Confessions

To be honest, this book brought me a lot of thinking. This book is called one of the three major confessions, and it is worthy of the name and cannot be doubted. Books like this have never been available in the Internet literature world. No matter how interesting or thoughtful the Internet articles are, it is difficult to compete with useful books like this that can bring us a lot of knowledge and insights. If you want to relax, you can read online articles, but there really aren't any good online articles that you can read in all aspects. Most of the time, we abandon it after reading one or two chapters. That's why classics are called masterpieces because they allow us to read them continuously, improve our cultivation, and cultivate our sentiments. Let us enrich our knowledge, pursue our ideals, and distinguish right from wrong. These are the books that can bring us the source of our spirit!

If you are depressed, don't read it, just skip it before you finish it. It is the author's thinking on the meaning of life at different stages, which is very profound.

While reading the book, what touched me most was the author's affirmation of the working people's reason to live, their tenacity and unyielding determination in the face of hardships. Moreover, at the end of writing and thinking, the author still returned to his original values, which made me feel deeply powerless and helpless, just like I kept going around and around, stumbling, sometimes despairing, sometimes hoping. Perhaps it is good to have this painful and rational process.

I use a poem by Lu Zhishen to express my feelings. I have never cultivated good deeds in my life. I only know how to kill people and set fires. Suddenly I opened the golden rope and broke the jade lock here. The tide came from the Qiantang River. Today I know who I am.

Thoughts after viewing: Beautifully lower than life, learn the meaning of surrender, explore your own path of faith, and save yourself from the torture you have planted.

Tolstoy's search for the meaning of life can only be used as a reference for the meaning of life. Everyone will find their own meaning in different lives.

When you first read it, you will see a kind of intellectual arrogance in the text, such as many people with our educational background. As the author continues to awaken, the author has a heart that pursues truth and pursues the truth of life. It is true that this process was extremely painful and difficult, with conflicts and conflicts, and even depression and suicidal thoughts. But you can't die in confusion when the truth is not clear. Later, I became religious and happily walked away from conflicts. The author has faith, but it may not be a religious doctrine. Religions are all about serving circles. The author's belief is to improve himself, be altruistic, and love others. I once read some words that probably mean that in terms of faith, life and practice, it is more difficult to be educated than to be uneducated. Maybe it's because educated people have too many distracting thoughts and are too rational, and the issue in life has never been about logic and rationality. Therefore, the author sees the wisdom of life and the faith of life in the people at the bottom. This is a process of getting rid of self-conceit, self-conception, and self-grasping. So in the end we can be equal and altruistic, and go among the working people. A noble soul will slowly wake up, and the only purpose of the body's life is to improve itself. All pain is an opportunity to free you and help you find the truth of life. Cocoon will be completed on April 29th

People's thoughts are like a boat drifting with the current. They think about how to live, but they are drifting with the current.

Some of the views are pessimistic, but they are also true. Maybe it's just like what he said, we always pursue nothingness and abandon our original intention. Our desires form our beliefs, and we face people with different beliefs expelling each other.

After reading this confession with tears in my eyes, I am honored to find that everyone has the same problem as me, namely: 1. Life is full of lies, and we are deceived into living by lies. 2. Death is man's real enemy, and avoiding death is the root cause of many of our behaviors. 3. Many things we do are meaningless and will ultimately be in vain. Many people who tell you that they are meaningful just want to earn fame and benefits from it. In this case, what is the meaning of living? My answer is: Be your own god, embrace your own infinity, do not succumb to this disordered world, do not be affected by this chaotic secular world, overcome the instinctive pursuit of delusions deep in your heart, do what you should do, and try to help as many people as possible.

I originally wanted to find the previous interpretations of life in this book, but I found that as the author said, I read many books and asked many people, and their answers were all ambiguous. There is no single accurate answer to the meaning of life. Maybe life itself does not have any meaning. I don't know, and I even feel confused about it. I also often wonder, why did I come to this world? Are my body and my soul one? What is the meaning of my life? What allows me to live in this world? What is the end of life? … The world seems like a huge mystery.

The author does have a very deep understanding of life. This book is really a good work. The sentence that fascinates me the most is "I was living a mediocre life, going round and round, and inadvertently entered an abyss, and clearly saw that there was nothing in front of me but death. I couldn't stop, couldn't look back, and couldn't close my eyes and not see the doom ahead. Except for the illusion of life and happiness, except for real suffering and death, there was nothing ahead." Life is like this. There is nothing but pain. What this book gave me is that the so-called happiness is to abandon pain. People do not die only when they are old. The road of life is full of various accidents and diseases. People's first task is to avoid pain rather than pursue happiness. I wish you all to avoid pain and usher in happiness

The issues Tolstoy is thinking about are what I have thought about, and the method Tolstoy came up with is exactly what I have thought about. Death is better than life, which is what I look forward to. As Shi Tiesheng said, "Death is a holiday that is bound to come, so there is no need to let him come earlier, because he will come later." "Come early", this once plunged me into the abyss of panic and nihilism, but when I understood that people are truly alive only when they live in the present, I understood that living in the present is actually the real way of living. In my opinion, "the meaning of living is living itself."

