1. Reincarnation, a strategic shift for the meaning of life
Birth, activity, and death. Can the desired goal or realm be achieved better? Everyone, whether intentionally or not, whether emotionally or rationally, has some kind of hope or some kind of goal in his heart all the time, but if you do everything, every day you live will come back countless times. If you go on like this endlessly, will you feel bored in the end, and will you doubt whether the ultimate meaning exists?
When I think of death, I suddenly feel the meaninglessness of life, the emptiness of life—the time of day, the trajectory of my activities in space, the thoughts I have had, the things I have done, and it will be gone and will not come back. , until one day it completely and irreversibly stops all activities and ceases to exist, but one's own soul truly believes in its own existence, pays true feelings for its existence, and feels serious about everything, the body It keeps running in the material world, and all of this, with death, will eventually end, and with the destruction of the soul, it will disappear forever - does all our seriousness seem absurd?
What if it could be reincarnated? From point A to point B, in countless reincarnations, I can choose an infinite number of routes to complete it. However, does it seem that every route is more irrelevant and lighter? And reincarnation, the more boring.
The existence of the soul is the biggest joke, it is sincere, it is serious, it is serious, it expects eternity, its essence is the pursuit of the ultimate, but it first wanders blindly in only one chance, and then suddenly stops.
2. Rules
Human society is a society of rules. Behaviour, thinking, feeling all pay attention to certain rules. If you don't follow the rules, you will be regarded as a freak, or the crowd will not tolerate it. In my opinion, among all the rules, the rules of thinking are the most rooted. Human thinking is the most easily shackled. Education can do it, people around it can do it, social atmosphere can do it, and even daily life can do it. How should we recognize the existence of human beings, how should we recognize the world, how should we recognize the meaning of life, and how should we look at everything? Everyone should have their own unique theory, not afraid to be different, not afraid to walk into a narrow alley with no one. However, the world seems to be a big river, and individuals are like water droplets, sliding down involuntarily with the flow of the river. Follow your inner voice!
3. Freedom and Destruction
Anything can happen, and it has happened. The story of New Seoul is in the future, it happened in the past, and that is the enslavement of people. The dictatorships in V for Vendetta are also numerous in history. Warrensky seems to like to talk about this. There is also destruction. The end of the world is a rumor, but the fall of human beings is still worrying. There are too many things that can destroy the earth and human beings. War, environmental pollution, resource depletion, disease, or over-developed technology makes people too comfortable.
