Is life really valuable?
What is man living for?
What is the pursuit of people in this life?
To be honest, in fact, our lives are worthless. At least to a certain extent, the average person's life, in addition to trying to make money and trying to repay the mortgage, the rest of the life value is almost close to zero.
In Schopenhauer's view, life is a pendulum, boring when desire is satisfied, and painful when desire is difficult to satisfy. As a result, most people are torn between the cycle of "boredom-pain".
In Yu Hua's view, life is originally worthless, just to live for the sake of "living", not for the purpose of "living".
The only thing we can do is to understand what we are living for, so that we will not be confused and have nothing to gain for the rest of our lives.
However, everything we can get is just "a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water". When the day comes, no one can take everything with them, and no one can live forever.
There is a truth, we must understand that life, there is no value. The so-called "life does not bring, death does not bring." In this way, we do not have to be too attached to everything in life.
Seeing through is the truth.

An 80-year-old man sighed that life is worthless, so why do you have to live in pain?
Zhang Dabo is a person who is extremely unbeatable. Especially when encountering problems, I always like to frown and even act extremely. Therefore, he did not live happily all his life.
When I was young, because everyone ate a big pot of rice, the gap between people was not large. However, after he became middle-aged, everything changed, which made it particularly difficult for him to accept.
He himself was still a farmer, and some of his siblings had gone to the city to open factories, which made him feel so miserable that he had suffered from depression and irritability.
Later, as he grew older, his temper slowly changed and his temperament became milder. At that time, he recalled the first half of his life, and then suddenly realized that he had tangled so much, was it really meaningful?
Life, but a few decades of time, hurriedly come, hurry away, no matter how unhappy, how unhappy, how much pressure, then we will eventually have the day to leave. So, why can't we just go for a walk?
Others are better than ourselves, that is someone else's problem, we just need to live our own lives.
Before his death, 80-year-old Zhang Dabo said this to his children and grandchildren: "If I can choose, I would rather live a little more thoroughly in this life, and I will not take too many detours and have too many regrets." ”
Perhaps, what is really meaningless is not a natural life, but a life that has been modified by us and is self-seeking.

When it comes to the topic of "life has no meaning", I can't help but think of such a thing.
Some time ago, someone in the next neighborhood jumped from more than a dozen floors and left on the spot, which was particularly tragic. He, on the other hand, left only a heartbroken wife and a particularly young child.
Why would he do such a thing? Because he could not withstand a monthly mortgage of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, he thought that this reinforced concrete bound his life. Therefore, he chose to end his life.
Perhaps, as outsiders, we would find his act of ending his life particularly stupid. But what we don't know is that he, an outsider, spent millions of dollars to make a down payment in order to settle in a first-tier city, for a house with an actual area of less than 80 square meters, and then it took twenty years to pay close to twenty or thirty thousand a month's loan.
Most people are bound by mortgages for a lifetime. The house bought 15 years ago is fine, and the house bought 15 years later, the price of the mortgage is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Perhaps, if the above-mentioned person who has returned to his hometown chooses to return to his hometown to develop and does not carry it hard in the big city, then his life results will be very different.
However, without the suffering of others, hughes others to be good.
When a person is bound by something and cannot even see hope, then his life is not worthless?

Why does Yu Hua think that "people should live for the sake of living, not for things other than living"?
This is not to say that human life is meaningless, but to say that wasting one's life for unnecessary things is indeed a manifestation of tragedy.
To be alive, you only need to eat well, sleep well, live comfortably, and that's it. Why do we have to struggle so much?
Some people feel that I want to buy a house in a first-tier city.
Some people feel that I want to get rich in first-tier cities.
Some people feel that I hope to have a car and a house in this life.
Does this really make sense? It can be said that your house, your car, all this can not be taken away after all. More importantly, if you don't have the ability and need to spend most of your life repaying the loan, aren't you living unhappily?
To put it realistically, the money you have worked so hard to earn, you are reluctant to spend, and even gave it to the developer, or gave the hole of "loan", then your life is indeed helpless.
People live for a lifetime, just to live happily. There is no need to dwell too much, there is no need to be happy or sad for unnecessary things. As big as your head is, you can wear as big a hat as you want. Life is very real and very realistic.
That's all.
