People often like to ask: Is there a purpose in life? Does it make sense? I wonder if the students have thought about this kind of question? If you've thought about it, what's the answer?
If you had thought about it, it would have been easier for me to talk about it, and you would have understood My Words more easily.
I thought that life is not easy to say the purpose, because the purpose is something that comes later. We must first know what purpose is.
For example, we came to Xing'an this time to see the spiritual canal, and if we go to Xing'an and do not see the spiritual canal, then we can say that we have not achieved our goal.
If the meaning of the purpose is so, then life has no purpose, the car to Xing'an is the means, the spiritual canal is the end, and such a purpose and means are separated, which is the constant action of life.
But although it can be said that way, the whole life cannot be said like this, the whole universe is gradually developing, the heavens, the earth, the mountains, the water, all kinds of creatures, all kinds of slowly unfolding, and finally there are human beings, there is me.
Man is born, just as all things are born of nature. Rain, water, warblers, grass growth, all go with nature and have no purpose.
I didn't know, but I already had me. At this time, the question is asked, "Why did the fruit of life come?" or "Why am I here?" "It's late.
If after some thought, a purpose is decided, it is not enough, the above is to say that life is not good to say that there is a purpose, is the first paragraph.
Although life is not easy to say that there is a purpose, it is not impossible to say that life has its meaning, where is the meaning of life? The meaning of life is in creation!
The meaning of life is created, and it is compared with man in all things.
The universe is a great life, from ancient times to the present continuous creation, the renovation of tricks to create a variety of large worlds, which from the history of biological evolution to the history of human culture has been played out without stopping.
But now, it is only human beings who represent the great life of the universe who express its creative spirit, and the rest of the animal and plant kingdoms have become stereotyped articles and cannot move forward.
For example, rice is ripe once or twice a year, raw, ripe, and gone, every year, and from generation to generation. Another example is the bird and the finch, the old bird gives birth to the little bird,
The life of the little bird is still the same as that of the old bird, not like a creative article, but like a stereotyped article. Yi Zheng and the cow and horse who were pushing and grinding walked all day long, but turned around, and finally it was the original place, and there was no progress.
In short, it is man who uses his mind to transform nature for his application, and the organization of relations between the crowds moves with it, with the former generation passing on to the next generation, and the next generation having to make new inventions without having to go the same.
Accumulated before and after, there is today's political and economic cultural relics system. In the future, there will be a new culture and new life that we cannot see and know.
In this way, we say that the meaning of life is in creation, and the trend of the creation of infinite life in the universe has disappeared in terms of animals and plants, and now it is all up to human culture to express it. It is the second paragraph.
Why can humans create, and why can't other creatures? That is because human beings will use their minds, while all other creatures will not use their minds.
The meaning of life lies in the fact that he will create with his mind; if a human being does not have a mind, he will fail to live life, and if he does not create, he will be born in vain. So we should always remind ourselves that we must use our minds to create.
There is no strict boundary between what is created and what is not created.
A new invention by a scientist is certainly a creation, and a new work by a writer is certainly a creation, but in fact, a primary school student who carefully learns to write a manual or sentence composition can not be created.
For example, the Spirit Canal is the result of a lot of thought, but in a small way, every thought and hand in the process is also creation. Whether it is created or not depends on whether it is with the mind; with the mind, it is the creation.
There are two aspects of creation, one is expressed on the outside, such as the spiritual canal is a very significant creation, such as writing and painting, political deeds, all kinds of creations are also the same creation.
In this regard of creation, we can borrow the words of the ancients to call it "finished things". There is also a kind of creation in a person's life that is not easy to see from the outside.
For example, a person's understanding and mastery or a person's virtue, his creation is not manifested in external things, but in his own life. The creation of this side, we can also use the words of the ancients to name it, the name of "becoming oneself."
In other words, some people have achieved more outside, and some people have achieved more inside. The achievements of this, such as mastery, dexterity, integrity, light, bravery, and so on, are endless.
But in detail, those who become things also become themselves, just as an academic work is a thing, and the intellectual knowledge of the scholar himself is to become himself; the merit of the politician is to become a thing, and the politician's own skill and personality are to become himself.
On the contrary, he who becomes himself also becomes a thing. For example, a person who has a good moral cultivation is a self, and his actions toward others and things cannot be a thing.
First of all, we must know what era we were born into, and we were born in a special era, an era of great change.
As far as mankind as a whole is concerned, it is in an era of unprecedented great changes in human history, and it can also be said that culture needs to be greatly transformed.
As far as China is concerned, thousands of years of old culture have been passed down to nearly a hundred years, because the invasion of Western culture is making our thousands of years old culture have to be transformed.
It can also be said that you must create with your heart. We must use our hearts to open up a future for the nation and for mankind, and create a new culture.
