"Charity" and " Deeds"
Author :Chang Kai-Chi 張開基" Charity " is one of the most important virtues of mankind; it includes donation, assistance, relief, and convenience. Functionally, it helps the poor, relieves the pain, and even save lives. In the human society, it is absolutely necessary to harmonize (because we are all "social people"). " Charity " are different from " Deeds"; " Deeds " cover a wider range includes "Charity"; " Deeds " refer to: a legitimate act and a normalized life. But one of the prerequisites is " correct concept in the daily life." Because all our good and bad behaviors come from the concept and the right one will have normalized life and proper behavior. On the contrary, if the concept is wrong or biased, it will lead to improper behavior or abnormal life. "Charity" are a very important part of "charity" but it usually occurs after the remedy or "aftercare". “Charity" can be timely and appropriate because of the correct "Deed" direction. "Deeds" are also more peripheral because of the "Charity". However, the "Charity" alone cannot replace all the "Deeds". It is like prevention is more important than treatment. Especially in the case of large-scale epidemics, it better pursues precautions and vaccines in advance. "Deeds" are prepared as far as possible beforehand. Maybe there will not be any bad pools. However, the correct concept and proper behavior will greatly reduce the chances of the bad pool. Relatively reduced, or even no remedy at all. For example, like the severe flood disasters caused by the typhoon Morakot last time-- in the moment of national sorrow, it also reveals the incomparable love of the people of Taiwan. The enthusiasm for everyone was really worthy of the world. Learn and admire! However, if there were sufficient "good deeds" beforehand such as: First, we must understand the changes in nature and pragmatic practices, choose the right way to get along with human behavior, do not force confrontation, do not occupy river flow territory, do not rely too much on the river bank, etc. But The rules of thumb that are no over self-confident in humans and do not try to conquer the nature. The loss of life and property may still unpreventable. But at least it will not be so heavy as it is now that the whole country can't afford it! Don't neglect the power of nature's wrath (more accurate weather forecast, don't underestimate the power of natural disasters), don't be superstitious about the blessing from God or Buddha, don't be too confident in the short-term rule of thumb that is not long enough in the past, don't over-believe that "people will win the nature, Don't over-rely on the government's construction quality. The first priority in life is to learn how to "self-protect" (because more importantly, we are all "living people in nature"). There is not enough "Deeds". It is not the right way to rely on the public who "provide Charity" so could remedy afterwards. It is usually not the efficient way, and it is usually a solution, especially the loss of human life. How action should we take? As a "natural person", deed is just a matter of doing what you want. As long as you have the ability to do it, you should work hard to do it. There is no need to emphasize or publicize it. It is even more unrelated to merits and deeds. That is trading behavior, still at the level of ignorance and superstition. As a "natural person", you should be intelligent in doing "Deeds". You must have a moral standard that transcends the world, a higher intelligence and behavior than "Charity"; then you can live in harmony with nature.

Permanence and Impermanence
Author :Chang Kai-Chi 張開基
Sakyamuni said: " all conditioned phenomena are impermanent." Basically this concept is correct because everything in the natural universe constantly changes and nothing is permanent and it is "dynamic" universe. "Rotating balance" is the basic phenomenon between the universe such as nebula and the galaxy is gyro-like balanced by fast spinning. Therefore, "changing" and "impermanence" are the truth and reality. It is very important to understand this because emotionally lament about "the impermanence of the world" is foolish. In addition, "time" is a main factor for "impermanence". If there is no transition, there is no such thing as "permanence" and "impermanence". Simply put, to divide the time into sectional period, then we could observe everything in the world via “time unit”. Everything can't last forever or even stay for a long period of time so the term as “impermanence” was brought forward. In fact, "permanence" and "impermanence" are not phenomena that are completely objective and relative, but each depends on their own conditions. For example: There is a breakfast shop that you frequent visits for twenty or thirty years and you and the owner are also very familiar with each other. He knows your taste very well, so you will go there for breakfast for almost 3 or 4 days a week. However, one night the nearby store accidentally caught fire and affected the breakfast shop. The shop was destroyed with nothing left. From then on, you can no longer go to the familiar place to enjoy breakfast. So you will sigh: "The world is impermanent!" A classmate in class, who is good at learning and being funny as a barrel of laughs classmate. However, one day when he was on the way to school riding a bicycle but accidently hit by drunken driver. Of course, such a tragedy will always shock everyone and people sadly feel that "life is impermanent!" Overall, these are the conditions that must be created by the time factor to highlight the "impermanence." Let's go deeper into some of the so-called "conditional comparisons"; First, "The Balkans had a complex ethnic group and also listed as the transportation hub of Eurasia. Therefore, they have been called the gunpowder warehouse in Europe since ancient times. There were frequent wars." This frequency refers to centuries. Second, "Indonesia is the region with the most frequent volcanic density and activity in the world. Active volcanoes are erupting from time to time, and frequent large-scale volcanic eruptions often occur." This frequency often refers to decades. Third, the Rocky Mountains in California, USA, because of the burning of Santa Ana foehn wind, often causes serious forest fires and loss of life and property----"This "usually" refers to years about couple to ten years. Fourthly, "the upstream of this river is so geological unsteady caused by the explosion of mountain torrents----" "often" refers to the typhoon season about several timed per year or couple years per once. Fifth, "A friend told you: The public swimming pool near your home is good. I often go for morning swimming----" This public swimming pool was built for about 4 or 5 years, so the term "often" refers to the frequency happened within these 4 to 5 years. Sixth, "The big store has a lot of things, the price is cheap. I often go to buy daily necessities----" The hypermarket opened less than a year, so the "often" here means less than one year duration. Seventh, "For health, I recently started going to the morning jogging and had run for ten days. Some of my co-workers will also say good morning to each other. People say: I have seen you recently no matter it was rainy or shiny.