[Composition material about life] Goethe suffers from death phobia. He always avoids talking about the word death. He can't watch the funeral. If the hearse passes by his house, he will be angry. However, he himself is not afraid of death. One spring evening, watching the sunset with ekman, he said to his friend: When people live to 75 years old, they sometimes think of death. I feel calm at the thought of death, because I believe that our life is indestructible and will continue in the afterlife. Life is like the sun. We thought we saw it disappear, but in fact, it didn't. It's still shining. Before he died, he cried: light ... a little lighter! Finally, he firmly grasped the hand of his daughter-in-law, Audrey, and said weakly, No, little woman, let me touch your gentle little hand for a while! Chekhov's last words Chekhov wanted to seek physical recovery, but found death. Dr. Schwaller had champagne sent upstairs. Chekhov took the handed glass and turned to his wife Olga: I haven't had champagne for a long time. He drank the wine in the cup slowly, then lay down and died peacefully. Rousseau talked about death. Once, Diderot went to Montmorency to visit Rousseau. Rousseau pointed to a pond and said, This is where I want to jump again and again to end my life! Why don't you do this? Diderot asked me to put my hand into the water, but I felt too cold! He replied that it was beautiful. Edison's life has been dying since August. He was awake for a while before he died. It's beautiful over there! He said. The sadness of Jin Shengtan Jin Shengtan played by the well when he was a child. He threw a stone into the well and went home and cried. Adults asked him why, and he said: I threw a stone into the well, thinking that I would never get out again, and I cried. His last poem: the drums are rushing, the sun is setting in the west, and there is no hotel in the grave. Who will stay tonight? Before the execution, he said: decapitation is like the wind blowing a hat. Epicurus "On Death" You should get used to believing that death is something that has nothing to do with us, because all good and evil are in the feeling, and death is just the loss of feeling. For this reason, a correct understanding of death has nothing to do with us, which makes us happy with the fact that life has death. This understanding does not add endless time to life, but liberates us from the desire for death. If a person correctly understands that there is nothing to be afraid of to stop living, then there is nothing to be afraid of in life ... so the most terrible of all evils-death-is insignificant to us, because when we exist, death has not come to us; When we die, we no longer exist. I am still alive. I wrote about privilege. What is the third level? Someone asked French priest and constitutional theorist Sies: 1789 What did you do during the Great Revolution? He replied: I am alive. Living, this is a trivial matter starting with a bowl of vegetable soup and half a shed. The desire to live is sometimes strong and sometimes slim, but she has been walking. What survives may not be the best, but he has the responsibility to survive. God can only entrust the living with the following mission: a little snow in the red furnace. There is a Zen machine that is profound, colorful and full of beauty: red furnace and light snow. Snowflakes are flying. One just landed on the fiery red stove. Freeze it before it falls. We found that it exists, although in an instant, it immediately melts and returns to nothingness. A person's life, no matter how long or short, is like this snowflake. It descended from the sky and walked on Wan Li Road, which can be called long; However, the attitude of falling more and more quickly, it is impossible to turn back, and there is no time to think carefully, so it has already disappeared, so it is short-lived. -A second or two? Hundreds of years? The blazing fire devoured it overbearingly. It existed, but it was too late to leave any traces. When snowflakes push each other towards bright colors, it is just a meaningless chase. Beauty, that's true.
