Giving Life Meaning
Have you thought about what you want people to say about you after you’re gone?Can you hear the voice saying,“He was a great man.” Or “She really will be missed.” What else do they say?
One of the strangest phenomena of life is to engage in a work that will last long after death.Isn’t that a lot like investing all your money so that future generations can bare interest on it?Perhaps,yet if you look deep in your own heart,you’ll find something drives you to make this kind of contribution---something drives every human being to find a purpose that lives on after death.
Do you hope to memorialize your name?Have a name that is whispered with reverent awe?Do you hope to have your face carved upon 50 ft of granite rock?Is the answer really that simple?Is the purpose of lifetime contribution an ego-driven desire for a mortal being to have an immortal name or is it something more?
A child alive today will die tomorrow.A baby that had the potential to be the next Einstein will die from complication is at birth.The circumstances of life are not set in stone.We are not all meant to live life through to old age.We’ve grown to perceive life3 as a full cycle with a certain number of years in between.If all of those years aren’t lived out,it’s a tragedy.A tragedy because a human’s potential was never realized.A tragedy because a spark was snuffed out before it ever became a flame.
By virtue of inhabiting a body we accept these risks.We expose our mortal flesh to the laws of the physical environment around us.The trade off isn’t so bad when you think about it.The problem comes when we construct mortal fantasies of what life should be like.When life doesn’t conform to our fantasy we grow upset,frustrated,or depressed.
We are alive; let us live.We have the ability to experience; let us experience.We have the ability to learn; let us learn.The meaning of life can be grasped in a moment.A moment so brief it often evades our perception.
What meaning stands behind the dramatic unfolding of life?What single truth can we grasp and hang onto for dear life when all other truths around us seem to fade with time?
These moments are strung together in a series we call events.These events are strung together in a series we call life.When we seize the moment and bend it according to our will,a will driven by the spirit deep inside us,then we have discovered the meaning of life,a meaning for us that shall go on long after we depart this Earth.

第十九篇：给生命以意义
给生命以意义
你有没有想过在你离开人世后人们会怎样评价你?你听到过这样的声音么?” 他是一个了不起的人.” 或者”她真的被怀念.” 他们还会说些什么?
人生最奇怪的现象就是从事的一种工作在你死去后还将持续很长时间.它象不象是你投入了所有的钱以用于后代子孙来享受利息?也许,当然如果你看看你的内心深处,你会发现有某种潜在的东西在牵引着你做出这样的贡献—某些东西会牵引着每个人去寻找一个离开人世后还可以待续生命的目标.
你希望别人记住你的名字么?记住一个他们窃窃私语而敬畏的名字?你希望你的面容被刻在50英尺的花岗岩上么?答案真的那么简单么?人一生奉献的目的是为达到永垂不朽还是为了什么其它目的?
一个孩子今天还活着,明天可能就要死去.一个具有成为第二个爱因斯坦潜能的婴儿,可能在一出生就死于并发症.人的生存环境不是从石头中产生的.我们不是都可以活到老.我们慢慢的长大去感受人的某一特定年数的一个生命周期.如果那些年都没有经历过,那简直就是悲剧.之所以是悲剧是因为人的潜能没有被发现.之所以是悲剧是因为火花在变成火焰前就被扼杀了.
我们依靠驱体来接受这些冒险.我们用我们的肉体来适应我们周围的自然环境.如果你仔细想想这种交替换位的生存方式也不赖.当我们构思人类的幻想时出现的问题就是人生应该是怎么样的呢.当现实与幻想不一致时我们会变得很烦躁,很沮丧,很失望.
我们还活着,让我们活着吧.我们有体验生活的能力,让我们体验吧.我们有学习的能力,让我们学习吧.人生的意义需要马上抓住,这一时刻很短暂,它常常在我们还没有来得及去感知时就已经消失了.
人生戏剧性变化背后意味着什么?当所有的真实看上去慢慢消退后我们一生中唯一能抓住的真实是什么?
这些一串串发生的故事我们称之为事件,这些一串串的事件我们称之为人生.当我们抓住了这些时刻且让它们随着你心灵深处产生的愿望发展,这时我们才发现了人生的意义,而这一意义是支撑我们离开人世后继续长存的动力.
好深奥呀,我译了半个多小时.希望能帮上你.