----" It refers thisjogging within ten days. Eighth, "Husband went on a business trip and called his wife: I had a headache with a running nose recently, very uncomfortable!" It turned out that he had a cold in these days----this often means between 3 and 4 days. The frequency of things that happen from a few hundred years to a few days is not the same. However, we still adopt the term "frequently", which means "often". Then a breakfast shop opened over 10 years and because the fire incident-- we said that "the world is impermanent." A young student rode a bicycle for nearly ten years to go to school and was killed by a truck. We lamented that "life is impermanent “comparing with the couple days "frequent headache or nasal water", etc. So What is the "permanence" and the "impermanence"? In fact, this is a comparative problem. For example: if an egg is the same size as a table tennis, we will feel wonderfully: Wow! Very small! However, when a diamond is the same size as a table tennis, we can't help but exclaim: Wow! It is so huge! Why both are as big as table tennis and we feel the differences from each other? Mainly the focus is not on table tennis, but on the standard of "normal". The eggs with the same size as table tennis are of course smaller than the common eggs and a table tennis-sized diamond is certainly more common. The diamond between 2 carats is too big. Therefore, the same, "impermanence" is compared with similar things or phenomena, not with irrelevant phenomena. So "impermanence" is basically not objective, it is still only subjective and is a definition after relative comparison. So we cannot define what is meant by "objective impermanence", only we are "subjectively perceived impermanence"! The key point is about "Time." Only in the mechanism of time has the relative existence of "permanence" and "impermanence". However, the so-called "permanence" cannot be said to be constant. It can only be said to be long-lasting phenomenon because since it is a relative world with a time mechanism. We should not arbitrarily say "eternal"! The same reason can be proved: Sakyamuni’s so-called "all conditioned phenomena are impermanent " refers to a phenomenon in the relative world with a time mechanism. It does not cover the entire universe. If the whole ontology of the universe is expanded, Sakyamuni's so-called "fables" arguments may not be applicable in one piece. Of course, it is even more impossible to be the ultimate truth of the universe. Conclusion: Therefore, "permanence" and "impermanence" are not so absolute, and sometimes quite subjective. We only need to understand that "impermanence" is a common phenomenon in time mechanism during our daily life. We are actually living in an impermanent change that is "often" or "universal normal" but not very obvious. Even if it is realistic, the vast majority of people in the world call "the daily life" in the normal state that we are used for thinking. For example, when we go out, we will take the key, because when we go home, we open the door to use it, but not always sign: "This world is impermanent. Maybe when I go home, my house may have disappeared without any reason, so why bother with the key? ". Even through in the world, some governments sell state-owned houses that only the right to use does not include ownership. But at least the right to use will be set at 50 or 70 years, and will not only sell the right to use for 1 week or 1 month. So the average person buys a house at least hoping to live for a lifetime. In addition, before going to bed every day, we will prepare clothing, school bags or briefcases. Since there is no holiday tomorrow, students have to go to school, and the salary class has to go to work. Therefore, the routine work that is used will still get prepared and not because of "the impermanence of the world." Our modern homes have refrigerators for storing whole family food for a few days to about a week. Other cabinets also have canned foods and instant noodles that do not need to be refrigerated so whole family could consume every day. We will never quit using it because of " Life is impermanent” and not prepared to store food. A car locomotive, the driver's license valid period is more than a few years and not because there are deaths and car accidents every day, so the driver's license is only valid on the daily basis. The Chinese old saying "saving against a rainy day " are the most positive and optimistic response to "the impermanence of life and the world”. People understand "impermanence" in the normal life and have a sense of crisis in peace of mind. Prepare for the situation to face unexpected situations to avoid being caught by surprise. Some areas, when there are old people in the family, the coffin is prepared early and placed in the attic or storage room at home. There is no fear or ominous thought. The preparation for this pre-work is a “normal mode”. Do you guard against "impermanence" in your life? Therefore, most of the time we are living in the normal state and we adapt to it. Only follow this principles, everything will be lawful and feasible. Instead if people adopt the concept as "the world is impermanent" and prepare nothing-- it is ridiculous to wait for surprising things might happen any moment. To live at a normal pace, prepare for the "impermanence" and as long as the accident is still controllable, we do not need to lament the "life impermanence”. Although we do live in the "variable" natural universe, we live by "normality", not by "impermanence" as a norm.

Eternal Truth?
Author :Chang Kai-Chi 張開基Many people believe that in this universe we live in, there must be "eternal truth." However, no one has ever found it (note: except for madmen and scammers). This is also a major issue that all philosophers and religious figures have been pursuing since ancient times. Is there any so-called "eternal truth"? Then it depends on what is the definition of the so-called "truth"? If it refers to the "natural law," it must exist. If it refers to "the meaning of the existence of the universe" and "the meaning of human existence in the universe", then the answer is not necessarily "inevitable." However, human beings are a special species that is naturally curious. In any case, there are always many people who are desperately searching for and thinking about it. Accordingly, there are two words, we must define clearly; otherwise, once confused, there will be serious fallacies: One is "everlasting truth" (or "truth is everlasting").The second is "eternal truth" (or "truth is eternal")"Everlasting truth" is possible and very likely. However, "eternal truth" is wrong, at least in the universe we know so far; it does not exist. why? Because we know that "the universe we live in" is a "perpetual motion" state, and all things are always "changing", so there is no constant thing, and therefore there will be no "unchanged truth." Not to mention "the eternal truth." I once said: all the objects in this universe are in a kind of "dynamic balance", look at the operation of the planet; you can see the rising sun and the moon on the earth, you can see the eight planets around the sun, in They operate in their own orbits, and the entire solar system is on the periphery of the "Galaxy" spiral orbits. It is also traveling around the center of the "Galaxy", and the "Galaxy" is also moving continuously. As for whether or not it is around the center of the universe, there is no exact Conclusion? I used to use "cycling" as an example. Once I can skillfully ride a bicycle and go out, it is impossible to "statically balance" the two wheels. Therefore, we must keep moving forward and rely on the pedals to push the car forward. Moreover, it is necessary to rely on the adjustment posture of the front, rear, left and right of the body to grasp the center of gravity, and adjust the left and right fine adjustment of the handle (faucet), so that in the "dynamic balance" state of interaction between the person and the car, the vehicle can be advanced at the same time without falling. Therefore, when riding a bicycle, the normal state is always in the "dynamic balance", so it is impossible to have "long-term stillness and balance". After training, it may occasionally "maintain a short-lived state". However, no one can maintain the "eternal still" state. Similarly, in this "dynamic balance" universe, everything is "changing from time to time", so if the universe is beginning-less and endless, then the so-called "everlasting truth" should be very likely to exist. However, it must be "the truth of the permanent state of change", and it is impossible to be "the eternal truth"! This point, in fact, the Chinese ancestors have long been clear, this is the famous "Book of Changes--Yi" in China and abroad. What is "Yi"? It is "simple, changing, and permanent" how to explain? It is the ancient Chinese sages who have simplified the universe and turned it into sixty-four very simple "symbols"; so it is called "Yi". However, don't look at the simple symbol, but it can produce countless combinations of changes because of "minor transmutation" and "Major transmutation", so it is also called "changes". This is the true state of everything in the universe, that is, it is constantly changing. And "the real state of changes at any moment” is "the everlasting truth of the universe" ("not static", note; "not static" does not mean "eternal change", but means "the permanently and continuously momentary change is the normal state of the universe").
