Life is like a good game, divided into the first half and the second half. In the first half, we seemed to be going uphill all the time, full of anticipation for life, and always thought that the scenery was unique. However, when entering the second half and starting to go downhill, people began to think deeply, what is the meaning of life?
Ji Xianlin, a master of Chinese culture, once said: "According to my personal observation, for the vast majority of people in the world, life is meaningless and worthless. "It is true that although the world is full of people, there are very few people who can really make it to fame, and most of them are ordinary people. From the perspective of ordinary people, once they fall into some difficulties, life seems shaky, and even thinking about "meaning" seems redundant.
First and foremost, homelessness is one of the heaviest burdens in life. After wandering abroad for many years, there is money and leisure, but once you lose your family, or you have a home but can't go back, life is like a long wandering. Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants experienced a similar fate in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and were forced to go into exile, born at an untimely time, and finally died in a foreign land. For wanderers, having a family is the best home, and losing a home, no matter where you are, can only be a lonely journey.
Secondly, having no money available is another dilemma in life. In the first half of life, we may be able to accumulate wealth through hard work, but in the second half, we are getting older, but we have no economic foundation such as pensions and savings, and it is even more difficult to turn around and fight. Although money is not everything, it is almost impossible to survive without it. A certain amount of capital is needed to survive, otherwise even the qualifications for life will become unattainable.
In addition, the lack of reliability is also a major concern in life. In the first half of our lives, we may struggle to provide for our families, send away our parents, and raise our children, but in the second half of our lives, the focus gradually shifts to helping our children live a better life. However, some children may not understand the importance of the inheritance of "incense" and choose not to marry or adhere to Dinkism, resulting in loneliness and regret in old age. With the company of younger generations, life seems more complete.
In ** "Alive", there is a profound sentence: "The standard for testing a person is to see where he puts his time." When life comes to an end, only time doesn't lie. "If you want to live a better life in the second half of your life, you need to spend the first half of your life on practical things such as making money, starting a family, educating children, etc., instead of wasting your time.
To sum up, the second half of life is not all smooth sailing, but it is precisely in the face of various difficulties that we can think more deeply about the true meaning of life. Whether it is family, financial situation or the company of younger generations, it has become the motivation for us to struggle in the second half. Being alive is a journey, and how to make it more meaningful depends on how we work hard in the first half and how we think deeply in the second half.
