第十弹： 为他人活
For the sake of other men
Strange is out situation here upon earth. Each of us comes foe a short visit,
not knowing why,yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose.
From the standpoint of daily life, how ever, there is one thing we do know:
that man is here foe the sake of other men----above all for those upon whose
smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless
unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy.
Many times a day I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon
the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must
exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received. My peace
of mind is often troubles by the depressing sense that I have borrowed too
heavily from the work of other men.
To ponder interminably over the reason for one’s own existence or the
meaning of life in general seems to me, from an objective point of view, to
be sheer folly. And yet everyone holds certain ideals by which he guides his
aspiration and his judgment. The ideals which have always shone before me
and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth. To make
a goal of comfort and happiness has never appealed to me; a system of ethics
built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle.
