A friend told me the story
1. The feeling of drowning is the most painful feeling
According to rumors, waterboarding is a widely used criminal law, the tools of criminal law are very simple, only a bucket of water and a towel, wet the towel and put it on the face of the prisoner, and pour the water down again and again, so that the prisoner has a sense of suffocation that is about to be drowned, in the face of the process of fear, normal people can not deal with it calmly, the fear of death and the unknown is the immutable gene of human beings, many people do not want to die, even if they can see it, it is impossible to escape the genetic memory, according to the oral description of the Vietnam War participants, People die with an expression of disbelief – that is, confusion, and in many cases, they have already died in confusion before they have time to let fear spread, and life is full of impermanence.
The cause of the First World War is attributed to a three-yin rule, before the start of the First World War, Sarajevo, the killer failed in the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand for the first time, so he decided to go to the restaurant and order a three-yin treatment to satisfy his hunger, halfway through the meal, because the driver recognized the wrong way, Archduke Ferdinand actually appeared on the street in front of the restaurant, the killer seized the opportunity to leave the uneaten three-yin rule and shoot the Grand Duke, the First World War broke out, like a butterfly effect, the seemingly absurd facts cast amazing consequences, Fear and confusion often lead to many difficult stories, but when greedy thoughts prevail, fear and confusion overwhelm this feeling, which means that everyone deserves to be waterboarded. (laughs)
2. The story of the meeting
Everything is submerged in the vortex of time, like a comet, as if it had never appeared.
The wind and sand blew, everyone in the conference room had lost their flesh and blood, I woke up from the dream, time did not stop, but the crowd had stopped moving, the voice in the microphone kept echoing, I could hear all the words in it, but I could not understand the content of the words combined, the air was filled with the smell of saltpeter, it seemed that there was the smell of tobacco burning not far away, I don't know if I was lost in the sea of the world, or if time was lost in my sea.
Suddenly I pulled out my lighter and lit the saltpeter in the air, but the air was not burning, it was my body that burned, and I gazed at the ceiling full of lights in the center of the world, staring carefully at the unlit darkness in the middle of the light, and I seemed to be caught in it, and I remembered the favorite song of the children, "Isn't the Hero in the Dark?" ”
3. The story of the octopus
Octopuses are the most intelligent invertebrates known to the world.
In the Cthulhu Mythos, Cthulhu is a higher creature with an octopus-like head.
I've seen people raise octopuses, and they're amazing creatures, at first the size of a man's thumb, and like most sea creatures, they have a natural resistance to unknown creatures, humans.
When the food is thrown down, they will only decide to swallow it when they are sure that there is not much danger, and as time goes by, the octopus begins to get used to receiving human food, and his body begins to grow, starting with crayfish and river crabs, and gradually the size of the prey he needs begins to increase, and it seems that every day witnesses the miracle of evolution, I watched him swallow a pike crab, and saw him swallow a whole Boston lobster, leaving behind the carapace of the corpse, like the most primitive trophy symbol of human killing enemiesAs his body grew, he seemed to have awakened his territorial consciousness as well, and unlike most creatures in the ocean, he began to build fortresses that occupied his own self, perhaps "home".
I had never seen them in groups, and all this made me very curious, he began to entrench himself in the fortress for a long time like a king, and began to attack in the face of threats and prey, and there were no other creatures in the fortress, only the corpses of the enemy, the leftover wreckage, and whenever a period of time passed, he seemed to start to dislike these bones, and would sweep them out, even if the fortress that contained him had begun to be devastated by the collision caused by the removal of the wreckage, after all, it was only a clay pot in the human world. I always thought he would live like this until he died, until I found out that he began to keep escaping from the tank, tried again and again, he got the water into the sky, wanted to completely clean out the water that contained him, the water that sustained him, and began to desperately impact the tank that seemed to imprison him, and finally he began to discover that the tank was a cage that could be turned out, and he began a formal escape plan, the first time he arrived on the balcony, the second time he arrived in the bathroom, the third time he arrived in the living room, Of course, the fate of being sent back to the tank was inevitable every time, and the fourth time he finally collapsed under the keeper's bed, dehydrated and died.
At that time, I suddenly confessed that this intelligent animal could not be kept in captivity, and he continued to find his own meaning as he grew in size, and after trying again and again to no avail, he began to despair, as if he was thinking too much to share his pain, Romain Rolland said, "There is only one true heroism in the world, and that is to love life after recognizing the truth of life." Perhaps this is the difference between octopuses and humans, who ultimately chose to lose their body water and chose not to be an octopus, or perhaps he hoped that he could become another creature.
