the times. Dust returns to dust and soil returns to soil, and wherever it goes, it goes. People can't.
Some people refuse to accept that people have great wisdom and exist like gods. Dust: What? Even if you fly to the moon and eventually go to the west, you can only be complacent. Who are you? !
People are alive, hoping to leave a little memory for the world. Some people say, "No matter who is missing, the earth will still turn." This sentence seems to be only a little short: life is short. In fact, this is correct nonsense and has no constructive significance.
Hegel's famous saying in Principles of Philosophy of Right: Being is reasonable, which can be regarded as the basic principle of the meaning of life.
Kant asked the same three questions as the predecessors said.
Question 1: Why did I come to this world?
Because: nature gives you a reason to exist, the sun and the earth and your parents give you genes and nutrients.
Question 2: What am I doing in this world?
Because: to live is to catch my breath, to live for the reason of existence, and to live indomitable.
Question 3: Why did I leave this world?
Because you have explained the reason of existence and fulfilled the meaning of living, you can't lick the trouble for the ecosystem.
Three meanings of the Buddhist Shurangama Sutra.
Sentence 1: Buddha said "jackfruit"
Analogy: Buddha said "the meaning of living", in other words, whether Buddha should answer "the meaning of living".
The second sentence: it is not "jackfruit"
Analogy: that is, it is not "the meaning of living". In other words, the meaning of living is not a conventional meaning, but has a special meaning, that is, four words: the memory is still there: your memory is alive.
The third sentence: it's jackfruit. "
Analogy: it is the meaning of living. In other words, that's why it's called "the meaning of living", and it's called-
Memory is still there: your memory is still alive.
● Three words from King Alexander of Macedonia:
Sentence 1: I'm coming (I'm coming)
Since nature sent me to this world.
Sentence 2: I witnessed (I saw)
Now that I understand the general pattern of the world;
Sentence 3: I want to conquer.
Then, I will spare no effort to fight all my life.
(End)
For us laity, in this world, life is a journey in which we don't know where we are, and we don't know where we are when we die.
Therefore, everyone cried when they first set foot on the journey, and almost no one was laughing when they were dying.
People live for the journey they have to take. Even if you don't move your steps, you are still moving forward.
Because we have lived on the conveyor belt since the day we were born.
On this conveyor belt, all the people who are close to us are relatives and friends, and those who are far away from us are also past lives. It is not clear whether our past lives were also human beings.
On the high-speed conveyor belt, wind, frost, rain and snow are inevitable experiences. "Eat, drink and be merry is our instinct, we just need it. Only work can't help us, and love and interest are the driving forces to promote the development of human society.
The reincarnation of the conveyor belt does not mean that we will live forever, but if we are afraid of death, we will face the end of life sooner or later.
Therefore, people live in a helpless state to solve the major problem of death. However, in the end, death solved people's problems.
Taoist priests in Taoist temples and monks in temples meditate hard in order to be reborn, become immortal and become Buddha, get rid of the endless six divisions in the wheel of karma, leave the death of this life to themselves and the life of the next life to themselves.
To put it bluntly, whether you are a layman or a monk, when you are alive, whether you are extravagant or frugal, you are solving the problem of death. The difference is that the destination of rebirth after death will be different.
What do people live for?
I am glad to make an appointment to answer this question. What do people live for? Some people say that for ideals, dreams, money, interests, etc. I am an ordinary person, an ordinary person, just to live and live better.
People are a process of forgetting from birth, which is a natural law and no one can stop it. In this process, how to live is more meaningful, and how to live is worthy of this life. This is why we live.
I am a post-60 s, and I like painting since I was a child. Then you have no conditions and no chance. When I was young, I worked hard to earn money every day to support my family. A daughter went to college and became a glorious people's teacher after graduation. The second daughter went to junior high school and studied well. These two daughters are the meaning of my life. Now I'm retired. I paint and exercise every day. I have a dream. Ten years later, I will publish a book, and my sketches will be left to me.
Let my old age be more meaningful, which is why I am alive. The idea of an ordinary person is that innocence is enough in this life.
