Do We Live to Replicate or to Revel

Finding Purpose in Perception, Not Procreation

I didn't come into this world to reproduce, but to see how the flowers bloom and how the water flows. How the sun rises and when it sets. I live in this world simply to understand some truths and encounter interesting things. Life is an accident, and I seek cause and effect within it.

Looking at it from another perspective, we are not born to fulfill a predetermined mission, but to experience the wonder of life. We cannot hold onto it forever, nor can we lose it forever. We arrive naked, and we depart naked.

There is no standard answer in life. Does failing to get into college mean there is no future? Does not marrying mean one is unhappy? In reality, it does not. As long as you live a good life, that is the correct answer.

Life is like an infinitely extending road with no fixed trajectory. All we can do is to try bravely and let go bravely.

The true meaning of life lies in how we experience this world, rather than simply in continuing and reproducing. Each of us can only choose our own way of life, and even though the road is difficult, we must enjoy the journey of life to the fullest.

Our looks may not be stunning, our lives may not be rich, our youth may not be wonderful. But it doesn’t matter. There aren’t many audiences in life, and that’s okay. Everyone will encounter setbacks and cry, but life must go on. As long as we are alive and as long as we have passion, plain food and drink are nothing but fleeting clouds. It doesn’t matter if friends disperse, it doesn’t prevent us from falling in love with this world again.

Remember, people who know how to appreciate the scenery must have a rich inner world; people who know how to enjoy life must have experienced the baptism of life.

In this world, everyone is hurt, but please believe that no matter how far away the distance is, we have the ability to break free from the shackles and make the distance no longer far away, but become the scenery before our eyes.
