What is the meaning of life, and what is happiness? You may have thought about this question hundreds of times, but have you come up with the final answer? Is it love, career, money or power that we think about day and night? I think most people are blind.

Since we were born, it seems that we have started our own race, and we run forward as hard as we can. When I was in school, I compared my grades. I worked hard for the college entrance examination for 18 years. When I was working, I compared my performance. After I got married, I compared my family, house, and car. Even after death, we have to compare whose cemetery is more prosperous. Is this life just for comparison and survival?

We think that having money and living better than others is the happiness we want. But on the road to pursuing happiness, we are getting further and further away from true happiness.

I live under heavy pressure every day. One burden has just ended, and another burden has appeared. It seems that the happiest time of the day is sitting in the car smoking a cigarette on the crowded road home, enjoying this brief time to myself. Escape from a family where work is on one side and daily necessities on the other side.

Everyone is coming and going in a hurry, living more and more painfully in the heavy work, heavy mortgages, car loans, huge life pressure, scary diseases, they Those who are pressed can hardly breathe.

But in the final analysis, these are all for one word, and that is money. Is money really so important?

Macroscopically the entire human civilization. Money, from the moment it was born, has driven the development of society at a high speed. From commercial civilization to later global trade, money has become more and more important.

It seems that the only purpose of each of us living is to make money, make more money, and then compare ourselves with everyone else, and say to them: Look, I have more money than you, and I live better than you. Got better.

This is really an extremely sad thing. In fact, the original intention of civilization development is not to obtain more benefits, but to live better in the way you want. .

The meaning of life is described in the book "Human Weakness": Happiness is being able to do what you want to do according to your own will. It is a kind of indifference that comes from the heart. It is not affected by others or disturbed by the environment, and can calm down and do what you want to do.

According to the law of entropy increase, people will eventually turn into dust. From being born to going to school, from working to getting married, to raising children, getting married, growing old, and finally leaving, it only takes a short period of a hundred years. Everyone wants to live a better life, which is a manifestation of human nature and instinct.

However, most people define living well as having more money. Yes, being extremely rich is indeed a kind of life, but just having enough food and clothing is not a kind of life?

It is because of our increasingly blind comparison that we constantly overdraw our bodies to earn the so-called money. It is also the kind of ideals and beliefs that drive yourself to achieve great things and do the big things you want to do in your heart.

Although no matter what you choose, it is your life, but sometimes, such choices will make us farther and farther away from happiness

Most people cannot feel the meaning of life. In fact, it’s just that too often we pursue what we don’t have, and ignore what we have already obtained, and ignore some of the most precious moments of the moment. When you learn to savor it carefully, I think, the meaning of life is significance. You've just found it.

The last thing I want to say is, whether you believe it or not, in hundreds of millions of years, all traces of human civilization will be erased. No matter how brilliant achievements you have made, you still spend your life doing nothing. Whether you are a great man, a leader, or a rich man with endless wealth.

We will all disappear completely from the traces of the universe, just like we have never appeared in the universe. Perhaps human civilization is very long, but it is only a short moment in the universe, and Each of us is just a part of a short moment.

"The Weakness of Human Nature" also describes the following truth: Only by facing death calmly can we understand the true meaning of life. Because only when a person is infinitely close to death can he understand that spiritual wealth is far more precious than material accumulation.

Houses and cars according to our subjective wishes actually have no meaning. The money we desperately pursue is nothing more than a piece of paper after it leaves human society.

Perhaps only one person, when he is about to leave this world, will realize that those materials and money are not so important. What we can finally take away with our consciousness and faith, and eternity Indelible soul and memories.

Through human nature itself, it is not difficult to find that the meaning of life is very simple, but also extremely complex. It comes from our lives affected by the environment and our inner activities, using the most essential thinking Looking at the meaning of life, maybe it is every moment when you laugh from the bottom of your heart.
