the meaning of life
Searching the meaning of lifeI kept on asking myself this question what is the meaning of life. Why I live in this earth? What for?
Recently I am reading two books Man Made God by Luc Ferry and the Big Questions by Solomon, I was touched by some illumination on the books. So I would like to share my feeling and the contents in the books with the reader you.

First reflect on what is the ‘meaning’ means. For example, we will not ask the meaning of a tree, a chair. Something is meaningful not only because it has function but also the relationship between this object and you. The example is a road sign. If it has meaning, it is not only because it points in some direction, but also because it was intentionally created by people who want to communicate with us and transmit certain information. When it is related to you, it means something to you. Or you can just ignore it and never worry about its meaningful or not. A Z2Xg C MpO0^0e"g

On the other hand, you also can think about something that is meaningful to you, and compare it with the word life to get the common and different characters. In my mind, helping others is meaningful. So it is easy for me to answer the question what is the meaning of life—just try to help more and more people. 9w)^5Qc uk9m:O%x
Before I wrote this words, I felt despair about life. I cannot find any reason to live up. I want to give in and do not want to face the real life, the everyday life. But why this problem becomes such an easy one just after two paragraphs? It is really miracle! This is an old question obsessing us once we were sensible.!c qB$d1Sk
Everyone including the teachers and parents always tells us to help others,and I think it is exactly true we have to do no
sooner than we are capable.m4f6J4wso0n4W

Furthermore I think the harder we try,the more powerful we are and the more people we can help. the meaning of lifew9n2W+L%Q |^,d7PIR

it rearly makes sense in a way
but i think sometimes you just need a little encouragement to move onn0o0[ Jo5RM
sometime you assume that you have the enough energy and patience and do without it but we can make life much easier if we are encouraged

Maybe
Once I asked myself why I had to live in this world with suffering lots of sadness, despair and defection. An old man told me ,Vks_L#bgthat you are too young and you have large amounts of time to enjoy life. Though the road of it is full of difficulties but is also filled with happeniness. One day, you will meet your lover or good friends who must bring you happeniness. You will not be
scared as you have definite targets. Life is a mirror ,you smile at it and you will get returns. the meaning of life is to make money? Life means several years,many days,too much hoursand so on. \7iq.Ei6|!t;g5W1q

At that time we will know what we got and what we lose during our lives
