The meaning of life


One day, I talked with our befriender about religion. She asked me what your meaning of life is. I thought for a while and said just having fun. She said is it superficial and shallow. Now, I want to say something to for myself.

First of all, if we live a suffering life rather than a happy life, we must regret when we are about to die. It is the happy life that we can really enjoy. In addition, people may say as a person, we must have some ambitions and some goals to follow, such as a large sum of money or high authority. Personally, I can hardly agree with it. Although there is no doubt we need some money to guarantee our life, we do not need to put too much burden on ourselves. Perhaps being satisfied is better for us. Besides, different people have different definition about joy. Just like kongzi, he liked to try his best to help the country become better, help the people live better life, while laozi preferred to ride a cattle in the countryside freely and enjoy the peaceful life. All of us should go after the ideal life we want instead of being influenced or bounded by others, just like Juexin in home, brave enough to pursue what he wanted.

However, having fun does not mean you can not care about others at all or even do harm to others. Think about it, if you hurt others, will you still be happy? Will you feel guilty about it? Furthermore, having fun does not mean you can do anything you want regardless of results like gambling. You may have fun at that moment when you gamble, but it is not permanent. When we choose what to do to have fun, we must think about what we can get and what it will cost so that we can make a more sensible choice.

In conclusion, having fun is my view to life. No matter what your view is, I hope all of you can achieve it.

  3. i think eveyone leads a different life and it is us who chose to live in that way. Everyone also have different goals when living in the world, and that's all fine. but I just want to say that what really matters is whether you are regret when you will leave the world one day. Since everyone only have one chance to live in the world, if we are satisfying with our life, i think we are brilliant. so just follow your heart, Tianya, don't let others to decide for you.

  4. I agree.And I think different people have their own pursuit depending on their experiences and their heart.Maybe it is the pursuit of satisfaction that is the key point to explain different living methods.All of us need to enjoy the moment now and do not let ourselves regret.

  5. i thought you were not such a person who had thought about this kind of question. it really surprised me. now that you have spoken out your view of life, i can share with you mine. actually, i have thought over this question for a long time. finally, i concluded that life was to do what i like to do. so now when i want to go downstairs to eat my fruit, i will go downstairs without hesitation. i am going downstairs...
