One day you will understand that the world is the real "hell"

01

Someone said on Zhihu that I went from heaven to hell and passed through the human world on the way.

The human world is precisely separated between hell and heaven. It can be said that it is a combination of darkness and light. It has both hope and sinking, which is a contradiction.

And all the contradictions in this universe will make people feel uneasy and painful.

What are your thoughts on this "human world"?

Some people believe that people come to the world to "enlighten". Therefore, no matter what happens in the world, people have to obey it.

Some people believe that people come to this world to "suffer" during their lifetime. In this way, no matter how hard you struggle, it is impossible to escape from the cycle of suffering in the world.

Is this world really full of "misfortune"?

The ancients have long said: "Nine times out of ten things will go wrong in life."

As long as you live in the world, as long as you are a human being, as long as you still have to make money, then you will You must endure the pain of this world. And when happiness will come, no one knows.

A Zen master once said very well that the human world is a hell of practice. If I don't go to hell, how can I become a Buddha?

Is the human world really "hell"? Perhaps, everyone has their own answer.

Someone once asked this question: "If you could do it over again, would you still come to the world?"

Many people are right. This issue is particularly touching. Some people even think that if they had a choice, they would rather not enjoy these hundred years or come to this world.

There is such a story.

In a rural family, there was a couple who raised three children. But these three children did not finish primary school before they came out to do farm work.

Many relatives and neighbors asked them, why do they let their children go out to work at such a young age? Wouldn't it be good to let them finish junior high school and then start working when they are older?

The child’s father said this. When I was their age, I was already helping my parents with work. Is it wrong to let them come out early to do farm work now?

In this way, with this idea, the children gave up studying and became illiterate directly, following the same old path as their parents.

Therefore, the three children of this family all live a poor and busy life, as if they are destined for this life. In this way, they have become puppets.

When these three children grew up, they still required their offspring to do hard work and farm work, without any life changes at all.

It can be said that this generation and the next generation of this family are all living in a cycle. And this cycle consumes the lives of these people.

If the human world is a "cyclical" existence, then what is the meaning of human life?

You go back to the old ways of your parents, and he goes back to the old ways of his predecessors. Ever since, this world has become like an "assembly line", producing all kinds of people, producing similar and helpless lives.

Take the well-known "996" as an example. Let me ask, how many people can escape "996" and survive? rare.

No matter how capable you are, no matter what your academic qualifications are, as long as you are not from some enterprise or institution, as long as you are from a lower class, then the door of "996" will always be open to you.

This is not a joke, but a reality.

We found that there are many people who can earn high wages without basically having to work. However, these people are in the minority after all.

We found that there are many people who arrived in "Rome" as soon as they were born and did not need to struggle at all. However, these people are not us after all.

For us ordinary people, if you want to live, you have to work hard. If you want to live a better life, then you have to participate in the "996" life model.

This pattern cannot be changed by one person. Because most people are competing and struggling in it. There may be some people who live a worse life than 996.

The human world is just a processing factory and a hell.

In cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, we can find that there are actually many people who are using their "lives" to compete and exchange "lives" for money.

There was once a young man who went to work hard in a big city when he was young. Because he is not a local, he works very hard and just wants to settle in a big city.

When he was in his 30s, his monthly salary in a big city was already 15,000. Although he didn't say much, he saw hope.

In the later period, he stayed up late and worked overtime, regardless of his health to make money. Ever since, when he was 39 years old, problems arose.

As the saying goes, "When the house leaks, it rains all night, and when the boat breaks, it rains all night." When he became ill, not only did his company lay him off, but he also ran out of money.

There was no other way. After his body recovered a little, he chose to return to his hometown and could only survive by doing odd jobs.

The dream of the past was shattered, and all that was left to him was a piece of chicken feathers.

Many people in life have actually had similar experiences. I thought I would be able to achieve a great career and realize my dreams, but who knew that God did not follow my wishes and made me suffer too much misfortune.

Therefore, people will feel that the world is not worth it and is a hell.

But no matter what, many of us are members of the human world. If it is heaven, then we all enjoy the glory. If it's hell, then we all have to go through it.

This is a contradictory world of equality and injustice, and no matter how hard people struggle, they cannot stay out of it and can only obey.
