howeve mean your life is.meet it and live if;do not shun it and call if hard names.it is not so bad as you are.it looks poorest when you are richest.the fault-finder will find faults in paradise.love your life,poor as it is.you may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.the setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the smow melts before its door as early in the spring.i do not see but a puiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts ,as in a palace.the town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.may be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means;which should be more disreputable.cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,turn the old,return to them .things do not change;we change sell your clothes and keep your thoughs.

I asked myself that “why do I live?” “What is life?” when I had no fun,no pleasure of the life.
But origin of my question is hardship side of the life. Not beautiful side of it! Not fun side of it! I never ask such a question when receive happy news. When I make more money in my work. When I fall in love with a beautiful and kind girl. I personally never think about this question in happy situations. I have my own computer. Some works, some games, some TV and holy wood films. Every thing is O.K.
But in hardship situation who can Help me? None. I will be alone in hard situations. Nobody care about my future and destiny. I am responsible for my life myself. I will make my feature with my current choices. Every choice that I make will affect my future life in next days. When I try hardly for my life so I will take good result and will be happy in the future. But when I don’t think about my future and do what I want to do and don’t listen to my rationalism so I will not wait for a happy life.

Many questions,such as "Why I live in this world?"and"What I should do in this world?",are worth of thingking for many people,philosophers eapecially. As far as I am concerned, I believe I would feel satisfied if there is no pity left. And this is the most important thing I think I should do in my life, though it is no easy to reach. ???????! We each can do!

Many questions, such as "How to live?"or "Why I should live in this world?" ,are worth of thinking for many many people,especially the philosophers. As far as I am concerned, I belive I would feel satisfied if there is no pity left in my whole life.Yeah, it is hard to reach.Everybody is different. How to select the most sutible liftstyle.There is the rub.
