people live and work all their lives, but what else?
from birth to the day of death, people have brought nothing with them, and they are still empty. What is it for? Can't you escape death? According to my personal observation, for most people in the world, life is meaningless and worthless. They never consider such philosophical questions. When I'm lucky, I'm full of money, having two food cities during the day and a trip to karaoke at night, playing a little politics, playing a little cleverness, even being arrogant, bossy, groggy, and confused, and I don't understand why I live this life until I get into the urn. The unlucky ones are down and out, running around for food and clothing all day, frowning and sighing. Even if the days are passable, I don't worry about food and clothing, but I am busy all day, trapped in the reins of fame and tied to the lock. I am also groggy and confused, and I don't know why I live this life. Where can we talk about the meaning and value of life for such a large number of people? I myself belong to the ranks of all sentient beings, and I am inevitably confused, and I am not a bit taller than anyone else. If you want to find a little difference, there is: I, of course, and some other people, have some ideas about life, have used their brains a little, and think that these ideas are reasonable. Ji Xianlin: What is the meaning of life? This seems to have become an eternal proposition. Everyone often thinks of this never-answered proposition inadvertently or in loneliness. Many of us have the same mental journey. In fact, although this proposition is somewhat nihilistic, once we don't understand it or find a reason to convince ourselves, it will haunt us for a long time, and even make those paranoid people embark on another road. In rational understanding, the meaning of life comes from what one sees and thinks; In perceptual knowledge, everything depends on the experience of the soul and the richness of emotions. But at the same time, it is not only an experience, but more importantly, it affects the way of thinking. Life may be a process: experience-accumulation-thinking. When you get used to this lifestyle, the only thing that lasts forever is thinking. At the same time, thinking is also a gradual process. It also needs a negative-positive-negative-circle process, and it also needs to go through a process of ideological confusion, gradually moving towards clarification, then moving towards it, and finally establishing its own thinking mode. This requires not only time, but also persistent accumulation and courage. Not everyone has such a will, and not everyone can enjoy this life. The meaning of life may be different for everyone. I think it is the whole meaning of life to try to live and enjoy life. Questioning the meaning of life is the inevitable torture of every thoughtful living body on its own soul. "What is the meaning of life?" "What are you living for?" We set out with such a dignified question, but most of them are "life is beautiful, and the meaning of life lies in love!" This kind of light and gorgeous language, shallow and useless simple preaching. The unique characteristics make everyone different and make everyone's existence meaningful, which is closely related to creative work and human love. "A person can't look for the abstract meaning of life. Everyone has his own special vocation or mission, and this mission needs to be realized concretely. His life cannot be repeated or replaced. Therefore, everyone is unique, and only he has a special opportunity to complete his unique talent mission. " "Once a person understands that his position is irreplaceable, it is naturally easy to do his best to take the greatest responsibility for his own existence. As long as he knows that he has the responsibility to take good care of himself for some unfinished work or someone who is looking forward to his early return, he will certainly not abandon his life. " Whenever I see such a paragraph, I can't help but feel sorry for those "sad people" and those who are suicidal. As long as there is a "will to seek meaning", not only life and love, but also "suffering" and "pain" are of great significance. There are many different opinions about the meaning of life. Everyone has their own opinions, but in the end, they have to feel and experience for themselves. What others say can only be a reference. "Life is not long, as long as it is meaningful." Ten years, twenty years ... fifty years, or even a mediocre and timid life, is not as good as a meaningful life in a year, a month or even a day. As long as life has once shone, it is worth living, and life and death are irrelevant. There is basically no difference between people who live to be a hundred years old and those who only live to be thirty or twenty years old. Although, the former lived for decades, the latter lived for decades; However, this is only people's conceptual feeling and persistence. For those who know the meaning of life and know the true meaning of the universe, the length of existence is no longer regrettable. Time is eternity, and it is the same to live to a hundred years old as to live only to twenty years old. Ten thousand years is a year, and a year exists in ten thousand years. People think that without the ever-changing time, there is no eternal existence, which is wrong. Eternity exists in time. Without impermanent time, there is no eternal existence. So, as long as you create eternity and elevate your life