Mystery of Civilization 黃易 458Words 2023-02-05
Assuming that aliens come to the earth, they must be puzzled by many human behaviors, such as why the food and drink that sustain life are so ever-changing. Instead of drinking good water, they have to drink, soda, and drinks with chemical ingredients ?Why are the corpses of other creatures sent to the dining table in all kinds of unimaginable packaging and fancy styles, laughing and chewing?Why is there so much food in some places that it is dumped in the garbage dumps, while people in some places starve to death by the side of the road?Why should a large group of people be exploited and killed by a small group of people?The list goes on and on.

But we can't see these absurd things, because we are in the game, and we only feel that everything in front of us is just and fair, just like the sun rising from the east and setting in the west? Assuming that an insider sees everything around him through the eyes of an outsider, he will come to the existentialist conclusion that the world is absurd. Just like "The Stranger" written by Camus, although it is his country and his hometown, the protagonist never feels that he belongs there, but is just a stranger in a foreign land.So when he was sentenced to death and the priest came to preach to him, he grabbed the priest by the throat and growled: I have the imminent death and the present before death, but you have nothing.

This is the helpless cry of a person trapped in the situation. Outsiders are lonely and have no market. If life is like a dream, let's have a good dream!What else can we do?
