the heart is the most simple question of
all
what is the purpose of life when you
blindly think of it
it's a really easy question to answer
but then
you wonder which answer you actually
pick
is it the religion-based answer to
praise god and make good deeds
or is it the societal answer to make it
money and raise your kids to do the same
[Music]
or is it to just go in the flow and see
where life takes you
where it's very pretty it's pretty
irritating for some of us since humans
have a curious need to know
what happens next and how everything
happened in the first place
this is how theories began to develop
such as
the theory of the big bang which is as
it
which is as explained by nasa is when
the universe was just a single point and
had expanded and stretched
to grow as large as it is today and it's
theorized to still be expanding
now this theory was theorized by the
study of outer space aka astronomy
and many other studies that i cannot
pronounce
but the theory of the big bang marks
the beginning of life but it doesn't
really tell us the purpose of it
but we've discovered it or theorized it
because
because of our need to know and explore
things we just can't help it
now to our society and what they think
i've often heard
really sarcastic answers to the question
what is the purpose of life
and it's between the lines of something
like
oh i eat sleep move and repeat
that is a brutally honest answer to my
question but it doesn't really answer it
see i asked about the purpose of life
why we go through this cycle
what are we trying to achieve so i
thought it was interesting to ask my
little sister nara to see how she's
gonna view the question
she answered it and she said the purpose
of life
is to live with our family our family
to love each other and so
i really liked her question not how i'd
phrase it
but she's got the spirit now
i wanted something deeper from her since
this is the kid that asked me
about the contents of water how do you
answer that i honestly didn't know
and so i needed something deeper it
could be because i'm young and curious i
need expected more from an
eight-year-old
or it could be because i'm human and i'm
really curious
i ran out of people to interview since i
wrote the speech during quarantine and
so it was either my
little sister or the straight cat that
came to visit us from time to
[Music]
i already know my parents take on this
question they've raised me to praise god
work hard and socialize not judge people
for how they express themselves
all that jazz but then this again
is similar to the cycle that i've just
mentioned that i just mentioned
this is how life should go it doesn't
really describe
the purpose of it why am i going through
the cycle
and so i thought there was more to it
so because of my father's environment of
my father's work environment
i had to travel a lot for the past 18
years
and so as a saudi arabian i've traveled
to
france scotland england and china so
i've lived in
all of these countries that have very
different cultures
and so i've been exposed by these
cultures and ideas and point of views
from all these different people
and this made me a third culture kid
which basically means in my own word my
own words
it means that i basically don't know
what to think
but i'm also expected to think a certain
way
depending on which culture i'm living at
at the moment
i'm always told to keep my original
mindset
whatever that means but i think it's a
skill
it's a skill to be able to view a
situation from many many different
point of views it's a skill that we all
need
in order to solve our future conflicts
that we're facing right now
now a couple of things that i had that
i've had enlightening conversations
about over the past years while studying
abroad
is how we should tackle different global
issues and
some of these global issues include
environmental issues
racial and gender discrimination poverty
and unfortunately
many other more
now i'm fortunate because my school cisb
we get to tackle and talk about these
global issues on a school scale so that
one
day we can grow up and solve these
global issues
on a more global scale see this is the
most important part of living
being able to learn and be aware about
how change can affect our world
and affect ourselves
see change can be anything it could be
praising others instead of bringing them
down or
changing your lifestyle just a little
bit to make it more easier
friendlier so the reason why i brought
up global issues into my talk
is because as i mentioned in the
