The will of man, which is very different, is related to the issue of doctrine

It's quite okay, the communists share wives, wives and husbands, and they go home alone and can't find a home. That pair of beggars is a typical beggar who tortured himself to death with his thoughts, followed by the single man who tortured himself with his thoughts but didn't torture himself to death. , just lost the shape of a human, the old man is very wise, the typical Japanese philosophy of the young man and the girl, the epilepsy patient is the old-fashioned traditional wise man, the fat man is so simple, his daughter-in-law I will treat her as a tool!
In the world of existence, is there still less trouble for people who think because of thinking?
From this point of view:
Xiaoliu is the happiest
old man, the wisest , the
wisest, the most sensible , the
beggar, the most pitiful, the typical one who tortured himself to death
with his thoughts, second only to a single man, not only tortured himself with his thoughts, but also stupid
that the owner of the clothing store has 2 children , wife, and two concubines, the people who begged to die are equally stupid,
but I think the happiest, living like individuals, are those two communist families, sharing wives and husbands, they really don't know what their home is Which (a woman knows)
person, don't torture yourself at any time, no matter what kind of thinking it is, it is a kind of stupidity. Stupidity is an individual's will, can an individual overcome it?

However,
when everything, value, and everything that people pursue, is gone, isn't it a good choice to die? At least, I am still an individual.

Dodes'ka-den quotes

  • Suicidal Old Man: [Haltingly, opening up to Mr. Tanba, who patiently listens to him] I'm fed up with everything now... Life is nothing but pain to me. When I get up in the morning and get ready for breakfast... thinking I have to do everything all over again, I just lose my strength. Food doesn't taste good. I lose my appetite.

    Suicidal Old Man: [continues, as Mr. Tanba listens silently] When I go to the public bath, I'm disgusted to see myself in the mirror. Naked, I look really disgusting and filthy. I can't stand myself. At this point... the only thing I want... is to die quickly. I want to disappear from this world.

    Mr. Tanba: [Mr. Tanba gets up and starts rummaging for some items, and prepares a powder which he gives to the man] This powder is used in engraving. It's a very strong poison, not sold to the public. You'll die without pain an hour after taking it. If you really want to die, take it.

    Suicidal Old Man: [the suicidal man eagerly takes the powder and pours all of it in his mouth, then drinks it down with water] Thank you. It's very kind of you. Goodbye.

  • Yukichi Shima: [speaking to his three guests] Let me ask you a question. Have you ever found a way to get rice from a rice store? I don't mean borrowing, I mean taking it right in front of their eyes.

    Yukichi Shima: [continues] You take a big pot and get it all wet on the inside, and have it filled at the rice store. Try to get it on credit and they'll refuse. You throw the rice out, but the pot is wet. So some rice remains stuck to the sides. If you repeat that three times, you'll get enough for a meal. Eh? Great, isn't it?
