A bit philosophical lately

2022/9/7

I seem to seldom think about the meaning of life, but today, on the way to work by bicycle, I fell into this thought. When I recited: "The meaning of life is to create the life that follows from the universe" (Lao Jiang said: The purpose of life is to improve the life of all human beings, and the meaning of life is to create the life that follows from the universe.), in my A white car suddenly rushed out of my right hand side, which made me startled on the spot and hurriedly braked, but I still scolded him secretly in my heart. Fortunately, everything was fine.

Later, I returned to the "meaning of life" that I was thinking about. I thought that the meaning of life should lie in the fact that when riding a bicycle, one should concentrate on cycling and not focus on other things, so that safety can be ensured and life has a chance to continue.

I don’t know if it’s the same for you. When driving or riding a bicycle, you always think about things that have nothing to do with cycling. Although I also do the same, most of them are related to what I see on the road, like the changing appearance of clouds. Or the roadside trees on the side of the road are just trimmed neatly, etc., which is what the eyes can see.

But today is very different. I actually think about the meaning of life. It doesn't seem like something I would do. After all, life to me seems to be just living or dying. Living every day is the meaning. I have never thought about it carefully. meaning. I think that to live is the meaning of life, and to die, it will be forgotten after a long time, like a puff of smoke that goes away with the wind, very light and airy. Maybe think more about life after reading Milan Kundera's book.

I remember when I first started reading this book, I was influenced by the first article and began to think about some questions, which were very philosophical questions. (I think)

🍀🍀🍀🍀

I wrote this:

" A man who can write such an article must also be a person with a delicate mind and good at observing people's hearts and things around him. He has keen insight and delicate emotional feelings. He must have tasted loneliness and the beauty of loneliness. to write such an impressive work.

I have never read Milan Kundera's book, "The Unbearable Lightness of Life". I just read the first one, and I have some wonderful feelings in my heart, like entering the door of philosophy and standing in front of the door. In the temptation to hesitate, I saw a ray of light, telling me that things that are gone forever will eventually become the lightness of the universe. So I thought about whether the future me will only become a name for my descendants, maybe even a name does not exist, only "my mother", "grandmother", "great-grandmother", "great-great-grandmother"... ...

Occasionally, there is a doubt in his articles that life is unpredictable, because there is only one time, and there is no chance to come back. Six occasions when Thomas met and fell in love with Tereza, none of which could be repeated, and neither was our life. Sometimes I think, if I hadn't met the master at that time, would my life be different? The answer is yes? Absolutely different? The problem is that you never know the outcome because there is no chance to prove it.

In the book, I also see a very deep issue discussed by the author, which comes from the influence of the original family on the child and the roots of some character development. The article is written in depth, and the human nature is meticulously described, showing his connotation and observation, philosophy There are many explanations of sex.

Naked and sharp words, the analysis of human nature is so real that it seems to hit the nail on the head, as if the thoughts that he once had were also spoken out. "

Here are two excerpts from the book

P46: But there is only one life, so it is absolutely impossible for people to test the hypothesis through experiments. Therefore, people will never know whether it is right or wrong to rely on emotions.

P47: The love in our lives is something light, something without any weight; we always imagine that our love is what love should be like, without it, our life is no longer our life .

After reading what I wrote at the beginning, I sighed that life is only a momentary thing. Compared with the eternal universe, our life is really much lighter.

But how do you make it so-called meaningful? Again, I think it's just learning to live in the moment, to love yourself, to love your family, to love your friends, and to make life without regrets as much as possible.

I've been thinking a bit philosophically lately.
