The way to kill the "self"

This article was originally intended to be a diary, but I don't know why the entry to write a diary can't be found, so I thought about it, and it is quite appropriate to put it under this anime as its film review, so I will take this as a record.

When one is completely covered by one's self, one is unaware of the existence of others. Only by killing the "self" will there be room for others. The key is the way to kill the self, what is it? The way I can realize now, is to release. Free yourself completely, touch its bottom, touch its boundaries. Then standing on the boundary, you will realize that this is what a person's so-called self is, and the thing that has been trapping me all the time. So far, let go. At this point, the self has been completely released, and then I will realize that there are so many people in this world besides myself. This kind of existence of others is not to see the existence of people wearing clothes with eyes, not to measure a person's existence with a moral yardstick, nor to use labels such as money and house to collage a person's existence. , but the flesh-to-flesh experience of a person's true existence. This does not mean denying the existence of the above three items, they are there and they are important. They are bound to exist in the current social environment, obstacles that need to be broken, problems to be solved, tools to learn to use, but we need to be vigilant that they cannot be regarded as goals.

From life to death, from death to life. When you are in yourself, others are like dreams; when you kill yourself, dreams are transformed into reality.
