How Can We Make Life More Meaningful?
hěn很duō多rén人huì会wèn问 :shēng huó生活de的yì yì意义shì是shén me什么 ?
Many people ask: What is the meaning of life?
tā它bù不zhǐ shì只是mǎi买gèng更duō多dōng xī东西 、zhuàn赚gèng更duō多qián钱 。
It is not just about buying more things or earning more money.
wǒ men我们cháng cháng常常hěn很 “lǐ xìng理性 ” ,jué de觉得yǒu xiē有些shì事néng能zuò做 ,yǒu xiē有些shì事bù不kě néng可能 。
We often think very 'rationally' and believe some things can be done, while others are impossible.
bǐ rú比如 ,hěn很duō多rén人xī wàng希望zhōng dōng中东yǒu有hé píng和平 ,dàn但yī一wèn问 “zhēn de真的néng能hé píng和平ma吗 ” ,bù shǎo不少rén人yòu又shuō说bù不kě néng可能 。
For example, many people hope for peace in the Middle East, but when asked 'Can there really be peace?', many say it's impossible.
zhè yàng yī lái这样一来 ,wǒ men我们xīn lǐ心里jiù就huì会yǒu有máo dùn矛盾 :xiǎng yào想要gèng更hǎo好de的shì jiè世界 ,què却bù不xiāng xìn相信zì jǐ自己zuò做dé dào得到 。
This creates a conflict in our hearts: we want a better world but don't believe we can achieve it.
màn màn慢慢dì地 ,wǒ men我们huì会bǎ把bào lì暴力dàng chéng当成zhèng cháng正常 ,bǎ把bù不gōng píng公平dàng chéng当成méi bàn fǎ没办法 ,bǎ把hùn luàn混乱dàng chéng当成yí dìng一定huì会fā shēng发生 ,hái还shuō说zhè这jiào叫 “xiàn shí现实 ” 。
Gradually, we start to see violence as normal, injustice as unavoidable, and chaos as inevitable, calling this 'reality'.
yǒu rén有人shuō说pín qióng贫穷hěn很zì rán自然 、zhàn zhēng战争duǒ躲bù不kāi开 、bù gōng不公tài太fù zá复杂suǒ yǐ所以gǎi改bù不le了 。
Some say poverty is natural, war is unavoidable, and injustice is too complex to change.
dàn但pín qióng贫穷bú shì不是qióng rén穷人zào chéng造成de的 ,zhǐ只kào靠gè rén个人biàn变fù富yě也jiě jué解决bù不le了wèn tí问题 。
But poverty is not caused by poor people, and relying on individuals to get rich won't solve the problem.
rén lèi人类de的jìn bù进步cháng cháng常常cóng从 “kàn qǐ lái看起来bù不kě néng可能 ”de的mèng xiǎng梦想kāi shǐ开始 。
Human progress often begins with dreams that seem 'impossible'.
yí gè一个rén人de的shēng huó生活yì yì意义 ,hé和tā他duì对wèi lái未来de的yuàn wàng愿望hěn很yǒu guān有关 ;kuài lè快乐yě也hé和 “yuàn wàng愿望shí xiàn实现le了duō shǎo多少 ”yǒu guān有关 。
The meaning of a person's life is closely related to their hopes for the future; happiness is also related to how many wishes come true.
jīn tiān今天de的wēi jī危机bù不zhǐ yǒu只有qì hòu气候 、zhàn zhēng战争hé和pín qióng贫穷 ,hái yǒu还有wǒ men我们yuè lái yuè越来越bù不gǎn敢xiāng xìn相信zì jǐ自己néng能gǎi biàn改变 。
Today's crises are not only climate, war, and poverty, but also our growing disbelief in our ability to change.
zuò做yí gè一个rén人 ,jiù shì就是yào要bǎ把xīn lǐ心里de的yuàn wàng愿望zhī之huǒ火yì zhí一直liú留zhe着 。
To be human is to keep the fire of desire in our hearts alive.
