The meaning of life

A turtle sees a bee is busy gathering honey and says to it:"I heard your life is only several months, really?"
The bee glances at the turtle ,says:"we do can survive only few months."
The turtle says:"our life is very long ,many of us can survive more than hundred years. Why not enjoy your short life instead of work hard for others?"
The bee answers :"Because we know our lives are not long ,so we cherish time greatly.We also tr treasure our lives. Based on that reason ,we will utilize every minute and second fully to do more beneficial things for human being before we die. "
The turtle asks :"You will leave the world soon. so You don`t feel unhappy and inferior, do you ? "
The bee answers :"of course ,we all feel unhappy since we can`t live in the world long ,but we don`t feel inferior .On the contrary , we feel a sense of pride for brewing plentiful honey for human being through our hard--working . Although our lives are short, the meaning of life is unlimited. In my opinion, it is meaningless for some people to survive in the world over hundred years if they do nothing throughout their lives. What do you think?"
After the turtle has heard what the bee said , it leaves away without saying anything.
The meaning of life is to possess substantial live rather than a longer one.
