Chapter 18: Meaning of Life
第18章：生命的意义
In the middle of my life, I began to think about the true meaning of life. What is most important? Is it money and status? Or love and relationships? After years of thinking, I found the answer. The meaning of life does not lie in how much wealth we have, but in how we treat others and ourselves. True happiness comes from inner peace and satisfaction, from being able to help others, and from being able to love and be loved.
在人生的中途，我开始思考生命的真正意义。什么才是最重要的？是金钱和地位吗？还是爱和关系？经过多年的思考，我找到了答案。生命的意义不在于拥有多少财富，而在于我们如何对待他人和自己。真正的幸福来自于内心的平静和满足，来自于能够帮助别人，来自于能够爱人和被爱。
Agnes and I often discussed this issue. We agreed that the meaning of life lies in pursuing truth, doing good deeds, and passing on love and hope. We hope that our children can also understand this and live according to this principle. We tried our best to treat every person we met with kindness, value them for who they are rather than what they have, and live every day with gratitude and purpose.
阿格妮丝和我经常讨论这个问题。我们一致认为，生命的意义在于追求真理，行善积德，以及传递爱和希望。我们希望我们的孩子们也能理解这一点，并按照这个原则生活。我们尽量善待每一个遇见的人，看重他们本身的价值而不是他们拥有的东西，每一天都带着感恩和目的去生活。
