你是否扪心自问过,为什么你要做现在所做的一切？你这么努力到底是为了什么？为什么要工作，赚钱，盖房子，买车，又为什么要为将来存款？好好思考一下…… Have you ever wondered why you do all that you do? What is the aim of all the effort? Why get a job, why earn, why build a house, why get a car, why save for the future? Think about it for a moment... You might say, we do this to ensure security and comfort for the rest of our lives... And why do we need security and comfort? I think security and comfort are both geared towards one final aim, to ensure lasting and genuine happiness. Happiness is the ultimate aim of everything we do. Again, take a moment to think about this... Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence. –Aristotle The question I will raise is, do security and comfort really make us happy? A secure life 安全的生活 Look at some senior folks who have pursued security all their lives and are about to finish their journey. How happy do they look? Has your own pursuit of security thus far, kept you happy? And then how real is safety? As I read in this thought provoking article, how helpful was security for the people in Japan who were hit by the Tsunami recently? Life and future are too uncertain for anything, even money, to secure. There is absolutely no security in life. This realization need not be traumatic, in fact, it can be liberating! You don't have to be a slave to the future any more! |
