Chapter 5 Email to L 1: Why do people live?

After such a long time, I estimate that some questions you only think of asking when it is difficult, just like the stupid world, when you encounter difficulties, you only think of burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, if there is nothing difficult in the world, you are afraid that the temple and the front of the Taoist temple will become barren. The topic is far away, and maybe you don't want the answer anymore, but I decided to talk about why people live.

First of all, there is a problem with this question itself, we don't live for anything, we survived first, our parents gave birth to us without our consent, and then we are hungry and hungry to eat, full and sleep, and after the chaotic infant and toddler period, this kind of life is lucky or unlucky, we have no right to evaluate, after all, we have no memory during that period (I found that my memories before I went to elementary school are all vague, only a few things I remember), but, for me, I feel that it is a " Stupid happiness", in this world, only fools can be happy, foolish people have stupid blessings, what is said is that they have no consciousness, do not think about tomorrow, do not cling to the past, this kind of happiness, are you willing to want? Surely not, besides, most of them are a burden to their families, and without the care of their families, they may starve to death, and they may get a foul smell...... We can't enjoy this kind of blessing. Therefore, because we have normal intelligence and convenient hands and feet, we will use our hands and brains to stand on our own and support ourselves (huh?). It seems that we have more "pain" of physical labor than fools, and this will be discussed later. )

After we are born, in order to be alive, we must consume food, and the source of food is the contribution of our parents and self-reliance. Food is a necessity for us to live, and we live for food. This point of view is easy to understand. Just let me tell me, I need about 30 yuan for three meals a day. The salary is definitely enough to solve the food problem. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the four basic elements of human life, in fact, these four expenses, half of the salary is more than enough (with my current salary, renting a house, food and clothing add up to 1/3 of the monthly salary, and 1/2 when there is more). You may also talk about buying a house, let's put it this way, that's a height that my current economic level can't reach, and I'm also desperate, so I won't mention buying a house and a car for the time being. Well, speaking of which, I feel that it is already possible, and in order to live, people can pass the above if they do the above.

I'm guessing you're not satisfied, and I think there's something missing. But as for the material aspect, people's desires are endless, and when we talk about material things, in fact, they are just superfluous, and people only need the things mentioned above to live, that's all. Just like taking the driver's license, it's good to pass the passing line, you can take it out to show off to others, if you don't get a full score, you can say to others that you are negligent, just passed, you can also take the book, anyway, how many points are tested, the driver's license is the same! It is enough to strive for a high-level material life.

Secondly, the issue I want to discuss has little to do with materiality. People have sociality, they like to get together, it's good to live in groups of three or five, it's not good to be alone, I don't know where this sociality comes from. But there is always such a need, so the person gets married, maintains a relationship with his parents, he raises me, and I help him to support his old age and have the next generation...... These may be because people are afraid of loneliness, or they may go with the flow, go with the flow, and follow the rules to what age to do what they should do. (Don't ask me why people get married, why do they have children?) I don't know why, I got married because of true love, and I had a baby because of an accident?? On a spiritual level, people have a sense of vanity that is recognized and valued, right? Yes, vanity. After solving the problem of livelihood, people want to gain fame and status, and they don't have to be some kind of dictatorial monarch, which I find very sick and perverted. As mentioned above, there is a passing line for people's vanity, and you have to be the best. If you have to be above 10,000 people, it is indeed very noble, but you and I are ordinary people, and this life may have nothing to do with being an official. We are kind to others, willing to give a seat to the elderly, willing to give alms to those in difficulty, willing to help people who have fallen, willing to bring convenience to others' efforts, these things, we do, get the other party's thanks, or do not get thanks, at least we ourselves will feel that we are beneficial to others, with this kind of cognition, the psychology will get a sense of satisfaction.

You see, it turns out that how many friends in the office are crazy about scrolling Weibo, publishing articles, sharing funny videos, and then showing off how many fans they have gained, this is all a manifestation that people need to be recognized in life, and celebrities and their fans are often tens of thousands, this is to be recognized. Perhaps, one day we can also be loved and noticed by people, and at that time, you will feel that it is good to be alive. Even if you don't make any money, having so many people supporting you and loving you is a very stinky thing, and it is worth showing off or stealing.

The above opinions are purely my personal opinions. We live in order to be able to continue to live (eating, drinking, and Lazar), and in order to have evidence of being alive (to exist and be recognized).
