Why is life given to man? Interest Ask. Since ancient times, people have thought about the meaning of life. Parents give life to a person. And, in my opinion, our primary duty is not to live it in vain. But how to do that? The answer to this question lies in the world we live in. First the world, the environment that surrounds a person is not ideal. Throughout the history of mankind, man has made many interesting and helpful steps that shaped not only her own history, as well as her environment. But, unfortunately, man has also made many wrong steps.

For example, the development of sciences, the enrichment of knowledge about nature and man himself, can become striking examples of the former. Leonardo da Vinci, Wright brothers, Jacques Yves Cousteau. The list of people and their achievements that have benefited humanity and our planet is endless. But, unfortunately, not only lofty motives often led prominent people. Conquest wars, the inept use of their own achievements, as well as human greed and selfishness, have done great harm to humanity and the planet. The wounds caused by the Second World War are still healing humanity and the planet. Wounds from Chernobyl disaster and the recently sensational catastrophe at the Fokushima nuclear power plant to heal for many more centuries.

In my opinion, these examples clearly reflect acute problems humanity and point to the meaning that every person is looking for in life. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle said: “What is the meaning of life? Serve others and do good." And I completely agree with him. Now I am in the ninth grade, I have parents, and when I grow up, there will probably be children. And I believe that right now, learning and acquiring useful knowledge I provide a happy future for myself and my loved ones. And what, if not the happiness of loved ones, is the main goal and meaning in a person's life?

Many times and with any difficulties, we ask ourselves: “What do we live for? What is the purpose of our life?" And sometimes many of us do not find the answer to this question. And when we asked this question and did not find an answer to it, our simple existence began. Yes, that's right, existence. We just start to go with the flow, not thinking at all that at the slightest movement, we begin to make adjustments that may one day play an important role in our lives.

But there are few such swimmers, as a rule, in Hard time a person gives up, and the course of his life simply carries him from day to day to where the river is directed. Yes, it is much easier, much easier to live, or rather exist. After all, there is no need to fight for anything, to strive for anything, everything goes as it goes. But at the end of the journey, when the river of life has brought a person to the finish line, he, looking back, realizes that nothing is left behind. Emptiness…

Reveal and Navi world.

Emptiness is both external and internal. And that's when it gets really scary. It’s scary from the understanding that you can’t return the past, you can’t stop time, and nothing can be fixed. The most precious thing that is given to a person, the very thing that is the one and only, we simply spent, or rather, did not even spend, because when you spend, you get something in return, and in the case of a barren life, in more precisely existence you get nothing. The ancient Slavs had such a concept as the world of reality and the world of Navi. Reveal the world is real existing world with living beings, the world of Navi, this is the world of dreams and otherworldly forces. For our perception, the world of wake and navi is already a deep philosophy about the meaning of life.

So why not think at the beginning of this path and find the answer to the question: “What do I live for? And why do I need this life?

And the answer is very simple - you don’t have to live for something, you don’t have to live for something, and even more so you don’t have to live for someone, because everything is fleeting, everything changes in the blink of an eye, today it is, and tomorrow it is gone and then the meaning of life is lost again. So do not live for the sake of ... but just live. Live every day, every hour, every minute, do not waste a single minute of time, a second has passed and you will not return it, never and for any money, appreciate this time, appreciate what is happening around you. In every breath of the breeze, in every ray of sunshine, in every dewdrop, look for happiness, because only happy man- a living person, this is the world of reality.

We must always remember that our whole life is a continuous struggle. The struggle is not only for a place under the sun, but above all it is a struggle with oneself. We very often drive ourselves into the gray everyday life and stop noticing the bright colors that decorate our lives. Everything around becomes gray and uninteresting, and each person has his own reason for this situation. But no matter how hard it is, no matter how much you want to scream in pain or choke yourself with tears, you need to seek and find the strength to live in yourself. It is to live in the world of reality, and not to exist in the world of Navi.

I am in the 11th grade and dream of entering the KI FSIN, the former Vladimir Military School. I hope everything works out for me.

This year there is very little free time, since I need to prepare for the exam, but I can not deny myself the pleasure of doing my favorite thing - reading fiction.

This year, by chance, M. Litvak's book “If you want to be happy” fell into my hands. I read with great pleasure, then several books by Vladimir Levy, Dale Carnegie, Nikolai Kozlov and other psychologists. And you know ... I became kind of curious before life. I surprise myself. I want to help someone, leave a mark after myself... Give the world something new, better, higher.

