#人生的意义是否在于影响他人? #
In the face of the vast universe, we can't help but ask: What is the meaning of life? What is the meaning of living? Life is only 100 years old, and we are a speck of dust in the universe.
As far as the eye can see, there are people everywhere who are frowning and looking down at their phones, hurrying to their own lives. A long time ago, we deviated from the original meaning of happiness. Life is stressful, with heavy jobs, heavy mortgages, having a wife and children, supporting a family, dealing with hypocritical comparisons between relatives, friends and colleagues, jealousy and complicated interpersonal relationships. At the end of the day, it's all about making money.
It is true that the operation of money has promoted the cultural progress of mankind, but today, money has become a bondage, allowing some people to live in the world in order to earn money, to make more money. It's sad to think of money as faith. The original purpose of civilization was not to obtain more benefits, but to enable everyone to live the life they wanted.
But, it seems, our lives are determined by a pattern in which all people live in the same way – born, go to school, work, get married, have children, raise children, and then leave alone. From the moment a person is born, his fate is doomed. "Man is thrown into this world", but human beings do not have the power to "plan themselves" like Heidegger, they live in a "sinking state", losing their freedom and personality.
Under the influence of capital and the media, people are bound by a new set of values, their greed for resources and their endless pursuit of wealth. It is certainly a glory to be rich and rival the country, but is it not a luxury to be able to eat and drink enough? Most people are mediocre, but this does not mean that they are incapable. Some people are rich and wealthy in life, but they are not necessarily happy.
For most people, they don't know what happiness is. True happiness is the freedom and indifference from the heart, not being swayed by others, not being swayed by the world, only thinking in one's own heart. For a person to live a wonderful life, he must be true to himself.
However, in this era, people's life is too fast-paced, too stressful, comparison and jealousy between people, and intemperance of the body, which have long been contrary to the original intention of happiness. We are always desperately chasing what we have not yet gotten and unfortunately, we miss the most precious moment.
Whether you admit it or not, in 10,000 years, all traces of human existence will be gone. No matter what great things you have done, whether you are rich or poor, everything will disappear forever. As if it never existed. When you look up at the sky and feel the vastness of the universe, you will feel that the gap between people is too big.
It is only when we are on the verge of death that we can realize that spiritual richness is far more precious than material richness. Our subjective blind pursuit of wealth does not actually mean anything, it has no value, it is only a temporary way to survive.
When we are about to leave this world, everything and money are all floating clouds, and you can't take them away. All you can take with you is your spirit, your faith.
This is the search for the philosophy of life, and only philosophy can enable people to obtain rich spiritual wealth.
