The meaning of life is a philosophical question, and it is also a problem that many people have been thinking about all their lives.
Many philosophers believe that the meaning of life is a false proposition, and in the end, it will be found that life may not be meaningful, and life itself is meaning.
For many ordinary people, being born and living is the meaning of life, and this life may not covet anything, and it is already a great blessing to be able to live a peaceful and healthy life for a lifetime.
For people with lofty ideals, this life must have merit and fame to be meaningful, otherwise it is a vain walk in this world.
In fact, on this issue, Mr. Yang Dai has long explored in her book "Walking to the Edge of Life".
Mr. Yang Dai has a smooth and happy life, or a super-old man, coupled with her life experience and wisdom, she should be more qualified to talk about this issue.
In Mr. Yang Chen's view, from birth, people are undergoing various tests, so the direction of everyone's fate is closely related to the tests he faces.
If a person lives a carefree life and is treated kindly throughout his life, then the probability of him becoming a good person will be much greater. On the contrary, if a person comes from a humble background, lives in an environment of social tension, and lacks material conditions, then he should also be understood to slide into the abyss of life.
She wrote in "Walking to the Edge of Life":
"I'm standing on the edge of life looking back, looking forward. Looking backwards, people live a lifetime to explore the value of life. Looking ahead, my body is gone, my soul is gone? ”
This sentence actually speaks to a question in the hearts of many people: what is the real sense of disappearance?
In medicine, a person's death means that the person has disappeared from the world. But from a philosophical point of view, as long as this person remembers, then he has not disappeared, and forgetting is the real sense of disappearance.
However, in Mr. Yang Chen's view, being remembered does not have to be famous for eternity, what great achievements are successful, even if it is an ordinary person, there is no major achievement in this life, but he will focus on living his life, and after death, there will still be people who love him who will always remember him, which is also a meaning.
In the final analysis, Mr. Yang Dai believes that the real purpose of a person's life is inseparable from these two things: to explore the value of one's own life and to find the value of one's own inner soul.
One: We must have enough faith to explore the value of life
In the book "Walking to the Edge of Life", Mr. Yang Dai wrote such a sentence: People have faith to be valuable.
Indeed, the value of each person is not reflected in the external value he has created, but in whether he has faith in his heart.
People with faith have their own life plans and goals, and they clearly and firmly understand what they are doing and what they want to do, and they will never go with the flow.
People who lack faith in their hearts always live a confused life, holding an attitude of getting by every day, and they will also look forward to tomorrow, but they do not know when their tomorrow will come.
Second: The pursuit of one's own soul is the indelible meaning
The body will age and disappear one day, but the soul will always exist, which is a existence beyond life and death.
The daily rush of all sentient beings is to give preferential treatment to their own flesh, to save themselves from displacement, to seek stability, and to live a happy life.
Over time, many people forget that they still have a soul that has nowhere to live.
Some people still feel that life is very empty after the satisfaction of physical pleasure, can not find the meaning of their existence, and even often feel pain.
This kind of moment, in fact, is your own soul began to clamor, when paying attention to the body, don't forget to take care of your soul.
Mr. Yang Dai's life principle has always been that the nobility of the soul is better than the nobility of the body. She has read a lot of books all her life, and the essence of the books has been turned into the nourishment of her soul, and her soul has become full and plump day by day.
As for the material aspect of life, she did not have too high requirements, and the inner wealth was more important to her.
Mr. Yang rarely attends his own book signings, which is completely different from many writers.
For writers, the sale of new books is directly related to their income, but also a large part of the source of livelihood, every new book sale day, writers will try their best to make their book sales more popular.
But Yang Dai believes that her job is to write books, she loves to write, through the process of writing, she has forged her soul, but also got what she wants.
As for how much the new book can sell, that is a businessman's business, and he doesn't want to participate too much.
Mr. Yang Dai let us see that a person who is rich in heart, the soul is noble, they do not need external material conditions to prove themselves, they are just talking to their soul.
Her book "Walking to the Edge of Life" has a lot of her own summary of her own thinking about life, which can be said to collect the essence of her wisdom for more than a hundred years, which is worth everyone to read carefully.
Perhaps after reading it, you will find that the ultimate meaning of life is hidden in her life perception.
