I don't understand. Why live?

One day, Zen master Wude was weeding in the yard, and three believers came forward to salute him and said, "People say that Buddhism can relieve the pain of life, but we have believed in Buddhism for many years, but we are not happy. What's wrong? "

The unscrupulous Zen master put down his hoe, looked at them calmly and said, "Happiness is not difficult. First of all, we must understand why we are alive. "

Three believers, look at me and I'll look at you. I didn't expect the unscrupulous Zen master to ask them questions.

After a while, A said, "People can't die! Death is terrible, so people should live. "

B said, "I work hard now, just to enjoy delicious food, Man Cang and a room full of children and grandchildren when I get old."

C said, "I don't have your high expectations. I must live, or who will support the whole family? "

The unscrupulous Zen master laughed and said,' No wonder you can't get happiness. All you think about is death, old age and forced labor, not ideals, beliefs and responsibilities. Life without ideals, beliefs and responsibilities is of course very tired. "

Believers disapprovingly said, "Ideals, beliefs and responsibilities are easier said than eaten!" Zen master Wude said, "What can you say to make you happy?"

A said, "With fame, you have everything and you can be happy."

B said, "With love, there is happiness."

C said, "With money, you can be happy."

Zen master Wude said, "Then let me ask you a question: Why do some people worry when they have fame, suffer when they have love, and worry when they have money?" The believers were speechless.

Zen master without virtue said: "ideals, beliefs and responsibilities are not empty, but are reflected in people's lives all the time." We must change the concept and attitude of life, and life itself can be changed. Fame must serve the public to be happy; Love is meaningful only if it is dedicated to others; Money is valuable only if it is given to the poor. Such a life is a truly happy life. "

There is a big truth in the short story.
