生命是自然賜予我們最珍貴的禮物。每個生命都是獨一無二的,卻又有共同的內在價值和意義。生命雖然短暫,卻蘊藏著改變世界的無限可能。因此,我們應該充分利用自己的時間與精力,為生命創造更好的生存環境,讓它的價值得以實現。
生命本身並沒有固定的目標,而是以自由和純粹的形式存在著。死亡雖是生命的終結,但卻動搖不了生命對生存的堅持。其實,沒有目標的生命更靈活,能夠避免挫折與失望。然而,隨著人類思想與自我意識的不斷進化,我們開始為生命賦予目標與期望,卻也背負了沉重的壓力與憂慮。
目標雖然提供了方向,但也常常讓我們過於執著於具體成就,導致生活中的連串挫折。另一方面,我們往往依賴目標來確認自己的存在感,而當目標達成後,這種依賴就會轉化為孤獨和空虛。因此,無論做甚麼,無論成功還是失敗,只要我們的自我參與其中,挫折感總是不可避免。
如果能回歸生命的本質,我們就不會再有太多的期望,也不會因失望而感到痛苦。當生命不再被必須實現的目標所束縛,它的存在就有了最高價值。如果我們將生命的存在作為行動的核心目的,就能從根本上避免挫折。生命需要不斷繁衍,它必須擁有更好的未來。因此,我們應將目標集中在一個可實現的小範圍內,而不是追求遙遠的理想。
生命的最根本需要是真實存在。任何為滿足這個需要而採取的行動,都能帶給我們真正的幸福與滿足;相反,任何偏離這個需要的追求,都會帶來挫折。這提醒我們:無論追求甚麼目標,首先要考慮生命現實的存在。只有真正以生命為導向的目標,才能帶領我們穩步走向所渴望的目的地。
大自然是生命的賜予者,其運行法則不容違背。我們應心存感激,並將這種感恩化作一切行動的終極追求。只有全然接納大自然的饋贈,才能建立內心的和諧,確保人生始終沿著正確的軌道前進。
我們可以在工作、日常生活,甚至在戰爭這樣極端的情境中,實踐這種"以存在為最高目標"的行動準則。在每一個行動之前,我們應首先權衡生命的代價與需要,然後再考慮目標達成所帶來的利益。一旦意識到某個行動可能威脅到自己的生命,我們不妨仔細考慮是否放棄該行動,除非該行動的結果能拯救更多人的生命。這樣的抉擇,不僅尊重了生命的本質價值,也體現了我們對生命的終極承諾。
我們的存在本身就是一個奇蹟。生命的意義在於與自然和諧共處,透過彼此連結,共同締造更強大的存在。當我們專注於當下,並讓每一天更加完美,生命存在的機會就會增加。生活的藝術在於細心觀察我們每一刻的成長,並將那些微小的努力匯聚成改變命運的力量。

Acting for life
Life is the most precious gift nature has given us. Every life is unique, yet has common intrinsic value and meaning. Although life is short, it contains infinite possibilities to change the world. Therefore, we should make full use of our time and energy to create a better living environment for life so that its value can be realized.
Life itself has no fixed goal, but exists in a free and pure form. Although death is the end of life, it cannot shake life's persistence in survival. In fact, a life without goals is more flexible and can avoid frustration and disappointment. However, as human thought and self-awareness continue to evolve, we begin to give life goals and expectations, but we also bear heavy pressure and worries.
Goals provide direction, but when our egos focus on specific achievements, life can be filled with frustration. On the other hand, our ego often needs to rely on goals to confirm its existence, and once the goal is achieved, it will feel lonely and empty. Therefore, no matter what we do, whether we succeed or fail, as long as our ego is involved, frustration is inevitable.
If we can return to the essence of life, we will no longer have too many expectations, nor will we feel pain from disappointment. When life is no longer bound by goals that must be achieved, its existence has the highest value. If we make the existence of life the core purpose of our actions, we can fundamentally avoid frustration. Life needs to continue to reproduce, it must have a better future. Therefore, we should focus our goals on a small achievable range rather than pursuing distant ideals.
The most fundamental need of life is real existence. Any action taken to meet this need can bring us true happiness and satisfaction; on the contrary, any pursuit that deviates from this need will bring frustration. This reminds us: no matter what goal we pursue, we must first consider the existence of the reality of life. Only truly life-oriented goals can lead us steadily toward the destination we desire.
Nature is the giver of life and its operating laws cannot be violated. We should be grateful and turn this gratitude into the ultimate pursuit of all our actions. Only by fully accepting the gifts of nature can we establish inner harmony and ensure that our lives always move on the right track.
We can practice this principle of "existence as the highest goal" in our work, daily life, and even in extreme situations such as war. Before every action, we should first weigh the cost and need for life, and then consider the benefits of achieving the goal. Once we realize that an action may threaten our own life, we might as well carefully consider whether to give up the action unless the result of the action can save more lives. Such a choice not only respects the essential value of life, but also reflects our ultimate commitment to life.
Our existence itself is a miracle. The meaning of life lies in living in harmony with nature, connecting with each other and creating a stronger existence together. When we focus on the present moment and make each day more perfect, the chances of life existing increase. The art of life lies in carefully observing our growth every moment and gathering those tiny efforts into the power to change our destiny.
