From the moment I came to this world, everyone was thinking about the meaning of life. What exactly is it?
Some people think that if you make a fortune and have money and power, that is the meaning of life;
Some people think that if you go to a certain position, have power and style, that is the meaning of life;
Some people think that to achieve a career in the secular world and be regarded by others, that is the meaning of life;
...
There are a thousand different Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand readers. There are also a thousand views on life in the hearts of a thousand people.
Because everyone has different life experiences, different life experiences, and different views, the lives they live are very different.
can only say that there is no standard answer to the topic of "What is the meaning of living?" Everyone is searching for the meaning of life throughout their lives. Perhaps, this search process is the meaning itself.

"I had a mentality collapsed when chatting with a 75-year-old man for half an hour."
Uncle Chen is 75 years old this year. At the age of his age, he has already enjoyed family happiness at home. If you have time, just use your phone to tinker with it, or write a brush and practice calligraphy.
Once, the 26-year-old grandson came to Uncle Chen's house. His sad look made Uncle Chen particularly confused, how could you be so worried when you are so young?
Hearing grandpa's doubts, he only said: "I'm not sure I can make any money after finishing my master's degree, and I may not be able to make any money. Moreover, the competitive pressure is so great that I will be eliminated in a few years. What's the point of this life?"
Uncle Chen laughed and responded: "Who in every generation of young people wants to make a lot of money, shine the family and live the way others want? To be honest, I thought so too back then. But in the end I became an ordinary person."
Grandson said with a sad face: "Grandpa, don't you feel it?" What a pity? Isn’t it a failure to become an ordinary person? "
Uncle Chen said calmly: "Don’t the kings and princes in history have to experience birth, old age, sickness and death in the end? There are many things that you think are meaningful at this time. But after a while, it is really worthless."
"People come to this world for the purpose of achieving something. But in fact, doing what they want to do, don’t care about other people’s ideas, even becoming an ordinary person is a kind of happiness. What’s more, 99% of the people in this world are ordinary people."

Grandpa's words made him feel more and more confused: "My parents and teachers told us that if we want to make a lot of money, we have to buy luxury houses and cars, we are considered successful people. Why do they say differently from what grandpa you said?"
Uncle Chen shook his head and said, "Parents and teachers, who doesn't want children to be a dragon , , aren't your parents and teachers also ordinary people? "
"There are many people in this world who always put pressure on themselves and think that this is the motivation. Little do you know that you can't even break free from the constraints of the world, and you will always be led by others by the nose. is not necessarily happy."
"In the past two years, I have browsed my phone and saw a word called intra-volume . reminds me of the fact that when I was in charge of factories, I always asked my subordinates to standardize production. And the reason why you intra-volume is because you have all been 'standardized'. It's really meaningless to worry in the end.”
grandson nodded silently and continued to ask: "Grandpa, what do you think is the meaning of living? "
Uncle Chen said with emotion: "Whoever you are, accept the reality of who you are, and then let it go, and live contentedly. "
If you can't connect and accept yourself, that's the real regret.

The meaning of living is just "Accept yourself, live in the present, live contentedly" .
These words can be divided into three points.
The first point is to accept yourself. Do whatever you are, don't think you are great, and you have to succeed. Sometimes, do your duty OK, you are already worthy of the conscience of the world.
accepting this process is very painful. The root cause is that Not everyone will accept the reality that they are ordinary people. There are many people who are still bound by the "success and failure of the world" and cannot recognize themselves in their lives.
The second point is to live in the present moment. Cherish the people and things in front of you, cherish everything you have, Live a life happily and live a simple life. In a complex life, live a good life.
What others say, that is someone else's business Son, let's not care about it. Life is so difficult. If you still listen to those who don't care, wouldn't you ruin yourself?
The third point is to be content. can make as much money as you can. has the happiness of earning ten thousand a month, and 100,000 a month, and 100,000 a month, so why compare?
people's pain is essentially the dissatisfaction of desire. Once greed expands, even if you live in a luxury house and drive a luxury car, you may not be happy inside.

people live for a lifetime, but It's just a few dozen or hundreds of years. You and I come naked and leave naked. No matter who it is, the final result is the same.
Cao Xueqin said that everyone knows that gods are good, but only fame and fortune cannot be forgotten! Where are the generals and ministers in ancient and modern times? A pile of grass is gone in the deserted tomb.
Everyone in the world Envy the elegance of the gods, but they just can't forget their fame. Where are the kings, princes, generals and ministers from ancient times? Perhaps, they have become dead bones in the tomb.
The meaning of life of people is to live a good process, accept themselves, and be content with happiness. The rest, there is no need to force them.
