-Camus, "The Myth of Sisyphus-On Absurdity"
Camus believes that this question is important Sex comes from the action brought about by his answer, because he has never seen death caused by ontology, or to pursue death due to ontological reasons. I think this question itself is difficult to answer, but at least judging from the result of the answer to the question of whether life is worth experiencing, suicide must at least be a truly serious philosophical question. Acknowledging that this result does not bring any change to the fact itself, but I am afraid that the answer to the question of what kind of life is worth experiencing at many moments affects the final decision to end or continue life, and change the answer To a large extent it means a different ending. Acknowledging its philosophical nature is fundamentally acknowledging that the answer to a problem can be proven or reversed within certain limits, which means that whether you are positively looking at the courage embodied in suicide or negatively rejecting such behavior, You can find the rigor or absurdity of a certain method of judgment through thinking.
The small prints above are meaningless for the current discussion. They are just my notes when I read the book myself, so let's do it temporarily.
BOY A, an impressive British movie. Of course, some people say that its plot is seriously plagiarizing Little Fish. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the latter, so I can't judge it. At the end of the film, Jack or Eric, whatever, it doesn’t matter anyway, because he is just the poor boy A who made a big mistake. When he hangs up on the beach railing to end his life, my The brain was overwhelming, and he kept demonstrating whether he deserved to die. As a result, the film ended, and the screenwriter put you together. I guess what he meant is that his life and death are meaningless, because the result of his not being accepted by the society is certain. At that time, my mind was very chaotic and very sad. I didn't have any deep thoughts. It was a pity that such a handsome and kind boy had such a curtain call. After smoking a cigarette, my brain regained consciousness, and I suddenly understood that the director was playing tricks on me-the really meaningful question is whether boy A himself should think that his life is over. The director’s meaning is obvious: society will never accept the protagonist, and the protagonist’s life is built on the basis of concealment and the hope of gaining understanding from others, and when this foundation is destroyed, the protagonist’s life will also be lost. The meaning of continuation, all his choices are not important-because life has made the final choice for him. It sounds reasonable at first, think about it carefully, this logic is based on the premise that if a person is cast aside by society and loses the possibility or hope of being forgiven by society, then he loses the meaning of life. Indeed, this premise is significant, but are you sure it is true?
The protagonist is presented as a person who has been abandoned or neglected by society, whether it is his mother's "leave me alone" or the teacher's satire or the gangster's "spastic" all to illustrate this problem. Don’t ask me why some people in this world will be abandoned by society when they are born, because the answer to the question is very simple, so simple that there is no value at all-our society was originally created to promote some people to the altar. It is the meaning of the birth of society that throws some people into hell. Darwinism calls this "natural selection" or "jungle law". The protagonist is also cowardly and has no heart to resist, and this kind of person is undoubtedly the most miserable. Later, he met an outcast, Philip, who was just like him. The difference was that he was quite vigorous, and the protagonist seemed to have seen the sun in his life. Don’t talk about the bullshit that you have to grasp in your life. If you want to kill someone when you are taken by your boss, you can imagine what kind of opinion you will have on society when you are blown up when you are the purest and weakest. When I heard Philip telling something about him and his brother, I even wondered whether it was correct for the movie to make children recite such lines. In short, these two guys are a natural pair, and then they started all kinds of excessive and not excessive pranks, until they cut a little girl with a hateful face but equally sympathetic.
In this way, the protagonist embarked on the road of confronting society. Although he was unconscious, he was indeed a challenger. Before they cut off the little girl, all these confrontations could be subverted and reversed. But after that incident, he didn't realize that he had only one way to go to the dark.
Several years later, Philip died and the protagonist was released. It seemed that everything was over and everything would start again. Then I thought of the ending of the film, and suddenly thought of "The Drifting Dutchman". Although the so-called romantic interpretations of this opera were quite confusing, and the technical terms were one after another, I also probably understood what it meant. The emotion to tell. The Dutch also appeared as a challenger. Of course, I didn’t understand his reason very much. It’s just that he challenged the gods and was punished for wandering on the sea for life. He can go ashore to find true love once in seven years, and he will be liberated if he finds it. . Of course I found it later, and the process was more complicated. As a result, the curse was lifted, the ship sank, and the Dutch and his lover were buried on the bottom of the sea. In the past, I just thought that this guy was backing too much, but now they confirm each other as if they have grasped the key points, as if they also understand the tragic song sung by the Dutch when they appeared on the stage. I can’t remember the specific words, but it obviously contains the boredom of life and death. Heart-I'm afraid he has known that his challenge will end in tragedy. The so-called seven-year hope is nothing more than a game of gods. Boy A's fate is similar. His best friend is dead, and he has been in prison for many years. It seems that they have been punished and have paid enough. However, their so-called punishment is just a game in this society, which will never end until death. Later, the protagonist sees this thing clearly, and it seems that death is the same as the Dutch to get the final peace and the end of punishment.
Is this the only answer? If so, it is nothing more than the birth of a romantic theme. Back to the previous question: Are social acceptance and tolerance the only basis for the protagonist to live? The quotation in the front of the main text is from Camus’s "The Myth of Sisyphus". Sisyphus’s story is more complicated. If you are interested, you can refer to the original text. Simply put, this is another challenger who has been punished, and the punishment is endless. The social acceptance and tolerance in the movie is never available. But Sisyphus made another choice, which, in my opinion, is at least a choice that allows behavior to be coherent on a perceptual and logical basis.
Boy A is a challenger. He accepted all the punishments he deserved theoretically and was released from prison. Of course, his conscience still couldn't forgive himself at this time. This may be the reason for his complicated mood when he rescued another little girl. When he was about to end his life, he kept reminding his colleagues and himself about it, I am afraid it was also for inner peace. On this basis, I will make another choice for him instead of the director’s disgusting single-choice question with only one option. Since I am a challenger, and punishment is as I see there is no possibility of ending, then I continue to live, every moment is a struggle for punishment, a new challenge. Since I have chosen to be a challenger, or, on a broader level, a person, then I no longer believe in any future, hope and other fantasies based on irrational foundations. Any pain is a challenge. , Not a challenge to me but my challenge to absurdity. If possible, I will live a long, long time, and I will have the opportunity to save more people regardless of whether they will change their views of me after their lives are saved. I want to live, no matter how humble, how painful, how boring, how boring to face the pain day after day, as long as I live, it is a challenge, and my body’s non-death is value. If I'm good enough, maybe one day I will find that those who use prejudice and hate me have disappeared in the world-of course they are not hateful, because prejudice is essentially just self-protection-I will definitely feel sincere Delightful.
Watch boy A again. At the end of the film, I kept tearing up and shouting: Don’t be fooled by any logic that only has a unique solution. As long as you live, you can create another set of logic of your own, and you can continue to launch new challenges or you. His life is the challenge itself. So, or don’t need any reason: don’t die, don’t die!