to the eternal realm, what does it matter whether your life is long or short? As long as you live meaningfully, life will be close to eternity, not just a few decades. How can we live a meaningful life? In the short term, life is inseparable from work, so if you want to live meaningfully, you must engage in meaningful work. What is a meaningful job? It is a work that pays and meets spiritual requirements. What belongs to dedication is to do work that is beneficial to mankind, the country, society and all living things. There are a lot of these jobs all over the world, and what is waiting for us to do in line with spiritual requirements is to pursue perfection and live in reality. Look! In order to pursue the perfection of art, artists can sacrifice material enjoyment and be willing to associate with poverty. For the perfection of an article, writers do not hesitate to revise and copy it again and again. Singers have practiced it many times in private in order to sing a song perfectly. There are also many people in all walks of life, who are also doing their jobs in the same way. Not only do they have no complaints, but they are also full of joy; Because they feel that the work they have done is meaningful. When they work wholeheartedly for others or their own spirituality, they no longer feel the existence of time-time has stopped; I don't know how old I am-how long is life? Isn't this eternity? As for living in reality, this is the highest realm of life and the eternal realm. What is truth? Truth is not false or hypocritical; Reality is reality, and I don't want to do anything wrong. In other words: this is a state of not lying, not pretending, not violating conscience, and acting purely on the mind. Because you don't cheat, your own advantages and disadvantages are clear at a glance, so you can be neither conceited nor inferior. Because I don't think too much, I can be content with the Tao and be content with it. Because I don't violate my conscience, I don't care, and every day is a good day. The most important thing is: follow your heart, do what you should do, and stop what you shouldn't do; Therefore, there is no delusion or worry. This kind of life has gone beyond the meaning, and the meaning is in it. In a word, people who can live completely in reality will no longer be ordinary people, but extraordinary saints. When others say that happy people are those who have achieved their survival goals. We may also want to say that people who have achieved their survival goals don't have to have other purposes except to continue to live. In other words, he is satisfied. The solution to the problem of life lies in the disappearance of this problem ... But, for a person, what is no longer a problem, is it possible to live like this? Does this mean that this person lives in eternity, not in time? Is this the reason why those who finally understand the meaning of life after a long period of confusion can't tell what the meaning is? (Wittgenstein) I am not sure whether the meaning of life exists in essence. However, I think even so, we can still make ourselves get a meaningful life. To a great extent, the question about the meaning of life stems from our own constant exploration. Does life itself have meaning? How to get a meaningful path in life? What is the meaning of life? Does it make us discover or create something? How does she rely on purpose, value and idea? What does it have to do with happiness? It will give people confidence. Enable men and women to face their confusion bravely? Most people don't think about these problems, but as long as they are happy, that's good. Once these questions are considered, confusion will follow. Freud believed that once people thought about these problems, they began to suffer from mental illness. However, I still want to say that by studying these problems, we may be able to construct an outline of our thoughts and get a life worth living. From the perspective of western philosophy, traditional philosophy mostly answers this question from a theological point of view. Can things exist as they are? Is there a quasi-human mild purpose in the universe? This is a question that theology needs to answer. Most people who believe in the existence of God need to convince themselves that there is a perfect will in the universe, that there is a basic sympathy for us and what we think is valuable in the world, and that there is an ultimate support and refuge for our ideals and aspirations. These people mainly hope that they can confirm that there is a force beyond our human level that can but cannot be controlled by human beings, that everything can be explained-if our intelligence can understand its essence-that this force has a purpose, and we can regard it as perfect value. As for whether there is such a transcendental purpose beyond the universal life, I refuse to discuss it here. I only say that it is not something I can understand, and I can only doubt it. Whether the universe is meaningful or not can be discovered by us, the world in which meaning can be embodied can only be the world in which we live. In this world, we can often see that meanings have been created. No matter whether these meanings are ultimate or not, we don't care whether there is a transcendental single meaning of life. Let's first look at how the meaning in life is required and given. As Simon Bova said, "the existence of meaning is ambiguous, and it is by no means static. It should be said that the meaning