Human patience is limited, and even cultivators cannot avoid this person's nature. Therefore, it is not feasible for Zhao Chaogang to use his power to attract warriors to constantly invest their energy in practicing martial arts.

Money, beauty, and strength are not feasible, so what is feasible? Soon, Zhao Chaogang found this feasible thing, so what is this thing?

It's very simple, this thing is the life span of a person.

People's pursuit of longevity is not only male or female, some noble or low, some old or young, whether it is a man or a woman, beggar or the world's richest man, their pursuit of longevity is the same.

The reason why people keep pursuing longevity, whether they are emperors or beggars, is very simple, that is, people's fear of death.

So why do people fear death? In a word: People’s fear of death comes from people’s weakness of the pain of unknowns.

Because no one has died, and those who have died cannot convey the experience and feelings of death, death is always unknown to people, and people's fear comes from the unknown of things. Therefore, whether it is the pain before death or the pain after death, it is an unknown pain. This unknown pain leads to the eternal fear of death of mankind.

There are several reasons why people are afraid of death:

1. Survival instinct

Survival is the most primitive instinct of our human body. It will inform people of pain when they are in crisis and avoid them with fear when they are in danger. This is a signal to avoid threats to life and notify people of improving the body. Death is naturally the greatest threat to life, which means the end of life. Therefore, the instinct of survival makes people fear death.

2. Feeling fear of "known" and "unknown"

"Known" fear is a sense of fear caused by the consequences of events that people see, hear or feel. "Unknown" fear is a fear caused by people because they do not know what will happen or what will happen to the outcome of events. Because everything is unknown, people feel fear of death.

3. Reluctance and unwillingness in life

Faced with death, people have a lot of reluctance to real life and are unwilling to realize their ideals. This is why terminally ill patients are not yet at the age of end of their lives. They can still have time to continue to create their own lives and realize their values ​​and ideals, but they have to say goodbye to all of this in the near future. Such reluctance and reluctance are something that no one wants to face, and no one wants to experience it personally. Therefore, they are afraid of death, or more accurately, they do not want to die.

It can be seen that facing death is really a very terrible thing, so many elderly people choose to avoid it when facing it. For the elderly with terminal illness, they are in a cruel torture with three reasons intertwined with each other. We should understand and help them.

Modern psychologists have found that the biggest difference between humans and animals is that people will be afraid of things that do not exist - they themselves are also surprised by this phenomenon because they do not know where this fear comes from. Exploring this problem is very meaningful, and it can touch the secret passages of the mind more effectively than we can explore a work.

According to the British theologian James-Sride, “Many fears come from our incomprehension of the world we live in. They come from the control of this world.” “In order to achieve a perfect life, the first thing we need to do is to gain the power to control fear.”

In modern society, fear is increasingly tormenting us, to the point where everyone cannot avoid it. Mai Erci, a British poet and essayist in the 19th century, said that he would ask the question: "Is the universe friendly to humans?" The unsolved question has troubled many people who are self-reliant and makes people feel the impermanence of the world.

It is precisely because of the finiteness and insignificance of human beings, which is too great compared to the unfathomable difference between the universe and the world. This makes people fear many things that cannot be understood.

For example, until today, many people childishly believe that the numbers "four" and "thirteen" will bring them ominous. It can be seen how fragile and helpless people are in the face of the impermanence of the world.

There are many specific things that threaten human survival and make people fear.

For example, suffering, or mental trauma, is everywhere in our lives, not to mention the bloody and dark passages in human history. That is, now, the mind is poor, the emotions are decadent, and love is moving towards. The noble spirit is retreating in the secular life, the violence is increasing, the ubiquitous nuclear threat, etc., which have pushed mankind to the brink of danger.

This world of problems is not something humans can easily bear.

Ni——The "superman" predicted by Cai was not born, but modern people bear the burden that only "superman" can bear, which is why they are afraid and despair.

Let's recall the Atlas in classical mythology! He can carry the world on his shoulders and walk on Mount Atlas on the North African coast. It's not difficult for him to do this because he is Atlas! But if he put this world on our shoulders, we will be crushed immediately because we are just ordinary people and cannot bear this burden.

The same is true for mental problems.

Since the Renaissance, people have been established as the center of the universe. The ultimate existence of people begin to be responsible for their own survival. This is like carrying the world on Atlas's shoulders on people's shoulders and will eventually be crushed.-

People have to pay the price for themselves, just as Judah killed Sale, Jesus of the Less had to pay the price of the concentration-camp, and everyone can be said to be paying the price.

