All the ways of playing, high-society, middle-class, down the street, are just a nihilistic trick for Jep. He was so familiar with it that he shed tears of sadness for his familiarity. Absolute beauty is his vision of trying to transcend the emptiness of life, and the only reason that supports him to live in a hurry is the absolute hidden in his heart.
Pain is the power that stimulates passion in life. People can often live because of pain, live firm and powerful, and burst out a certain heroic light, but they cannot survive in nothingness, even for a second. Nothingness is like a painting that has lost all its colors, no lines, no strengths and weaknesses, no contrasts, no objects to be observed, just a chaotic fog, as if floating in space, losing all weight, losing emotion, losing Rational, lost all memory, knowledge and sensory experience. Even, there will be no despair.
"Roots Matter"
The root is the thread that ties us from the dark abyss of nothingness to the earth, the bond of emotion, whether it be for loved ones, or God, beings, and beauty, or malice, strife, and possessiveness. If this thread is cut off, man will truly become a living dead thing, a vessel for eating, drinking and lhasa, and a pure object and other. Like plants, they are unaware of their own life, and there is no death. They can regrow in fixed seasons of the year, in effect achieving immortality.
"Looking for the beauty"
Jep set one such root, to determine his own coordinates in the world. Beauty is perhaps the only thing that can exist beyond life, it is eternity. Every moment of time, every movement, expression, language, every new leaf, every morning smell of the river, everything that has happened, and the past that is about to happen, will be frozen into a never-repeat.” Absolutely beautiful". Like the circular arrangement in the courtyard, time cycles back and forth at the same but different points, and our own moment and the next moment are constantly reborn and dying, changing and changing. The beauty that Jep looks for is what has passed and will pass.
Jep's ruthlessness is the understanding of nothingness, and his sentience is because his life has an end. Life has meaning because of death, and beauty, because death can show its eternity. Human aging is irreversible. More and more memories are more and more powerful shackles. People must bear memories to live, which is cruel and beautiful.
You will find that the memory box has everything you want and everything you never want.
