The philosophy of "gazing into the abyss"
Nietzsche has a famous saying, which is translated into English: "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares at you." My favorite Chinese translation is this: "Don't look down at the abyss, and the abyss will look back at you."

I happened to see the interpretation of the movie version. At the end of the movie Chinatown Detective 2, the director arranged the role of Yi Song to interpret Nietzsche's famous words. Yi Song said to Qin Feng, "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares at you. So, watch, don't watch for too long. " A detective suspense film with a lively rhythm saw this, and the "haze" in my heart was accompanied by the truth of the film case. Suddenly, I was frightened by the close-up of Yi Song's face and the sentence "Don't look too long", and a chill rushed to my heart from the soles of my feet. ...

Dostoevsky has a saying in brothers karamazov: "God fights the devil, and the battlefield is in people's hearts." Combined with Nietzsche's sentence, we can know that inner and outer are a feedback system, and human beings understand things by their own knowledge and understanding. In other words, we project "inside" to "outside", and "outside" will be projected back to "inside". God and the devil are fighting in people's hearts. If the devil "flies with one foot", then everything we see is evil and full of negative energy. This negative energy in turn nourishes the inner beast. In this way, it becomes an infinite loop of infinite recursion and falls into a "dilemma". Only by "breaking" can we get rid of it.

Similarly, when the Tao is one foot high, the inner "God" will nourish our hearts with the outside, and we will see another world. What is our own world, the world before us is what.

The world we know is only the world processed by our sensory abilities. For example, according to the knowledge of junior high school physics, the essence of color is the wavelength of light, and the sensory ability of our eyes processes the wavelength of light into color, that is to say, the color we see with our eyes is only the appearance of light. Therefore, in Kant's philosophical system, Kant believes that not our cognition conforms to the cognitive object, but conversely, the cognitive object conforms to our cognitive ability.
