Why choosing to escape is more painful

Life is an uncomfortable experience.

So every time I feel sad, I comfort myself: I won’t be a human in my next life anyway. Since it’s the only chance I have, let’s be happy as a human being. Who knows, being an animal is even more cruel!

I want to be a sheep, because I don’t have to hunt, I lie on the dining table every day, take a big mouthful of pure natural and pollution-free grass as soon as I bow my head, while chewing leisurely, while breathing the grass-scented breeze, I don’t have to worry about the sun If you have too much, you will get skin cancer, sunburn, wrinkle, dazzle your fur, and soak up the sun to your heart’s content. Who cares if it’s hot or mild, just experience the life bestowed by nature, the real life, just This is the perfect way to spend the sheep life. I completely forgot about the wolf that was always staring at the back, so at this moment, it jumped out without a sign, and my clan immediately spread their hooves and ran desperately, running, eating grass and basking in the sun. , life is important, although I only have a few months, but the natural ability of running is no pressure for me, so tired, has it not given up yet? Wait, no, why are you just staring at me and chasing a sheep! Did the wolf take me for his lunch? Why am I so unlucky? Could it be that I can't run fast enough, I should have exercised more if I knew it earlier, well, when I escape, I must eat more grass and run more, and never bask in the sun or slack off, no way , I really can't run, my God, how I hope this is just a thrilling experience in my life, to make me the strongest in the flock, leading everyone to escape the wolves again and again The attack made the sheep clan go to new glory, but such a beautiful dream woke up in the next second, I was thrown down by it, and my life for only a few months ended today under the wolf's mouth. Seeing this, I think the director is too bad to put this scene so slowly! How I hope that God can give this lamb a power to miraculously run out of this life-and-death contest.

The earth is an extremely lucky planet, its distance from the sun just produces the perfect climate, about 5 billion years ago, a huge star crashed into the earth, making it tilted 235 degrees towards the sun, and the earth has had seasons since then, All life on Earth was created by chance and nourished by the sun.

Life is precious and cruel from the beginning. Baby polar bears struggle to survive not long after seeing the world's first rays of sunshine, they don't know that their mother hasn't eaten for months, and that they and their brother will only have one life to live this year, and Like baby polar bears, baby elephants have to hobble with their mothers through sandstorms and long journeys to find water soon after they are born, but they are separated from the group and their mothers may abandon them for survival. The gift of water will never be felt again here, and there are baby whales who swim with their mothers from the equatorial waters to the Antarctic waters. All life on earth is like this, facing the challenge of survival from birth, and survival will become the theme of their life.

Human beings are no exception. We don’t have to hunt, starve in ice and snow, or walk through sandstorms in the wasteland, but survival and struggle are still the themes in our lives. All life on earth will experience “suffering”, but Only human beings can ask the question, "Is suffering meaningful?" What is the meaning of suffering? Since life is just an accident.

Suffering is meaningless, of course, but I have become more open. It is indeed because of the large and small injustices in life, because life is very tenacious, and humans and animals are essentially the same. In every challenge, animals The self-help instinct will stimulate the most primitive desires of life. Those sheep chased by wolves, polar bears who choose to attack seals when faced with the challenge of survival, and baby elephants who are stumbling along with their mothers to avoid sandstorms, have to face the first time out of the cave. Dangerous little polar bears of nature, we also have the same tenacious fighting spirit as them, it is life, so that we continue to feel its beating pulse when we face every challenge.

So, I am not grateful for suffering, I am grateful for life.

This explains a very strange phenomenon, people can't be comfortable for too long, otherwise they will feel incomparable pain. If you want to get a comfortable life, it is just the opposite of what we think, doing something that feels uncomfortable. Going through some uncomfortable experiences, on the contrary, can easily get out of the situation that has been troubled for a long time.

I thought about it for a long time and couldn't understand the principle. This documentary tells me that this is life, and life needs to pulsate and break through. If you want to gain the comfort and beauty of life, you have to do things that are not so comfortable. . Animals are like this, and humans are naturally like this.

I am reminded of an article I read on NetEase viewers a long time ago. Among the human groups, there is a group called "Hermitory": refusing to participate in social life, especially going to school or work, without any close social relationship, "missing "More than 6 months.

In Japan, such young people can reach 1 million, accounting for 1% of the total population.

"For Hashimoto Ya, the expectations of his parents are a heavy thing. He used to be the best in the class, but failing a certain exam was the last straw that broke the camel's back. After dropping out, he became a dormitory. He had hoped that the globetrotting would make all the difference, but the reality is that after the trip, Hashimoto continued to live in hibernation for seven years.”

So escape is shameful but useful, and it relieves the pressure of most young people. Maybe in the eyes of normal people, they are losers who dare not face it, are irresponsible, and always choose to escape. Brave people suffer much more, sometimes they don't even eat or drink, because the psychological burden has already exceeded the physical needs. For them, life is not a gift, but a huge burden.

Therefore, life is destined to be viewed from the perspective of animals facing survival. We can only move forward, not backward. Think about the baby whale who swam 30 million kilometers of ocean with her mother shortly after birth, and walked in the wilderness for two weeks. Elephant baby, we are just an animal.

Just be a cloud in the next life.