Therefore, in the nature of the universe, only the "normal state of eternal change" will never have the "normal state of eternal stillness", and therefore there will only be the possibility of the existence of "the everlasting change of truth", without "eternal truth"! Therefore, anyone who intends to pursue the "everlasting truth" must first understand the characteristics of the universe. Otherwise, if they do not know that "the universe is perpetual," and they desperately want to pursue "the eternal truth". So the most representative person is the self-declared "enlightened Buddha", who is already familiar with all the truths of the universe, the saint of India, "Sakyamuni". He believes that "silent nirvana" is the ultimate in life. Pursue the goal and practice the highest level of the stillness, that is, the so-called "cool and quiet, no annoyed, no bitterness and eternal silence; there is no immortality, no filthy, no spotless, no adding, no diminishing, no birth, no adhesion, "Permanent steady state" or "eternal stillness".

The goal of life
Author :Chang Kai-Chi 張開基
Here we are not talking about "the purpose of life" or "the meaning of life". There is a difference in meaning that is easy to be vague and misunderstood; Assuming we are talking "the purpose of life" is, it is about the final result of life. Assuming we are talking about "the meaning of life" seems to be talking about the true essence of life. And "the goal of life" is relatively short-stage and can be divided into stages; Regardless of whether there is a "life" in a planet or a galaxy other than the Earth, assuming that there is indeed an alien life, it can still be applied to most of them. For all life in the earth, the first important thing is “to be alive”. Don’t ask why. Almost all the lives will not ask this question. It can be said that all the creatures are fighting for “to be alive”, without exception. regardless how hard it is. So what is the goal of "to be alive"? Foraging? Any form of "foraging", whether it is herbivore, meat, omnivorous, parasitic, symbiotic, etc., is just a means of maintaining one's own life, but it is not a real goal. As a result, the real goal is to mate and breed. Whether it is sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction, fissiparity or heterosexual mating, the ultimate result is to reproduce the species. Since “to be alive” and foraging are only for Reproduction of offspring, then the generations continue to proliferate one after another. What is the ultimate goal? Modern biology tells us the answer full of rationality and Disenchantment: evolution. The evolution of living things has an absolute relationship with the environment in which they live. Therefore, as long as it can survive, this kind of species can remain unchanged for millions of millions of years, becoming a so-called "living fossil". Once it is not suitable for the environment, it must change to survive. These changes could be gradual or mutation. In order to survive, Life is so adapted to the local conditions through the way of reproduction, and therefore, that is why there is such a rich diversity of creatures in the Earth today. We can assume that if the living environment lasts for hundreds of thousands of years, then what will life be like? Nature does not need to change, but creatures are limited by the limited life of the body. So the survival of the species continues through generations of generations. However, in fact, this is impossible. Earth, as a planet, is not yet fully stable, and is still undergoing dramatic changes. It is almost impossible for all living creatures stay same without evolution. However, evolution is still only a process or a way of seeking for survival. It is still not an end or a goal. On this ever-changing earth, all the living creatures are seeking evolution ways to survival. Not only must they adapt the different terrain, climate, humidity, sunlight, moisture, air, etc., but also they need compete with other kinds of creatures and even similar creatures. The so-called the “weakest goes to the wall”, the survival of the fittest. Therefore, it can be said that all creatures in the Earth are striving for the most suitable and most favorable living space. As you can imagine, every species hope they become the "Earth hegemon". Other than the natural changes, they hope there will be no other competitors threatening the survival of themselves (and ethnic groups). Of course, there is no need to deny that human beings are the only hegemon on the Earth, after countless ever-changing incidents. There are no competitors, and contestable species in the foreseeable millions of years, if there is no natural large-scale extinction change. However, all living creatures, including human beings, have not stopped the evolution. Human beings have progressed from the most primitive and simple "to be alive" goal to "safe, comfortable, rich and happy living". Furthermore, we are seeking to "freedom and living by independent will ". However, obviously, this is still not enough to satisfy the desire of human beings to "Free and comfortable forever and living by our own independent will". Therefore, material civilization is advancing with science and technology, especially in medicine and biotechnology. Human beings can say that they have begun to escape the "evolutionary law" of natural law limits, and they are separated from the "evolutionary tree" of earth species. Although no one knows the general direction of where the future of mankind will go? However, it is an indisputable fact that human beings and other species have parted away and gradually diverge away. Of course, what's more important is that humans have found a way to live for a long time with another form of life. That is, "the soul will not die after death" and we can survive in the various of areas of the spiritual world, including heaven, hell, spiritual area like human society, better area, worse area, and some higher level spiritual world. Souls could even evolve to “energy state”, which is not only more free, but also more arbitrary. However, these are only one goal after another for human beings, but they are still not the ultimate goal. What is the meaning of life? What is the meaning of human life? Life happens by chance, and human beings have been evolved by chance. Human’s history is about seven million years, and it is only a matter of recent time compared with the history of the earth 4.6 billion years. We accidently became the hegemon of the earth species, and we jumped out from the evolutionary tree of this planet. We are on a path with no road sign, no end, and we have no idea what the road is. (More correctly, there should be no ready-made road, just a boundless Wasteland)? In the human world, there have not been any great prophets, and there is no such prophet who could provide a perfect plan or road map for the reference of all mankind. Therefore, the current state of mankind is really " To cross the river by feeling the stones." We are following the trend, step by step, no one can predict the long term future of human physical life and technological civilization. Will the technological weapon accidentally destroy the great future of mankind? Or is a highly intelligent robot going to end a relatively incompetent human species? Or is alien civilization going to destroy humans on Earth? Maybe, human beings can arbitrarily transform life forms and continue to survive in other time and space, until unknowable forever? What do you say?