beginning of my talk
where i mentioned about the big bang
theory
one where us humans have a curious need
to know how everything had began
i also think it's very important to save
ourselves from the
approach the ending of our world that
our own daily actions are causing
that sounds pretty dramatic i have to
admit but so does these global issues
so a great way to start is to start
spreading awareness about these little
issues and how they can
permanently permanently affect our
world and our future generations lives
it could be as simple as posting an
educational post
on instagram or any other social media
that's a great way to start
now what i think is the beauty of life
is us all of us working together to
better ourselves
to better our environment our economy
our society and most importantly to
better our
world now
[Music]
all these aspects that i've just
mentioned which one may depend on to
answer the question
what is the purpose of life they all
just set
views of what we're told our uh
what we're told are the way we should
live
so people have sense of assurance or a
clear answer
so they don't panic but some of us which
i think are the bravest
are the ones that just go with the flow
of life and see where life takes them
i myself need a sense of assurance from
time to time to tell me that
i'm gonna be okay on my journey
and so i research sometimes about
you know viewing numerical signs so that
they can basically tell me that i'm okay
but this is just a simple
part of coping really and so
my life is pretty basic i'll have to
admit i'm too anxious to be the one to
go with the flow of life
and i'm pretty curious i like to ask
questions i like to try new things
it could be because i'm young but that's
who i am
and so i believe that there's no set
format to answering the question what's
the purpose of feel discombobulated just
by
hearing it which i think is pretty sad
since we've spent all this time living
and we have to study
the question that the six worded
question that asks
us about our lives
but hey after 10 minutes of talking
about what the meaning of life should be
i'll have to admit i'm only 18 and i
barely know
what my meaning if life is but
if you have it all figured out don't
hesitate to share
and he i'll listen i won't negotiate
i'll just listen and share i promise
thank you guys

心是所有问题中最简单的问题
当你盲目地思考生命的目的是什么时
,
这是一个非常容易回答的问题,
但随后
你想知道你实际
选择的
答案是基于宗教的
赞美上帝和善行的答案 行为
还是社会的答案是
赚钱并抚养你的孩子做同样的
[音乐],
还是只是顺其自然,看看
生活会把你带到
哪里它非常漂亮,这
对我们中的一些人来说很烦人,因为人类
好奇地想知道
接下来会发生什么以及一切
最初
是如何发生的 这就是理论是如何开始发展
的 点并且
已经扩展和伸展
到今天的大小并且理论上它现在
仍在扩展
这个理论是由
外层空间的研究也就是天文学
和许多其他我无法
发音的研究理论化的,
但是 大爆炸理论
标志着生命的开始,但它并没有
真正告诉我们它的目的,
但我们已经发现或理论化了它
,
因为我们需要知道和探索
我们现在无法帮助它的事物
我们的社会以及他们认为
我经常听到
的对生活的目的是什么的问题的真正讽刺的答案
,它在
诸如“
哦,我吃饭睡觉”之类的字里行间,重复一遍
,这是对我的问题的残酷诚实的回答,
但事实并非如此 '没有真正回答它
看到我问生活的目的
为什么我们要经历这个循环
我们要达到什么目标所以我
觉得问我的
小妹妹奈良看看她
会如何看待
她回答的问题很有趣,她 说生活的目的
是和我们的家人一起生活,我们的家人
彼此相爱,所以
我真的很喜欢她的问题,而不是我会如何
表达它,
但她现在有了精神
我想从她那里得到更深层次的东西,因为
这是那个问的孩子 我
关于 你怎么
回答我真的不
知道所以我需要更深入的东西这
可能是因为我年轻和好奇我
需要从一个八岁的孩子身上得到更多的期望
或者可能是因为我是人类 我
真的很好奇
,因为我
在隔离期间写了演讲,
所以没有人可以采访,所以不时来拜访我们的是我的
小妹妹或直猫
[音乐]
我已经知道我的父母承担
他们提出这个问题是为了赞美上帝
努力工作和社交,而不是评判
人们如何表达自己
所有的爵士乐,但这
又类似于我刚刚提到的循环
,我刚刚提到
这就是生活应该如何去 它并没有
真正描述
它的目的为什么我要经历
这个
周期所以我认为还有更多因为
我父亲的工作环境我父亲的工作环境
在过去的 18 年里我不得不经常旅行
等等 作为一个沙特阿拉伯人,我旅行过 d
到
法国、苏格兰、英国和中国,所以
我生活在
所有这些有着非常
不同文化的国家
,所以我接触到了这些
文化、思想和
所有这些不同人的观点
,这使我成为了第三种文化 孩子
,这基本上意味着我
自己的话
被告知要保持我原来的
心态,
无论这意味着什么,但我认为这是一种
技能,
它是一种能够
从许多不同的
角度看待情况的技能,这是我们都需要的一种技能,
以解决我们未来的冲突
我现在面临的一些事情,在过去几年里,
我在出国留学期间进行了富有启发性的对话
,那
就是我们应该如何解决不同的全球
问题,
其中一些全球问题包括
环境问题、
种族问题 和性别歧视
贫穷 不幸的是
还有更多
现在我很幸运,因为我的学校 cisb
我们可以在学校范围内解决和讨论这些
全球性问题,以便有
一天我们能够成长并
在更全球性的范围内解决这些全球性问题 看到这
是生活中最重要的部分
能够学习并意识到
变化如何影响我们的世界
并影响我们自己
让它更容易更
友好,所以
我在演讲中提出全球问题的原因
是因为正如我在
演讲开始时
提到的,我提到了大爆炸
理论,我们人类好奇地
需要知道一切是如何开始的
我也认为让
我们自己免于
接近
我们自己的日常行为导致的世界末日是非常重要的,
这听起来很戏剧化,我不得不
承认 但这些全球性问题
也是如此,所以一个很好的开始方法是开始
传播对这些小
问题的认识,以及它们如何
永久地影响我们的
世界和我们后代的生活,
这可能就像
在 Instagram 或任何网站上发布教育帖子一样简单 其他社交媒体
是现在开始的好方法
我认为生活的美好
是我们所有人共同努力,
改善自己
,改善环境,改善经济
,改善社会,最重要的是,
现在改善我们的世界
[音乐]
所有这些方面 我刚才
提到了可能依赖哪一个来
回答这个问题
什么是生活的目的他们都
只是
对我们被告知的内容设定看法
保证或
明确的答案,
这样他们就不会惊慌,但
我认为最勇敢的
我们中的一些人只是顺应生活的潮流
,看看生活会把他们带到哪里,
我自己需要一种保证感
不时告诉我,
我在旅途中会没事的
,所以我有时会研究
你是否知道查看数字符号,以便
他们基本上可以告诉我我没事,
但这只是
应对的一个简单部分,真的和 所以
我的生活很基本我不得不
承认我太急于成为一个
跟随生活潮流的人
而且我很好奇我喜欢问
问题我喜欢尝试新事物
这可能是因为我 “我很年轻,但这
就是我
,所以我相信没有固定的
格式来回答这个问题,听到
它就感到困惑的目的是
什么,我认为这很可悲,
因为我们已经度过了所有这些时间
,我们必须 研究
那个问我们生活的六个字的
问题,
但是嘿,在
谈论生活的意义应该是什么 10 分钟后,
我不得不承认我只有 18 岁,我
几乎不知道
如果生活是什么意思 但
如果你都想通了,不要
犹豫分享
,他我会 我听我不会谈判
我只会听和分享我保证
谢谢你们
