MTL - Ninja World: Insect Princess From Konoha-Chapter 868 meaning of life
The history of life is a history of strife.
The so-called survival means exchanging materials with the outside world, taking away the nutrients for survival, and doing harm passively or actively, which is an indispensable part of life activities.
In other words, a life is a life of fighting.
So, what is the meaning of life.
Pointless.
Human beings have only existed in this world for hundreds of thousands of years, and stars have existed in this universe for billions of years. Does the universe care about you and me?
Of course I don't care, life is just dust.
In the long run, various activities in life have no purpose or meaning. Why should we live, what should we do, and what is the meaning?
It may be a question that everyone has thought about more or less.
And that’s existential angst.
If this problem cannot be overcome well, it will evolve into a result.
Not interested in anything.
numbness.
In other words, it's messed up.
You will easily feel that my current life is not good enough, but it doesn’t seem to be bad. As far as I can see, there is nothing particularly interesting that I want to try. Besides, I have done it and tried it, and it doesn’t seem to be bad. There is no special meaning, I have no desires, I don’t want anything in particular, and I don’t have any particular way of life.
So why don't I just keep things status quo.
This will create a sense of emptiness, which will swallow up the enthusiasm and motivation of life, causing life to wander in a death spiral of logical errors, never being able to take the right step.
How to deal with this problem.
A classic answer is that life itself is meaningless, but you can give it a meaning.
Meiji admires Orochimaru. He may be the only ninja in the entire ninja world who can recognize the truth of life. There is only one kind of heroism in the world, and that is a person who still loves life after recognizing the truth of life.
"Life itself may be meaningless, but if you continue to live, you will find interesting things, such as you meeting that flower, such as me meeting you."
At this point, the boy's life has meaning, which is to follow Orochimaru's back.
Isn’t it a kind of love, a kind of heroism, and an attitude towards life?
While it's true, it's a bit too simplistic.
From an individual level, this question is actually impossible to answer.
Why?
Because existence is the most original state of a system and is the cause and starting point of everything, the meaning of existence itself is a self-referential question.
This kind of question cannot be answered from inside the system, but can only be answered from outside the system.
To put it simply, individuals cannot realize their own problems and can only be intervened and corrected by other individuals.
For example, ants cannot understand why they exist, but outside the ant system, humans can understand why it exists.
To use another analogy, human beings are proud of their own technology, and they definitely believe that their technology tree is not askew. However, if we look at a more advanced alien civilization and observe it from outside the human system, we can clearly see all kinds of Ridiculous mistakes.
So how did the ninja world solve this problem in the past?
It's very simple, use a small group to bind the individual, and let this small group become the foundation and purpose of the individual's existence.
The most common ones are family, community, religion, and ninja village.
How to keep the entire clan alive during the Warring States Period was the entire meaning of life for individuals in the Ninja clan.
Hashirama is like this, Tobirama is like this, even Madara is like this, there is no difference.
Even if Madara later changed the meaning of existence, in essence, he failed to fully awaken.
In the Ninja Village era, although a new bottle was replaced, the wine in it was not changed at all and could be used directly.
Why do the old guys from the Warring States Period resist the Ninja Village depriving them of their rights? This is because Konoha itself has denied the meaning of their lives.
Question, what is education.
Everyone's answer may be different. Some people think it is for the upper class to create more wealth for the lower class, while some people think it is a ladder to change their own destiny.
Meiji's answer is to make people wake up and choose their own life.
In the modern era of the ninja world, due to the popularization of education, the development of the Internet, and the impact of information, individual consciousness began to flourish. It is no longer believed that a person must rely on family, community, and religion, but can control his own destiny.
The young people of the Ninja clan move away from the Ninja clan and live alone, which is a manifestation of this idea.
It is also Meiji's method to quietly dismantle the Ninja clan and other power groups.
How can we find the meaning of life when we lose these systems that we can rely on?
Still the same thing, looking for a replacement.
You must find something higher than the individual, integrate yourself into it, and make yourself a part of it, so that it can provide meaning to your existence.
Today's young people will regard loving Konoha as the meaning of their existence, but it is not absolute. It can also be other things they love.
Therefore, the answer to Tsunade's meaning of survival is already very simple, isn't it?
So, what is the meaning of Mei Ji’s existence?
Go to the pier for French fries?
The simpler and purer the purpose, the easier it is to obtain happiness.
Flying into the sky is not the goal for Mei Ji, but exploration is. All the knowledge and scenery that she has never known are the things that Mei Ji wants to see.
Moving forward, looking forward, is Mei Ji's only purpose in this life.
What Mei Ji is going on is a journey of life.
Many people in the ninja world have been searching for the meaning of their lives throughout their lives.
Hashirama is like that, Tobirama is like that, Sandai is like that, Jiraiya is like that, Orochimaru is like that too, it's all like that.
In this world, from birth to death, no one gives you orders and requires you to accomplish something. You are completely free.
It is precisely because you freely choose a cause that is higher than the individual, and are willing to invest time and energy in it, even to the extent of sacrificing a certain degree of freedom and other possibilities. These things you invest in constitute the meaning of your life. .
On the other hand, if you pursue something just for utility and profit, you will definitely face this problem.
I work so hard just to live a better life, have more resources, and gain recognition, affirmation, and envy from others.
Then what?
Without that, it’s hard for you to answer.
All purposes within life cannot circumvent one problem.
Since everything is for life, then what is life for?
It will be easy to fall into a pendulum state.
Life is about swinging back and forth between two tragedies, one is the pain in the process of chasing desires, and the other is the emptiness and boredom after achieving desires.
It's like a krypton gold card draw.
If you don't really like Paper Man Wife, don't smoke, you will regret it.
Just like Madara, what he pursues will only bring him emptiness and boredom.
And now, Tsunade was in pain. Seeing the scene of everyone fighting in blood in front of her eyes, regret could not stop pouring out from deep in her heart, but it turned into hatred in an instant.
"Why are you doing this!? Meiji!
! "
The problem is blamed on Meiji.
"Laugh so hard, isn't this exactly the freedom you want?"
"You see, you have released my thought control. People's actions are based on their own choices."
"How, it's quite shocking."
Miki opened her hands, as if she were holding the world in her arms, and stared at Tsunade opposite.
It was so shocking that Tsunade was speechless and choked.
Who am I, where am I, what am I going to do, this is not what I want.
A lake of slurry in my mind
But she had no way out, and in the end she only had one thought in her mind.
Meiji can only and must be defeated.
"People cannot realize their own mistakes."
"Even if he realizes it, he will deny it vehemently."
"Tsunade, I will play with you. Come on, continue."
Meiji hates the word fate, which means that everything in the world is a given, and it also means that she cannot resist and loses all possibilities. Then, everything in this world, herself, life, and the universe, is meaningless.
The existence of fate is a kind of blasphemy to life.
The ninja world is a world of fate, therefore, it is full of reincarnation and fate.
So Miki hates Naruto.
Coerced by fate, he is just a delicate doll without his own soul and thoughts, following a false established path, a false meaning of existence, and a lifeless beauty of tenacious fighting.
Not even as good as the trilobites that survived several crises of extinction.
No, that would be a bit too rude for a trilobite.
Tsunade, if you want to resist and fight, how long will you continue to hold on to the meaning of existence I gave you?
"If you want to be the savior, then defeat me, Tsunade, otherwise, you can't save anyone."
"Meiji!
! "
Roaring, Tsunade rushed forward.
Miki saw Tsunade's soul.
Confused, painful, and overwhelmed like a child.
But it is indeed a beautiful soul and the light of life.
