Ninja World: Insect Princess from Konoha

Chapter 883 The Meaning of Life

The history of life is the history of strife.

The so-called survival means exchanging material with the outside world, taking nourishment for survival, and passively or actively inflicting harm, which is an indispensable part of life activities.

In other words, the life of life is the life of fighting.

So, what is the meaning of life.

Pointless.

Humans have only existed in this world for a few hundred thousand years, and stars have existed in this universe for billions of years. Will the universe care about you and me?

Of course I don't care, life is just dust.

In the long run, the various activities of life have no purpose and meaning, what is the purpose of living, what should be done, and what is the meaning.

It may be a question that everyone has thought about more or less.

And that's existential anxiety.

If this problem cannot be overcome well, it will evolve into a result.

Not interested in anything.

numbness.

Or put it badly.

You will easily feel that my current life is not good enough, but it doesn’t seem to be bad. As far as I can see, there is nothing particularly interesting to try. Nothing in particular, I have no desires, nothing in particular, or a way of life in particular.

So, why don't I keep the status quo.

This creates a sense of emptiness that eats away at the passion and drive of life, causing life to wander in a logically erroneous death spiral, never able to take the right step.

How to deal with this problem.

A classic answer is that life itself has no meaning, but you can give it a meaning.

Miki appreciates Orochimaru. He may be the only ninja in the entire ninja world who can recognize the truth of life. There is only one kind of heroism in this world, that is, people who still love life after recognizing the truth of life.

"Life itself may be meaningless, but if you live, you will find interesting things, such as you meeting that flower, like I met you."

At this point, the boy's life has meaning, and that is to follow the back of Orochimaru.

Isn't it a kind of love, a kind of heroism, and an attitude to face life.

While true, it's a little too simplistic.

From an individual level, this question is actually impossible to answer.

why?
Because existence is the most original state of a system, the cause and starting point of everything, therefore, the meaning of existence itself is a self-referential issue.

There is no way to get an answer to this kind of question from inside the system, only from outside the system.

To put it simply, the individual cannot be aware of the individual's own problems, and can only be corrected by the intervention of another individual.

For example, ants cannot understand why they exist, but outside the ant system, humans can understand why it exists.

To use another analogy, human beings are proud of their own technology, and they really think that their technology tree is not a little crooked, but if a higher-level alien civilization observes from the outside of the human system, it can clearly see various Ridiculous miss.

So, how was this problem solved in the previous ninja world?

It's very simple, use a small collective to bind the individual, and let this small collective become the foundation and purpose of the individual's existence.

The most common ones are family, community, religion, ninja village.

How to keep the whole clan alive in the Warring States Period is the meaning of the entire life of an individual in the ninja clan.

It's the same for Hashirama, it's the same for Togama, and it's the same for Madara.

Even if Madara later changed the meaning of existence, in essence, he failed to fully awaken.

In the era of Ninja Village, even though the bottle was replaced with a new one, the wine in it was not changed at all, and it could be used directly.

Why did the old guys in the Warring States Period resist Ninja Village's deprivation of their rights? This is because Konoha itself denied the meaning of their lives all along.

Ask, what is education.

Everyone's answer may be different. Some people think that the upper class wants to let the lower class create more wealth, and some people think that it is a ladder to change their own destiny.

And Maggie's answer is to make people wake up and choose their own life.

In the modern ninja world, due to the popularization of education, the development of the Internet, and the impact of information, individual consciousness began to flourish. It is no longer believed that a person must rely on family, community, and religion, but can dominate his own destiny.

The young people of the ninja clan moved away from the ninja clan and lived alone, which is the embodiment of this kind of thinking.

It is also a means for Miki to quietly disintegrate the ninja and other power groups.

How can we find the meaning of life when we lose these systems to which we can attach ourselves?

It's still the same set, looking for a substitute.

You have to find something higher than the individual, integrate yourself into it, make yourself a part of it, so that it can provide meaning to your existence.

Today's young people will regard Ai Konoha as the meaning of their existence, but it is not absolute, and it can also be other things he loves.

Therefore, what is the meaning of Tsunade's existence, the answer is already very simple, isn't it.

So, what is the meaning of Maggie's existence?

Go to the pier for chips the whole time?
The simpler and purer the purpose, the easier it is to obtain happiness.

Flying to the sky is not the goal for Meiji, but exploration is. All the knowledge and scenery that she has never known are things that Meiji wants to see.

Going forward, looking forward, is the only purpose of Mei Ji in this life.

What Maggie is doing is a journey of life.

Many people in the ninja world are looking for the meaning of their lives all their lives.

Hashirama is, Togama is, Sandai is, Jirai is also, Orochimaru is also, it's all like this.

In this world, from birth to death, no one gives you an order to ask you to accomplish something, you are completely free.

It is precisely because you freely choose a career that is higher than the individual, and you are willing to devote time and energy to it, even sacrificing a certain degree of freedom and other possibilities, these things you invest in constitute the meaning of your life .

Conversely, if you are only pursuing something out of utilitarianism and benefits, you will definitely face this problem.

I work so hard to make myself better, to have more resources, and to gain the recognition, affirmation, and envy of others.
and then?
Without that, it's hard for you to answer.

All purposes within life cannot circumvent a problem.

Since everything is for life, then what is life for.

It's easy to fall into a pendulum state.

Life is swinging back and forth between two tragedies, one is the pain in the process of chasing desire, and the other is the emptiness and boredom after achieving desire.

It's like drawing cards with krypton gold.

If you don't really like paper man wives, don't smoke, you'll regret it.

Just like Madara, what he pursues will definitely bring him nothing but emptiness and boredom.

And Tsunade is in pain now, seeing the scenes of people fighting bloody in front of his eyes, he can't stop the regret welling up in his heart, but it turns into hatred in an instant.

"Why are you doing this!? Miki!!!"

The problem was blamed on Miki.

"Laugh to death, isn't this exactly the freedom you want?"

"Look, you have lifted my mind control, and people's behaviors are all based on their own choices."

"How, it's shocking."

Miki opened her hands, as if embracing the world, staring at Tsunade opposite.

Shocked, Tsunade choked speechlessly.

Who am I, where am I, what am I going to do, this is not what I want.

A mess in the mind.
But she had no way out, and in the end there was only one thought in her mind.

He could only, and must, defeat Maggie.

"People can't realize their own mistakes."

"Even if you realize it, you will deny it bluntly."

"Tsunade, I will play with you well, come on, continue."

Maggie hates the word fate, it means that everything in the world is a given, and it also means that there is no way to resist, and all possibilities are lost. Then, everything in this world, including herself, life, and the universe, is meaningless.

The existence of fate is a kind of blasphemy for life.

The ninja world is a world of fate, therefore, it is full of reincarnation and fate.

So Miki hates Naruto.

Under the influence of fate, he is just an exquisite puppet without his own soul and thoughts, following a false established path, with a false meaning of existence, and a lifeless beauty of tenacious fighting.

Not even the trilobites who have survived several crises of annihilation and survived tenaciously.

No, it's a little too impolite for a trilobite to say that.

Tsunade, since you want to resist and fight, how long will you hold on to the meaning of life I gave you?

"If you want to be the savior, then, beat me, Tsunade, otherwise, you won't be able to save anyone."

"Mage!!!"

Roaring, Tsunade rushed forward.

Miki saw Tsunade's soul.

Confused, painful, overwhelmed like a child.

But indeed a beautiful soul, a light of life.