Nature and god
Author :Chang Kai-Chi 張開基
1. If "God" was created from nature, same as all things in the world, including human beings, then "God" is still incompetent? Then everything in nature must not be created by "God" including life—then logically, "God" should have life limitation. There is no way to live forever even though He might be low-energy consumption and omnipotent. Then the assumption about everlasting God is basically insustained and the "monotheism" is also questionable. 2. If all things in heaven and earth, including humans and other creatures are all created by "God"—per existing explorations: a galaxy has 100 billion stars and 100 billion galaxies in the known universe. So, is there any life in the other 100 billion X 100 billion stars? Is it as lively and crowded as the Earth? If this is the case and it is also created by "God", then why is "God" alone special about Earth humans? Including human beings to abide by His commandments: such as flooding to destroy all living things? And want humanity to serve Him cautiously and fear about Him? Does "God" demand so many different lives on all the planets he created? If so, what is the purpose of serving Him in fear of Him? What benefits or effects does this have for him? If "God" is truly omnipotent, everything should be perfect creations. Of course, there is no need for incompetent humans or other life to serve, and He can destroy the world within a blink. At least the human beings do not need any reason. Fear has controlled over the human then why bother to address it again and again? If only human beings are unique in the whole universe, the earth is so tiny like "dust". Why does the omniscient God created such a pitiful life? And still care about these trivial minor things? Do you believe in Him? Have you been careful to serve Him? Is there a sincere fear of Him? Why can't "God" create a larger life form? Or can the power of "God" actually create such a tiny life? And it’s not yet in full control, so will you repeat these trivial little things to fear him? For humans, observe our own "creatives" such as pets within visible range, raising ants, bees, cultivate bacteria or viral viruses---at least they could be observed under microscope. Even strains of new viruses, they may be destroyed if necessary, but how to expect these bacteria or viruses to "serve" and "awe" Himself? Between 500 to 2000 years ago a, it was still in the cognitive era of the Earth as the center of the universe. The concept about earth was the largest, bigger than the sun, the moon and other stars, all the celestial bodies were rotating around the earth. Therefore, the Earth human being was the only wise creature created by "God" to "deliver the will of God." For example, if we are beekeepers, we have a box of bees to make them work for us (collecting honey). Of course we will hope that they will serve and fear us. Creatures will have no objection to hard work and will not escape from the mutiny, not fly to other places to help others work, etc. However, the condition must be that these beehives are as close as possible to the side, and must be within the scope of our vision and care; it is impossible for people to be in Taipei, all beehives are randomly placed in the remote countryside of Pingtung, usually it is rare to take care of it once. Well, now, we now know that the earth is not the center of the universe, the sun is bigger than the earth, the Milky Way is bigger, and the entire known universe is even bigger and unimaginable. In contrast, the earth is small and far away, leave it so far then raise such a trivial little thing? Is it reasonable to let such a tiny creatures serve and fear about God? If all things in heaven and earth and all life including human beings are created by "God", why are there so many natural disasters on Earth? And beekeeper will be be stupid trying to raise the beehive near the sulfur spring in Beitou’s Hell Valley? Why do people want to serve Him to fear Him, and why is the omnipotent "God" creating such a violent Earth? Why did the 311 earthquake and tsunami in Japan happen? Is "God" beginning to punish humans again? If not, why can't we stop or even eliminate such a disaster? If human beings are all destroyed by natural disasters in the global environment, how can they serve and fear God? 3. What is the relationship between the God and Mother of Nature? Like the universe we live in, is He the other big universe? At least these two universes are equal or similar, so why do He like to ask us about a negligible galaxy in the universe, one of which is insignificant in the solar system; one of the insignificant earths, a group of insignificant tiny creatures, and repeated requests These insignificant little human must believe in Him, must fear Him, and must serve Him? 4. Regarding the third point, "God" is very sincere? Or just as a kind of "breeding" for a while. If it is serious, the pattern of this "God" is narrow minded? Why there is such a little sway and storm on the earth, why can't God stop it? Or in his eyes, these little things are not painful, but if it is so, why? Do you care if humans fear Him? Is there a faith in serving Him? Do you worship idols, do you obey the commandments? 5. The same is true about the third point; if "God" and "Nature" are parallel and have nothing to do with the universe then everything on Earth is not created by Him. What power does He have to request human to serve Him with caution and fear? However, there is fact; since the earth has been human, there has never been a time when everyone has heard "God" at the same time; it is said that only a single-digit individual has been heard. If God is very concerned about these trivial little things on earth, do you believe in Him? Serve Him with caution and fear Him? Why not announce it in public? If we are the commander of the recruiting training center, we hope that all the recruits can obey orders then of all the recruits can understand the meaning of the various orders, obedient and well-behaved rewards. Disobedience or inadvertently will be punished. So all orders and rules should be announced in public. How can these announcements be mysterious and only one of the recruits got informed then conveyed to many other recruits? 6. Since "God" cares so much about whether human beings on earth believe in Him devoutly, why not first implement such an "unconditional obedience command" when creating human beings? If you care about those and care about the power of destruction, then why not target a mass extinction for all atheists, and those disobedient humans who believe in pagan gods and even worship idols? So not all human beings in the world will fully obey His commandments and obey His demands? Since it is omnipotent, why can't He publicly announce these requirements to the human beings of the earth? Why do you have to work hard to convey this message of hope through the "prophet" again and again? It has been ineffective for thousands of years and the "prophet" assigned was often killed, why must we use such an inefficient method? Please refresh the discussions as follows: 1. "God" created everything in the universe, especially life and humans on earth? 2. "God" is also a natural product? 3. "God" is another parallel universe. 4. Any other possibilities? ? ?

“Hard practice” or “happy living”
Author :Chang Kai-Chi 張開基
The topic is simple, but there is a lot for discussion. Let’s discuss together: 1) Is “hard practice” required for our life? 2) Is "suffering" a necessity of life? Without pain and suffering, you cannot graduate? 3) If you could lead a safe and peaceful life, but you can manage your life for a very successful way, Is your life still meaningful? 4) Born in a rich family, talented, loved by parents, going good school, married with loved one, had daughter and son, Inherited the family business, without personal accomplishments, not losing wealth, had grandchildren and grandchildren, live with happiness, no suffering, safe and enjoyable life. No good work, never violation of the law. Is such life perfect? Does that kind of life need reincarnation? All life on earth, no matter what they are doing. The goals are same: to survive! In the process of survival, they are desperately developing in a better direction, and whether they are instinct or through thinking, "going for better" is the inevitability of all species. Human beings are one of the species and we are the product of nature, without exception; My own induction: The goal of human life: Happiness, joy, freedom, comfortable, and Living. Happiness: favoring material wealth and satisfaction. Joy: The joy and good state of the spirit. Freedom: refers to the open and random activities of the physical and physiology, without the bondage, threats and slavery of human beings, bullying. There is no torture. comfortable: Self-satisfaction in the mind, security, no fear, sorrow and frustration, feelings of despair. Living: In the above conditions, survive and reproduce in accordance with the laws of nature. ------------------------------------- The activities of a person’s life are carried out under such a principle, and work towards this goal. The so-called "wisdom" is also necessary to promote and accumulate in order to achieve this goal. If you go beyond this goal and talk about "pure wisdom", it is