Ancient, interesting, previously thought of, solved, forgotten problems, but indeed inspiring problems.
- In fact, by thinking with a "Japanese mindset," we can actually discover that this problem is equivalent to "what should life be like?" At this step, we can think of many things, but what follows is confusion: "Whose life is ta asking about?"
- Yes, this is the most important question of this sentence. It lacks a precise definition of the words. Let's look at this problem again and we can find that we cannot know what the definition of [life] and [meaning] is. We can say that the former is [everyone's life], or it can be said to be [the life of the person looking at the problem].
- As a result, we can also find that we don't even know the meaning of the word [life], or we can only point out some similar words, similar to it, but we cannot accurately describe it like a precise definition. As for [meaning], it becomes even more unclear. What is [meaning]?
- Therefore, we can find that this problem is confusing, or to put it bluntly, it has no discussion value in strict terms without determining its specific context.
Very "scientific thinking," but in fact, this is a linguistic problem, but we can still draw a conclusion: "discussing the 'meaning of life' is fundamentally meaningless."
- Well, congratulations, you have discovered the core contradiction of many philosophical propositions. None of them have a specific definition.
- So, going back to what I was saying, in this process of thinking, we may more or less have the feeling of "no, this is not the answer I want," because most of us should be asking, "What should my life be like?" instead of that meaningless question. Or, thinking divergently, "What should the lives of most people be like?"
- Oh no, you shouldn't ask me this question. I am just "other people" and not "myself." That is a question for everyone themselves. But I am happy to provide you with a few possibly more painful and inspiring classic answers:
- Do you want to sacrifice your freedom of thought, your attention, and give up thinking for constant happiness?
- Do you want to constantly think like an ascetic, facing the pain and despair brought by temporary wisdom, but gaining more pain and despair from knowledge?
- Is the expansion of breadth of experience more important or the increase in depth of thinking more important? Which one is more recognized by you, emotion-oriented thinking or purposeful thinking like religion?
- When the actions and opportunities for expanding depth and breadth conflict, which one will you choose?
- But no matter what, the core of this question still involves the fact that "you should choose for yourself," but this conceals the fact that the choices themselves will bring different costs and results, even if none of them are the best before you make a choice.
- Yes, it is a black box, a war full of fog. Everyone is their own commander and soldier. You don't know what you will get with your next step, leaving you only with a countdown of decisions and fear of [possibilities].
- You can only open your eyes wide, see everything you have, use your strategic thinking and rationality, as well as courage, to decide everything.

Damn it, why is the woman next to me so uncivilized? How dare she take off her shoes on the train? I've been smelling her stinky feet for eight hours. It's really unlucky to have bought a seat ticket.
