But everything has a smell, and he is also composed of flesh and blood, how can there be no smell?
Logically speaking, his existence is a paradox.
He is a being that transcends all things, and he should not be human.
Or to borrow the bishop's line, he is an angel, beyond human experience.
It seems that he has never stopped in the world, and there is no human morality in his heart. He thought people and flowers were the same, and when the prostitute was terrified and wanted to run away, he killed her as easily as picking off the flowers. His knife was really meant to scrape off the animal fat smeared on women, and he didn't lie. He just wanted to keep them quiet, and after that his murder weapon was always a wooden stick. If you stand above morals, you can understand his motives. He doesn't know right or wrong, thinking that scent is the master of the world.
He wants to prove his existence, so he hopes to save the most beautiful smell in his heart. He doesn't understand love, maybe the first girl left him with the scent of love.
People in the world claim to know how to love, and when he presents the fragrance to everyone, people go crazy. Linking love with sexual desires in a narrow sense, barbaric possession is more than innocent giving, isn't this what the world has been doing all the time?
At last he sprinkled the perfume on his head, and the flesh and blood were divided among the zealots. They were as happy and content as they were with wine and bread. This ending has strong religious overtones. It's just that, unlike Jesus, he did what the world considers unrighteous, bringing not the gospel but surprise and fear. He was not resurrected either, simply and rudely disappeared where he first came to the world.
So, dust to dust, dust to dust.
Everyone is Ge Nuyi when they are just born. There is no distinction between good and evil, but as we grow up, we are put on the shackles of various cognitions. This is a kind of misfortune, but also a kind of luck, even if we walk because of this heavy.
