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

The famous philosopher Socrates' three questions about the soul naturally came to Lee Seung-woo's mind.

It may seem like an accident, but it's also inevitable.

After all, Lee Seung-woo is different from others, he is a time-traveler, not only with the memories of this life, but also from the past life.

After such a strange and unique experience is solved, unless he is a person who gets by and goes with the flow, sooner or later, after there is no existential crisis, or after the inner desire is satisfied, one day he will inevitably and definitely think about this problem.

Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing.

This is an objective necessity.

After physiological safety and needs have been satisfied, or to put it another way, when sufficient satisfaction has been obtained from the outside world, it can be said that it is an inevitable tendency for the human spirit to focus on the inner soul of the self from the outside in.

This is dictated by human nature.

Otherwise, there would not be a hundred schools of thought in the East, and there would not be countless philosophical sages in the West.

Lee Seung-woo has traveled over for more than two years, and with the accumulation of his previous life and the advantages brought by the memory of his previous life, Lee Seung-woo has already gotten rid of this problem in terms of survival, and it is foreseeable to the naked eye that the problem of survival will not be his problem in the future.

is not only a matter of survival, but also at his fingertips in terms of fame and fortune.

The physiological needs have been solved, and the needs of fame and fortune have also been solved, so for Lee Seung-woo, the pursuit of self and the meaning of life has become an objective necessity.

Otherwise, if people don't even have a direction in life, what will be left in the end will only be emptiness.

So.

This flash of inspiration was an accident, because just receiving a call from Kim Mu and Kim Ji-ni's words touched Lee Seung-woo's heart very accidentally.

But it's also an inevitability.

The bizarre and unique experience of time travel makes Lee Seung-woo's life different from others, which will inevitably lead to the fact that after satisfying his external desires sooner or later, Lee Seung-woo will inevitably and eventually think about the meaning of his existence.

The breadth of human cognition determines the depth of human thinking.

Some people only pay attention to the firewood, rice, oil, salt, fame, fortune and status in front of them, and all they know is these things, so in their cognition, these are the meaning of their life and existence.

There is nothing wrong with this, and there is no need to criticize it.

Because this is determined by the external environment, they must solve the crisis of survival and clothing, and after satisfying the desire for sound and sex, they may have time to think about other problems. Even most people don't have the opportunity to satisfy these desires in their lifetime, so they don't have time or bother to think about these seemingly empty questions that don't seem to make sense for life.

Even in their opinion, those who seek the meaning of life are simply a bunch of idle fools.

But what about objective facts?

If there are no people who seek the meaning of life, where would they come from?

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

Lee Seung-woo's bizarre and unique experience of crossing will make him think about the meaning of life, which is an inevitable result.

Otherwise, a person has crossed over, but he has not thought about crossing at all, not even about the strange experience of his past and present lives, and without any thinking about a deeper dimension...... If there is an existential crisis, it is fine, but after solving the existential crisis, it is still regarded as ordinary, muddy, and passable, objectively speaking, such a normal as taken for granted is the biggest abnormality, and it is also the most brainless logic that violates human nature.

It is impossible for a person with a normal mind not to be curious in the face of such a strange experience, nor to ignore it, without any desire and search.

It may be sooner or later to wake up to this problem, but it is inevitable that we will eventually face and think about this problem.

Ponder the meaning of his existence.

At this time, Lee Seung-woo, after waking up to this question in a flash of inspiration, it became inevitable to pursue the answer to this question.

The night is getting deeper.

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

Lee Seung-woo stood up, walked to the windowsill, opened the curtains, and looked out.

The sun was pouring down, the sky was cloudless, and the sky was like a wash.

Lee Seung-woo didn't sleep all night, but he didn't have any fatigue at the moment, and his spirit was high-spirited.

Thinking all night.

Although he has not yet found answers to many questions, he doesn't even know where to start.

But Lee Seung-woo has a kind of excitement to clear the fog and no longer be confused.

After more than two years, the first year he has been solving the problem of survival, has been struggling for wealth and freedom, and has no time to be distracted to think about other things for the time being. But when the wealth is free and there is no problem of survival, on the surface, he seems to have been busy, not troubled, and not confused about life.

But in reality?

As time passed, Lee Seung-woo had gradually become bored and bored.

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

Fame?

The movies in my memory that have been verified by the market in my previous life, although it is not certain that every one of them will inevitably be a box office hit in the parallel world, there is no problem in winning word of mouth without losing money. This is evidenced by the success of previous films.

Status?

Not to mention the wealth and fame that movies can earn him, and when "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and "League of Legends" are developed — and by the way, the investment in BTS at BigHit - the rate at which his wealth and fame will increase is also predictable. In a capitalist country like South Korea, wealth and fame are directly related to status.

Whether it is wealth, fame, or status, when these are all at his fingertips for Lee Seung-woo and there is no difficulty, then what should Lee Seung-woo pursue for the rest of his life?

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

Day by day is just round after round, and there is hardly any difficulty and level, when success becomes no longer cherished, it becomes easy and subservient, and too easy to get only adds to the tedium and uninteresting.

Lee Seung-woo is actually bored by now.

The reason why he previously said to the outside world at the launch conference of "Train to Busan" that he wanted to break through the box office of 10 million was that he mistakenly thought it was just for publicity. But at this time, I think about it, which is for publicity, analyzing the inner desire, in essence, is just to add some difficulty to myself and add some criticism to myself, so as to make the success of this movie more fun.

The text seems to look at the mountains and does not like the flat.

This is true of the article, and the same is true of life.

It's like walking through a prairie or desert as far as the eye can see. No matter how gorgeous the scenery is, once you have been in it for a long time and there is no change, just a repetition of rounds, then all that remains is disgust and annoyance.

It's like work, once it's repeated, it's boring.

Success, too.

So.

Lee Seung-woo was extremely excited at this time.

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

In life, you always have to 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 suddenly sounded.

Lee Seung-woo turned around, walked over to the desk, and picked up his phone.

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

Suddenly, an idea popped into my mind.

There are three human natures, noble life, noble happiness, and noble self. On the other hand, life is actually about contentment, self-control, or detachment from these natures.

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

So......

The ancients said that the stone of the mountain can attack jade.

Since you don't have a clue for the time being, why not get some reference from others.

He provides opportunities to satisfy the other party's desires, perhaps from the other party's choice, it can give him some inspiration, and by the way, it can also confirm whether his summary of human nature is in line with the facts.

So.

Let's start with an experiment on human nature.
