believe the immediate purpose of life is to live - to survive. All known forms of life go through life cycles. The basic plan is: birth - maturing - mating - reproducing - death.

Thus the immediate purpose of human life is for each individual to fulfill his life cycle. This involves proper maturing into the fully developed adult of the specie.

The pine tree grows straight unless harmful influences warp it. So does the human being. It is a finding of the greatest significance that the mature man and woman have the nature and characteristics of the good spouse and parent: the ability to enjoy responsible working and loving.

If the world consisted primarily of mature persons - loving, responsible, productive, toward family, friends and the world - most of our human problems would be resolved.

But most people have suffered in childhood from influences which have warped their development. Hence, as adults they have not realized their full and proper nature. They feel something is wrong without knowing what it is. They feel inferior, frustrated, insecure, and anxious. And they react to these inner feelings just as any animal reacts to any hurt or threat: by readiness to fight or to flee. Flight carries them into alcoholism and other mental disorders. Fight impels them to crime, cruelty, war.

This readiness to violence, this inhumanity of man to man, is the basic problem of human life - for, in the form of war, it now threatens to extinguish us.

我认为生命最首要的目的就是生活活着。一切已知的生命形式都要经过盛衰周期，即出生、成长、交配、繁衍、直至死亡。

正因如此，人生的首要目的就是要走完生命的一个周期，这包括要茁壮成长，长成一个真正成熟的个体。

松树笔直而挺拔，除非有后天的不良影响将其扭曲。人类也是一样。成年男女都具备成为忠诚伴侣和慈爱父母的本性与特点，那就是乐于尽责地工作，乐于献出尽责的爱这一发现具有非常重要的意义。

如果世上所有的人都是真正成熟的个体，都能对家庭、对朋友乃至对整个世界充满爱心、负起责任、多做贡献，那人类所面临的许多困难都可迎刃而解。

然而，幼年时受到的不良影响扭曲了许多人的成长。这些人在成年以后失去了部分人格，虽然他们意识到出了问题，却不知道问题在哪里。他们自卑而又焦虑，灰心丧气，缺乏安全感。内心的折磨使他们像受到伤害或威胁的野兽，要么选择争斗，要么选择逃逸。选择逃避的人用酒精来麻醉自己，甚至落到精神错乱的地步;选择争斗的人变得残暴，或犯下罪行，或掀起战乱。

暴力一触即发，人类自相残杀这就是人类社会面临的基本问题，因为暴力和残杀演变为战争，威胁到了全人类的生存。

优美励志英语段落摘抄阅读

Without the fight-flight reaction, man would never have survived the cave and the jungle. But now, through social living, man has made himself relatively safe from the elements and wild beasts. He is even learning to protect himself against disease. He can produce adequate food, clothing and shelter for the present population of the earth. Barring a possible astronomical accident, he now faces no serious threat to his existence, except one - the fight-flight reaction within himself. This jungle readiness to hurt and to kill is now a vestigial hangover like the appendix, which interferes with the new and more powerful means of coping with nature through civilization. Trying to solve every problem by fighting or fleeing is the primitive method, still central for the immature child. The later method, understanding and co-operation, requires the mature capacities of the adult.

In an infantile world, fighting may be forced upon one. Then it is more effective if handled maturely for mature goals. Probably war will cease only when enough people are mature.
