What is the value of a person’s life? What is the value of a person’s life?

During your lifetime, you must fulfill your mission;

this is the most important.

We’re not talking about completing a great mission, duty, or responsibility;

but at the very least,

you should accomplish something, you should accomplish something.

Looking back at the path you walked,

recalling the work you did and the price you paid over the years,

you feel no regrets or accusations, you feel no regrets or accusations.

You believe that these actions don’t merit remorse,

and you live with a sense of value,

and you feel steady and comforted in your heart,

and have no regrets, no regrets.

They are the result and the reward

of pursuing positive things and the truth.

II

Consider a situation where a person is faced with a task

they should do or want to do in their lifetime.

After finding their place, they stand in their proper position,

holding firm to their position,

taking great pains, paying the price, and devoting all their energy

to accomplish and finish what they should work on and complete,

what they should work on and complete.

When they finally stand before God to give an account,

they feel relatively satisfied,

there’s no accusations or regrets in their heart,

and they have a sense of comfort and reward,

that they have lived a valuable life.

This goal, regardless of its scale,

is specific enough, practical enough, and realistic enough.

III

In order to live a valuable life and ultimately achieve this kind of reward,

it’s worth it for a person’s body to suffer a bit and pay a bit of a price,

even if they experience exhaustion and physical illness.

When a person comes into this world, it isn’t for the enjoyment of the flesh,

nor is it solely for eating, drinking, and having fun.

One shouldn’t live just for those things;

that is not the value of human life, nor is it the right path.

The value of human life and the right path to follow

involve accomplishing something valuable

and completing one or multiple jobs of value.

This is not called a career; it’s called the right path, and the proper task.

It’s worth it for a person to pay any price

in order to complete some work of value,

live a meaningful and valuable life, and pursue and attain the truth.

IV

If you truly desire to pursue and understand the truth,

to embark on the right path in life,

to fulfill your duty well, fulfill your duty well

and to live a valuable and meaningful life,

then you should not hesitate to give all of your energy, pay the price,

and give all of your time and the extent of your days.

If you experience a bit of illness during this period

it will not matter, it will not crush you.

Isn’t this far superior to a lifetime of ease and idleness,

nurturing the physical body to the point

that it is well-fed and healthy,

and ultimately achieving longevity?

Which one of these two options is more conducive to a valuable life?

Which one can bring comfort and no regrets to people

when they face death at the very end?

Living a meaningful life means to feel results and comfort in your heart.
