In a sense, immortality is the end of all ideals......

All the ideals of all people in this world are, in essence, based on immortality......

In a sense......

No matter what a person wants to do, as long as he wants to achieve the ultimate, then he will always be more or less unable to avoid the concept of immortality......

Either it takes immortality as the ultimate goal, or it is necessary to live forever before the ultimate goal can be achieved......

Just like for emperors, what they want is to be the emperor for 10,000 years, and if they want to be the emperor for 10,000 years, the most basic condition is to obtain immortality......

In fact, even the most ordinary people will always have some extravagant hopes for life at some point......

It's like being faced with birth, old age, sickness and death!

Especially when a loved one leaves this world, people will always think more or less that if they can live for a long time, will they not have to experience such fear and pain, and if they can live for a long time, will they not have to let their relatives go through such pain......

Taking a step back, even if you can't get immortal life, you can be healthy and die of old age without getting sick, for many people, it can be said that it is a natural desire......

Because the vast majority of people, in their lives, have seen those who died because of illness, and when they lament the passing of life, they will naturally have thoughts of physical injury......

The difference is that some people simply lament the fragility of life, while some people will work hard to make their lives stronger......

Death itself is a thing that brings fear......

And it is precisely the fear of death that makes people thirst for life and health......

In many cases, the original source of the idea of immortality is precisely the fear of death!

The so-called great terror between life and death is such a truth!

Terror stems from the unknown, and it also stems from people's fear of losing their minds......

Because we don't understand, we naturally have the idea of fear, which is an instinctive human emotion that cannot be overcome......

And that's why it's ......

So in a sense, the struggle of human beings all the time, in essence, is to resist the threat of death......

In real life, some people choose to quit smoking and drinking and exercise every day because of the death of their relatives and friends......

Of course, it is still difficult for more people to be truly touched by death, and still maintain their original state of life, after all, the death of people around them and the death they will face are two completely different concepts......

However, there are still a very small number of people!

After realizing the horror of death, they resolutely embarked on the road to immortality!

They abandoned their wealth, their status, and even their families, and resolutely entered the deep mountains and old forests, polishing their spirit and will with the power of nature, and becoming a cultivator with immortality as the ultimate goal......

Their behavior may be very, very unreasonable in the eyes of ordinary people......

But for themselves, this is indeed the best manifestation of their own will!

They know exactly what they want, so they do it naturally, even if they know that what they are doing is not necessarily the right thing to do, and maybe even the opposite......

But they are willing to pay whatever it takes to pursue them!

This is also known as the seeker!

Whether it is seeking the Tao or seeking immortality, in the eyes of many people, it is a very stupid behavior......

Because this kind of behavior itself is not scientific at all......

At least in the realm of science, there is no such thing as immortality......

What human science can do is to continuously improve the physical fitness of human beings through breakthroughs in medical technology and genetic technology, and the average life expectancy and ultimate life expectancy of human beings continue to be imperceptibly improved from generation to generation......

As for the kind of cultivation that only appears in Xianxia novels, in the eyes of many people, it is just a daydream that only those who fantasize about ascending to the sky in one step......

Yes, it's just a pipe dream!

However, in this world, someone always needs to daydream!

is like the Monkey King in Journey to the West, which is a typical example!

As the spokesperson of strength and wisdom in Chinese mythology, Sun Wukong was originally just an ordinary monkey......

And where is the source of his growth?

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than seeing the death of the same kind, and there is a fear and trepidation of death in my heart......

And it is because of this emotion that he wants to pursue immortality!

And consistently, there is no hesitation in this process, and unswervingly go on the road of immortality!

Even in the face of all kinds of powerful spells at his fingertips, Sun Wukong pointed directly to his own heart when he said that he could achieve immortality!

Even if he has experienced so many hardships, even if he has experienced the difficulty of immortality, from knowing nothing to truly understanding, no matter what kind of hardships and hardships he faces, or all kinds of temptations, Sun Wukong's persistence has never changed!