The next year I will devote primarily to family and study. Family, because it is above all, and study - because I want to finish school well and enter a decent university. I want my parents to be proud of me, so that I achieve everything in life that I want.

"Why is life given to us?"

I have something to sing
presented before the Almighty,
I have something to justify to him.

V.V. Vysotsky

What is the meaning of human life? What are we living for? What should come to? And what should be final result our life? I think these questions are of interest to every sane person on earth. Over the centuries, many have puzzled over these questions: scientists and philosophers, politicians and artists, old and young. And, indeed, why do we live, why do we exist for a tiny period of time in eternity, calculated in billions of years?

Man is a grain of sand vast space The universe, he is nothing in it, but if there are thousands of people, they are capable of much. Even now, due to human activity, the balance of the ecosystem has been disturbed, thousands of animal species are dying, the bowels of the earth have been turned outward, not only our planet, but also the Cosmos is littered with garbage.

This is already a problem for all mankind, which needs to be addressed urgently. And there are many such problems. Humanity must solve them. Yes, global problems humanity decides, but what about individual people?

How should they live and what should they strive for? The meaning of the life of many great people was to serve the people. Often they were unhappy, poor, lonely and incomprehensible, but they did not leave their work. They persistently went to their goal: they painted pictures and symphonies, discovered laws and deduced formulas. They were sure that sooner or later people would need their discoveries. Sometimes they even sacrificed their lives, love, affections, and it's so difficult.

And I want to be like such people and I don’t want to. I want to do something big, useful for people, and at the same time you understand how difficult it is, you need to sacrifice a lot, give up a lot. Yes, and it's scary to suddenly be lonely and misunderstood.

And yet I believe that any work, any aspirations are only for the benefit of a person. While a person is young and full of energy, he should strive to achieve new heights. Only youth can do this. Lack of experience is not a hindrance, the main thing is desire. Life, of course tricky thing, but how will you understand it if you do not experience everything that it presents to you.

If the meat from the knife
You haven't eaten a single piece
If hands are folded
Watched from above.

And didn't fight
With a scoundrel, with an executioner -
So in life you were
Nothing, nothing.

Each person creates his own unique world around him. How it will be - bright, colorful, filled with unforgettable impressions, or dull, gray, monotonous - depends only on ourselves.

Many may object to me, arguing that a person is only a unit, small, insignificant, on which nothing depends in this world full of hostility, injustice and lies. Yes, there is a lot of evil in the world, and, of course, one person will never change it, but still you need to try to do something, and to improve and improve the world you need to start with yourself. This is for everyone. Where to start?

With self-improvement and self-development. Life does not stand still. So we are constantly developing, changing, striving for excellence and improving our lives. Self-development makes life more complete and happy.

The goal of each person is the realization of all the possibilities inherent in him. Pursuing personal development, it is very important to engage in self-education, your intellectual and creative growth. And then after all, as it happens - education for a person ends with the receipt of a matriculation certificate or a diploma of graduation from a university. And what's next? Is it interesting to live for a person who is completely absorbed by everyday life, who is not carried away by anything and has stopped in his development? And learning new things is so interesting!

Whatever we learn foreign languages or dancing, planting flowers or the art of communication - we will develop intellectually and creatively, in addition, we will grow in our own eyes. It will be interesting for people to talk with such a person, and love and self-respect will increase.

There are many areas for self-development. The main thing is the desire to improve. You can do the restoration of health, vision, hardening, the development of flexibility and plasticity, cleansing the body, meditation, yoga. Or use the Internet to your advantage - create your own website or blog, conduct mailing lists, publish your work: whether it be poems or photographs.

Each person is capable of improving the world around him. It is so nice to create beauty, cleanliness and comfort in the house. There is a desire, you can do design and decor.

What about personal development? You can develop self-confidence, communication skills, cooking skills. Even better get rid of bad habits and improve your positive sides. In addition, you can create your own image and style or learn how to do massage.

And most importantly - training! Is always! Throughout life! You can study at courses, seminars, trainings. You can learn how to work on a computer if you don't already know how. You can learn anything: creativity (drawing, photography), foreign languages, driving a car, planning personal finances.

In life, there should always be changes for the better. Without change and diversity, life becomes monotonous and monotonous. Therefore, by changing something, we make life more interesting. And even more than that, changes in life are important! To move, develop, become wiser.

