Eternal Burning [MTL] (Completed)

Chapter 9 he's crazy

    One of the most dominant overhead constellations in the autumn night sky in the Northern Hemisphere is the constellation Pegasus. It is composed of several stars of different brightness and size. The four most dazzling ones form a huge quadrilateral, and each side represents a direction. It is a very important signpost constellation in the autumn night sky, also known as the "autumn quadrilateral".

    "Ah, I saw a quadrilateral...but why is it a Pegasus? How does this thing look like a horse?"

    "The Pegasus we saw was turned upside down. The top is the legs, and the bent bottom is the head and neck. "

    I tried my best to describe the appearance of Pegasus to Shang Muxiao, and then found several adjacent constellations and bright stars with the help of the "autumn quadrilateral".

    "That one is Vega, the one below is Altair, and the one in the middle is the Milky Way."

    In addition to countless unsolved mysteries, the starry sky is also full of endless human imagination and extreme romance.

    If he could have told me earlier that he was here to see the stars, I could have brought the star pen in advance. As it is now, I can only make do with what I say, and he make do with it.

    After talking for more than ten minutes, the starry sky above my head has almost finished talking. I stopped talking, just enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of me quietly with Shang Muxiao.

    After a long time, Shang Muxiao suddenly said: "Professor Bei, when you look at the stars, do you feel frustrated by your own insignificance?" He put his hands on the viewing platform built of bricks and stones, looked up at the starry sky, "We Just like a speck of dust in the universe. Appears and disappears. Appears and disappears again. You think you are unique and unique, but in fact, you are no different from all the existences you hate, admire, and despise, and are insignificant...Is it? "

    Thinking back to the first time I used an astronomical telescope to observe the starry sky, I seemed to have had this kind of thought——For the entire universe, human beings are really small and humble existences.

    Perhaps standing under the vast sky, it is hard for people not to think about these things.

    "Do you know the difference between humans and gorillas?"

    Shang Muxiao looked at me with a puzzled expression. Some for me and some for this question.

    "Are you testing me? Humans have rationality, but animals only have intelligence?" No matter how confused he was, he still gave me an answer.

    The night wind on the mountain was a bit cool, I tightened my coat and said: "This is Schopenhauer's point of view. But in Nietzsche's view, there is basically no difference between humans and gorillas in terms of contributions to the world. Only a very few people can surpass With my own animal nature, I can become a 'superman' who truly has value. So you are right, we are all insignificant to this world."

    Hearing this, Shang Muxiao lowered his eyelashes, his face revealing A look that might be called "lonely".

    "But..." The subject changed, and he trembled with his eyelashes, and I continued, "For us living in this world, relatives, friends, colleagues, lovers, every individual is very important. Put it There may be dust in the universe, but in front of our eyes, each one is an extremely precious gemstone, and each one is unique.” It’s just that these gemstones may not belong to us forever.

    I didn't say the last sentence. Although I look pessimistically at everything in the world, I don't force others to be the same as me.

    Young people like Shang Muxiao still have a long way to go in life, and they can slowly explore the survival theory that suits them without being forced by others.