an idle talk. Maybe we have to study, work, exercise ------ these are contrary to our nature (despise work hard and love ease), but the goal has not changed, the study is to have professional knowledge, skills or practical wisdom, can have a good job. It is possible to gradually advance to the big goal. Exercise is the necessary condition for exercising physical fitness, making yourself healthy and having enough motivation of work, enjoying and reproducing future generations. The inevitable training and pain of these training and exercises are costly. These practices even develop into a kind of happiness that satisfies curiosity, engages in the work that you like, and gains a sense of accomplishment in creation and service. Moderate exercise also brings comfort to the body and mind. Do what you like to do, live the life you like, and then share these and your closest family, friends, and friends with the same happiness, joy, freedom, comfortable, and Living. Pain, disaster, torture, failure, grief, etc. are not necessarily worthless. They are also very usual to encounter when trying to move toward the goal. Some are even completely inevitable, such as congenital illness, infectious diseases, natural disasters, illness of close friends, the death of life, not what we want, but have to face and bear. In these "unsatisfactory" situations, you can still experience and precipitate "wisdom", and learn to "cherish" what you have now, and earnestly do your best, and then minimize the regrets afterwards. As for the congenital illness, if you endure hard and try to reverse it, you can often crystallize higher "wisdom". Of course, it is best to share it unselfishly, and the common people, you don’t need simulate or repeat it. Just use empathy and humanity's most imaginative imagination to feel and taste it. The deliberately "suffering" and "hard practice" cannot be said to be useless. It is also possible to crystallize some experiences and wisdom. However, if treat "suffering " and "hard practice" as mandatory part of human life, that is, to put the cart before the horse and violate the nature. Violation of nature introduce no truth. Anything violating the big principle is a mistake. Then it is unwise behavior, nothing to do with wisdom. Why not give up these unwise behaviors and return to basic/instinct needs. No one needs to suffer voluntarily. For all human beings, people naturally arise, naturally survive, and naturally seek a better life, "happiness, joy, freedom, comfortable, and Living." You need decide whether it is right or not, good or bad, yes or no. Then you take whatever you like and take the result of it. You manager your own life, strive for the best. There is no God or ghost helping you, no God/ghost interfere with your life. God or Ghost have no right to take anything from you, and you have nothing to do with God/ghost. Manage this life well, "Happiness, joy, freedom, comfortable, and living". When you die, you will not take away a penny. Do not over care about what you have before. No attachments, no regrets. Then you do not need worry about reincarnation or ultimate trial. Note: At 12:20 in the evening, look at the stars on the sky, the stars tonight are beautiful. While organizing this article in my mind; suddenly a bright white meteor across the upper sky. Great feeling, like a friendly "response"! Xiuwu Chapter of Huainanzi: Shen Nong tried hundreds of weeds and met 70 poison in a day. Shen Nong tried thousands of weeds, but died after ate gelsemium elegans. Maybe Shen Nong was just a symbol of one tribe of ancient time. While looking back the history of human, many pioneers of human, they underwent all kinds of sufferings, and bad experiences. These experiences became wisdom and we summary these experience as knowledge. Chinese traditional bok choy, the most common vegetable, was discovered by our ancestor. It is tasty, crispy, easy to plant, and not harmful for human. Bok choy was weed before, live among other poison weeds, which could be harmful for human. These harmful weeds, people may have diarrhea or die after ate them. Just like Shen Nong, our ancestors tried all kinds of weeds, to find which one is good for people, which one is poison, and which one could be used as medicine. Some of the ancestors died after try, but they left the knowledge to other people. Should every of us try these weed again? And suffer the feeling of poison? Absolute No! One or few people’s sacrifice, benefit most other people. That kind of sacrifice is meaningful, and it is necessary for the survival of the whole tribe. However, some people try to get/develop wisdom buy taking these suffering, that kind of method is not effective, and the result is very limited. They could only get some one-sided wisdom. Successful career, happy family life, good relationship with spouse, and interactions with relatives, all of these need high wisdom, and we could learn a lot from these activities. It is impossible to obtain life wisdom by abstinence, vegetarian food, lifetime long meditation, “not strive for best”, or “eliminate the desire of suffering “. Therefore, pain is not the only way to seek wisdom; a lot of wisdom can be passed down and "quoted". One of the most important things that human beings can become the most successful species on the planet is that we know how to pass on wisdom, share experiences, and even record them in words, and pass them on from generation to generation.

About savior
Author :Chang Kai-Chi 張開基Humans almost always have a "savior complex". However, it should be classified into two types. The first is "looking for the savior" and the second is "self-identification as the savior." The former is of course the weak, and the latter is not necessarily the winner (a liar or a crazy man). Of course, the most important task of the "Savior" is to save the world, that is, to save the whole world. This is a very popular theme in the movie. The most classic is the movie Superman, and a series of films of "Terminator". The robot from future came back to “now” by time travel, either to kill or protect the younger version of future savior. Keanu Charles Reeves also played a legendary savior in the movie “The matrix”, and Jet Li also starred in Film entitled "The One”. What is ridiculous is that these saviors use violence and cruel killing to save the world. Even Superman is no exception. In the movie “The Matrix”, Keanu Reeves is fighting in close combat, and even one-on-one duel, to save the world. (If you need to use a machine gun or a close-knit martial art to save the world, the world is no longer worth saving, and those saviors can go back to sleep.) There is no doubt about it that the concept of "savior" originates from religion. From Judaism and Zoroastrianism, there are the names of Messiah, Saoshyant, and so on. All these believers are so obsessed for savior, yeas by year. Cross the thousands of years, there is no Savior. The only one was regarded as the Messiah at one moment, later, he was nailed to the cross, and after all, he did not succeed in saving the world. Jews have lived in exile and even slave life for thousands of years, it is pretty straightforward to understand their Savior complex. But is strange for other religions to hold the Savior complex, since other religion believers have never been exiled or persecuted. It is also ridiculous to copy the Jewish "Savior" legend. As for those who do not have a specific belief, if there is also a desire to "savior", is it even more inexplicable? Let us think about it. Why does this world need to be saved? What should be considered "saved"? The Jewish people have always had a "re-establishment plan", where they will not exile or persecuted by other ethnic groups any more. However, after the Second World War, they also established their country in Israel now, although they are still excluded and expelled by neighboring Arab countries from time to time. Even though sometimes have a brush with Palestinians, they have their own land/country and don’t need wander any more. However, look at the historical fact that the Jews died in the Nazi concentration camp during the World War II. They didn’t get any help from the legendary Messiah. The legendary Messiah proves to be a fictional fantasy after thousands of years of cruel history. Note: "Messiah" is purely a "savior" exclusive to the Jewish nation (should be called the "national savior" of the Jews). It only saves the Jews, does not save the Egyptians, does not save the Palestinians, Arabs who do not save the feuds around Israel will certainly not save other nations and nations. Similarly, since the history of mankind, there has never been a "savior", and no god, man or ghost has completely saved the whole world. In fact, I believe that nobody can specifically describe: what extent could the world count as saved? What is the salvation? Maybe when all people are rich in food and clothing, and there is no scare, then we are saved? Or when we could live forever with eternal bliss, then we are saved? In fact, no one really knows. Even those who are eager to have a "savior" or who emphasize that "Messiah" will surely come, could they clearly describe this issue? The problem is very simple, because the world has always been like this. there is no problem of "saving or not saving". Only if it faced the urgent state