Answer Zhihu: What should life be like and how should we live it?

There are two parts to this question. One is what life should be like, and the question is what the result should be and what kind of life state should be achieved; The second is how to live, asking about the process, the process of life. But in the final analysis, this question asks how people should live. What is the reason why people with similar problems are still alive? How do people live?

What the subject should want to know is, how should the individual live? How should human beings or most other people live? Because everyone has different values, it is impossible to reach an agreement. One cannot impose one's own values on others. Doing so is dictatorship and coercion. Then why do many people have the same values? That's because everyone is the same. How to live in life is a personal problem, which needs to be explored, analyzed, judged and chosen according to everyone's values.

But doesn't that answer the question? You asked me how to live, and I replied: you have to judge for yourself, and you have to ask yourself. There seems to be no answer. If you are interested, I'll repeat a few words. The following answers are based on personal experience. Please correct me:

How should people live? You can try to start by understanding the lifestyle of people in today's times.

Only by understanding how most people live can we solve the problem of how people should live. Following this line of thought, let's first answer how people live.

This question has two levels: first, how do humans live? Second, how can a person live?

First, how do humans or most people live?

Conclusion 1: People's activities or most people's activities have a fixed pattern, which is an organic combination of eating, drinking, sleeping, warming, commuting, traveling, working, studying, leisure and entertainment (such as playing mobile phones, watching movies and exercising) and hobbies. Unless there is a bug in the operation of the universe and the laws of the universe have changed, this model will remain in this state for a long time and remain unchanged.

Indeed, I have been thinking about this problem for a long time. Besides eating and drinking Lazarus, can we find more activities that should be done or interesting? Not yet!

Every weekend, an egg hides in his room alone, and he thinks, what should I do on weekends?

Play ball? No friends.

Watching movies? No girlfriend

Short trip? I have been to all the surrounding scenic spots, which is boring.

A day trip to Antarctica? No boat.

When an otaku was at home thinking about what to do on weekends, he found that watching soap operas was still a kind of enjoyment, so he stayed up to watch TV. Weekend came, he slept until noon, got up, dressed, read books, completed the extra tasks of leaders and watched soap operas.

My limited personal experience tells me that the organic combination of eating, drinking, sleeping, warming, commuting, traveling, working, studying, leisure and entertainment (such as playing mobile phones, watching movies, exercising ...) and hobbies constitute a living state. When people gather into groups, when groups gather into society, when society gathers into countries, and when countries gather into human beings, the behavior patterns of these individuals also form human activity patterns, and finally human activity patterns in turn affect individual activity patterns.

Humans or most people basically spend their lives in this mode. This state will be maintained in the next decade or even hundreds of years.

The mode of human activity is limited by various factors, which I call limiter.

Restrictive factors: time, space (natural environment), humanistic concept, technical means and other factors.

The change of these factors can change the activity pattern of human beings or the corresponding population. Innovation is also a fixed model. In the current environment, it is impossible for human beings to grow wings out of thin air, turn back time like Superman, fly from the moon to the earth like a punch, roam the universe like a god and create life.

Therefore, only when these restrictive factors are removed, it is possible for human beings or most people to have some changes in their lives or activities, and it is a huge change. This great change tends to be stable after the change is completed.

Second, how do individuals live?

Conclusion 2: Personal activities, like human beings or most people, have a fixed pattern, which is an organic combination of eating, drinking, sleeping, warming, commuting, traveling, working, studying, leisure and entertainment (such as playing mobile phones, watching movies and sports) and hobbies. Unless there is a bug in the operation of the universe and the laws of the universe have changed, this model will be in this state for a long time.

Specific to individuals, in a fixed pattern, each of us will have a different way of life or activity. The organic combination of these lifestyles or activities is determined by the individual input and output system.

Personal input and output system is divided into two parts: input and output. Input includes input of matter, energy and information, and output system also includes output of matter, energy and information. Personal input and output system is in dynamic balance under the action of human fixed mode. The more garbage is input, the more garbage people will become if they are not cleaned up in time; The more good things you input, the indigestion will occur if you don't digest them in time. Material, energy and information input by human body can be reorganized into other forms of material, information and energy after digestion and refining.

Take Zhang Wuji as an example. When six schools besieged Guangmingding, Zhang Wuji practiced Gankun's big move, that is, input. After the practice, he found trouble with the old bald donkey in Shaolin Temple, so he followed suit and gave the old bald donkey his own hand according to the mentality of Gankun's big move. This is the output. Of course, he can also export other martial arts according to Gankun's big move. Just like Kakashi in Huo Ying, he can imitate his opponent's martial arts as long as he has seen it. The output of martial arts is varied, and the ability is quite strong.

