What’s the meaning of life?(中学高级水平)
What’s the meaning of life?
The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It’s far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with consideration.
The search for the purpose of life has puzzled people for thousands of years. That’s because we typically begin at the wrong starting point-ourselves. We ask self-centered questions like What do I want to be? What should I do with my life? What are my goals, my ambitions, my dreams for my future? But focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life’s purpose.
You didn’t create yourself, so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for! If I handed you an invention you had never seen before, you wouldn’t know its purpose, and the invention itself wouldn’t be able to tell you either. Only the creator or the owner’s manual could reveal its purpose.
How can we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, and our destiny? Wrong path leads to a dead end.
Life is about letting the creator use you for his purpose, not your using him for your own purpose.
We are often taught to consider our dreams, to clarify our values, to set some goals, to figure out what we are good at, to aim high, to go for it, to be trained, to believe we can achieve our goals and never to give up.
So what? What if we are successful?
First, we must have a mind giving thanks; second, we have to know exactly who we are; third, we must learn to love others as ourselves; fourth, we make contributions to the society in return.
