When Humans Think, God Laughs - An Ambiguous Assumption

"The truth has been sealed behind the great walls and time will soon bury it all."
These are the words at the end of the countess, where the protagonist throws a question about the world at the end, "there is nothing that you can be certain of" , but history is not written that way. History gives a clear definition of each event, either, justice, evil, love, hate, everything is given a clear, unambiguous explanation, as if there is a lord high above creating Or when these events were triggered, they were already branded with an unalterable nameplate. Before her death, the Countess chose not to believe in the Almighty, who to her was nothing but something men created in their own image, so that they might rule over all things, birds, lions, and women. She wished she was a man so she could slaughter thousands on the battlefield, snatch lands, burn wizards, and she would be a hero. I think she meant that she slaughtered hundreds of teenage girls in search of the true love of her life to preserve her beauty, no different from a man who killed thousands of people on the battlefield for land, and she But to stand trial, she was to die alone in a dark room with no dignity, and those men were given the right to rule. She laughed at the absurdity of God, thinking it was just a secret created because people always have too many questions and too few answers. Giving an invisible thing that no one has seen and is omniscient is the best choice to make people feel at ease, because if there is any doubt, they can use its name to say that it is its arrangement, and just That's it. God was created just to find a pile of sand for our ignorance and fear, into which people can dive headfirst like ostriches.
From the moment of birth, people embark on a journey to the unknown land. The soul is installed in the body, it seems that it should be believed that this is a natural pair. But sometimes, the things that stay in the shell are so peaceful that its needs and the needs of the shell sometimes run counter to each other. Sometimes it is rational, and sometimes it is dominated by an irrational force, and many of the decisions we make in our lives, you can't tell the reason, you can only say "I wanted to do it at the time". The countess is with a man with a bad reputation, and she can't give an accurate reason, she doesn't love him, even hates him, she still loves another young man in her heart, but she still decides to be with this man. Together. Maybe it can't be said that she decided something, but that she was selected by "decision" and dominated by this irrational force. This is the same as many times when we consciously do things that are contrary to our wishes. Compared with the power that controls us, but we do not understand, we know very little and we can grasp it.

We try to find a precise reason for each of our actions, and it seems that if we don't, we lose the motivation to act. We seem to be able to realize some truths every day, but we haven’t figured it out clearly yet, and haven’t been deep enough to become our own tomorrow’s principles. The voice of the individual is quickly drowned out by the sound of this rumbling industrialized city.
"The rapid development of science quickly pushes human beings into various tunnels in the professional field. The deeper the knowledge people master, the more blind they become, and they become unable to see the whole world and themselves clearly. In this way, he fell into a state of what Husserl's disciple Heidegger called 'forgetting existence' in a beautiful, almost miraculous way. Man was originally elevated by Descartes to 'the master and the master of nature'. The owner's status turned out to be in the hands of some powers (technological power, political power, historical power) that surpassed him, surpassed him, and possessed him. For these powers, man's concrete existence, his ' The living world', has no value, no meaning: man has been hidden, long forgotten."
In other words, everyone is an inexperienced novice on the road ahead. In the modern era, when industrial and commercial politics were extremely prosperous, the confusion and pain felt by individuals was the proof that modern industry erased the meaning of his existence. There is no unique meaning to be found, no ultimate meaning to be found, and no rationality to follow, because the present moment itself is an ambiguous assumption.
