letter and betrayal

In the end, the professor did not accept the advice of the believers and rushed out of the room, while the believers felt disappointed and miserable; if we reasoned this story later, would the professor have to commit suicide again? Go to the Sunset Station to commit suicide?
You can Calm down and think about it, he definitely won't. He has depression. He uses the whole world and history to express his inner inability to be happy and satisfied. In his world, he is God, and he wants to replace God and renew it. Read everything, and the reason why he won't commit suicide is that he met a believer, a believer of God, a person with elementary education or lower cultural knowledge, a person who was punished for sin because of ignorance, but was able to talk to him about the most profound things The question of the ultimate, life, and death; a believer has learned enough wisdom from God to answer a professor who has read 4,000 books, and the beginning believer can guide him, but the purpose of the professor is not to believe in God and get liberation, but It is to replace God, to create a world of his own interpretation, because it is impossible, and the reason for his depression's unhappiness is to raise this impossible goal, so he can accept that he will never be happy and have nothing. He regretted choosing death. Death was what he urgently needed, but he had no courage to face it. Once he could not replace God, he committed suicide.
The professors are white and the believers are black. I don’t use whites and blacks to refer to them, because it is easy to discriminate. Everyone has two forces in their hearts, happiness and sadness. Professors are sad, while believers are happy, sadness is black? Is happiness pure? I feel that happiness has no color, but is full of energy inside.
The believers did not guide the professors to give up suicide. Wouldn't it be fake if the opposite result was used? This is true, why are movies and novels fake? The believer finally said to himself, very depressed, but his worries and distress will disappear tomorrow morning, because he can do what he can't do, he uses his time, enthusiasm, and words to save a suicidal person, he has already Saved him once, and was suspected of getting money, he used his energy to prove the person who underestimated him, so he doesn't have to regret it, because the death of the professor is not something he can decide, his pain is that he can't be like God Just like saving people, he must accept this, so tomorrow he will be happy and relaxed, because everything is in the hands of God.