The setbacks that exist again and again put the severity of survival in front of everyone.

In the Freudian era, humans only suffered sexual frustrations, but now they have become survival frustrations, which seem even more serious.

This is how the tragedy may begin: as a limited being, people are simply unable to bear everything for themselves.

Now recalling the ancient saints kneeling before God to pray, they can confide all the troubles, pains and misfortunes in their hearts to the Supreme One, tears of sadness can flow to him, and the unbearable burden of survival can be entrusted to him. How happy it is!

However, in the 20th century, humans chose the path of self-bearing, and thus abandoned the divine faith and besides the self-pity of human beings, who will comfort us?

When we read the letters written by Van Gogh to his lover, we feel that this lonely painter needs love and comfort in that way;

The master of Cubist painting, Bi Gaso, used three-dimensional painting throughout his life to abstract people into lines and squares, but he drew his wife and lovers full of humanity, which shows that Bi Gaso hopes to find comfort in the portraits of these lovers;

In his letter to his lover, Freud said: "Little princess, when you come to me, please love me irrationally!" This shows that Freud also longs for comfort in love, but it is terrible for him to say such words.

Freud believed that sex was the ultimate goal of everything, and he did not theoretically believe that there was love. Because as a person, there was an original desire for true love, which would curse Freud's sexual-centered thought. When he said the sentence "Please love me irrationally", the impact he suffered in could probably be described as fear and trembling.

The examples of Van Gogh, Bigasso, and Floyd point out a common fact: people are separated from themselves, that is, the separation of existence and essence. As Kafka said, what I say is different from what I think. What I think is different from what I am willing to think.

These separation facts have caused Van Gogh, Bigaso, Kafka, Vloyd and others to be deeply trapped in fear and despair, and they cannot make themselves the kind of person they want to be.

What’s more serious is that the cultural environment in which everyone lives seems to be a huge cocoon, imprisoning themselves in it.

This cocoon not only causes people to not only fail to communicate smoothly with others, but also become alienated from their communication with themselves.

The impossible communication (not communication in the general sense, but communication between personality) is that everyone's me has become a lonely me. Loneliness, true loneliness.

Looking back at Ann-Dong-Ni O-Ni's movie "Let's Big", the whole film is full of sounds of camera shutters, with almost no dialogue. Even the irrational performance scenes of the models, there is no hint of communication. Finally, on the tennis court, a man wearing a mask plays tennis alone without an opponent. At this time, the camera keeps moving away, and the people in the picture keep shrinking until there is an empty court left.

Like Anton Nio-Ni's other film "Red-Color-Sand-Desert", this movie fully expresses the loneliness, indifference, and empty scenes of modern people without communication and comfort. The film masters of the same period, Fey-Ni and Ing-Ge-Marber-Ge-Mann, almost all expressed this theme to reveal the universal spiritual dilemma of mankind.

People appear in the artist's vision in this way, and it must contain the artist's deep fear of the world and people themselves.

"There is no more distressing emotion than fear; fear makes us painful and makes us despise in our own eyes."

Meng Tianze said: "Fear is even more abomination and more unbearable than death itself." Here, fear means the loss of dignity.

When Ka-Fu-Ka writes about the little animal pricking up her ears and listening nervously to the movement outside the cave, he has already walked into the abyss of loneliness and fear.

Ying Ge Maber Geman finished filming the famous film "Sun Silence" in 1962 and said that he discovered an important fact: God is no longer there, and now the world only has silence. In the face of this fact, Bergeman was very scared.

Afterwards, he told reporters that he finished the script "Shen Silencing" while listening to Bach's music.

I think Bergmann is using Bach's music to resist his inner fear.

Let us recall Coppola's famous film "Modern-Revelation" again. "I" walks on a river that seems to be endless, and is increasingly afraid of the facts to be faced. When "I" see the officer hiding in the forest and refuses to fight (played by Ma Longbai-Landu), fear drives "I" to raise my knife to chop at the officer, hoping to relieve the inner pressure. At this time, there is only the officer in the picture rolling in pain in the pool of blood, and his low and desperate cry: "Fear! Fear!" In this. Coppola allows us to see how much war has hurt human nature.

Fear, it is deeper than fear.

Fear is to face a specific object. Fear is like anxiety, it may be that there is no specific object and endless.

Being attacked (like a tiger pounces at you) will be scared, but mental damage will cause fear, which will eventually lead to despair.

