happier lies

If the meaning of life consists only in nothingness, people will indeed be less happy. However, no scientific theory has yet been able to disprove this disappointing assertion. To make matters worse, Western Xianxue diverts our attention to the material level. The Birth of a Lie is an exaggerated description of our world. In fact, except that everyone is telling the truth, the world in the movie is no different from our reality: everyone runs around for money and social status, and chooses the appearance and status of their spouse for the sake of a stable future life and the DNA of their offspring. ,money. All this is exactly the group phenomenon described by Darwin and modern evolutionary psychology. Face the reality, people are indeed a bit snobby. So some people will be disappointed in the world and lament the injustice of God - take samples from this natural world that the ghost knows how to form, and you will always find that the normal distribution, the 80/20 law, and even the 99/1 law are at work, and sometimes we fall In that unfortunate majority, it feels powerless.
Only a lie can change the facts that keep us disappointed. Imagine living in the age of Christ's birth. Everyone lived a life of extreme poverty and despair. If you can promise eternal happiness with a lie to bring people hope, lying seems to be a very righteous thing. In a scene in the movie, Mark has the classic hairstyle of Christ. In the morning, he puts on a white robe to open the door for the woman he loves, just like the image of Christ. This is after he lied to a world that does not lie. He told everyone to do good and not evil, so that after death can enter another beautiful world, everyone can be with the person they love, everyone has a big house and free ice cream... In the movie, the birth of a lie is To make Mark's mother die with a smile.
Later, by becoming the first liar in the human world, Mark began to have money, fame, and even fun, but the woman he loves has always been unwilling to give 50% of his DNA to her because of his fatness. The offspring raised a little fat man with a flat nose and did not want to marry him. Finally, seeing that this woman was going to marry someone else, Mark stood up at the last moment and said that he could give her happiness. The woman was enlightened beforehand and felt small. There's nothing wrong with the fat man, because he has many other cute things, so he decided to marry Mark after the final struggle, and he really gave birth to a little fat man.
In short, as described in evolutionary psychology, even complex love can be theorized, resource status = living standard, appearance = health index, love = investment tendency, summing up all the variables and calculating, maybe an index can be obtained. In the end, Mark got the beauty back, which can only mean that he added a lot of weight to one side of the equation by lying, and the equation finally came to an inference under the negotiation and unity of the two parties—marriage.
The problem is, I suspect that there is an equation in this world that can calculate the feeling of holding a beloved girl's hand, the preciousness of the memories we experienced together, the attractiveness of a look, a gesture, there is no formula that can calculate the feeling of holding a girl's waist. Seconds are converted to one second in boring math class, and there is no theory to quantify the risk-return ratio of love's investment.
What's more, the ultimate meaning itself may have no meaning. The questioning of the ultimate meaning lies in the excessive attention to the result. Maybe the meaning lies in the process, and maybe the meaning lies in this second, now, and now. In any case, becoming happier in the process may only be achieved by focusing on the spiritual level, forgetting what we see and seeing what we remember.