Even after gaining immortality, the first thing Sun Wukong did was to make a big fuss with his own heart, in order to remove the name of the monkey monkey grandson of Huaguo Mountain from the book of life and death!

And this is precisely Sun Wukong's original ideal!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

If in modern society, there is a child at his grandfather's funeral, to his heartbroken grandmother: "Grandma, I also want to be like Monkey King, I want to learn the art of immortality for you, and then go to the underworld to find grandpa back, and then remove the names of grandparents, grandparents, and fathers from the book of life and death, so that our family can live happily together for a lifetime......"

I'm afraid that this child will not get any praise, but after being slightly moved, there may be many people who think that this is just a simple sense of childish words, and even if it is this child himself, when he grows up, I am afraid that his thoughts are actually very, very stupid, very, very ridiculous, and he must have gone crazy watching Journey to the West......

It can be seen that on the road to immortality, sometimes even if you just think about it, it will be a delusion in the eyes of others, and such a person will also be a delusion......

Not to mention practicing this path to immortality......

And even if they are lucky enough to step into the road of immortality, how many of them can stick to their original ideals? In other words, after the vicissitudes of life, how many people remember what their original selves were?

Very little......

However, Monkey King is different!

He did exactly what he wanted to do!

Step by step, I have completed my original ideal!

Many people watch Journey to the West, either because of the majesty of the Great Sage when he was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, or because of Sun Xingzhi's fiery eyes along the way, slaying demons and eliminating demons!

But what really shocks Sun Wukong is that he doesn't forget his original intention!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Yes, don't forget the original intention!

Compared with other things, not forgetting the original intention is the fundamental reason why Sun Wukong can succeed in the true sense!

How hard is the path to immortality?

In fact, it can be seen from Sun Wukong's body!

From a monkey who can't speak human language, he has to make a bamboo raft to ferry to human society, and then gradually understands human language and integrates into human life......

When he can already integrate into human life, after enjoying the prosperity of human beings, he is willing to go into the mountains alone to seek immortals......

Even in the face of Bodhi Ancestor's choice of thousands of spells, he still insisted on whether he could live forever......

This kind of persistence, in ordinary people, is almost impossible to happen!

And it is precisely this persistence, this persistence, that made Sun Wukong succeed in the end!

Of course, the most important thing is that Sun Wukong himself is not an ordinary monkey, but a natural stone monkey, a creature nurtured by the aura of heaven and earth!

And even if it is such a life nurtured by the aura of heaven and earth, it must go through so many trials and tribulations before it can finally embark on the path of immortality, you can see how difficult it is to live forever!

In fact, don't be immortal......

In many cases, it will be difficult for people to maintain their original ideas!

For example, many rural people, when they go to the city to work, will think that they must get ahead in the city, and finally let their parents live a good life, let their villagers live a good life, and if they have money, they will build schools in their hometowns, and if they have money, they will build bridges and pave roads in their hometowns......

In fact, many people will have this idea to a greater or lesser extent before entering the city......

This is also a very normal state of mind......

However, after actually entering the city, the temptations and tests they face will gradually disintegrate their original ideals, and there are only a handful of people who can really do not forget their original intentions!

A large part of them, after encountering difficulties and setbacks, will "rationally" give up their "unrealistic" ideals and pursue some more reasonable ideals, such as making a lot of money without consideration, first having a place to work in the city, a place to live, and then they can live a life close to the city people, so that they can be satisfied......

A small part of them may not give up their persistence after encountering difficulties and setbacks, and they still do not choose to compromise, and eventually some of them may fail and sink completely, but there will also be some people who have achieved a certain degree of success and can live an above-average life in the city......

At this time, they will face the temptation of the city, they will face the glitz and glamour of life, they will indulge in it, and eventually forget their original ideals......

And even if there are a small number of people with a firm mind, even in the face of a glamorous life, they can still maintain their own hearts, and finally become truly famous, make a lot of money, and become rich......

It's also hard for them to take the final step! (To be continued.) )
