Nowadays,people are crazy about getting much more incomes.In order to hunt for a better job, they never stop learning knowledge,A few people still think about the question what one has lived for as Bertrand Russell did. After reading his essay, I have thought a lot of reasons about it. What I have lived for? My answer is that I have lived for those who love me and I love. In my opinion, people are the most inportant one in my life. As Russell seeking love, I pursue the indiscriminate love among people which was started by Confucius more than two thousand years ago. If there is spare capacity, I will learn more about knowledge. However, I don't have the strong thirst for knowledge as Russell. I recognize that there is a gap between the reality and my expectations from life, so I won't entertain hopes beyond my ability to realize. Generally, to make people around me happy is my dream. What I have lived for is still a question difficult to answer but still worth thinking over.

Most people live for the important people in the their lives, mainly. I do, too. However, I also live for the fields of writing and activism. These fields are where I hope to leave my mark. Leaving a historical mark is very important to me, especially because women, people with disabilities, people of color,and LGBT people aren't supposed to leave a mark. I love the idea of defying that!

I think you can make by being what you are, do your best, be honest, and make yourself busy of things you thought beneficial to people around you.
