Looking for the infinity of life

Pascal has this understanding of man: man is both great and miserable. People realize that what they can achieve is limited, and they won't get everything they want, but they still yearn for infinity and keep pursuing because of the incompleteness they haven't got in life. ?

Because of this, the sadness that has not been obtained is skillfully transformed into the happiness that has been pursued. This yearning for infinity makes people clearly position themselves and work hard without regrets. Looking back, The History of the French Revolution was the second book written by Carlyle after the manuscript was lost. This book is Carlyle's dream and the peak he has been eager to reach. If this life is not available because of a tragedy that has been recovered, how can Carlisle regain his joy and happiness as a historian in the process of searching for what is not available and infinite?

Therefore, the infinite desire for life and the expectation of the unknown are inexhaustible sources of people's creation. Ji Bolun once pointed out: "A man does not look at what he has achieved, but at what he seeks to achieve." In the exploration of the infinity of life, people have developed perseverance. They have tasted the joys and sorrows of the world and are finally looking for infinity. In the pursuit of failure, they temporarily put aside their imperfections and strive to form a unique greatness.

Indeed, even though people's knowledge, feelings and intentions always have a limit, it also provides an unexplored opportunity to break through the limits of the past. Just like Bacon in those days, in order to polish his essays and life motto, he always kept his notebook at his side and constantly revised it. Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is a perfect work, but Bacon thinks his writing is far from satisfactory. This also inspired him to constantly surpass himself and approach perfection.

Nowadays, when people read Bacon's essays, do they taste the upgraded language? Do you realize that you are looking for what you haven't found, and you are eager for the vitality and enthusiasm given by infinity? It is truly integrated into people's lives, which makes their articles warm and their wisdom gather in the long river of civilization. ?

This shows the greatness and misery of human beings. If you don't get what you love, there is sorrow, and that is the limit that people will eventually reach. But when we know infinity, and then pursue and create, in this process, we can show the true colors of life and reach a higher level.

In fact, this is the meaning of life. People who wake up from the antinomy feel deeply between what they get and what they don't get. The weak are satisfied with their own gains, but the strong pursue the infinity of life and cast the humble life into an eternal statue.

Test analysis:

When reviewing questions, we can make a train of thought from the perspective of Bernard Shaw or Zhou, or we can combine them as a whole. It can be roughly divided into three angles:

From Bernard Shaw's point of view,

There are two tragedies in life, one is not getting what you love, and the other is getting what you love. This is a tragic (negative) outlook on life, which embodies the tragic outlook on life from the perspective of possession or satisfaction or utility. The pain of unsatisfied possessiveness and the boredom of being satisfied are double tragedies. The roots of these two tragedies are related to desire. If you don't realize your wishes, you will suffer, and if you realize your wishes, you will be bored and empty. In this way, this attitude towards life is the same as Schopenhauer's view of tragedy. Schopenhauer believes that pain is innate, because people's desires are infinite and their ability to realize them is relative. These two contradictions are difficult to reconcile, so it is difficult for people to get eternal happiness and always swing between pain and boredom and emptiness. You can think deeply from the perspective of desire and pain.

In Zhou's view, there are two great things in life. One is that you can't get what you love, so you can pursue and create. One is to get what you love so that you can taste and experience it. This is a process of looking at life from an aesthetic perspective. It is equally happy to seek and create in order to get it, and to taste and experience it after getting it. Zhou's words emphasize that people should not look at life from the utilitarian point of view, but from the aesthetic (non-utilitarian) point of view, so it can be put forward that the process of creation (or experience) is happiness and happiness; Based on creation, harvest a happy life; It is also happy and passionate to look at life from an artistic and aesthetic perspective.

Grasping the material as a whole can be conceived from two angles: shallow and deep.

On the shallow level, Bernard Shaw and Zhou have different understandings and concepts because of their different perspectives and mentality. From this, it can be suggested that different attitudes and perspectives will produce different understandings and results. In a deeper sense, Bernard Shaw and Zhou have the same starting point. Bernard Shaw revealed these two tragedies, that is, he warned people not to have too much possessiveness and not only to pay attention to the results of life. Because too much attention is paid to the results, the process will be regarded as a kind of hard work when pursuing the results; In addition, if you pay too much attention to the results, even if you achieve the results, you will pay too much attention to the results and ignore the happiness of the process, and fall into boredom and emptiness. Bernard Shaw said it from the opposite side. Zhou believes that the happiness of life should pay more attention to the process of creation and pay attention to the process with aesthetic eyes. In other words, in the process of pursuing and creating, if you get rid of possessiveness, you can at least avoid a lot of trivial troubles and small pains and live an open-minded life. Therefore, it can be put forward that happiness and happiness can be reflected in both the result and the process, but it should be noted that only temporary happiness can be obtained in the result, and in the process, both the happiness of the process and the happiness of the harvest results can be realized. It can also be concluded that you can get happiness if you get rid of possessiveness; If you cling to possessiveness, you will fall into the mire of pain and boredom.
