Do not take desire as the meaning of life, the essence of life is life itself

In the face of life, I do not know how to do, and it is not clear how to cope with it, life is always full of complexity and change, in the reversal of time and time again, gradually lost direction, maybe will find the direction again, maybe not, but life is there, people are in life, and people can not be separated from life exists.

In the face of life, I do not know how to do, and it is not clear how to cope with it, life is always full of complexity and change, in the reversal of time and time again, gradually lost direction, maybe will find the direction again, maybe not, but life is there, people are in life, and people can not be separated from life exists. Life influences everything, and people influence and change life. Despite this, people can use many pieces to re-weave life into what they want, which is called, living the life they want. In fact, not everyone can do so, and not everyone will reshape life, life is, to a large extent, for the vast majority of people, in fact, solid and not easy to break and reshape. Life itself is life, there is no meaning, but people in life, to life attached too much, give too much meaning, let itself ordinary and simple life, is wrapped up, it still looks like life, but you think, that is still the way life? What is your ideal life and what does it look like?Life, it seems, is the carrier of everything, and the source of everything, and the place where everything goes, and the thing that people like to boast about most. If you ask yourself, what is life? What kind of life does one wish to have? Or what you wish to have in life that is indispensable, this time, for yourself, you will certainly list very many things and various meanings that have been given to you, together with the perfect expression to describe it, it sounds as good as in the Garden of Eden. When people think of a good life, they are always excited and thrilled, which is actually a human being whose desires are somehow fulfilled, so it is natural for people to be excited and thrilled when their desires are fulfilled. Some may say that life is about having a big house, being able to travel the world, being able to do a lot of things that you want to do, and being able to try different things. There may also be people who say that life is about wanting to make a lot of money, to get a promotion and a raise, to sit on a lot of assets, or perhaps to gain fame and power in society, and so on and so forth, all of which are often used by people to describe what life is like.

Of course there are also people who feel that the meaning of life is to keep learning to improve oneself, to enrich life, to study hard, to do scientific research, to do laboratory research, which is also called life, life's being dressed up in different ways, different forms, given different meanings. So people often say that everyone's life is different, no one can understand the difficulties and sorrows of other people's lives, is that really true? Life itself is life itself, rather than people living different lives, rather than people's desires are different, desires have size, of course, desires are different, so people with different desires together, naturally can not understand each other, but life is there, life has not gone far, life is still the original look, just people like to dress up life, desire to get great satisfaction, it The fact is that many people like to do so, and it can even be said that everyone will do so.

Although life seems to be moving into a new phase after desires are met, one has to admit that this is always the case, after the old desires are met, new desires will arise, and this is the new life that many people will pursue, and the new life is the new desires. What we often hear in books, movies and TV, and in interpersonal relationships, is always to say goodbye to yesterday's life and to welcome the new life, which is actually divided into two situations, both bad and good. The bad side is that people are saying goodbye to yesterday's life, in fact, the original desire has not been satisfied, and then changed direction to produce new desires; the good side is that people in the past, the original desire has been greatly satisfied, and then turn to the pursuit of new desires. This is in line with the stages and laws of development of many things, for example, people always think about holding hands after a date, think about kissing after holding hands, and fantasize about going further after kissing.

Whether in the past or now, whether in ancient times or now, human beings in the course of social development, life is actually more like a storage room, more like a universal excuse, a witness used to justify their behavior and language. Said storage room, from ancient times to the present, from domestic to foreign, from the nobleman to ordinary civilians, without exception, life as a storage room. Zhou Youwang beacon fire play vassals, Shang Zhou Wang desolation, meat forest wine pool, are the desire as life, and life was forced to become a storage room, was filled with countless things. And then, for example, the ancient British royalty, hard rules, etiquette, dress code, and royal honor are filled into life, but with the gradual decline of the British royal family, life is still life, life did not change any.

When it comes to life is a universal excuse, this seems to be the excuse that all people use, with what always seems to make sense and sounds different. Want to do something, and not too lazy to act, that is life is too tired, need a break. Lost love, feelings encountered setbacks, lamenting that life is too hard, life is not easy. Want to buy a car, and temporarily can not afford, will also say so, life is not everywhere as it should be, the pressure of life is too much. You will find that no matter what time, encounter what things, as long as they are related to life, as long as you take life to explain, everything will seem very reasonable, so life becomes the all-purpose excuse, even nightmares, can also be blamed on life, what else can not be used to life as an excuse?

Life is an eyewitness, a bystander, observing everything, but unmoved, despite being a bystander, the bystander is also guilty, the bystander will be used to justify personal actions and words. Any impulsive behavior, or language that is not subject to moral restraint, has nothing to do with life until it happens, and once it happens, it has nothing to do with life. If a person is violent and arrested for violence against others in the street, people often blame the cause on the habits of life, that is, this is formed over time in life. For example, because the sale of counterfeit goods were found, this time the main character, will generally say, life forced, had no choice, had to do so, although may have been repeatedly sold counterfeit goods, will still say so. Did you find, life is so morally kidnapped, both to be responsible, but also to be stigmatized, life itself is not wrong, human nature so.

I wonder how many people still remember the Sisyphean myth, what is life? Life is the boulder, rolled to the top of the mountain, or rolled to the bottom of the mountain, the boulder is still a boulder. The essence of life is life itself, which is meaningless and vain. It is man who gives life a lot of meaning, and it is man who mistakes desire for life. Life is like time. How many people have pursued the meaning of time and what is the nature of time? Time is meaningless, time can even be said not to exist, time is created by man, time is more precious than money, this is the value that man gives to time, time does not exist, is not created, man will also invent an identical thing to measure the world.

What is life? Life is empty, is without purpose and direction, is a bottomless abyss, people should live poetically, should not try to chase life, to chase the meaning of life, otherwise, will be trapped in the prison of desire. Forget about life, forget about life itself, only then can you live poetically.
