I was watching seven sins nearly all night. I want to summary it in one word: significant. It not only enforced me to reconsider the meaning of my life, but also gave me an opportunity to read myself.
For me, life is just like a drama: at first I performed terrible in national entrance exams, so I had to attend Beihang University unwillingly. In there, I was admitted by student union. I gradually made everything into routine. At the same time, I got the offer to study in NUS, so I was just back home to pack up. When Dec comes, I came to a totally new environment and tried my best to adapt to it. I have learnt and changed a lot since I came to Singapore. I began to think what is going to in my life; why I need to survivor but not commit to suicide; Why I need to attend university but go to work directly; I even shared my thoughts with Gary trying to find the answer. When I was talking with him about all Christmas Eve, he gave me some materials in return. After I went though about it, although I learnt something, I didn’t think that I got answer exactly.
Maybe nonsense was most damn thing for our life. Yesterday I just lead my life in a rather corny way. I papered for the exams for the high marks. When I got high marks, I could get flattered from others. In this way, my pride could be meted. I also wanted to choose a promising field, which enabled me to make a lot of money in the future. I used this way to feed my greedy. What’s more, I always felt upset or anxiety, even for the things not happened or to happen. And I easily got excited easily especially when I eagerly to meet some girl. This is lust. Therefore, I always felt boring and nothing to do although sometimes a great deal of assignments facing to be and I was even lazy to clean up my room and make my bed. This is inert. And I preferred to wear some named-branded clothes and enjoy luxury to meet my vanity. This is truly a vanity. Until today, after I watched seven sins, I found that I was just surrounded by a sense of boring, even nonsense. In other words, I thought I was just surviving rather than living.
We live for what we sake for. When we just seek for money, reputation, or just fulfill the desires. Meaningless, boring, lonely mood would be always twisting our minds. There is no definitely link between alone and lonely. Suppose a man living in an isolated island, if he can do something meaningful, something can make sure him leading a busy life. Maybe he would not feel lonely. By contrast, when a social-climber or fame-hunter lives in herds and acquaintance a lot people, he may also feel lonely. No one is willing to share the inner thinking with him.
Eventually, I come to realize the meaning of life. We live for curiosity, for learning more things about the life, for saving others from the sins. When we read some works of great minds, our spirit would be purified. When we influence others and save them from sins, we become spirit influent; when we live without just seeking money fame pleasure, they come to our live automatically. I cannot help to narrate the story of Jesus. When he took the last dinner in Good Friday, he know one of his believer betrayed him; without being fury, he just choice to sacrifice peacefully. When the 3 days after Roman nail him in the cross, he just resurrected and forgave all the guilty people have, healed all the diseases people suffer. In China, when a ambassador of prince Chu asked Zhuangzhou to be the prime minister of the kingdom, he just smiled and refused him with a short but clever excuse. However, he just lived in slum without any families and led a very tight life. When he agreed, his life would be totally changed. But he knew what he need to do is just exploring the meaning of exist, the philosopher of this world.
Over-active is always inundated with our lives. Every day we are talking about some issues only related daily incidents; every day we are eagerly to read and make some nonsense on the internet. What’s more, we always account for even a little bit of money. However, when we tend to read a book conveying some penetrating insight, hardly we can read though it because we feel it is too boring or we are impatient. We are delighted to watch movies and TV shows, which can accept contents rapidly. This kind of media is always referred to be the fast food of knowledge. Like McDonald’s, maybe it is tasty but bad to our health. We cannot understand the profound meaning of knowledge. So in this way, we may pretend very knowledgeable. But when we talked with others towards an issue deeply, they may find you’re ignorant and superficial.
So when we attend university, we need to think less about the prospects. There is no need considering the money we are going to earn; what kind of job we can get; how beautiful girl we can marry. Money is just the source of sins. Many people are indulged in debauchery just because they are too affluent to misuse it. However, there is no good lacking of money. So we don’t need to consider much about the money we have. I just demand enough money can keep my daily life but not enough for spending like water. What we need to do is just to bury our head into books to explore the principle of nature human logical. So when you graduate, you will certainly become knowledgeable and captive. At that time, you will be needed with a good salary. Or you have your own wisdom to run your business. Everything is like this: when you care less about it, it will come to you automatically.
If someone offers me an opportunity to choose what I love, I would choose to stay happy. Being optimistic is so important that it sometimes can make miracle regardless how terrible of the status quo. These days, when I saw Man VS Wild, when Bell was set in a wild, when he has no food or water to take, when he is frozen to death, when he is confront with grey bear, he just contain a sense of optimistic. This is why he can be back to civilized world. We may come across difficulties and barriers equivalently. We may also face big failure and great sorrow in the rest of life. But so what? What could we do? We cannot stop it before it happen. So why not just take it easy and lead a happier life?
Every day I tried my best to hunting the track of the great minds. And I also want to inspire me from references. I work hard to get rid of all the craving. What I think highly is just the process of living but not the results. As we all know, all of our final result of life are death.
