A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
存在
Existence
I know that I have lived because I have felt, and, feeling giving me the knowledge of my existence, I know likewise that I shall exist no more when I shall have ceased to feel.

A baby's existence for the first three months is a one-way street. One person is doing all the work and the other is crying, sleeping and pooping. So the first moment when you're actually able to do something and they acknowledge your presence, that's a big deal. A very big deal.
婴儿出生后的头三个月是单行道。一个人在做所有的工作,另一个人在哭,睡觉,拉屎。所以当你真正有能力做某件事的时候,他们承认你的存在,这是一件大事。非常重要。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
We are biological creatures. We are born, we live, we die. There is no transcendent purpose to existence. At best we are creatures of reason, and by using reason we can cure ourselves of emotional excess. Purged of both hope and fear, we find courage in the face of helplessness, insignificance and uncertainty.
我们是生物。我们出生,我们生活,我们死亡。存在没有超越的目的。我们至多是理性的产物,通过理性,我们可以治愈自己的情感过剩。清除了希望和恐惧,我们在无助、渺小和不确定中找到了勇气。