Conclusion 3: The combination of personal material, information and energy input and output is ever-changing, and so is people's lifestyle.

Under the law of fixed pattern, personal lifestyle shows the following characteristics.

1. Diversity (uniqueness): There are 7.6 billion people in this world, so there are at least 7.6 billion lifestyles.

2. Stage: With the development of a person's life, the lifestyle of each stage is different. Recall that your baby, students, working age, entrepreneurial age, retirement age and lifestyle are all different and changing.

3. Restriction: the restriction of those whose lifestyles are restricted. For example, restricted by social environment, natural environment system, human inertia and other restrictive factors,

Restricted by social environment: for example, without money and scarce resources that people need, you can't trade with most people. For example, you can't buy things on Taobao without money, and you can't have money without money.

Restricted by the natural environment: for example, although he is a billionaire, he is not skilled enough to live in this world without breathing or drinking water.

Restricted by people's inertial thinking: for example, people's inertial thinking makes us accustomed to the same. This helps to improve people's efficiency in dealing with problems, but it also limits people's innovation. -the law of inertia of human beings: everyone should keep the state unchanged for one second until external forces force it to change.

In the presence of restrainers, the individual's activity pattern remains unchanged, and the input-output system reaches a balanced system.

When there is an external force, some restrictions of the limiter are lifted, and people's lives will change.

Conclusion 4: According to some characteristics of people's lifestyle, we should know that the most important factors affecting a person's lifestyle are the quality level of input materials, information and energy and the comprehensive processing ability of individual cognitive processing.

The higher the quality of input materials, information and energy, the scarcer it is, the stronger the personal processing ability of people, and the higher the quality of output materials, information and energy, the better the personal development will be. Natural laws and other restrictive factors limit the development of individuals, but also give human beings the ability of cognition and processing.

Example 1: Congenital conditions are good: beauty, cuteness, wealth and wisdom coexist, and the quality and quantity of materials, information and energy that he or she can reorganize can be high, and the reorganized lifestyle will be diverse and high-quality.

Example 2: Good congenital conditions: beautiful, lovely and rich, but poor cognitive ability, and investment mistakes may lead to a situation of sitting on the mountain.

Example 3: Malnutrition, poor family, but strong cognitive processing ability, these people may lead a bleak childhood, but with the accumulation of time, they may turn barren land into a thousand acres of fertile land.

......

Summary:

First, how do people live?

People's activities have a fixed pattern, such as eating, drinking, sleeping, warming, commuting, traveling, working, studying, leisure, entertainment (such as playing mobile phones, watching movies, sports ...) and hobbies. Unless there is a bug in the operation of the universe and the laws of the universe have changed, this model will be in this state for a long time.

Under the restriction of the finite, the combination of individual material, information and energy input and output is ever-changing, so people's way of life can also be ever-changing, and people's way of life presents diversity (uniqueness), stages and constraints.

The most important way to influence people's life is the quality level of input material, information and energy and the comprehensive processing ability of individual cognitive processing.

Second, how should people live?

How should human beings or most other people live? Because everyone has different values, it is impossible to reach an agreement. One cannot impose one's own values on others. Doing so is dictatorship and coercion. Then why do many people have the same values? That's because everyone is the same. How to live in life is a personal problem, which needs to be explored, analyzed, judged and chosen according to everyone's values.

Postscript:

The fixed pattern of human beings is extremely stable, but it will still be affected by some variables. Most people live in this stable and fixed mode, and a few people create variables or use variables to innovate. You can choose to follow fate, or you can choose to conquer nature, change against nature, and waste your life in hope. There is a song by Chris Ding that I like very much:

"There are one million possibilities in an instant.

Is it time to move forward or wait?

There are a million uncertainties in this winter night.

Gradually enter the night or look forward to the dawn. "

One million possibilities

Different people have different answers. How should we explore, analyze, judge and choose our own life? My last sentence is: be true to yourself, respect your heart and listen to your true thoughts.

Mei Yiqi said: "What is truth? What you see, what you hear, what you do, and who you are with have a kind of peace and joy that overflows from your heart, without regret or shame."

In "West East of Mo Wen", the pilot who rescued hungry orphans said: What this era lacks is not perfect people, but sincerity, justice, fearlessness and heartfelt sympathy.

Russell said to the young people after 1000 years: No matter what you are studying and thinking about, just ask yourself, what are the facts and what are the truths confirmed by these facts? Never let yourself be influenced by what you prefer to believe, or what people believe will be more beneficial to society. Just look at what is the truth.

What's your answer?