that the asteroid will hit the earth within a month, causing the end of the world, so a "superman" can be emerging to push the small planet away. So, he can save the world. "Savior" has never come, never existed. As for "salvation", mankind has never faced a specific crisis of survival. If it means saving the soul of mankind, it is okay to wait for the end of the world to save. If the salvation means "save the heart," there is no magical recipes that can be changed our heart/mind. Imaging some fantastic magic gas, sprayed into the atmosphere, after humans smell it, we all become good people in a moment and most people share similar idea. Unfortunately, the is NO such gas. This is a changing universe. "Impermanence" is inevitable. However, we humans still prefer "normal". Therefore, normal/static is the favorable state all humans. Most of the "abnormal" is not a good thing. Therefore, ordinary people role in the society, is the most favorable role for human. Most people are like this. Therefore, special power is abnormal and has no real meaning and it will not be positive for daily life. Think about it, which kind of special power is beneficial to the human and the society? Whether it is a scam or not, even if it is true, the “Finger literacy”, “pills crossing the bottled”, “catalyze bean to sprout”, and “remotely burn the clothes” What if there are these special powers? Is there a substantial benefit to real life? Can these special eliminate a disaster? Can that save the world? In the event of a fire; can you use a special power to extinguish it? Could the special power eliminate a big flood or a tornado? When a major earthquake occurs, can the special power keep the crust from shaking? Before the Wenchuan earthquake in China, was there a person with a special power predicted and warned public in advance by remote sensing and thus saved most people? Some small tricks or conjuring were over exaggerated, how much fund have the research group in Taiwan university has spent? Did they even able to find anything practical about special power? Just a hoax. In the same way, most people can't communicate with the souls/ghosts. This is the normal. There are very few born with the ability to communicate with ghosts. This ability could be a gift or a defect. Anyway, that kind of ability cannot change the world. It cannot make living person die, cannot save dead person to alive, cannot accurately predict the future. You are counting on him to make you rich, but he wants to make money from you. You are expecting him to help you in intimate relationships, but his own marriage is totally messy. If you are an ordinary person, congratulations! You don’t need any special power, and no need be able to communicate with ghosts. It is great that you are not a "mutant" or "half-orc", these two are just existing in science fiction. If it really exists, the possibility of harming society is much higher than benefiting the public, therefore, don't want to learn how to become a "mutant". Also, Judaism speaks of "End day Judgment", Buddhism speaks of "the end of the world". Many other religions are also copied into various similar expressions or slogans of the cottage version. Such as end of the poplar, the end day of old mother. From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the yellow towel thief rebellion, the white lotus religion, the Taiping rebellion, and some other religions advocating for “End day of the world” in foreign countries (other than China), describe the world today as a horrible world. Ghosts and evil are everywhere, people's hearts are sinful, and there is no justice in the world. Therefore, God sent a messiah, angels came to the world, specializing in sweeping the demon atmosphere, saving the people ------- All these cheating methods are so similar in ancient and modern times, the same in China and abroad! For religion workers or those who can communicate with ghost, they are doing small-scale fraud, which is already very embarrassing, very odious. However, what is even more odious is that the “savior” doctrine confuses the public and scared the normal people! The rule is simple here. For those who is preaching “Current people is sinful”, “Nowadays is ending world”, “Ghost and evil are prevailing in the world”, “God is sending angel to the world to sweep the demon”, they are the real evils. They try to scare the world, and they try to make disruptions in the public. Because panic and disruptions could create fear in people’s heart. Once there is fear in people’s heart, common people will go them for help. Asking them for help is the biggest business opportunity for them to get rich. There is no savior, the world today is as usual, and there is no urgent event threatening our survival. There is no evil or demon, and there is no need to ask the god to send angels to clean up the world. In the history of mankind, it never happened. Many of these claims were later proved to be scams or heresy’s tricks. Everyone who dares to call himself "Buddha, Bodhisattva, Living Buddha, Immortal, Fairy, Immortal" or "Buddha, Bodhisattva, God reincarnation" is nothing but a swindler or cheater. As long as he/she still need to eat, pull, sleep, and breathe and heartbeat, and more important, will reach out and collect money from you, that is a person, definitely not a Buddha, a bodhisattva, a god, a fairy. In the same way, the spiritual world is the spiritual world, and the human world is the human world. Human people could/should manage all the things in the human world, and there is no need for God/ghost to interfere. Not tolerate those things that are pretending to be God/ghosts! www.facebook.com/groups/2260704707486729/www.cwnp.net/thread-13955-1-1.html

Don't Deprive the Creator's Right
Author :Chang Kai-ChiRecently, animal conservationist paid more and more attention about the perspective of the entire earth species evolution-- it is undeniable that human beings are one of the many species and are also under evolutionary mechanism control. However, begin the interference with the evolution of species via tools usage, bio-knowledge progressing, technology highly developing even starting the genetic decoding. Perhaps the driving force comes from the curiosity about the mysteries of life. Through these recent researching, humans also hope that they can live better and longer. Scientists have been committed to rule out many genetic defects, enhance human immunity from diseases, and cultivate "backup" organs or limbs so the damaged/aged parts can be replaced in the near future, while also attempting to reach the ultimate goal of everlasting. However, the movement system that allows human beings to completely off-trek from the evolutionary mechanism might be a wonderful task. However, I can't personally agree with these points not only because of ecological balance, but also ethical considerations. Let us assume human eventually reach this goal in very near future—the outcome will inevitably lead serious crisis from the evolution point of view. Just a while ago, I noticed news that was Australia koalas related: the successful koala protection has led uncontrollable over-breeding and ecological imbalance. Therefore, the Australian government has no choice but to slaughter over amount koalas. Such embarrassing news for cute Koalas (always been regarded as a national treasure). It is beyond the original expected conservation policy, also reveals the arrogance and self-righteous of human beings. Since billion years revolutions, various species on the earth have been constantly evolving, and each other is competing with each other, winning and defeating under the survival mechanism. From the subjective favor of human beings, the intervention and interference produce the unaffordable consequences. For example, extinct flora and fauna becomes fossils and no longer lives in the ecological environment of today's earth is definitely with it is own reasons. Such as trilobites and nautilus, the later had been extinct, but the former still survive well in the ocean—all because the Nature adapted itself. Seems human beings are always arrogant and want to play the creator. For example, not long ago, archaeologists excavated the ancient elephant in the tundra near the Arctic Circle. Then some scientists began to rush to extract DNA, hoping to copy the living "long hairy image", However, let the extinct ancient animal successfully reproduce on the earth or let other more deadly paleontology re-live on the earth, what does it mean to humans or other species on the earth? ? I am afraid that not only do more harm than good, but there are things might get out of hands. Or we can look at the sci-fi plot in the movie "Jurassic Park". In the history of the world's 4.6 billion years, although life is very late, the pace of evolution is very fast, on the big stage of the earth, all the species are just actors who keep coming and going. Some even have the evolutionary relationship with each other like relay players, so when some species play their own roles, and after completing the task of inheriting and evolving, it is necessary to naturally step down and let the stage be given to a new generation of species. From the most primitive life "anaerobic bacteria" to the "blue-green algae" of single-celled organisms, to the "trilobite", to the dinosaurs of the