Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, promotes progress, and is the source of knowledge progress. ——Einstein

If we are not afraid of death, I believe that the idea of ​​eternal life will never arise. ——Russell

When you have solved all the mysteries of life, you long for death, because it is just another mystery of life. -Gibran.

Shocking, always thinking beyond the times!

"The story we are about to tell is a Frankenstein named Frankenstein. He seeks to create a man designed in his own image without relying on God at all. This is one of the strangest stories ever. The two mysteries of life are related: life and death. I think it will make you tremble, shock you, and even horrify you. So if any of you feels that you don’t care about making your nerves nervous, then now The opportunity is here."——1931 "Frankenstein"

▶ Don't repeat yesterday's life? Don't repeat yesterday's thoughts!
Once you start to do that, you will become the same as someone who has already done those things. This may make you successful, but it will never make a breakthrough. Therefore, when the known knowledge reaches its limit, what we urgently need is imagination.

▶ Sometimes, it is very stupid and dangerous for people to let themselves do whatever they can.
You created him, but you cannot give him freedom and happiness. He felt that he had created a monster. His past arrogance made him unable to bear his own failures. The only thing he thought of was to destroy this monster. Because in fact what he desires is not to create, but to be proven. The desire to prove his abilities made him unintentionally entangled in the methods he used, and no matter how clever he was, he could not avoid becoming a devil in the crazy pursuit of vanity.

▶ Dark memories look forward to the light!
When this dead person came into this world, the first thing he learned was light, and secondly, fear and restraint.

The people who created him wanted to use him, the deformed people wanted to abuse him, the innocent children wanted to play with him, and the ignorant people just wanted to kill him. Because of his inherent ignorance and loneliness. Is this the reason why it shouldn't exist? Or does he have no chance to exist to explore and discover the reason for his own existence in the world?

His criminal's mind is full of memories of brutality, violence and murder. So, who is reborn, is he a murderer or a child? What kind of eyes do people look at him, does it also mean that he will look at people the same way? After all, the only thing a newborn can do besides the survival instinct is to imitate.

This short life of life and death is like a firework exploding in the cold night sky, breathtakingly beautiful, and also awakened eternal loneliness. Written as a legend, it is as far away as an unfamiliar song. We don't understand what we are singing, but we can't help but hum.

▶ The human fire that brings light, also makes mankind fall into the abyss of evil.
From beginning to end, "fire" is terrible for this reborn person. For us, "fire" means wisdom and light, but also leads to desire and evil. Our own limitations make us aware of poverty as a person, so we dream of being rich.

Different people have different understandings of wealth, wealth, knowledge, power, love, sensuality, virtue...every day a person lives is like an ant in the desert during the day, stagnation and loss mean death.

What about death? Is it a contempt for life or a spur? It's just a moment in life. It's different from any moment. In our greedy and poor hearts, it urges us to create and destroy all the time. So that the absurdity of struggling between gains and losses is imprinted in the constant current of history, so unique and lonely.
