"When humans think, God laughs" comes from Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being". Milan Kundera said. But this seems to be an ancient Hebrew proverb. The general idea is that as human beings with limitations within a limited life, they do not understand their own insignificance and ignorance, but they like to think and act beyond the infinite.

The thinker is the rib of God, if God exists. Can ribs also think, so God smiled! In fact, God does not exist, so thoughts are the thinker's own ribs!

People cannot understand God. Maybe to God we are just dolls. . . . Many great scientists among mankind want to use science to explain the mysteries of the universe. Newton used universal gravitation to explain why the celestial bodies in the universe can maintain balance with each other, but failed, because if this is the case, the universe should have a center, and this center Where? Einstein proposed the theory of relativity, but these giants in the history of human science all surrendered to God in the end. Those who have watched Men in Black will be very impressed by the scene at the end of the movie, the big hand and pocket that takes away all the galaxies. We humans may just be bacteria in a petri dish in God’s laboratory. Or maybe our existence is just a joke of God.

"Beguiled by the voice of Utopia, they squeezed through the door of heaven. But when the door slammed behind them, they found themselves in hell."

In In Kundera's world, life is such a state: you can never escape the limitations of time and space, and you can never escape the thoughts that belong only to humans. The more you want to transcend, the invisible shackles attached to humans will become tighter. , making it difficult to breathe.

"When humans think, God laughs." This now widely circulated aphorism expresses Kundera's entire understanding of life and the entire human world, because of human beings' smartness and because of human beings themselves. of smallness and insignificance.

Milan Kundera said it under certain historical conditions and has a specific meaning. Now it may seem a bit negative. As the saying goes, benevolence sees benevolence and wisdom sees wisdom. The understanding of this sentence depends on whose mouth it comes from. It can be used as a quote worth pondering, or it can be used as an alibi and excuse for some people.

God does not exist. How to understand the concept of "God"? God is just an alienation of human beings. In fact, the God here is no longer God in a pure sense, but represents a kind of vast cosmic time and space. Human thinking usually seems small in this kind of time and space, but don’t think there is anything wrong with it. Yes, without thinking, people cannot be called human beings. As we get closer to the truth, God will smile on us. Do you want a smile like this?

Personally, I am an atheist, but I often mention the word "God" and I like this sentence very much.
