What happens to people

What is a human being? The general explanation is a creature that walks upright on two feet and has created intelligence and civilization on earth. This is an extremely general and crude explanation. Were we human before we walked upright on two feet? At what stage of biology are we human and at what stage are we not human? What are we when we are not human? Is a butterfly in the caterpillar stage or the chrysalis stage? Is a human being at the stage of living in the ocean and at the stage of bouncing around in the trees? It is very difficult to define what is human, we can only define ourselves based on the significant change in the way we exist, and we can only call ourselves human in the stage of having the ability to speak and the ability to be mentally intelligent. This is very comparable. What have we encountered and experienced from the stage where we are not human to the stage after we become human? What changes have we undergone? And it is only from this perspective that we can know what we have experienced as human beings.

We mutate from ordinary creatures to human beings and enter into a state of existence different from the original one, which is existence with life as ethics. We do not realize that this is an essential change to our original way of being. Survival or non-survival becomes the selection criterion that determines behavior, and the process of survival rises to become the purpose of our behavior. Before this we as ordinary creatures had no purpose, we moved with the rhythm of existence, and the purpose of existence was our purpose. What does the change in the purpose of existence bring to us? It brings about a fundamental change in the meaning of our existence and the logic of our behavior. The purely spiritual concept of existence as a prerequisite for our behavior is the new rule on earth, by which all things in existence change their purpose of use. The most typical sign is that we are no longer the existence of existence, we are the existence of self-life; we are no longer facing the natural world, we are facing the existence of our kind. In other words, we have not only changed the purpose of the world, but we have also changed the purpose of man himself.

The world is ourselves, and we exist by all the laws and regulations of nature, and this existence does not require any other deliberate behavior. This is the unchanging rule that all living things have followed to this day. However, as spiritual human beings, we began to live deliberately, that is, as beings fighting against death, and our activity is to ensure the independent existence of our own life. We have found another purpose for ourselves out of thin air, called survival. To survive, everything we do is a price to pay. The original natural existence becomes a deliberate survival activity, and this change makes humans never again have the original ease and comfort. This is the heavy shackle that our spiritual consciousness has put on us, and the weight of survival has been weighing on us all our lives.

A more significant change is the existence of our kind, the concept of life turns people into others. Others are the competition for life's existence, and others are the greatest threat to man's self-interest in life. Because once the concept of life is established, the life of others is no longer the same existential position; the life of others is not only irrelevant to self-existence but is also the greatest contender for survival resources and survival interests. We used to live in the face of existence but now we live in the face of others. The relationship between human beings has become a relationship of interest and life and death, to the extreme of a relationship of death and life. Before becoming a hun being, the relationship between similar creatures was the default relationship of sameness and mutual benefit in many ways. When separated by the consciousness of life, human beings become the main antagonists of each other, and our intelligence and ability to deal with others is the main one.

This survival competition between humans is unique among living things, and all organisms of the same species are in a monolithic relationship, and the larger the base of individuals in this monolithic relationship, the closer the linkage and the higher the degree of existence, that is, the higher the security of the existence of the population and the more the existence of individuals in the species is guaranteed. We encounter the opposite pattern, the stronger our desire to survive, the more intense the competition between individuals; the more intense the competition, the less the survival of individuals is guaranteed; the more independent and separated the individual life is, the lower the existence of the human population ...... This paradoxical logic only occurs in the human population, because only humans survive, while other organisms still exist. They do not create irrational antagonism between similar populations because of the concept of having life independent existence, and there is no ethical competition between you and me in the same population. They do not destroy themselves, but only we humans, we suffer our destruction against ourselves.

Man encounters not a confrontation with the world, but the man himself against himself. It is most puzzling why, with our spiritual intelligence, we have instead made ourselves our own worst enemy. Instead of contributing to the survival of the human species, we have used the ethics of survival to kill ourselves. The seemingly highly irrational logic of our spirit encountering our spirit, our wrestling encountering our wrestling, our contradictions encountering our contradictions, is our spiritual product. Since we became human beings, we have started an irreconcilable war between people, and we have turned ourselves into living individuals just for this battle of the century.

Thousands of years of war among men is the most absurd and incomprehensible scene in this world, and the sign that we have become human is endless suffering. The most unbelievable thing is that the pain we experience comes almost entirely from ourselves. Because before we are separated by life, we just can't distinguish each other's existence. We must know that at that time, we are not surviving, and we are not surviving for the sake of life. This is the major difference between before we become human and after we become human.