But why then do we think one thing, but in life things do not happen the way we want? Why do we say this and act differently? Everything is very simple. Most people are concerned about where they work, how much they earn, what their status is. Many, unfortunately, are not at all interested in what is going on in their souls, and there is no time left for their souls ... But it is important that a person develop both in breadth and depth. After all, any development is a change in the situation for the better. By creating something, we fill life with the meaning and happiness of creation.

Practically each of us initially has a powerful creative and spiritual potential that can be revealed. In each, you can "wake up" at least pronounced abilities. Of course, this requires a lot of work.

To begin with, a person must understand what he still wants, clearly define the goal. It is unlikely that anyone will do it for you. Therefore, it is best to turn to your intuition, to your heart and your soul. Work on yourself, listen to yourself, your heart, your soul. But how much joy and happiness you will experience when you realize that you have found your business, your passion, your hobby, which you enjoy doing. Besides, creativity to business often entails not only satisfaction from what has been done, but also success and material well-being.

It is also very important to focus on achieving your creative purpose, concentrate, discard everything insignificant and insignificant. After all, it is impossible to immediately run in two directions or climb three mountains at the same time. So in life, it is impossible to achieve success in several guises at once. So send your vitality and energy to achieve your dreams. It is important to understand that if you do not find a job to your liking, life in one beautiful moment will turn into a disgusting way of life... Start living not "outside", grabbing, consuming information, energy, wealth from society, but quite the opposite, - "from within". And then life will change, sparkle with all the colors of the rainbow.

A person in this life must take place. Figuratively speaking, we are all born princes and princesses in this life in order to become kings and queens. The king, in my understanding, is not necessarily a president or a major leader, this is a person who knows how to do his job in a way that no one can do it. Each of us is created in one copy. And you can become a king only by learning to make your own business. own way in a way that no one can do.

We can consider the king of a cook who cooks hodgepodge in such a way that no one in the city can cook it, or a seamstress, for whom it is impossible to sign up for a month in advance because she sews in such a way that you just admire. In every person there is a need, thirsting for its satisfaction. It is the need to satisfy one's own importance. The essence of this need is the desire to be the first, the one and only. It is this need that makes us move forward, do something, even after, it would seem, everything is already there - an apartment, food, work, children, friends. But there is no peace, all the time you want something else. Satisfy your sense of importance.

A. Maslow believed that there is only one way that can lead to this. This is the way of developing one's abilities, the way of turning one's abilities into skills, that is, self-actualization. So, to become happy, you need to constantly satisfy your sense of self-importance through personal growth.

The greatest wealth of a person is his life! Our life is multifaceted. It is important to know your purpose. If you know how to set goals and achieve them; if activity is always with you; if you like creativity, change and variety; if development, self-improvement and a good relationship with loved ones; if you have a hobby, hobbies; if you do not forget about rest and entertainment; if you treat yourself and your feelings, emotions and sensations with love; if you know how to overcome obstacles, appreciate beauty, strive to gain knowledge; if you bring novelty into your life, observe, then your life will be interesting, full. Her companions will always be: saturation with impressions and your successes!

May you enjoy your life! Start with yourself, make your life better and believe that sooner or later the world around you will shine with new colors. They will be so beautiful that you will not be able to resist saying: “How beautiful the world around me is!”.

Hello, Dear friends! Today I want to talk to you about life and its meaning.

Sooner or later our earthly journey will end. You can see for yourself how fast days, weeks, months fly by. It seems that there is still a lot of time ahead, but when your peers pass away, you understand that this can happen to you at any moment ...

Why are we given this life? Why are we given this body, this physical world?

Is it to live your whole life with an eye to what others think of you?

Is it to live up to someone else's expectations, to live the life that others expect of us?

Is it to never tell our loved ones how much we love them?

Is it to strive to be like someone all your life?

Is it to constantly criticize yourself, to blame yourself for past mistakes?

Is it in order to perform the same actions for decades and never risk changing something in your life?

Is it in order to wear only what fashion dictates and do only what is considered right?

Is it in order to keep a grudge in your soul for decades, to live in the past?

I suggest right now to mentally imagine that your life will end tomorrow. Imagine that you have left your body and the physical world.

