I am in completely different states in the morning and at night.
Morning is like a computer that has just been turned on, fast but not running any software. Night is like a computer that has been running all day; it may be a bit sluggish, but all programs can be called up instantly.
When I can't control my emotions, I go to sleep. After one or two sleeps, my mood returns to calm.
Sleep is Just a Moment#
Sleeping is like death. Some people fall asleep because they are too tired, while others do so because they are in a bad mood. Some want to sleep but can't, while others don't want to sleep but do.
In sleep, I temporarily disappear. People live in time, which is a continuous existence. We do not feel how long we have been asleep. Sleep is just a moment for us.
It is precisely because the only time people actually exist in is now, and everything in the past is just a moment, that we feel the illusion.
The Mist of Existence#
Existence is the greatest religion.
Anyone who can discuss issues with us is alive. Excluding those who are deeply obsessed with death, everyone else does not oppose being alive. Among them, the vast majority pursue life. Therefore, existence is the greatest consensus, and it has become "truth." Because of this, we cannot break free from the constraints of this doctrine, speaking little of life and death, blinded by a single leaf.
And the thing that pierces through this greatest religion is death. This stall believes that life and death depend on circumstances. All existence conforms to laws and has a specific appearance. Humans are no exception. Therefore, death is merely the loss of the vessel of existence. When the vessel is intact, life naturally follows. It may no longer be me, but what am I?
What Am I#
Death is just the loss of the vessel, while life is the reappearance of the vessel.
Rituals and Objectivism#
Birth and death are like a huge ritual—calling the soul. It is because of this idea that we always want to express something to help the soul depart at funerals. Previously, a huge torch made of reeds was used, and now a small flashlight is used to illuminate the path ahead, symbolizing the departure of the deceased. However, this ritual is too subjective; nonetheless, rituals are necessary, which is objectivism.
Self-Perceived Continuous Existence#
After waking up, am I still me? Of course, I am me. After reshaping the vessel, I am still me. Humans are a continuous existence, only perceived as continuous; what humans can recognize is only continuity. Discontinuous time is meaningless to people, transcendently objective.
"I" is an Illusion#
"I" is merely an objective concept; believing that there is a true "I" is actually an illusion.
Objectivity is Therefore Illusion#
To put it straightforwardly, being sufficiently objective is the greatest illusion.
