存在危機三部曲：死亡很難理解 (Trilogy of Existential Crisis: Death is Hard to Understand )
討論對死亡的理解。該如何面對自己的存在危機？目標感對於克服危機至關重要，活著是為了什麼？願意為了什麼而死？
首先，來探討人們對於死亡的恐懼，以及如何接受和探索它。對於死亡的恐懼是人類普遍存在的情感。因為死亡代表著我們生命的終結，而終結之後是一個未知的境地，我們不知道死後會發生什麼。未知讓人感到恐懼。對於死亡的恐懼是人們在聽聞或想像到死亡時所感受到的情緒和心理反應。作為一個不可逆的終極現實，死亡常常引發恐懼感、焦慮和無力感。
然而，面對死亡的恐懼是解決存在危機的重要一步。它可以讓我們正視自己的情感和思想，雖然這可能需要勇氣和心理準備。面對恐懼可以幫助我們深入思考死亡的意義，並找到心理上的釋放。
面對死亡時，我們是否能感受到享受過程的感覺？在這個有限的生命期間，我們應該如何把握？我們應該如何在其中獲得經驗值？我們應該如何享受這個活動？我期待著在這個活動的最終結算中，能夠取得怎樣的成績？我是否會出現在排行榜上？還是我會滿足地認為，這真是一場精彩的活動？
或許有人會認為，這只是遊戲，營運商做得好，但可能有人在活動進行到一半時就感到無聊，覺得為什麼要繼續玩呢？這遊戲太爛了！無論如何，我們都必須面對生命是有限的事實，生命有期限，死亡終究會到來。作為這個生命期間限定的活動，你應該如何去遊玩？你應該如何在這個活動中花費時間？
有些人可能一生都在逃避這種恐懼，但如果有一天你面對它，你會發現它終究會到來，而且可能比我們想像的更接近。我自己在生命的關鍵時刻多次意識到這一點，有一次是在湖中差點窒息，有一次是在家中差點引發火災，我真的開始思考，如果我在這個年紀就離開這個世界，那在最後幾秒鐘，我會有什麼樣的心情？我會感到滿足，認為我已經做了我想做的事情了嗎？還是會後悔沒有說出某些話？還是會感到解脫？是哪一種感覺呢？
多次經歷後，我的結論是，我還沒有玩夠。
將生命視為遊戲，社會化也是遊戲的一部分。還有很多領域可以探索、深造，我想要在社會中自如地與人交往，穿梭在人群中。我覺得我還沒有達到那種狀態，所以我對於仍然活著感到真好。
接受死亡是一個逐漸而深入的過程，代表著理解生命的有限性和終結。面對這種認知，我們應該如何賦予生活更大的價值？珍惜當下、活在當下，這是老生常談，誰都會說，不只是知道死亡隨時可能發生，就像我們常看到那些勵志的生命故事，有人在身體健康檢查時發現罹患重病，只剩下三個月可以活，他們會認識到「我應該要好好把握我的人生！」這種感覺可想而知。這是因為原本以為還有三十年、六十年甚至更多年的時間，人們常常覺得活著就是為了遙遠的未來。
但事實上，人的意識往往在面臨死亡時才會覺得現在才是活在當下。我覺得人生只是在消耗時間、處於一種肉體存在的狀態，那我們就是殭屍。我們只是追逐那些發出聲音、光芒的事物，追逐社會運動、追逐名人的好壞、追逐節日慶祝的地方、追逐好吃的東西。但這樣有什麼不好呢？這是我的想法，既來之，則安之。總要走的，因為死亡限制了生命，反而在某種程度上提升了生命的價值。
在死亡之後，我們到底去了哪裡？存在和不存在對個人、他人、社會和世界有何不同？在這個思考過程中，我們會逐漸挖掘出自己對死亡的觀點和心理反應，從而更深入地了解自己。換句話說，死亡的存在可以激發我們對生命意義的探索，我們仍然渴望與他人互動。即使我們整天沉浸在消費品中，如果看到網路上有人討論某事，我們仍然想要表達自己的意見，以展現自己的閱讀量和觀點。這是因為我們想要貢獻，想要社會化。不只是單純地接收資訊，人們為什麼想要產生輸出呢？我認為這是想要與他人互動的一種表現方式。
無論你是在尋找快樂的方式、探索生命的意義，還是思考為什麼不去死，這個探尋的過程本身就是有價值的。
我希望自己在這個思考和探尋的過程中能夠獲得豐富的經驗和成長，並找到屬於自己的快樂、意義和目標感。找到為什麼而活，並願意為了什麼而死。祝我們都能在這個過程中開心快樂。

Discussing the understanding of death. How to face one’s existential crisis? A sense of purpose is crucial to overcoming the crisis. What are we living for? What are we willing to die for?