Life is meaningless, here it refers to emptiness. Later, the author thought about why human beings can live to this day. Here it refers to inheritance, and specifically elaborated on the limited, such as the hard work of the working people in the past and the emptiness and numbness of some people around them. But the author did not want to be a hanged sheep until he discovered faith and tried to accept it rationally. Believe in God later. God here is a concept and the meaning of life. Later, I joined the Eastern religion and agreed with their ideas. It wasn't until the Orthodox priests and priests, not to mention more, that killing was just, which shocked the author's worldview, and he quit the Orthodox Church at this moment. This book is finished.

Believe in God and pursue moral self-improvement, but do not believe in the existence of God. As Shi Tiesheng said, people can go to heaven but not to heaven. Going to heaven is a process of self-improvement and a belief that can keep oneself moving forward. God is in your heart, not in the church

Reading Leo Tolstoy's "Confessions", I was shocked by his ultimate questioning of the meaning of life. The book reveals the painful struggle under the crisis of faith, and the process from rational dilemma to religious enlightenment is sincere and profound. It not only shows the violent tremor of thought, but also triggers readers' endless thinking about the value of survival and spiritual belonging.

The more I think about the meaning of life, the more scared I become

Nothingness should be something that modern people cannot avoid, cannot escape from, and are trapped in a whirlpool. The only thing that can fight against nothing is existence, and what exactly is existence? Modern people have received education, and everyone can be said to be a philosopher, looking for their own existence and the meaning of their own existence. It is impossible for others to tell you something. What others tell you is their own, not yours. People who cannot find something or are looking for something are equivalent to being in nothingness, so they start to say that they believe in nihilism. Nothingness is the end of life, but is this really the case? No, I'm just lost. Each of us is Kotomine Kirei, and we are all in a situation where Kotomine Kirei has not found the way to happiness (although it is a bit negative), but he has found the meaning of his life, even if it is harm to others. The spirit of modern people is empty, moving like a walking zombie. To find your own way of survival, you can only read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Knowledge, theory, practice, communication, you can only find your own way. Everyone is Tolstoy, and everyone is experiencing their own mileage. Schopenhauer was truly a heinous 😡. He influenced so many people, became a mentor to so many people, and caused mental turmoil to so many people [laughing evilly]

This book revolves around the meaning of life and religious beliefs. Readers with faith may have stronger feelings after reading it. When exploring the meaning of life, we often fall into a huge abyss, because after thinking about it, people are here to live a lifetime, so why should they live such a life? Wouldn't it be nice to have no such experience at all? So I feel that life is nothingness. When we fall into the abyss, all the teachings from faith pull us out of the abyss, give us hope, and tell us why we live, why we suffer disasters, and why we are happy in this life. I think this is a major reason why faith has stayed in the world for a long time. However, we cannot help but doubt our faith. Is there really a creator? Is what I believe in absolutely correct? Does faith really mean anything? So the more I think about it, the more confused I become. I either feel guilty when I look at those believers, or I show off to accompany the believers, or I plan to abandon my faith directly and want to find out everything about life. Unfortunately, the pursuit was fruitless, and my heart became empty and anxious. So, the eyes turned to everything that existed in itself. Starting from the starting point, those who believe in continue to live hard for the paradise of the next life, and those who do not believe continue to live for the happiness of this life. Ultimately, the most ordinary things are the answers to life. It is a book that touches me deeply. I often think about life and doubt my faith, but like the author, I have no results. After no results, I feel fear, and after the fear, I return to normal...

This book resonated with me very much, just like my entrepreneurial process, full of doubts and reflections. The meaning of life and the attitude towards death discussed by Tolstoy in the book made me think about my own life. I particularly hated the character in the book. He was always complaining but unwilling to make the effort to change. This reminds me of some people I meet in life who always blame others but never try to change their destiny. This book made me understand that the meaning of life lies in continuous exploration and growth. Even if we eventually return to the starting point, our efforts will not be in vain.

Explore and live for all mankind

After reading this book, I want to say something. I don't seem to know what to say. Life is the continuation of the natural unconscious. To develop your own life according to the protagonist of your own life and become the person you want to be. This may be the meaning of my life.