Fear is present, fear can occur in the future and unknown things. So, how does fear happen or why people are afraid

A pig is going to be killed at night. It can still eat happily at noon, but people cannot do this because people will worry about future events.

If there is no security in the future, no happiness brought by comfort, and no communication between personality, a person will not be able to find a suitable position for his own existence. Once he steps out of the position of existence, anything may pose a threat to him.

Without a greater protector, one is unreliable. Where does comfort come from? People raise themselves to the center of the universe, but they cannot dominate their own destiny. In the face of such a serious situation of survival, fear is inevitable.

Before exploring the causes of fear, let’s first talk about what the basic form of fear is.

Fear has many aspects. But in summary, there are roughly three forms:

1. Be afraid of unpersonal things;

2. Fear of the fact that “no existence”;

3. Fear of death.

Maybe we can think of some other forms of fear, but the above three actually cover most types of fear.

The intensity of fear is also different, some are weaker, some are strong enough to lead to despair, and some are in between.

Many modern people have experienced this terrible darkness and thus emitted a philosophy of despair. Fear is also characterized by tremor. He shows that people have endured things that they can bear, so that they have a sense of security and lose their support in their psychological actions.

In the face of existential threats, people need a greater protector.

Why do people feel fear of "unpersonal things"? The reason is that since everyone's self has become a cocoon and seals himself with others, people can no longer understand existence outside themselves. They ignore the sacred existence and no longer imagine the perfection in human existence.

In fact, human beings are open-minded and they desire to unite with higher beings to make up for their own shortcomings. Therefore, the East has the idea of ​​"harmony between man and nature", and the West has the revelation of "the harmony between gods and man".

Ancient Chinese emphasized that "man" must be unified, coordinated, consistent, and harmonious with "heaven". The so-called "heaven and earth, praise and cultivate" is called "heaven", but there is no sacred reality in Chinese thought that corresponds to "heaven". "Heaven" seems very empty, and ultimately understands "harmony between man and nature" as "natural humanization", and the result is "man", not "heaven";

The "Heaven" in Western thought is God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit who gives life. "God and man are in harmony" refers to the encounter between the divine nature of the Triune God and the human nature it saves in time. It is the two natures of God and man. It is represented by Jesus Christ who is "incarnated". The ultimate unity is unity in "Heaven" (God)--"New Heaven, New Earth, New Jerusalem".

Now, in this blasphemous materialist era, the East and the West no longer worship "heaven", but instead pursue local things enthusiastically, and human existence is completely closed to divine existence.

This kind of closure of existence makes people start to know themselves from a human standpoint, just like wearing an eye mask.

As a result, the more modern people know their own human nature, the more they find it difficult to identify and have no meaning, so they begin to fear people's "unpersonal" things, and their fear makes sense.

This is why the more modern artists want to know people, the less people have a status in their works.

In fact, the famous saying in ancient Greece "Know yourself" originally meant "Remember: You will die!" However, modern people misunderstood this sentence.

There is an example that might illustrate the problem.

Children are usually afraid to be left alone in a dark and "unpersonal" room. No matter how people comfort him, they will be useless. However, in Western countries with Christian traditions, parents will say to their children: "Don't be afraid, because God is here."

This is a simple and wonderful truth. Because of the person and the infinite, God who is now and then and then is real, people with personality do not need to be afraid of "unpersonal" things anymore.

Many psychologists use this method to show the appearance of companionship and belief in "God's existence" in a pragmatic manner, but it can help the sick to some extent.

Carl Jung often told his sick patients that in all life, he could deal with psychological fears.

Eight days before Jung's death, he spoke on his last visit to him about what he thought of God as: "anything that cuts into my will from outside me, or something that emerges from my collective subconscious." His suggestion is to call it "God" for the time being and surrender to "Hi".

Why can Jung heal many people in this way? Because the existence of God eliminates the fear of "unpersonal things" in people's hearts, it is too real.

The second basic fear is for the "nothing".

Why are there many people today who are afraid of "not existed"? Since it does not exist, what should they use to cause fear? Because modern people generally do not know the origin and end of all things. They do not know where they come from. The unpredictable doctrines and existence themselves make them feel at a loss.

Moreover, most modern people believe that all things, the world, and people are created by chance and opportunity, which denies necessity and dominance, which will naturally bring chaos in cognition.

Since everything is accidental, everything has infinite possibilities: what exists may become non-existent at one moment, and what does not exist may become existence at another moment. How can there be a sense of security? Existence is also meaningless because it lacks a foundation that is still meaningless. People will naturally be afraid of "not exist".
