The story of loving life

I once read a collection of Chekhov's short stories, the first of which was called Bet. It's about a lawyer arguing with an entrepreneur at a salon party about a prisoner who was recently sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment. Entrepreneurs believe that fifteen years in prison is not as good as the death penalty; Legalists believe that living is better than dying, and living is hope. The two men argued endlessly and finally made a bet. The bet was that the jurist asked the entrepreneur to lock him up. After fifteen years, if the jurist did not breach the contract, all the property of the entrepreneur would be owned by the jurist. The next morning, the lawyer was shut up by the entrepreneur in a small room in his back garden, which had only a small window to deliver food. The lawyer squatted in this isolated hut and began to live in prison. The entrepreneur provided him with the books he wanted to read every day. As time goes by, the jurist has finished reading the complete works of politics, economy, philosophy, science, theology and literature, and fifteen years have finally arrived. At this time, because the entrepreneur lost in the business field, he knew that he would become poor when the time came, so he decided to kill the jurist the night before the expiration. The banker finally opened the rusty iron lock that had never been opened in fifteen years, and found that the lawyer was sleeping at his desk in front of the candle. When the banker was about to take the opportunity to kill the withered lawyer, he found a letter for him on the table. The letter said that he was grateful to entrepreneurs. He had read many books in the past fifteen years, and this knowledge would be inexhaustible wealth for his life. He also understood many truths. He decided not to want the entrepreneur's property any more. He will break out of the window before dawn tomorrow and automatically break the contract. After reading the letter, the banker decided to give up the idea of killing the jurist. Before dawn the next day, the jurist broke the contract and broke out of the window, not only retaining the banker's property, but also saving his own life.

This novel seems to contain many truths. Loving life and being alive is hope and should be its theme. The most precious thing in the world is life. Loving life does not mean being afraid of death. "Who has not died since ancient times?"? I remember a poem by Qiu Jin: "I don't hesitate to buy a treasure knife, but it's also worthwhile to exchange mink and fur for wine. A warm-blooded and diligent respect, sprinkling it can still turn Bitao. " All people who have made great achievements at all times and in all countries understand the value of life and use it. All normal people cherish and love life. "People are inherently mortal, either as light as a feather or heavier than Mount Tai." Of course, it is impossible for everyone's death to be heavier than Mount Tai in life, but it cannot be as light as a feather. People can't be suicidal. I often think of Dumas' words that all human happiness lies in hope and waiting. Living is happiness, hope is happiness, and waiting is happiness. Everything in the whole human society operates for the sake of human survival and pursuit of happiness, which are the theme and purpose of human beings: without them, human life will lose its meaning.

Astronauts who have flown in space, scientists who have gone to the South Pole for scientific research, when they are far away from the human group, their hometown and their relatives, and when they come back to face the boundless and merciless nature and space to challenge the limit of their lives, they understand everything, and they feel that human beings are very small and fragile when facing nature. At the same time, I feel that life is very precious and great, and it is not easy and difficult for human beings to survive when facing the limit of life. People who come back from challenging the limits of their lives think that human life is the best and happiest. They even think that human beings should not fight with each other. You don't know the value of having until you have lost it. However, life can't be played like this, because there is only one life. Those who have challenged the limits of life have come from the brink of life and death and know how to cherish life and life more. From this, I think of Jack London's novel "Love Life": the touching story of two gold diggers struggling from the death line after suffering and hardship; Make you feel how powerful people's vitality is and how strong people's desire for survival is, and people will deeply feel the value of life on the verge of death. So what reason do people who live in peace and prosperity have to be suicidal? What reason is there to leave this world for no reason? Life will encounter many difficulties and hardships in its development, which just proves the value of life. Life is the foundation of all superstructures and the material world. Because of human life, there is thought, hope and pursuit, and this colorful and kaleidoscope-like world.

Life faces time and space, just as the ancients said, "If we look at it from its own changes, heaven and earth can't be seen in an instant; If you look at it from its unchanging, things and I will be endless. " Life is short and eternal. Life in this world is real, with family fun, friendship of friends, love of lovers, ideals, beauty, pursuits and dreams. Only in this world can we create a truly beautiful paradise. Cherish life and sing a hymn to life.
