Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?

The famous philosopher Socrates' Three Questions about the Soul naturally emerged in Li Chengyou's mind.

This seems to be accidental, but it is also inevitable.

After all, Li Chengyou is different from others. He is a time traveler. He not only has memories of this life, but also memories of past lives.

After such a strange and unique experience, after the troubles of survival are solved, unless he is a person who muddles along and goes with the flow, sooner or later, after there is no crisis of survival, or after satisfying his inner desires, one day he will inevitably...

Will definitely think about this issue.

If the warehouse is solid, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.

This is an objective necessity.

After physiological security and needs are met, or to put it another way, after sufficient satisfaction is obtained from the outside world, it can be said that it is an inevitable trend for the human spirit to focus from the outside in and explore the inner soul of the self.

This is determined by human nature.

Otherwise, hundreds of schools of thought would not have appeared in the East, and countless philosophical sages would not have appeared in the West.

Li Chengyou has traveled through time for more than two years. With the advantages brought by his past life accumulation and past life memories, Li Chengyou has long been able to get rid of this problem in terms of survival, and it is foreseeable to the naked eye that the problem of survival will not be a problem for him in the future.

Not only is it a matter of survival, fame and fortune are also within easy reach for him.

After his physiological needs are solved, his fame and fortune needs are also solved, so for Li Chengyou, pursuing himself and the meaning of life has become an objective necessity.

Otherwise, if a person has no direction in life, all that will be left in the end will be emptiness.

so.

This flash of inspiration was an accident, because just receiving a call from Kim's mother and Kim Ji-ni's words touched Li Chengyou's heart very accidentally.

But it is also a necessity.

The strange and unique time-travel experience makes Li Chengyou's life different from others, which will inevitably lead to the fact that after satisfying his external desires sooner or later, Li Chengyou will inevitably think about the meaning of his existence when he turns to others.

The breadth of a person's cognition determines the depth of his thinking.

Some people only focus on the money, fame and status in front of them. These are the only things they recognize, so in their perception, these are the meaning of their life and existence.

This is understandable and requires no criticism.

Because this is determined by the external environment, they must solve the crisis problem of survival, food and clothing, and after satisfying their sexual desires, they may have free time to think about other problems. Most people even have no chance to satisfy themselves in their lives.

These desires, so they have no time or are too lazy to think about these seemingly empty questions that seem meaningless to survival.

Even in their view, those who pursue the meaning of life are simply a group of idle fools.

But what about objective facts?

Without these people who are searching for the meaning of life, where would the hundreds of schools of thought and philosophical sages come from?

Everyone, at different stages of life, will inevitably change their depth of thinking as their cognitive breadth expands.

It is an inevitable result that Li Chengyou's strange and unique time travel experience will make him think about the meaning of life.

Otherwise, a person has traveled through time without any thought about time travel, and has not even been touched by the strange experience of past and present lives, without any deeper thinking... If there is an existential crisis, that's fine, but after solving the existential crisis

, we still treat such strange experiences as ordinary, muddle along and live with them. Objectively speaking, taking this for granted as normal is the biggest abnormality and the most unthinking logic that goes against human nature.

A person with normal thinking would not be curious about such a strange experience, nor could he ignore it, without any mentality of exploration and exploration.

Maybe it will be sooner or later to wake up to this problem, but eventually we will inevitably face and think about it.

Think about the meaning of his existence.

Just like this, after Li Chengyou realized this problem in a flash of inspiration, it became inevitable to pursue the answer to this question.

The night is getting darker.

The moon sets and the sun rises, seemingly suddenly, the sky becomes brighter and the morning sun rises from the east.

Li Chengyou stood up, walked to the window sill, opened the curtains, and looked outside the room.

The bright sunshine is pouring down, there are no clouds in the sky, and the sky is clear and blue.

Li Chengyou didn't sleep all night, but he didn't feel tired at this moment, and his spirit was full of high-spirited excitement.

A night of thinking.

Although he still hasn't found the answers to many questions, he doesn't even know where to start.

But Li Chengyou felt excited to clear away the fog and no longer be confused.

He has traveled back in time for more than two years. In the first year, he has been solving the problem of survival and working hard for the freedom of wealth. For the time being, he has no time to distract himself from thinking about other things. But after becoming free of wealth and no longer troubled by the problem of survival, on the surface,

He seems to have been busy, not troubled, and not confused about life.

But what about actually?

As time went by, Li Chengyou gradually felt bored and uninterested.

With the help of his past life memories, fame, fortune and status can be said to be within easy reach for him.

Fame and fortune?

Although it is not certain that all of the market-proven movies in the past life in my memory will be a box office hit in the parallel world, there is still no problem in gaining reputation without losing money. This can be learned from the success of previous movies.

verify.

status?

Not to mention the wealth and fame that movies can win him, after the development of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and "League of Legends" - yes, there is also the investment in Big Hit's BTS - his wealth and fame will increase.

Speed ​​can also be said to be inevitable. In a capitalist country like South Korea, wealth, fame and status are directly related.

Whether it's wealth, fame, or status, when these are all easily accessible to Li Chengyou without any difficulty, what should Li Chengyou pursue for the rest of his life?

Continue to pursue wealth, fame, status, and...women?

It just repeats round after round every day, and there is almost no difficulty or level. When success becomes no longer cherished, it becomes easy and easy to pick up. Getting it too easily only adds to the boredom and uninterestingness.

Li Chengyou is actually feeling bored now.

The reason why he boasted to the outside world at the launch conference of "Train to Busan" that he would exceed 10 million box office was that he mistakenly thought it was just for publicity. But now I think about it, it is not for publicity. After analyzing the inner desire, it is actually just

I wanted to add some difficulty and criticism to myself, so that the success of this movie would be more interesting.

The text seems to be displeased with mountains.

The article is like this, and so is life.

It's like wandering in an endless grassland or desert. No matter how gorgeous the scenery is, once you stay there for a long time without any change and it's just repeated over and over again, then all that's left will be disgust and annoyance.

Just like work, once repeated, it will become boring.

Success, too.

so.

Li Chengyou was extremely excited at this time.

He has a new pursuit for the rest of his life and understands what he should explore?

In life, you must always have a goal, otherwise it will be too boring.

As for where to start...

Before Li Chengyou could think deeply, at this moment, a text message alert suddenly sounded.

Li Chengyou turned around, walked to the desk, and picked up his phone.

I clicked it and glanced at it, and was about to put it down.

Suddenly, an idea suddenly came to my mind.

There are three human natures: cherishing life, cherishing happiness, and cherishing self. On the other hand, life is actually about being satisfied, restrained, or transcending these natures.

He wanted to explore the meaning of existence, but he didn't know where to start.

So……

The ancients said that rocks from other mountains can attack jade.

Since you don’t have a clue yet, why not get some reference from others.

He provides opportunities to satisfy the other person's desires. Perhaps the other person's choices can give him some inspiration, and also confirm whether his summary of human nature is consistent with the facts.

so.
