Why do people live? What is the ultimate meaning of living?
Why to live is the most important question in a person's life. Mencius once said that "people are different from animals". The basic needs of people and animals are survival and reproduction, but if we just stay here, we will lose the true meaning of being born as a human being. The most special thing about people is that they are good at thinking, so they will not stay in the stage of "pursuing aquatic plants", but know how to explore the mysteries of life and pursue their own continuous improvement and progress. Everyone's efforts and the collective progress of all mankind stem from the deep desire for continuous self-improvement. How to wake up and realize the greatest value of life is the mission of life. Buddhism provides such a path of enlightenment.

The meaning of human life is divided into three levels: first, as a natural biological level, it is a biological individual. "Eating habits are also", people eat alive and try to dress themselves up, just to get satisfied mating and reproduction objects, in order to provide future generations with superior and guaranteed living conditions as much as possible, to ensure the continuation of blood as much as possible, thus continuing mankind, that is, to keep the house;

Second, at the social level, people in society should complete the orderly extension of human society and biological society and ensure the establishment and improvement of the basic living conditions of the whole human race. People should undertake all kinds of social responsibilities and improve social functions, so as to ensure the rational operation of society, that is, to serve the country, so as to obtain enough materials and raise future generations (for this reason, we should constantly dress ourselves up through appearance, clothing, education, knowledge, ability and background, so as to improve our security in obtaining living environment and material sources).

Third, on the spiritual level, in order to achieve personal psychological sense of security, comfort, liberation, detachment and physical relative freedom, in order to obtain pleasure, satisfaction and relative superiority.

The meaning of human life should be developed from these three levels. Only in the first level, people will only be like animals, but they have the meaning of living. They are still making contributions to human biological reproduction, but their contribution is relatively low. This is the basic level of life, that is, the basic level. If we can't even do this well, there will be great contradictions and imbalances in the family, which will often bring misfortune, difficulties and twists and turns in family continuation. Where parents or families divorced from minor children disintegrate or commit suicide, there must be an adult who neglects his duty and gives up human biological significance. Insufficient protection of offspring is the behavior of lower organisms, and higher organisms have the obligation and responsibility to provide better growth environment for their children. If there is no good persistence at this level, it will lead to family tragedy. On the basis of maintaining the first meaning of life, everyone will participate in the learning and construction of the second meaning, that is, education and exercise at the social level, and continue to exercise, from kindergarten to university to independent participation in social construction activities, and start ordinary or great social behavior and labor value creation at different levels.

This is the most critical link. Individuals must participate in this system if they want to survive, unless the living environment is isolated. This level needs people's complex communication and teamwork, physical creation and benign system construction. The evolution of human history and spiritual and cultural system has developed in this way, forming a pyramid-like management form, maintaining a reasonable continuation of the first meaning and not being destroyed by foreign countries. All people involved in this process contribute to this process and get the reward of individual survival. The establishment of this system is very important for managing individuals, and a group, a country, even the whole human race and all biological genomes play a key role. Under this system, everyone has chosen the expression form and position of his role, which embodies different survival values and significance, but some people's roles may appear slowly or have no chance to show them for the time being.

In this process, there will be many behaviors that harm another individual or race in order to preserve the first value of the individual or race, which is contrary to the significance of the biological level and the social level, that is, anti-human, anti-racial and anti-biological universe behaviors are contrary to the code of conduct of human beings and the biological universe, and will be corrected by the forces that adhere to the right path of human progress.

The ultimate value of human beings is to complete the improvement of living conditions, self-perfection, the origin of biological reproduction and the exploration of natural organisms and the unknown environment of the universe, so as to preserve the self and the continuation of all biological genes in the universe and grow stronger. Therefore, in the process of progress, history has the wisdom and mechanism of self-correction, and any motivation that violates this value will be stopped and destroyed.

The third meaning must be based on the first two meanings, and it cannot be divorced from or violated. Most people in society can control and understand this kind of behavior well. However, in modern society, some education has misled some individuals about human biology and society. There is a wrong outlook on life in which love is supreme and spiritual value is higher than survival value.

Therefore, the meaning and appearance of human life is for the continuous innovation and optimization of society, and the essence is to create and guide the evolution direction of human beings and organisms, provide them with a direct development environment for reproduction and breakthrough innovation, and help all human beings, animals and plants-these biological organic universe individuals survive and continue. When the planet is facing disaster, destruction or extinction of all genes, human beings, as the most advanced creatures on the planet, have the responsibility to preserve all genes and life on the planet or take them to find a new planet to survive, so as to continue the organic universe, find the origin and ethnic groups of the biological universe, finally reveal the operating relationship between the organic universe and the inorganic universe, control or optimize the universe, and provide a better way of reproduction and living environment for the organic universe.

Some people say that living for human civilization. Compared with the universe, human beings can't be smaller. If there is heaven and hell, as long as it is not a great evil, we will be reborn sooner or later. If not, then we will die when we die, and no one can stop us. Some people say that we should continue human civilization. The universe is shrinking. Sooner or later, we will return to the singularity, and then everything will cease to exist and the universe will start again. It's only a matter of time. If there is a disaster, maybe humans will disappear like dinosaurs. Is it meaningful to live for human civilization? Sooner or later, it will become dust in the universe.

Some people say that for family and children. We can't live forever and our parents will die as early as their children. Your gene chain is just a kind of gene, which will mutate in the process of inheritance, so you won't inherit yourself. In front of countless human beings, sooner or later, a person with the same gene as you will appear because of mutation. Even better than you. So it doesn't make much sense for us to live for our children and families. Even without you, what should happen will still happen, and what should leave will leave. You can't stop anything. It won't change the passage of time.

Some people say that in order to explore the mysteries of the universe. The mystery of the universe is very complicated, not to mention whether what we know at present is correct or not. Exactly. So what? You can't change the trajectory of any universe. Just like a hamster in a pet cage, do you know what human beings can change by raising it? Just as we know that the Milky Way is rotating, we will know when we know it. Can you change it? Can't change it. Not to mention that human knowledge is limited, even if it is all known, it is useless.

People can't choose when they come to this world, nor can they choose when they leave this world. But how to take this road in life is a free space for you and me. If you want to shine in this part of your life, you have to work hard. You should repay the kindness of your parents, because they gave you life and raised you. You should thank your lover for his company, because he will accompany you through this life. You should give your children happiness and bring them up, because it is your responsibility. You should add a bright light to this society, because this society is wonderful with you!

I think the meaning of people living is not only to pursue their own prosperity, but also to consider the prosperity of others and other biological groups. Generally speaking, not only can we live well, but others can live well, and other animals, plants and microorganisms can live well and get along well, which is to balance the earth's ecology. Try to improve your life. When you have great ability, you should consider helping others to improve, but you should also pay attention to protecting other creatures, protecting the environment, and let the whole biological population live its life and give full play to its light. This is the ultimate meaning of human life and the value of life.