How do you feel about leaving this world? Was this life when you can say with confidence: “Yes, it was beautiful, bright life! I followed my passion, I did what inspires me, what I love! I was free in my choice. I enjoyed the beauty of nature, the shining of the stars in the sky, the singing of birds, the taste and aroma of food. I made my dream come true. Or, by at least, tried ... I took a risk. I have known heartfelt love. I know what it is real friendship. I raised happy children. I enriched this world! I made it better! I was happy and helped other people become happier!”

Think about what your answers will be.

Today I'm dealing with human life and see situations where people live for years in a state of dissatisfaction and, nevertheless, they do not dare to leave the old, cling to it and hold on with all their might ... Hated work, obsolete relationships ...

And all because our external consciousness, our mind draws terrible scenes of failure, loneliness, bankruptcy and poverty in the future. It is the fear of the future and the lack of faith in ourselves and our abilities that stops many of us.

A little over 2 years ago I lived this experience and I know about it firsthand!

And now let's remember our inner mind, that boundless, immortal and omnipotent power that is hidden in each of us and is just waiting for us to recognize its existence, turn to it and claim it!

She knows why we came into this world, she knows how we can achieve happiness and joy. The mind does not know, but inner mind knows everything!

Once upon a time I completely trusted my inner consciousness, giving him the task of leading me to the path for which my present life, lead me to the activity that will delight, inspire, which will allow me to discover and maximize my potential, and took a step to nowhere.

It was with my firm decision to change my life and my decisive step that all the most interesting began, and after some time I found myself a completely different person and in a completely different capacity. This path simply could not take place if I relied on the mind.

Don't be afraid of change! Your inner mind will not let you fall and break! He will welcome your decision!

After all, it is he who completely shapes your reality! She is just a reflection of you, your beliefs, feelings and emotions! As soon as you make a firm decision within yourself for change and take the first step, the whole world will turn to face you and support you!

Suddenly there are people who will lend a helping hand… Circumstances will turn out like this what you most an interesting and comfortable way to go from the bleak old to a happy new one!

New opportunities will emerge that you didn't even know about before! The whole world will move around you and just carry it in your arms! The main thing is not to resist!

You just need to make a decision and make a step! Even if it's a step to nowhere... I assure you, there is always a step where you step ... Proven by my own experience!

Why is life given to man?

We come into this world for a reason! and to each his own! I think so))) our souls all live in paradise .. we live, we all live there (if you can call it that, of course) .. bam .. screwed up something .. nuuuu I don’t know ..))) they muddied something like that there ..)) well, for us for correction, for teaching, well, in general, for good purposes, here in this world .. and here it falls to us that we must realize, feel ..)) I will not say that this is a punishment for us, rather a method of education ).. that's when man will pass this stage is worthy (well, or not worthy .. who, after all, how it turns out)) and will return to paradise))). I think that there is different reasons returning us to this world, therefore, everyone is given their own life. depending on the jambs there!! in Paradise))))

The meaning of human life unknown. We are limited in our consciousness. We can know something, comprehend something, but the higher spheres are still inaccessible to us. This question is similar to the question Is there life after death?

Any person, dying, regrets that he is passing away. This applies to everyone: both enlightened academicians and Chukchi from the distant tundra, who have not seen anything in life except their habitat.

A dying millionaire regrets his life, a poor man regrets his life, having lived from hand to mouth all his life. I am sure that even homeless people regret their lives and do not want to die.

Suicides - Why they choose to do this is unclear. In works French sociologist Durkheim talking about social anomie. When the whole society is sick, it puts pressure on individual person and forces everyone to die - both rich and poor. However, this scientist admitted that there are no non-sick societies.

In suicides, most likely, the normal mechanism of perception and analysis of information is disturbed (or maybe vice versa - it becomes normal). After all, we see for ourselves that we all do not live the way we want. We don't say what we think. And we think - not about what we need.

And in general, this topic is very confusing. No one knows the answer to this question in life. Everything will be known there (if, of course, this there exists).

You can, of course, quote the well-known monologue of Pavka Korchagin from the book How the Steel Was Tempered: Life must be lived in such a way that it is not excruciatingly painful

But there is another version based on information obtained from the Bible.

God has a very definite plan for people, and now, to put it modern language, he assembles a reliable team of those people who live by his laws and fulfill his will. As a reward, these people will receive eternal life on Earth, and then God's plan will be revealed to them.

Man is not physical body as many tend to think. Man is a soul. Here life is given to purify the soul. We are specially given a sea of ​​temptations so that we either strengthen spiritual values ​​or succumb to temptation and commit sins. Our soul must be cleansed of vices and all that is bad.
