What is the point of people living?
Rich people say, "Having money can make ghosts grind." ”
The poet said: "Two feet on the earthly road, one shoulder to bear the sorrows of the past and the present." ”
The farmer said: "Facing the loess with your back to the sky, you can't idle in the twilight." ”
Writer Yu Hua said: "The writing process made me understand that people live for the sake of living itself, not for things other than living. ”
People, always have to experience some special things, to a certain age, will understand that living is a meaningless thing, everything is "life does not bring, death does not take away." But we still have to live well, for nothing else, but for ourselves.

What do people cling to in this life?
There is a word called "born to die." That is to say, from birth, people are "homecoming", and every day after that, they will be closer to the terminal station.
Everyone understands the truth, but there are very few people who can always be calm.
There is a very intelligent young man who wants to be better than others everywhere, so he lives "very unconvinced" every day.
One day, he asked a master for advice.
The master said, "Come, let's climb the mountain together." ”
Along the way, the master asked the young man to pick up the crystal clear stones and put them in the bags he carried with him. Each stone represents a little wisdom.
Halfway up the mountainside, the young man finally couldn't hold back and said breathlessly, "I'm afraid I can't walk." ”
The master smiled slightly, "It's time to put it down, or how can I get to the top of the mountain?" ”
If the young man has some understanding. Since then, it is no longer competitive.
Even wisdom can make people feel very tired, not to mention money, houses, cars, and feelings.
Schopenhauer said: "Life is a lump of desire, and if desire is not satisfied, it is painful, and if it is satisfied, it is boring." Life oscillates between pain and boredom. ”
All the attachments in life are meaningless. What needs to be done is to "give and give, and throw while walking."
The reason why we live very unhappy is not to get too little, on the contrary, to get too much, plus a lot of "obsession".
Put it down, you will be much more comfortable, even if you have empty hands, it does not matter.

How should people spend this life?
Paul Kochakin said: "The most precious thing of man is life, and life belongs to man only once." A person's life should be lived in such a way that when he looks back on the past, he will not regret his wasted years, nor will he be ashamed of his inaction. ”
Many people think that life is meaningless, so they are willing to fight against the clock for a day as a monk, shake off their lives, and are no longer willing to struggle.
In fact, three meals a day, having children, supporting parents, caring for society, paying attention to others, focusing on ideals... Refine life into many things, little by little to do well, then life will become full, and the brilliance of human nature will be brighter.
Paul Kochakin, a fictional character, was born into a poor family and whose father died prematurely. He used to work as a handyman in the station cafeteria and was blinded.
Later, he devoted his best youth to the work of restoring and building the country. In his later years, he was paralyzed and blind, but while he struggled with illness, he insisted on writing, and his life came out of the trough again.
No matter what, insist on living, but also share their own beauty with others, such a way of living, life will not be wasted.

What can a person leave behind in this life?
In the novel "Alive", it is said: "Cry in the way of laughter, live in the company of death." ”
When you go out laughing every day, you will find that everywhere the sun is shining, everyone is smiling, and the whole world is a scenery. You can't take the scenery with you, but you can keep the scenery in your heart.
When you insist on waking up others, the people around you will be grateful to you and be friends with you. When you are old, there are still people who care about you every three to five minutes, and warmth can awaken a person's spirit.
When you desperately provide for your children, you leave behind a true feeling that cannot be returned. But you can imagine that your children will pass on this true feeling to your grandchildren. Endlessly alive and passed down from generation to generation, it's a great atmosphere for a family.
When you give your money and material goods to those who need it, you become particularly noble. Your life has become an example for the world.
There's a saying that goes, "Some people are dead, he's alive." ”
It turns out that a person's spirit can last forever and has been "living".
05
What have been lost in this life?
There is a saying in "Alive": "When people are old, they are also people, and if they are people, they must be cleaner." ”
When we first came into the world, we were naked and naked. Later, we worked hard and got a lot of things. However, in old age, I can't get anything, and I have to keep spending the "old book".
The seemingly cruel reality tells us a truth - even if we hug tightly, we can't leave what we get, so it is better to let go and return to the origin of life.
Since you have gained nothing, there is no talk of loss; since you have lost and do not care, then you have a free life; since you are free, you have achieved your true self.
Fate sometimes has to have it, and fate must not demand it at any time. In life, there are too many "dooms", then you don't have to worry, step by step. Go with the flow and be at ease.
06
External objects are used to achieve oneself, not to suppress and control oneself.
When people are old, all attachment is actually a kind of internal friction. Knowing how to let go, learning to cherish everything you have in the moment, and not losing your nature is truly transparent.
Giving away and getting are contradictory, but they can also be converted into each other.
Life is between trade-offs. There is nothing that can make a person who is willing to live well be very miserable; there is no thing that can save a person who does not want to live.
Give up the nothingness, be the true self, the vicissitudes of the world, and move forward with determination.
Letting go of meaning is also meaning.
