My outlook on life
The so-called outlook on life is also the criterion for us to deal with this social relationship. Because everyone's social environment is different, so is life. Of course, some people say that I have no outlook on life. I can only say that you are half right. You may not have a clear outlook on life, but you must have your own principles or views on this society and life, but you are not clear and complete.
Life is an old and heavy topic. At all times and in all countries, many people with lofty ideals have given their lives to understand its true meaning. As a nobody, I shouldn't talk about life in this bloody youth. Not because no one's words are dull, but because the topic of life has always been an adult's business. I think I'm still a little boy who is wet behind the ears, but now I have some incorrect ideas about it. I have to get it off my chest, so I will leave something for this particular age.
The ideal is always perfect, but the reality is cruel. Therefore, with Wang Bo's "Feng Tang is easy to get old, Li Guang is hard to seal" and Li Shangyin's "to see the sun, for all his glory is buried in the coming night", we might as well imagine life as painful. I don't deny that there are beautiful things in reality, and I don't deny that everyone's life path is different, so we have different views on life. But I say this because I think it is necessary for me to tear off the fragile veil covering the surface of life and face life and myself naked, so as to cherish all the beauty that appears in front of me more. While acknowledging the pain of life, it is also to prevent yourself from suddenly falling down under the blow of difficulties and setbacks. Suddenly, I remembered the words of a foreign celebrity: "Is the pain endured in vain? No, it should make us great! "
Since life is painful, I don't have to have too much hope for myself and too many dreams for life, but I will try my best to pursue what belongs to me. Is this contradictory? The cruelty of reality forces me to be cruel to myself, and this cruelty is highly responsible for life. I think I am a responsible person, so I must be responsible for my mission in life. I don't want to live in the world as a pile of rotten meat, which is tantamount to walking dead.
A meaningless life is a waste of life for me. I don't like wasting, so I choose to live meaningfully and fully in this world.
Nowadays, many people, especially young people, are confused or pessimistic about their lives. They don't know what role they should play in society, what goals they should set, how to set them, how beautiful their life should be, what the real meaning of their life is, and what correct outlook on life they should have.
Here I briefly talk about some of my own views:
First of all, life is not perfect
Many people pursue a perfect life, but what kind of life is perfect? Everyone's standards are different. If people's life can't be perfect by everyone's standards, can our ideal life be perfect? This is not necessarily true, because if you have low requirements for your ideal life, then your life may be perfect, but if you have high requirements, then it will not be perfect. We are not the only ones in life, and the laws of society and the behaviors of others will not all meet your requirements. Therefore, people often say that "life is unhappy in nine cases out of ten", but many people exaggerate these disappointments in life and think that society is dark. When we are toddlers, we often fall down, but today, with imperfect social development, everyone will fall down, and some people will even fall badly. However, from the perspective of the whole world and the whole process of social development, society has been constantly developing towards perfection. Although it can't be achieved, it will always be close.
Second, know yourself.
Society is constantly developing. As a member of society, what role should we play? When it comes to this, you have to talk about ideals. Almost everyone has their own ideals. Ideals are born because everyone wants to live a better life than now, and it is precisely because of this that ideals have become a spiritual force and a booster for social progress.
However, there are also high and low goals. Some people set their life goals too low, as long as they can survive in society in the future, while others think that "soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers." Of course, most people still want to be ordinary or better than ordinary people.
In fact, these can be divided into two categories: one is to survive and the other is to survive better. In fact, the first category is no longer our key consideration, which is the most basic goal we pursue in the case of extremely low productivity. Now, most of us don't have to worry about survival. As for what parents often tell their children that they can't survive in society without studying hard, in fact, most of them belong to the second category, and the goal of the second category is endless. There are still many people who want to be heroes and go down in history, so I want to explain my understanding of "heroes" here. In fact, heroes are called heroes because they have made outstanding contributions to the development of society, but in fact, people who have made outstanding contributions are not necessarily called heroes, and what everyone sees is often only the most dazzling stars. The world does not advocate heroism, but it needs heroes.
No matter what kind of life goal you choose, you must have a foundation, that is, your own ability and potential. Many people have the ability and potential, but they lack courage and confidence. They choose too low a life goal, are pessimistic and lazy, and are doomed to mediocrity all their lives. There are also many people who simply see some of their own advantages and aim too high, but ignore the lack of ability and eventually fail. This is arrogance and ignorance.
Third, the original intention of life.
What is the meaning of life? Everyone has his own opinion. Marx summarized it as contribution and demand, and people's various definitions are basically different in degree. Some people pay more attention to contribution and are willing to devote their lives to the people, while others pay more attention to taking and coveting the enjoyment of life. Of course, there are many other performances.
No matter how you define your life, you must meet one requirement, that is, contribution must be greater than taking, otherwise society cannot exist in development. This is the most basic requirement put forward by society, and we must obey it, because we are members of society, and only in this way can we survive. When a person really sees the social responsibility he shoulders, he also reaches the realm of "self".
However, it is not enough to meet the basic requirements of society. If we want to achieve it, we have to pay, and our most important capital is ourselves. Everyone can be regarded as a huge ore. The more we develop, the greater the value. Only when people are aware of their value in society can they be qualified to take it and have the ability to contribute. Only such a person can win the respect and praise of others, and such a life is a meaningful and valuable life.
However, it is not easy to realize one's own life value. He needs many subjective and objective conditions and an indomitable heart. Only by constantly tapping one's potential and improving one's ability with a positive attitude can one better realize one's value, enjoy the beauty of life in the process of promoting social development, and realize the unity of individuals and society, and the unity of "big ego" and "small ego".
