In thinking about life, the answer to the question of "why", that is, the purpose of life, should be based on the value characteristics of life and the value evaluation of life.

A person consciously pursues the purpose of his life because he has made a positive value judgment on the life he has chosen and thinks that such a life is valuable or can create value. Answering the question of "how", that is, the attitude towards life, should also be based on the value judgment of life.
