I have been thinking about the issue of existence for a while, and I
wrote something that felt very confusing. The more I thought about it, the more confused I became. I
just watched lain. The strange thing is that I didn't know her fame before,
just because I liked Abe Yoshijun's style of painting. Of course, when I watched it, I
immediately felt that it was not the Gray Feather Alliance.

I didn't know how much I understood. It seemed that after watching eva seven or eight times, I could understand it 99% of the time. If you don't know what that hundred percent is, how can you estimate that you understand more than ten percent?

But after being inspired by the sense of existence, I think that people who can fit in with some personal thoughts have

experienced this process of awareness of individual existence: self-others-self in the eyes of others-self in their own eyes — what we think others see us — our true self

In our dull lives we are always forced to think of ourselves as beings, and when the events of others come into our lives, we begin to care about our connection with each other, and Re-examine yourself, and then worry or rejoice over

what others

think of her This argument generalizes to Alice. Alice is a special person to lain, a bond, and a symbol of all others.

But like all formulas in which complex reasoning is instantly defeated, common and simple phrases are often fatally destructive - the sound of a "thump-thump" heartbeat - that we are all life, connected or not, existing or not, real or not , have a heartbeat.

There is only one true self. The so-called dual personality and multiple personalities, split personality and schizophrenia, everyone condenses from multiple selves into one self. Just like the two circles that I once thought, while the knowledge of the outside world is infinitely expanded, the knowledge of myself is infinitely reduced.

No matter which side of you is, it is you, no matter how many ways of being there are, it is one life. No matter whose memory your existence depends on, they only know one you.

The boundaries of the outer circle are boundless, the core of the inner circle strives for perfection, and finally there is peace.
