Abstract

Man is a natural existence whose difference from other natural objects is only in form. From this point of view, we can say that life is insignificant, as like other natural objects, we don't know what life is and what death is. When we discuss the meaning of life, we can also ask: what is the meaning of a stone's existence? The so-called meaning of life only exists in the human society in three aspects: the creation of material, the creation of human beings themselves and the spiritual creation. The subject who makes these creations is only the ego, because all activities must be made by the ego in flesh, and there would have been no history had there not been the ego. Therefore, the value of life is reflected in all the creation activities, in which only the spiritual creation is the most valuable. The value of ego and the social value are unified, and the actualization of personal value is in direct proportion to that of social value. Those who actualize their utmost social value is the actual strong.
