Life 3 (周国平)

333 views. 2022-1-21 16:05

As a man who arrives in this world, he is first to be a life. Life, it could have been innocent. However, we are more and more living in complexity. For much of the time, we are not living for life itself, but for desire, ambition, identity and titles; we are not living for it but for wealth, authority, status and fame. These accumulations of society close over life, and than life we view them as something more important, for which we exhaust our lifetime energy, unwilling and unable to listen to the sound of life itself.

 

Humans are the descendants of nature, whose rules the life adheres to. Humans should in the arms of nature live and reproduce, as however the time changes, the spring flowers and autumn fruits, the birth given to children, should forever be the basic kernel of life. While you get out of the noisy workplace, to be walking in the street, with the view of clouds in the sky and shadows by the trees, and when you get home, to be sitting with your wife and children for the dinner, at this time you return to be a life.

 

In the human life, there are things not indispensable, as they are possessed to add lustre, and not to damage the substance while not possessed; and things that are essential, once in absence will not mean life again. As for the indispensable, no one decides what they are, but the only authority being Nature that has brought humans up. Nature stipulates that life cannot be away from sunlight and the earth, and that humans are bound to plough and breed. The most basic content of life is the most ordinary, but is exactly what constitutes the eternal centre of human life.

 

Generations are alternating, and lives are multiplying, so that the basic kernel of human life is ordinary from its origin. Warfare, politics, cultures, wealth, adventures, romance, and all these extraordinary, will after all return to the ordinary, and will together be evaluated according to their merits and demerits for the ordinary human life. Even in the life account of a great man, what touches us most is not his great feats, but the moments in which the true human nature is manifested in the ordinary life, and moments as such are exactly what everyone has. What is regretful is that, in the world today, people are agitatedly chasing after what’s seemingly extraordinary, but so few of them know to cherish and taste the ordinary life.
