The meaning of life is to admire this process from birth to death.



At the beginning, as a child we can only taste sweet,



we reject all the bitterness.



After growing, we may have a cup of coffee or tea everyday.



If this world is kind of paradise, it would be boring eventually.



If there is an author who is being called by someones as God,



then we, the readers are the ones who fullfill his purpose.



I don't think his work is just as simple as a fairy tale or a simple war story between two sides.



———————————————————————————————————-



The First Cause is unnamable,



because if there is a God, he would not need an agent,



he probably accept those people who consider themselves as his agent to call him as a God.



But he is not just a God.



He is who behind everything, it means he is the ultimate secret always concealed by all of these things, including all kinds of holy names.



We’d better admit our ignorance, be more humble,



don't fight any war in the name of God or Tao, or Freedom, Glory, or any Country's name.



Be aware of the various slogans, including "freedom first" "my country first" "me first" "xxx(whatever it is ) first" "weeds rock the world" "we deserve it, let it end".



Why do we have to follow any of them or any other supposed prophecy?



(We are just bricks on different walls, when in fact the walls are the same).



Eve did not lie, there was a serpent, which is an allegory that talks about a sense of continuity such as time or memory. Without such feelings, there are no conditions for the formation of self-awareness or self-knowledge. (This allegory is not so good because self-awareness is not so bad as a snake, without self-knowledge, who can admire the beauty of our worlds, even a God has to come to earth for a birth in our world to understand the most beautiful things in our world: the human joys and even sadness.)



Humans are the most complex animals on the planet. If your body is too simple to perceive your environment clearly, you will find it difficult to perceive the movement and change of everything in front of you.



Without sensing moving or changing images, it is difficult to form the concept or idea of a mirror/screen/stage/platform (self-awareness or self-knowledge), which is often referred to as the ego.



The opposition of what can sense and what is sensed, the opposition of mirror image, the opposition of I and non-I, is called objectified thinking，which is growing up with self-knowledge,



both of which end up trapping us into a dilemma. Either be a miserable sensitive person or a happy ignorant beast. This is why drugs are everywhere(including digital ones and “spiritual” ones) .



Every pair of eyes is different, and we see ourselves differently from how others see us. This is why we feel alone.



The reflection of light takes time.



So we can never see us in the mirror as we are now, all we see is history. You have changed.



If the change is so rapid and you are so sensitive that you suddenly find a face in the mirror that seems to be a stranger whose facial expression does not match your current emotions, you too may go crazy.



Somehow we all lose ourselves.



Clinging to any attachment (including concepts) such as the body, mind, thoughtless states, spiritual experiences, the Tao, God, Śūnyatā, etc., ........ that can never satisfy our desire to find the true Self or the real us. For they are all like images in a mirror, television set or other stage or platform. What we really desire is the 'mirror' and not 'any image', so how can we be satisfied?



You don't have to do anything but realise that the real you or the true self is there all the time.



It's like you're looking for a horse on the back of a horse. Once you realise that you have been riding it from the beginning (or before the beginning) you will immediately stop looking.



Yet within every yang is always a yin, and every belief/hope is based on doubt/fear.



If you are already 100% sure of something, there is no need of a belief.



So the real ultimate war between light and darkness is within us, not outside.



The creator (author) could be a monkey who is typing at random. We just happen to be living in a readable novel in which logic seems to be at work, but not really, and it is the monkey who creates all the illusions that is really at work.



It doesn't matter who the author is. (It is the eternal ultimate question and secret, hidden not only behind all that we sense, but also by all the concepts we imagine, including the Tao, God and emptiness.



One might think that the creator (the author) is so important that all meaning depends on him. But is the meaning of an author complete if he has no readers, especially the author of a detective novel? You might even ask: does he really have any meaning, no matter how big he is, how long he lives, or how great he is in any way?



I asked my son the other day, when he was a little boy, "Is the sky blue?" ." No, at night it's black." He's clever." If there was a superman whose eyes could and always did see infrared or ultraviolet light, would the sky be blue or black for him?" Without the eyes of life, colour means nothing to the sky.



Why should we doubt the meaning of life, why should we not doubt the meaning of the universe, or even the meaning of the creator. No matter how small we may be, no matter how short our lives may be.
