The meaning of life

What is the significance of life in the end  This long-standing problem, life's ultimate purpose in the end what is it  Ever since the human mind the future, they began to think, how to make your body get the most pleasure to the senses, and began to think about an abstract sense. Thus, food, clothing, housing, boats and other vehicles have been invented. Then these things and more sophisticated, more and more in line with people's needs, more and more people can not do without. So, the meaning of life is to make your body senses comfortable  Clearly not. Some people say that makes sense is spiritual satisfaction, but to make life very poor mental, psychological been satisfied  Obviously impossible. Because human beings want to live a little better, before the development of human society.
Living life, all have desires, these desires is the need in other words; need to eat, need to wear, need love, need for fame status. The person is no end to these needs in general, is not satisfied. Obviously a dish can be the next meal, but always wanted ten, eight, and eat richer. Obviously you can love a person, but always wanted to love her eight or ten, a number of romantic love. Is a love is enough, but can be a lot of people who want to be all love everyone to love me, I was too happy. These are the "need" over, over! And better things, that meet people's physical and mental pleasure; so people growing heart desires. The desire for unification of all people in terms of, that is to seek happiness. Whether it is wealth, fame, status, love the seek, is to satisfy the hearts of pleasure. So now, again brilliant in science and technology can not meet people's desires. The desire (including the lust, greed, desire, desire, lust, fear, frustration, conceited, worry, anger, anxiety and desire to seek, obtain desire, desire to enjoy, storage desire, consumption and so on) are not met, In addition to a handful of people seem to be satisfied outside - either ecstasy or quiet satisfaction meet - people are not suddenly stop their own desires, but also want a good good, but the desire of most people are not satisfied. Although some have a short moment of satisfaction, but only momentary satisfaction, that is like bubble suddenly disappeared in the majority of Decipher, people began to desire a new desire, a new hope, hope to have future intentions. However, it is a little joy and happiness are fleeting, rare long-term, long left to the people, only the pursuit of pain and feelings, and thus become less and less happy, so it is getting painful.

In this regard, in the "Analects" of Confucius explained clearly, with wisdom (wisdom), with a sincere attitude (letter), to find a best way of doing things (justice), to comply with certain social norms (ritual), Dear establish the relationship between people (ren) to create their own good living space, a good living environment, in order to have access to themselves and others happy and happy life. "Those kind and who they want to stand up will also help others stand up, they want to do will also help others to do so. To push themselves and to others by the body, it can be said that the implementation of human with one another's way of ah my dear. "However, the desire to wipe out people is impossible, at least to the human desire for food and air, so that he can survive. Therefore, Confucius believed that people's needs, the demand should be maintained in the middle (moderate), not to have to ask too much, can not obviously have been in this condition rather than to ascetic, humble life. This is Lao Tzu's "contentment" is the same reason. So, who's in good spirits, peace of mind, even if life were simple, a little rough, but it is a pleasure. So, it is vested or satisfied to meet the target easily, establish "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith," faith, can make their own physical and mental pleasure was long able to keep some people happy in this life is the.

Since the use of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, the letter" will be able to change the living environment, to create a fun and happy life, then also went to covet what is it  Want to attempt it  We still have to take it  "The wise are the rule, empty their hearts, actually its belly, weak chi, strong in bone. Often makes people ignorant desire. The husband is also wise not to. For inaction, no dead."

Everyone wants to live better, but how to live how good it is difficult to line up the views. King Zhou as business as "the most fun game in the big sand dunes, with wine for the pool, hanging meat to the forest, during the phase by Luo men and women, for the night's drink " I believe most people do not agree, like Yan Hui as "a basket for cooked food, poured drinks, in the alley, people bear their worries, does not change its music"  Many people are reluctant. So, human beings need to maintain what kind of lifestyle it  Zisi Confucius inherited tradition that maintained in the middle of the lifestyle needs and demands, it should be stressed that it wrote "moderate."

In, that is impartial, flattening out; Yong, according to "King of the wind rabbit Žļ poetry": "I was born at the beginning, there is no yung." "Poetry Qifeng Nan Shan": "Qi Yong only child." " Book Yaodian ":" If the consultation when Dengyong domain. "" The Analects of Confucius Yong also ":" Mean as Germany also, and even carry on peace! people rarely going to live. "'said the text": "Yong, use it." and other statements should be understood as the need of meaning. Moderate needs and demands of life is based on the law of the universe and summed up the road and most people need to follow a way of life, compliance does not follow this way of life, all is each to their own wishes. Only follow this way of life, life can be happy and well-being; if it is to force himself to follow this way of life caused by pain, it also wrong. "Elements of wealth, the line almost rich; prime humble, almost humble line; prime barbarians, the line almost barbarians; prime trouble, the line almost trouble. No entry without a gentleman contented Yan." Do not envy their position that other than fame and fortune. If you sincerely on the wealth of life, it acts on the wealth of life; if sincere in the humble way of life, on the conduct of life in poor and lowly; if sincere in the way of life of ethnic minorities, ethnic minorities on the behavior in the way of life; If sincere way of life in trouble, trouble on the behavior in the way of life. No matter what the circumstances into a gentleman, no not leisurely.

Therefore, the meaning of life is to is to make yourself happy, but also to make others happy! Their side of the family are happy, they will happy. And in order to be happy, then only in accordance with Confucius advocated "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust" to live to act. I believe you read the "Four Books", will find ways to have fun!