Mesozoic era, to the mammals, and to the humans of the late primates, of course. Human beings are not the most perfect and ultimate creatures of evolution. However, at least for now, they are the most evolved creatures since the birth of the Earth. The existence of human beings is due to the evolution of generations of species since the "anaerobic bacteria" emerging. Or, for those other species that are still accompanying us and even providing human survival, whether it is animals and plants, we only need to adopt the attitude of “compliance with nature”, without interfering with the creator’s job duties--the evolution. If there are new species created from the nature, it is not something humans can resist, and the old species must complete its phased transfer and evolution task and may get extinct down the road, but human beings cannot alter these changes, because it is absolutely an act that seriously interferes with the mechanism of biological evolution, and the consequences could be unimaginable. The most ridiculous joke I have heard is that there are many scientists’ or conservationists’ reason is “Or our children need to see specimens in museums". I really can't understand what kind of childish point of view like this. Was it necessary to conserve certain species only to let the children of future generations see them alive? However, observe form Earth history: the selection from the creator, the species that are naturally extinct were over hundreds of millions. Is it proper to let human define those species should fit or not? The earth is like a stage for life, and the natural resources are very limited. The extinction of the species is to remove resources about non-fit lives and continues to transmit evolutionary tasks. Imagine if the dinosaurs were not extinct, would there be mammals that would flourish on the Earth stage later? Will humanity have the development of civilization today? Another example, what if the original Javanese (very original Beijing people) or the cavemen Neanderthal survive until today and leave no room for contemporized human? We are just one of many species in the history of the Earth. It is no proper to interfere the evolutionary process. When human are dealing the so-called "conservation work", must proceed without disturbing the evolution mechanism of the species. To prevent from unnecessary killing because of greed (because this kind of activities also interferes with the natural evolution), and the rest is creator’s choices. Let the ancient creatures who have already stepped down to resurrect, or just to let the children of future generations marvel to forcibly continue the conservation of certain species, or actively cultivate the behavior of some specific creatures for the self-interest of human beings. It should stop immediately. Otherwise, the consequences will not only make humans paralyzed, but will further cause humans and other earth species to fall into unrecoverable situations. For instance, Taiwan has deliberately introduced and mass-produced "shou snails", resulting in serious losses of crops and almost causing ecological imbalances. Australia once produced a large number of hares and almost destroys the natural balance and becomes the disaster about the Australian environment. Inhibition, the result not only seriously damages agriculture, but also caused other ecological imbalances such as kangaroos. Later, it took a lot of work to restore the original state. Another example is trying to conserve the shark. In fact, the focus is only on actively suppressing the mass killing of the shark in order to obtaining shark fin. If human beings are ignorant and pursuing over-conservation which leads shark number increases, it will definitely cause an imbalance about the marine ecology. "Appendix related news: Saving the ecology of Kangaroo Island in South Australia Experts called for the killing of 20,000 koalas. The British Daily Telegraph reported on the first day that ecologists have called for the killing of 20,000 koalas, one of Australia's most popular tourist spots, to maintain their ecology. The newspaper reported that the number of kangaroos on Kangaroo Island off the coast of South Australia has risen from 5,000 to five thousand three years ago; raising concerns that the eucalyptus tree eaten by the marsupials will soon disappear. A confidential report from the South Australian Provincial Government's Wild Advisory Council said that existing "soft" measures such as ligation and displacement may not have the best interest in conservation. Some ecologists believe that mass destruction is the only way. University of Adelaide ecologist Peyton said that without control, Kangaroo Island has bad situations. "Every tree will die but the rude koalas are relying on the trees." www.facebook.com/groups/2260704707486729/www.cwnp.net/thread-13961-1-1.html

Crime and intimidation
Author :Chang Kai-Chi 張開基
www.facebook.com/groups/2260704707486729/Let’s think calmly, are all the species in this world living very happy and carefree? Of course NOT! In fact, all species struggle very hard, and there are dangers everywhere at any time. Human beings are also one of the species, and we are struggling very hard too. Just because our technological is much advanced than other species, we are finally at the top of the food chain, which significantly reduced the chance of being preyed by other species. Our lives are rarely jeopardized. However, human beings are often hurt by ourselves, including legal and illegal methods. Political strategies, and commercial tactics, are all exploiting civilians and even poor people, forming a serious of social inequality. It is not easy for people to make a living in nature, and it is equally difficult to make a living in human society. There are also various adversities of life, including illness and death, as well as natural and man-made disasters. Peaceful and smooth life is the human’s basic hope. However, such a good situation is not the norm. It is a luxury. Most people cannot enjoy such good situation for a long time. People maybe enjoy a good time for a short period, or never lead such a good time for their whole life. Since it is hard to make a living, it is inevitable that there will be some competition. By instinct we may make some words and deeds that violate the rules of social games. However, under the framework of human spiritual civilization, many religions and ethics are so demanding to restrict all human beings. Ironically, these sin and crime concept are stressed by these religious personages, who are all supported by the common people, and they don’t need worry about the food, and their family. Don’t Judge Me Until You’ve Walked In My Shoes. If these priests, nuns, monks, and nuns are returned to the society, and they must make a living by their own efforts. Just like common people, they need marry someone, raise the children, and make a living. I am wondering if they still stress these sin, crime, and karma all the time. I think probably not. Probably, we should temporarily remove these spiritual civilizations and religious concept from the human society. Let the humans live in an original natural environment, and we still on the top of the food chain. Without the intimidation of the sin and the karma, will humans get worse or get better? I guess there won't be much change, because human beings are the products of nature, and they will live in the most favorable and optimal way according to natural selection. Especially without religion, human beings will not become worse or better, but at least they will become more free and more comfortable. Our body will be more free and our souls will be more comfortable. Because human beings can really be our own masters, instead of being servants who are always in the dark. We do not have to serve the virtual gods, do not have to please the ghosts, do not waste huge social resources. We don’t need feed these parasites who take advantage of religions to obtain tremendous interest for themselves. More important, we will not be intimidated by these people all the time. "Real people" know how to be Self-positioning. If you understand self-discipline, you don't use the sin frame to restrict yourself! Not needed at all! Ghosts and gods have no right to interfere with human thoughts and deeds. Religion can't have any privilege to control and judgment human thoughts. Religious swindler can't have the parasitic privilege and can't use the sin to intimidate the world! When a region is ruled by white terror, there will be "There is a problem with thoughts!". When a region is ruled by red terror, there will have the intimidating vocabulary of "you are the current counter-revolution!". Similarly, only in areas where ghosts and gods rule, there will be threatening vocabulary, such as “sin” and “karma”. The "karma" is just a threatening word! "There is a problem with thoughts!" and "You are the current counter-revolution!" will eventually become history with the collapse of the political system and ideology, and the "sin” and “Karma" will also! When human beings are truly separated from theocracy, no longer serving the gods, and completely abandoning superstition, the intimidating vocabulary of "sin” and “karma” will become the "historical noun", as one of the blemish attaints of human spiritual civilization.

