Li Dan said at the tucao conference: "This world is not worth it". This sentence was later badly beaten by netizens. Many people questioned the seemingly pessimistic sentence "The world is not worth it": You told me that the world is not worth it, so am I going to leave this world?

Faced with the doubts of many netizens, Li Dan had to explain again, but his explanation was in line with his own style, short and incisive, without saying a word. His explanation is "be happy."

Li loved Buddhism when he was in college. His values may be that it is unnecessary to live in this life, and happiness is the most important thing. In the interview, he once said, "I either live for something or just live." In his values, living is right, and there is no need to ask so many questions.

This is somewhat similar to the idea of existentialism philosophy, as Camus said in The Myth of Sisyphus:

Life is worth living just because it is meaningless.

The Myth of Sisyphus is an essay written by Abel Camus in 194 1 year. This book thinks about how to make a living from Camus's own personal point of view, and summarizes this wisdom of life as the universal experience of human beings. Decades have passed, and this masterpiece has been read and studied by generations of human beings, guiding us how to survive well in this absurd world.

1, absurd world: Life is repeating the same life, so what is the meaning of living?

Get up, take the tram, work in the office or factory for four hours, eat, take the tram, work for another four hours, eat, sleep, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are the same rhythm.

So day after day, maybe you are still aware that your life is being consumed by boredom, maybe you suddenly realize "why", and you suddenly think that the rest of your life may be like this, and you shudder. It is at the moment when you realize this that you feel that your life is miserable.

But when you realize the boring side of life, people will be separated from life, and people will have a sense of absurdity, which is difficult to capture, but will appear at any time. Life is absurd, the world is absurd, everything is absurd and everything is meaningless. This is the real world.

This ubiquitous sense of absurdity always reminds people of a particularly sensitive topic-suicide. At the beginning of The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus deeply discussed the absurdity of the world and the connection between absurdity and self-killing.

Through the discussion of absurdity, Camus wants to tell people that instead of committing suicide and pinning their hopes on an imaginary afterlife, it is better to stand up and resist absurdity. How to resist absurdity? Camus' answer, and Li Dan once said that "it is good to live" is the answer.

Life is meaningless, there is no need to pursue it, just live.

In order to explore this truth, Camus wrote the novel The Outsider, the drama caligula and the essay The Myth of Sisyphus. "Three absurdities" form a trinity in different genres, and cut into "absurdity". It can be seen that Camus is deeply thinking about the theme of life.

2. Philosophical suicide: For the time being, whether God really exists or not, people want him to exist?

Shestov said:

The only way out is precisely where human beings judge that there is no way out. Otherwise, what else do we need from God? People seek the impossible from God. As for what can be done, someone is enough.

Shestov's belief in God is Camus's "philosophical suicide", that is, shestov believes that when human beings can't find the meaning of survival, they can pin their hopes on religion (or God). When a person thinks so, he has "killed himself" mentally.

Religion is not the way for human beings to escape from absurdity, because moths are free in people's hearts and must be found in people's hearts. Absurdity does not exist without human heart. So even if you escape into religion, the absurdity is still in people's minds.

"Philosophical suicide" is not the way out at all. How to find the meaning and depth of the world from the absurd and meaningless world is the theme of Camus' myth of Sisyphus.

3. Real Warriors: Life is worth living just because it is meaningless.

Li Dan, who said that "the world is not worth it", is "the hardest worker in the world". It is precisely because Li Dan saw through the absurdity of the world that living is living and happiness.

In Greek mythology, Sisyphus fled from hell, stayed on earth and refused to return. The gods punished Sisyphus for constantly pushing a boulder to the top of the mountain, and the boulder rolled down again because of its own weight. The gods rightly believe that the most terrible punishment is useless and hopeless work. In the eyes of many people, this kind of fruitless work is indeed the most terrible, but Camus thinks that in Sisyphus's thought, it is like this: pushing stones up the mountain again and again, endlessly, but so what? At least you can enjoy different scenery every time you go down the mountain.

In the process of pushing stones up the mountain, Sisyphus may find a meaning for a meaningless life, that is, to enjoy the ease of going down the mountain and the stars and beautiful scenery in the mountain.

In the movie Jurassic Park 1, people thought that cloning only one sex of dinosaurs could control the reproduction of dinosaurs, but in the end it got out of control. There is a classic line: "Life will always find its own way out."

As the cleverest animal, how can human beings abandon hope, resist absurdity and find their own way out for their own lives in the absurd world? Camus told us the answer in The Myth of Sisyphus.

If evolutionary history has taught us anything, it is that life is infinite. Life will embrace freedom, expand new fields and break through all obstacles, which may be full of pain and even very dangerous. Jurassic park