of life is constantly contested." Therefore, we can realize that we create meaning for ourselves, and we don't need others or any objective and clear standards to tell us what meaning is, nor do we need others or any standards to decide how we should create meaning. What do people live for? Experience life. Whether it is pain, happiness, disease, health or despair, struggle, peace and happiness, it is a kind of growth of human beings, and it is an arduous growth. We have strength and resources, so why not use them to make our life more meaningful? In this way, before you know it, you will get the wisdom to experience life and the coldness of the world. Go forward actively and bravely. No one can stop you. Your biggest enemy is yourself, so don't dream about what you live for, but practice the feeling of life! I think the reason why people can be born is that God gives you a chance to feel the world and live a life that belongs to you. Just look at your name and you will know that you are quite confused. In fact, since you have been born, just follow your life. For example, you saw my answer today because you are a living person, have your own set of ideas and have a unique position. Think again about who you can afford if you die. First of all, you are sorry for what the world gave you. I'm sorry for my parents again. I don't know how to say it. I'll post some famous articles to you to see if it can inspire you. I've seen many people ask such questions on Baidu Know, and I think it's necessary to ask them, but I can't think too much. It's not good to think too much. Okay, stop talking and see for yourself! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Why do people live? This is an older problem than the previous year. First of all, the problem itself has a problem! Simple grammatical ambiguity: why do people live and why do people live. It can also be said that one is meaning and the other is purpose. The so-called meaning should be objective and natural. I'm talking about human beings, not a certain person, so the so-called dedication theory doesn't make sense. For the vast and eternal universe, human beings are not even rubbish. Humans just live for themselves. When we say that protecting the environment is just protecting the environment suitable for their own survival. With the development of science and the breakthrough of evolution theory, human beings have become more and more aware of their position-the product of nature. You didn't decide to come into this world by yourself, not even when you left this world. Human beings are small, at best, they are just a trivial part in the metabolism of the universe. Is there a difference between the meaning of sesame seeds and rice grains? This is not pessimism, as it is. But on the other hand, other parts of the world are equally ordinary, and people are still the spirit of everything. You must not like to hear that you are "inferior to pigs and dogs", which is enough to make people proud. Natural selection, survival of the fittest, at least on the earth, human beings are the hegemon of everything. A single person is even less meaningful from the macro point of view. We exist naturally, although it is meaningless, but survival is our right, at least no one has the right to deprive us of this right. If it is meaningful, it should mean relative meaning, and it is to create meaning instead of looking for meaning. On a small scale, we repay our parents, raise our children and delight others; On a large scale, we may have helped some people, contributed to society and contributed to human development, thus going down in history. This is also the mainstream consciousness of society. But I want to emphasize that people don't have any obligation. You can choose to do nothing if you can survive. The reason why we hope to do better is nothing more than to live better and better. And this is our purpose. Life is human existence, all for survival (Darwinian language), better survival. The most fundamental nature of human beings is not good and evil, but the pursuit of happiness and avoidance of pain. This is natural selection, and it seems that no living thing will be an exception. Looking back at this question, you won't be surprised that people live seriously, but they can't answer the question "why do people live?" Because everything is natural, who is not moving closer to happiness when he is alive? I remember that the mantra of "Detective Hunter" (an old American film) is "God arranged it", and I think this is also a good American humorous answer. Of course, the God of mankind is nature. Here I would like to emphasize that one word is "justice". The so-called justice is right and conforms to the laws of nature. Selfless dedication and selfishness are not natural outlook on life. Why? Because people's knowledge and ability are limited, people's feelings and feelings are real. Who wants to give nothing and live a life that is worse than death? On the contrary, as a conscious human being, it is appreciated, and the behavior of harming others and benefiting themselves will eventually be suffered. Therefore, the argument of the ancients "cultivate one's morality, keep one's family in order, govern the country and secure the world" is realistic and wise. According to the principle of maximizing happiness, you will be happier if you can bring happiness to more people, but only if you have this ability first. Who is happy, the music of many or the music of one? Maybe one
