A 1996 memoir manuscript written by Barry Sherman reveals the late pharmacy mogul gave ample thought to the meaning of life, and concluded there was none.

“What seems clear is that most if not all theists cannot define that in which they purport to believe, and any attempt at explanation leads to absurdities,” a portion of the first chapter reads.
......
Barring the existence of God, and free will, Sherman wrote: “Life has no meaning or purpose.”

“ ‘Meaning’ and ‘purpose’ are, by definition, dependant on an intelligent being having an intent in mind. A corollary of the nonexistence of a ‘God’ is that we are here with no ‘meaning’ or ‘purpose’ to our lives,” he wrote.

Instincts, rather than God, explain humans’ pursuits of happiness and success — including his own, Sherman wrote.

“I cannot see that human behaviour differs in any fundamental way from that of numerous species on the savannahs of Serengeti. We are all driven by our instincts to eat, drink, copulate, protect ourselves and our young, and cooperate with others, particularly those most closely related to us, if and when it is to our mutual advantage,” he wrote.

“Happiness is, I believe, best defined as satisfaction of these drives, and it is that which we all pursue.”

cow，竟然没意义这么多年

原来富豪也这么空虚。

 

[我来说两句]

原来富豪也这么空虚。

大概就是因为富豪了，挣钱的动力没了，功也成名也就了，没有奔头，那可能真是不踏实了；何不如全退而致力于慈善事业，服务于平民，至少旅游一番 - 当然这个也可能干够了，感觉太可惜了。

人若挣得全世界却丧失了生命又有什么意义呢？人能拿什么换取生命呢？

谈生命的意义有点儿虚。我们来谈一下钱意义如何?

比如说, 一百加元钞票的价值是100加元。一百美元钞票的价值是100美元。为什么呢？因为制造这些钞票的加拿大美国当局赋予它们各自的价值。

那么, 对钞票本身而言，它们的价值是什么?
