Examples of people who seek happiness and live.

(1) We believe that the essence of living for oneself is to follow a reasonable egoistic lifestyle, and it is a value orientation that guides people to be reasonable and self-interested through altruism, which is by no means extreme egoism as the other debater said. If we can't put living for ourselves and living for others in the correct position of social ethics, there is no doubt that the argument will be unfair. (2) Happiness comes from the realization of the subject of happiness-people's needs, ideals, values and right and wrong. (3) The place near the water source is covered with grass, Tsinghua, Shui Mu; But far from the water source, the land is cracked and nothing grows. The criterion for us to judge which lifestyle is happier is undoubtedly who is closer to the source of happiness, that is, which lifestyle can better meet people's needs, ideals, values and the realization of right and wrong. Therefore, we believe that people are happier living for themselves for the following reasons: 1. It is undoubtedly more in line with the standard of happiness to live for yourself and act according to your own values and right and wrong without harming the interests of others. And worry about the world first, and then enjoy the world. 2. Live for others, both active and passive. It is possible to be happy if you take the initiative to live for others, but how can you be happy if you have to live for others because of their requirements or compulsion? Vasily, the first sniper of the Soviet Union in the movie Enemy at the Gates, was originally a person who loved quiet and leisurely life, but because of the needs of the Soviet Red Army and the government, he had to become a red flag on the stage of World War II. It has already surpassed the embodiment of his will and value, and has become an unbearable lightness in Vassili's life, which has almost caused him a fatal disaster. Can you be happy living for others like this? This example only leads to the second argument. Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness cannot be balanced, and living for others will inevitably violate personal values, right and wrong, and moral values at some point. This photographer, who was sent to a military court by the US government in "Broken Glass" for exposing the abuse of prisoners in the United States, did not hesitate to choose the latter when facing the interests of others and his correct sense of right and wrong and responsibility. He may be cast aside as a traitor to the nation, but it will always attract our applause abroad. There are many peace-loving people. But one day the enemy set foot on their land, and they were forced to go to the battlefield without killing the enemy. Our people will be ravaged, but killing him goes against my kind nature. But I will not hesitate to kill him, but my heart died from the moment I raised the knife. When our rules of life are trampled, when our views on right and wrong are powerless, we will be like lost lambs, unable to find our spiritual home. And happiness will also lose the soil on which to live ...) (Can be changed to discuss reasonable egoism/guidance) After pacifying Fang La, Song Wu gradually drifted away and died alone; Faced with the dilemma between heaven and earth and George W. Zi Xuan, he had to choose anonymity to pursue his little happiness. But that's better than helping Kangxi put down the rebellion and then carrying a lifetime debt of conscience. There are so many charming heroes in the country, but are they happy? Oh, how can I seriously bow and scrape to those people with high status and important positions? They will never be seen with a sincere face. Am I unhappy? Life is precious, but love is more expensive. If you are free, you can throw them away. Thanksgiving Day has just passed, and I want to thank today's society for giving us the freedom to pursue our personal values.
