You humans, always want pie in the sky!

I hate watching religious movies a long time ago, because that kind of inexplicable existence is hard to convince people. Who wouldn’t be nonsense? The premise of an interesting movie is to make people convinced. Even if it can’t happen in this universe, it may happen in this universe. In other worlds.

The theory of religion has always been "advancing with the times", which is why I look down on it.

Every time there is a breakthrough in convincing science, religion rushes over and rubs light.

I used to like movies that explain religion with alien theories, but I don’t feel it anymore, because there are more and more, such as the famous "Prometheus", "Thor", and the entire Marvel universe. If this trend continues, the religions in the future will claim that their gods are extraterrestrial higher intelligent creatures. Otherwise, no one will believe in religion, and it will be more reliable to believe in Marvel.

Laziness is one of human natures. I always think of pie in the sky and get something for nothing; I always hope that there is a savior who can save myself from the sea of ​​suffering. There is a God who has arranged everything for you. You don't have to worry about anything, you just need to believe.

It seems that only Buddhism is the only exception. What authentic Buddhism needs is your own practice and enlightenment. When you let go, you will be free from the sea of ​​suffering. In fact, you are the living dead. If you don’t have feelings, of course you won’t lose love and pain, and your heart will die. Of course, everything doesn’t matter. . For better or worse, Buddhist theory is relatively objective in its understanding of reality.

The problem is, even if the higher intelligent creatures that create humans come to earth tomorrow, everyone will immediately become gods, disease-free, and immortal, what then? Are you happy? The couple won't quarrel anymore?

You must be boring to death again. Imagine if Iron Man is immortal, how would a movie be made so that it won’t be boring? If Superman doesn't have the weakness of Kryptonite, what does it mean? Only when the silly girl Louise could discover Clark's identity was the clue.

So, you humans, don't always think of pie in the sky! Death is a necessary condition for a wonderful life. This is already the best result. As a higher intelligent creature, I kindly remind you.

Earning for nothing was the best survival strategy at the time. Basically everything that humans have is picked up. The so-called productivity is actually just transforming power, the ability to transform things that nature has. I always think about falling pie in the sky and getting something for nothing. It was right in ancient times, but it is of no value in advanced modern society. Picking up a mineral water bottle and getting it is a sacred object in ancient times, but what you want is a smart phone.
