In a blink of an eye, I suddenly discovered that 2020 is only the last month left. Time flies like a white horse, time flies like lightning, so is life.
There were several "black swan" incidents suddenly this year, and it seemed that everyone was breathless. A generation of superstar "Black Mamba" Kobe Bryant and a generation of "ball king" Maradona have fallen. In 2020 we have lost too much, and 2020 has taken away too many legends.
But all of this will pass. We take the past and we can still see Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning, and we will still see the sun rise.

This era is about to pass. Although it is full of disasters, it brings more reflection to each of us, and brings more thinking to each of us.
What is life? Why do people live? What is the meaning of being alive? How do you understand and face death?
We are busy every day. Apart from studying and working, we are making a living. Each of us feels that these problems are too far away from each of us, so we don't have to pay attention to it and live the present.
However, we cannot avoid these problems. We must face reality and death. Because human power is too limited, human beings are too small.
Although it seems to be a few simple questions, it is actually a complicated one. It can be as simple as a sentence or as complicated as philosophical thinking.

I tried to find the answer. In the eyes of Old Master Confucius, the world is endless, life and death sometimes, human life is like a white horse crossing the gap between the endless world, life and death are the two end points of life, "Death is life, one goes one. Anti", people often "know the evil of death, but do not know the breath of death." Life and death constitute life.
Then, I finished reading the book "What is Life" by the famous Austrian physicist Schrödinger. As for what life is, he explored the genetic mechanism and the essence of life at the molecular level. Later, he tried to explain the phenomenon of life with theories of thermodynamics and quantum mechanics. For example, an article written before "Entropy! ! ! In ", the concept of negative entropy mentioned in it was proposed by Schrödinger and Daniel.
In his final worldview, he told us that human life is based on negative entropy! To live is to continuously introduce negative entropy.
Xiaolu Note: Although he is a physicist, I think he is also a biologist. Because he used some concepts of physics into the field of biology and made great contributions to subsequent molecular biology. (It's not difficult to find that these great people are all cross-fields)
I have read Lao Tzu's books before, and Lao Tzu's view of life and death is mainly reflected in the word "Tao". In the thirty-third chapter of the "Tao De Jing", Lao Tzu said that "the one who dies without dying will live." It roughly means that the "Tao" will remain with death. It is impossible for a person to be immortal, but the human spirit does not die. For example, the spirit of the black mamba inspires everyone who struggles for life.
Lao Tzu did not promote "the theory of gods and ghosts", nor did he promote "the immortality of the soul."
But there is a person who has the opposite view of Lao Tzu. He is the famous Japanese entrepreneur Kazuo Inamori. He believes that people have souls, and the purpose of living is to "make the soul purer when it is dead than when it is alive." some". He believes that being alive is a process of "improving the character and tempering the soul."
These philosophical things sounded a little difficult to understand at the time. Then I bought a book "How to live" written by Mr. Inamori Kazuo. After reading it, it turned out that Mr. Inamori's philosophical views were very good. Simple, the so-called philosophy he said is the most basic ethics and morality, and to put it plainly is the simplest and simple truth.
He took this most basic and simple principle to the extreme when he was a business, and raised it to the level of philosophy. Therefore, when his old man was 78 years old, he brought a JAL company that was about to declare bankruptcy to life.
Although some of the philosophical views of Mr. Inamori and Oo are derived from the views of Wang Yangming and Confucius in our traditional Chinese culture, through his own insights and life summary, he has his own set of philosophy of living.

After understanding so many people's different definitions of life and their different understandings of the meaning of life, everyone's views and understandings are also different.
This is a question that makes people think deeply, and it is not a question that everyone can answer right away. At the same time, it is also a question worthy of consideration for everyone. After all, if you are alive, you must give yourself an explanation.
In 2020, I think everyone should be thankful for being alive. Only by living is it possible to do something meaningful, and only by living can you feel the beauty of the moment.
At this moment, you should feel that it's good to be alive!
There is one month left in 2020. I have been writing for three years. Every year I will write a year-end summary for myself. The previous years have been done in one go, and most of them are writing about my own situation. I feel that some of them are of little significance to readers. , Does not reflect a certain value.
Einstein once said, "A person's value lies in what he contributes, not what he gains!"
Therefore, this year I want to use the last month of my time to think, and prepare to write a 2020 year-end summary that will have feelings and gains for you and me.
Of course, the article will be updated during this period! If you have anything to write, you are welcome to contribute!
