Jiang Yang: Walking on the edge of life.

Jiang Yang: Walking on the edge of life.

I have reached the edge of my life, and I will go on, right? Gone? Went? Gone? Is it gone? . Chinese and foreign examples use these words to soften the unpopular and inevitable? Die? Words.

? Sick and sick? This is the law of life, and no one can escape. Although:? Get sick in old age? It is inevitable that the old man will fall ill again. It is great luck to die without illness; Or simply get sick, get sick and die, which is also called luck. Although the living can't bear the death of the patient, the patient always says when he dies? Free? . Who is free? Can't say it's the patient's body? This body will never leave. Others will take it away and bury it. The living want the dead? Did it go well? . Everyone's dead. Who's going? Who else besides the body? In other words, I am dead. Did I dispose of the body? Can you still walk? How to get there? Where are you going?

I don't understand. I often put aside what I don't understand. But I have come to the edge of life, I don't understand, I just want to ask one person, and everyone I can ask has gone. This kind of question is only asked in the deep heart, and it is generally not discussed openly. Intentionally or unintentionally, I asked some friends in their seventies nearby. Friends are close and sparse, and those who are sparse only ask.

I didn't expect their answers to be consistent and certain. They say people are dead, there is nothing, nothing. Although everyone has different views and different tone, they are equally convinced of their own views. They are all clear-headed advanced intellectuals. They don't seem to be a problem at all when I ask this question. I briefly summarize their views as follows:

? Old imperial calendar! I used to be an amphibious Dojo! Children and grandchildren have to sacrifice? Do it. So what! Who is superstitious about this now? God is dead. No one believes in such ghosts and gods. People die to be famous, geese die to be famous, and the world is only famous at most. ?

? When a person dies, there is only a layer of smelly skin left, which can be buried or burned. Anyway, it is only suitable for fertile land. Can life exist without the body? As the saying goes, when people die, the candle goes out. When the candle is lit and the fire is extinguished, what is left?

? All one's life, grass gives birth to autumn. The grass is yellow, withered and dead. But the grass has roots and will grow again next year. So do people. The next generation will take over from the previous generation and pass it on from generation to generation. How many lives can a person live?

? God was fired, and now the god of wealth is in power. Who let God and the God of Wealth be at odds? Can God compete with the God of Wealth? People have no money all their lives, okay? You have to have the right to earn money. The struggle for power and status depends on money. Dominate the country only for money. You are a big economic country, so you can gain a foothold in the world. No money, only a dead end. Now we really. If you are poor, change it, and if you change it, you will pass? Know that the most important thing is financial management. Life is nothing more than making money, spending money and enjoying. Can you take it with you when you die?

? When a person dies, there is nothing, nothing. Is there an immortal soul? I have no soul at all. I was born alive and I will die alive. Although living is boring, there is nothing I can do. Anyway, good people always suffer, and bad people always take advantage. The world is unfair and unreasonable, but what can we do? Nothing can be done. I was born a good person, and I have no ability to be a bad person. If you lose, you lose. Do your best, even if it's not for nothing. ?

? Our generation has suffered a lot. How many people have there been since ancient times? Scratching your head and asking for heaven? , but? Blue sky? Does it care about you? Saints are enlightened by Shinto. Stupid person? Again? Yumin? We don't want to be cheated again. Superstition is very convenient and satisfying. But? People's opium? After all, it's anesthetic. Who wants to do it? Addicts? ..... How? Say what? God is merciful? What is the merciful God doing? Is he ignorant or incompetent? Why not see through this stupid and incompetent god? Oh, my god Where is God?

? I studied science. I only know the subject I studied. Where people go after death is a metaphysical philosophical question, which has nothing to do with me. All I know is that when people die, there is nothing. ?

Their tone is more euphemistic than my summary, but it is enough to make me ashamed. The old man is very confused, but when I think about it, I don't believe anything, and I promise not to be confused? They are confident but not fascinated, but are their views fascinated or not?

First, metaphor is just metaphor. Metaphor only helps to express a meaning, but it can't judge whether things are true or false. ? Life, grass produces autumn? Just to show that life is short. We also wish others? As long as a pine tree? 、? Shoubi Nanshan? Wait, this is just a metaphor.

? People die, candles go out? Or? Oil dry lamp? Fire is used to describe life, and fuels such as oil or fat are used to describe the body. But what about another common metaphor? Full salary? It also compares fire to life and firewood to body. Fat, oil and firewood are all fuels and are compared to the body. But? Full salary? However, it means that after the body is destroyed, life will continue to burn with another body, which just expresses that the soul cannot die. This clearly proves that metaphors cannot be used to judge whether things are true or false. Metaphor is not judgment.

Second, name and reality must be clearly defined. What do I mean? The name can be named. It's very famous. ? If the boundary between name and reality is unclear, thoughts will be confused. Like what? I have no soul? Such a time is untenable. When people die, it is a question whether the soul exists. Whether the living have souls is not a problem, but. Soul? There are no rules for this name. Can have different names. The living always have a life, right? Not the life of insects and ants, not the life of animals, but the life of human beings, which we also call human beings? A life? . A man who claims to have no soul will never say that he has only one dog life. As the saying goes? Life is as big as the sky? Or? Life is a matter of life? . Human life is very important, and killing one life can only be compensated with one's own life. ? Big life? And then what? A soul? What's the difference in essence? The British and Americans call it soul, ghost in old English and ame in French. The Spanish name is alma, which is translated as soul in the dictionary. Isn't the soul a human life? Who can have no life?

Another example? God? Many names. ? God is dead? What kind of god is dead? All ethnic groups and religions have their own gods, and they all call their own gods Allah, and the only god, the pagan god, is Baal. There are many gods who have idols and look different. There are also gods without idols. These gods, who are both Allah and evil, are all dead with or without idols?

When people are in danger, pain and trouble, they will call for heaven, pray for heaven, and pray for heaven, which is an example for all times and all over the world. God should respond. Does he answer questions? If you shouldn't answer, does it prove that there is no God?

On the eve of Jesus' crucifixion, he prayed all night in the vineyard and asked God to spare him from this pain. Did God answer? But did Jesus lose faith?

I stand on the edge of life, looking back and looking forward to the future. Looking back, I have lived all my life, all my life, for what? I want to explore the value of life. Look ahead and go forward, will there be nothing? Of course, my body was cremated. Where is my soul without it? No soul? Some people say that souls come and go. Where did it come from? Where are you going? So it means that the soul is given by God and returns to God after death. But does God exist? Is the soul immortal?