Firstly, let’s explore people’s fear of death and how to accept and explore it. The fear of death is a universal emotion among humans. Death signifies the end of our lives, and what comes after is an unknown realm. The unknown instills fear in us. The fear of death is the emotional and psychological response people experience when hearing or imagining death. As an irreversible and ultimate reality, death often triggers feelings of fear, anxiety, and powerlessness.
However, confronting the fear of death is an important step in resolving the existential crisis. It allows us to confront our emotions and thoughts, although it may require courage and psychological preparation. Facing fear can help us delve deeper into the meaning of death and find psychological release.
When facing death, can we feel the sense of enjoyment in the process? How should we seize the limited time in this life? How can we gain experience from it? How can we enjoy this endeavor? I look forward to what kind of achievements I can attain in the final outcome of this endeavor. Will I appear on the leaderboard, or will I be satisfied thinking that it was a remarkable activity?
Some may consider this as just a game, and the game developer did a good job. However, there might be individuals who feel bored halfway through the game and question why they should continue playing. They may think the game is terrible! Nevertheless, we must face the fact that life is finite, with a deadline and death will ultimately come. As a limited-time activity in this lifespan, how should you approach playing it? How should you spend your time in this activity?
Some people may spend their entire lives avoiding this fear. But if one day you confront it, you will realize that it will eventually arrive, and perhaps closer than we imagine. I personally have become aware of this point in critical moments of my life, such as almost suffocating in a lake or nearly causing a fire at home. I began to contemplate what my emotions would be like in those final seconds if I were to leave this world at that age. Would I feel content, thinking I had done what I wanted to do? Would I have regrets about unsaid words? Or would I feel a sense of liberation? Which feeling would it be?
After experiencing these situations multiple times, my conclusion is that I haven’t played enough.
Viewing life as a game, socialization is also part of the game. There are still many fields to explore and learn from. I aspire to interact with others in society effortlessly, navigating through crowds. I feel that I haven’t reached that state yet, which is why I feel grateful for still being alive.
Accepting death is a gradual and profound process, representing an understanding of life’s limits and its end. Faced with this realization, how can we bestow greater value upon life? Cherishing the present moment and living in the now, it’s a cliché, but everyone says it. Not just knowing that death can happen at any time, as we often witness in inspirational life stories where someone discovers a serious illness during a health check and has only three months to live. They realize, “I should make the most of my life!” We thought they had thirty years, sixty years, or even more.
However, in reality, people’s consciousness often realizes they are truly living in the present only when facing death. I believe that life is merely consuming time, existing in a state of physicality, and thus, we are like zombies. We only chase after things that emit sounds and radiance, pursuing social movements, judging celebrities, seeking places to celebrate holidays, and pursuing delicious food. But what’s wrong with that? This is my perspective — accepting what comes, finding peace in it. We all have to depart because death limits life, ultimately enhancing its value to some extent.
What happens to us after death? How does existence differ from nonexistence for individuals, others, society, and the world? In this process of contemplation, we gradually uncover our own views and psychological responses to death, thus gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves. In other words, the existence of death can inspire us to explore the meaning of life, and we still yearn for social interaction. Even if we immerse ourselves in consumerism all day long, when we see someone discussing something online, we still want to express our opinions to showcase our reading and perspectives. This is because we want to contribute and socialize. It’s not just about receiving information. Why do people want to produce output? I believe it’s a way of expressing the desire to interact with others.
Whether you are searching for happiness, exploring the meaning of life, or pondering why not to die, this process of exploration itself is valuable.
I hope that in this process of contemplation and exploration, we can gain rich experiences and personal growth, and find our own happiness, meaning, and sense of purpose. Discovering why we live and being willing to die for something. Wishing that we all find joy and happiness in this journey.
