First, let's explain two terms:
Meaning of Existence - Exploring the meaning of life’s existence
Life Imprints - Every life has its unique imprint

Life#

First, consider a question: why live, and what does living and life mean?

  1. Birth, aging, illness, and death are the four major encounters of life. We all experience youth, face aging and illness, and ultimately reach the end of life. The entire life process constitutes a complete individual; living allows us to grow, accumulate experiences, and conclude our life journey in a holistic manner.

Living#

  1. Everyone has a unique worldview and aspirations; living gives us the time and conditions to realize ourselves, achieve our ideals, and provide a satisfying account of our lives.
  2. From a philosophical perspective, living itself is the purpose; the process of life is the meaning. As Socrates said, "An unexamined life is not worth living." We should endow life with meaning through reflection and rational judgment.
  3. Taoism advocates going with the flow of nature and respecting life. We come to this world, so we should love life, cherish time, and pursue inner peace and happiness. There is no need to excessively seek fame and fortune; instead, we should follow the natural order.
  4. Life is short and fragile; because of this, life is even more precious. Living itself is the greatest gift life gives us. We should be grateful for the source of life, value time, and live in the present.
  5. Taoism believes that life is a complete process; death is not an end but a Returning to the Origin, a return to the starting point of life. Therefore, there is no need to fear death; what matters is to live fully.
  6. In suffering, it is still possible to find the meaning of life. Pain can temper our will and lead to inner growth. We should maintain an optimistic and open mindset.
