Someone said on Zhihu that I went from heaven to hell, passing through the world halfway through.
The human world is precisely blocked in hell and heaven. It can be said that it is a combination of darkness and light. It has both hope and decay, and it is a contradiction.
And all the contradictions between this universe will make people feel uneasy and painful.
What do you really think about this "human world"?
Some people believe that when people stand in the world, they come to "feel" it. Therefore, no matter what the human world becomes, people have to obey it.
And some people believe that when people live one life, they come to this earthly world to "suffer." In this way, no matter how you struggle, it is impossible to escape the strange circle of human suffering.
Is this world really full of "misfortune"?
The ancients have long said: "Life is not satisfactory, nine times out of ten." ”
As long as you live in the human world, as long as you are human, as long as you still have to make money, then you will definitely have to bear the pain of this world. And when happiness will come, no one knows.
A Zen master once said it well, the human world is a hell of practice. If I don't go to hell, then how do I become a Buddha?
Is the human world really "hell"? Perhaps, everyone has their own answer.

Someone once asked the question: "If you can do it all over again, will you still come to the human world?" ”
Many people are particularly touched by this problem. Some people even think that if you have a choice, you would rather not enjoy this hundred years of time than come to this world.
There is such a story.
In a rural family, there was such a couple, and they raised three children. But these three children, they did not finish primary school and came out to do farm work.
Many relatives and neighbors have asked them, why do they let their children come out to work at such a young age? Isn't it better to let them finish junior high school and work after they are older?
The father of the child said so, when I was as old as they were, I had already helped my parents. Is it wrong to let them come out early now to do farm work?
In this way, with such an idea, the children gave up reading, and directly became illiterate, walking the same old path as their parents.
Therefore, the three children of this family, they all live a poor and busy life, as if this life is destined to be good. In this way, they also live as puppets.
When these three children grew up, they still asked their descendants to do hard work and farm work, and there was no life change at all.
It can be said that this generation and the next generation of this family, they are living in the cycle. And this cycle devours the lives of these people.

If the human world is a "circular" existence, then what is the meaning of human life?
You go back to the old path of your parents, and he goes back to the old path of his predecessors. As a result, this human world has become an "assembly line", producing a variety of people, producing a similar and helpless life.
Take the "996" as we know it. How many people can escape the "996" and survive? seldom.
No matter how capable you are, no matter what your academic qualifications are, as long as you are not from some enterprises and institutions, as long as you are a relatively low-class, then the door of "996" will always be open to you.
This is not a kind of ridicule, but a reality.
We found that there are a lot of people who can get high salaries without going to work. However, these people are ultimately a minority.
We find that there are many people who were born in "Rome" and did not need to struggle at all. But these people are not us after all.
For us ordinary people, if you want to live, you have to work hard. If you want to live better, then you have to participate in the "996" life model.
And this pattern is not something that anyone can change. Because most people are competing and struggling in it. It is possible that some people, they are still living a worse life than 996.
The human world is a processing plant and a hell.

In cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, we can find that there are actually many people who are using "life" to compete and "life" to exchange money.
There was a young man who went to the big city to work hard when he was young. Because he is not a local, he works very hard and only wants to settle in the big city.
In his 30s, his monthly salary in the big city was already fifteen thousand. Although it was not much to say, he saw hope.
In the later period, he stayed up late and worked overtime, regardless of health to make money. So, at the age of 39, there was a problem.
The so-called "house leaks in the overnight rain, the ship breaks and encounters the wind." When he fell ill, not only did his company fire him, but his money was spent about the same.
There was no way, after his body recovered a little, he chose to return to his hometown, and he could only spend his days with odd jobs.
The dreams of the past were shattered, and all that was left for him was a field of chicken feathers.
Many people in life have actually had similar experiences. I thought I could achieve a career and realize my dreams, but who knows, it is not the sky that wishes, so I have endured too many misfortunes.
Therefore, people will also feel that the human world is not worth it, and the human world is hell.
But in any case, many of us are members of the human world. If it is heaven, then we all enjoy the glory. If it's hell, then we all have to be tested.
This is a contradictory world of equality and injustice, and no matter how much man struggles, he cannot stay out of it, but can only obey.