The author's faith is actually the source of his pain. When I first read it, I felt a sense of contradiction. The huge difference between ideal and reality tore his spirit. Just like what he said, life is like a hole, reincarnation, and everything is in vain. The faith instilled in him since childhood is worthless under the reflection of knowledge and reality. Later, the author's search for faith and improvement was in vain. Check in first

I feel deeply that people live for faith and hope...

A very shocking book I read this book one day during my free time in college, and I thought I would not deliberately read many books, but the fire burning in my heart had nowhere to put it. The author and I are the same kind of people, and saying this seems to be a bit of a bias to elevate me, but I know and understand the author's madness. Perhaps this is the ultimate proposition of human reason, all pointing in the same direction: why do we live? The germ of the problem cannot be traced. Maybe it was accidentally staring at the corner of the ceiling in kindergarten, or maybe it was the belief I had while reading chicken soup novels and storybooks when my parents went to the supermarket when I was eight or nine years old. I have to admit that in the process of searching, I may have gone crazy and suffered from depression. Fortunately, I found my answer. I just want to quote a sentence from Rabindranath Tagore's poem: "I believe in your love." It seems that I must be classified as the second type of person by the author, but this is determined by history, just like the author grazing on the grassland and birds flying in the sky. My first reaction when I read it was a sentence I wrote before, do sunflowers always point to the sun? I cannot be sure that the conclusion derived by my rationality must be correct, but I know that the inertia of irrational history is irresistible. If people do not deceive themselves, A book that resonated with me before, The Myth of Sisyphus, writes: How can I deny this overwhelming force? I don't know eternity and the future, because it is destined to be an abyss of nothingness. I saw history, and at first it made me despair, because I thought My "noble" moral requirements do not allow me to do this. How can my meaning be eating, drinking, eating, sleeping, and sleeping like an animal? How can it be XX? If it is love such as Platonic love, then gender and appearance should be irrelevant. If this kind of love is as Extrapolating from the "moon" of human existence, all material needs such as what to eat and what to thirst for can be compromised: what I eat and what I thirst for are just physiological needs, which are called necessary conditions to maintain human physiological characteristics. As long as it is not unpalatable (or other), only spiritual things can arouse my interest. In fact, I wanted to do this in the past, until I fell in love for the first time, and it later ignited all the madness in my life. I can't tell the specific story, and I feel the absurdity behind the veil. So I doubted love, and my reason said no There is always a way out, because people without a way will keep thinking I question the language, its accuracy I question art, believing that the glimpses in its creator's mind are better than the countless expressions of reality. I have all kinds of doubts Later I discovered that, in fact, what I had always doubted was truth and absurdity. I could not be sure, and no one could be sure of everything, even if 1+1 equals 2. But in fact, it is not important. People only need to believe in what they believe. Religious people look towards Buddha, sunflowers towards the sun, and I, towards love There is no need to talk about the process But this is my meaning "I believe in your love" let these be my last words It has to be said that when reason ignites the fire of seeking meaning, it is enough to destroy a person But this may also be a part of the nobility of the human spirit.

The hand holding the vine in the well cannot be let go. Even if there is fear, pain, and indifference in the heart, there is also joy, relaxation, calmness, and appreciation. You still have to eat honey. The honey here is sweeter, so you should eat it more. Life doesn't matter life or death, but when you have the ability to hold on to your hands, you have to hold on tightly. This is the meaning of "It doesn't matter"

I didn't quite understand it the first time, but everything felt very real! I didn't quite understand it the second time. The end of life is nothingness? After reading it for the third time, it makes sense. At the beginning, life is about secularity, rules, and beliefs. But after these are broken, there are denials and denials! Don't be afraid of the floating clouds covering your eyes, because you are at the highest level. But after breaking through the clouds, you will examine the childishness and absurdity of the past, and you will also return to your own soul, the current secular world, and return to nature! After being in a cage for a long time, I can return to nature!

This confession should be written in conjunction with Anna Karenina It is Tolstoy's pursuit of the meaning of life, just like his questioning in Anna, can people be free without God? It is also the same as the discussion of rationality in Dostoyevsky's Notes from the Basement. People cannot live under rationality forever. Human reason has limitations, and the exploration of truth has boundaries. Beyond this boundary are gods and gods, such as Newton and Einstein. Regarding belief in God, Nietzsche should have been influenced by similar thoughts, proposing that God is dead and people must transcend themselves.

Life has no meaning. It is we who give meaning to everything we do. When you are confused, don't think about the future. Try to divert your attention until you get out of this fog. You will find that the so-called life is nothing but what comes from the heart.

It turns out that my confused thoughts were also shared by the ancients 😂