No savior
Author :Chang Kai-Chi 張開基
www.facebook.com/groups/2260704707486729/An ignorant person believes in a savior; A timid person expects a savior; The arrogant person wants to be the savior; Crazy people think that they are the savior; Some treacherous people pretend to be the saviors, and smugly deceive the world. However, what they did are meaningless and just wasted their precious life! Nowadays, the 21st century, for all mainstream religions, whether they value the interests of the believers or not, "redemption" or "future salvation" are their indispensable doctrine. Especially some prophecies, the indefinitely future redemption is a powerful promotional advertisement. Since "redemption" is the main target, it will inevitably emphasize the existence of "Savior" and the importance of believing in the Savior. Among the current popular religions, Judaism exert to its utmost to promote redemption and savior. However, The Catholic, Christian and Islamic, derived from Judaism, are almost indiscriminate. "Judaism" is the most important of the existing religious religions. It has been the most powerful promotion of "redemption" and "savior". The Catholic, Christian and Islamic religions derived from it are almost indiscriminate. However, since ancient times, the Jews have repeatedly become humble slaves. The most widely known is the "Exodus" that Moses led the Jewish man to escape. Later, although Moses nominally founded the country, but the country was still ruled by the Roman Empire. Until the Second World War, for thousands of years, most of the Jews have been wandering. For thousands of years, countless Jewish prophets have repeatedly predicted and guaranteed that the "Messiah" (savior) will surely come, and all Jews firmly believe the prophecy that has not a specific date to fulfill. During the two thousand years, the "Messiah" in the prophecy seemed to finally appear. It was "Jesus" from Nazareth. He was first approached by ecstatic believer in the temple of Jerusalem, but when some Jewish elders of the power found that the young man’s remarks were openly challenging their authority and vested interests, Through King Herod, with charge “Heresy” and “false prophet”, Jesus was crucified by Romans. Judaism certainly does not recognize that Jesus is the Son of God, not the Messiah they have been looking forward to. Even the Four Gospels of the New Testament are tantamount to denying Jesus the Savior. Jews have been waiting for the Messiah(savior) for more than thousands of years, how long do they need wait more? What kind of moment will he come? 6 million of Jews died in concentration camps under Nazi. Did these 6 million Jews pray for the gods to send the Messiah to redeem? Of course, they prayed! However, the Messiah certainly did not appear, so in the history of the Second World War, there will be a Nazi massacre of 6 million Jews. The remains of the concentration camp of Nazvich is the best proof. It proved that God didn’t take care of Jews’ pray and didn’t send the Messiah. Even the 6 million people’s life cannot exchange for Messiah’s appearance, what kind of misery will it be necessary for the Savior to appear? If even such a horrible situation can't get to the redemption of the Messiah, then can we wait until the end of the final judgment to finally get a comprehensive redemption for those who believe in God? In fact, in the Second World War, the Nazis’ Exterminations and massacres against the Jews, was stopped by the defeat of Germany. However, because there is no "Messiah" emergence for the charity redemption, and this ironclad proves that "Messiah" and redemption are just a prophecy that will never be fulfilled. The redemption is just the good wish of the Jews, A nation experienced countless sufferings and storms. Furthermore, it could be just a lie of some people who want to swindle the power. Under such historical evidence, for a "Messiah" that has never appeared in history and will never appear in the future, if there are still someone convinced. Then probably it is a kind of "racial collective psychology". Or, look at the most recent examples at the twenty-first century. On the morning of December 26, 2004, a large level 9 earthquake the north of Sumatra, Indonesia, triggered a tsunami. The major disaster spread to more than ten countries or regions around it, and even the east Africa was impacted. It is estimated that the total number of deaths in the "South Asian tsunami" exceeded 300,000, and the number of injured was about 500,000. The property and the overall economic loss of the country are even more difficult to estimate. In historical disasters, the death toll ranges from hundreds to millions. The number of deaths in the "South Asian tsunami" is certainly not the largest, but the number of countries or regions affected by it is quite large. The impact is also very large, and the directly affected countries include Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bangladesh, Kenya, East Africa, Somalia, Tanzania, Madagascar and Safir Islands. In such a vast number of affected areas and countries, there are many different nationalities and different religious beliefs; and almost covers the majority of mainstream religions, including Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Catholicism, Christianity, Taoism and other tributaries. Various temple buildings of various religions are ruined by countless tsunami, and the believers of various religions were killed in the tsunami as well. Obviously, nature treated everyone equally. In this century-level tsunami disaster, nature didn’t favor any country, nation, or religion. Similarly, nature didn't particularly hate any country, nation, and religion. At that time, in such a century-level tsunami disaster, nature proved to all human beings (including all religious believers) that there is no savior. Because no god believed in religion has provided redemption at the time of the disaster. From God, Gods, Virgin Mary, Jesus, Allah, Buddhist scriptures, Avalokitesvara, Mazu, Shiva, Jade Emperor, etc., all of them did not hold out the omnipotent hand to stop the raging waves, save the people in the dangers. Most of the more than 300,000 tsunami victims have religious beliefs. I believe that all the dying people have tried their best to pray for the gods they have always believed in before the death. Even for those who was able to survive in the tsunami attack, they watched their loved ones swallowed away by the huge waves. They also cried and cried, asking for help from the almighty God or even miracles, and of course there is nothing happened. God did not appear, and the Savior never came as it did in human history. There was no miracle that could give the believers a big surprise. In the "South Asia Tsunami", several events related to the topic "Savior" are also worth more discussions. 1) Simeulue, Indonesia, which is an island really close to the epicenter, was the worst-hit area in the tsunami. However, no one died on the island because the island’s residents relied on an ancient legend. The ancient legend told people running to the higher mountains during earthquake, so most of the people run to higher place before the arrival of the tsunami, so all survived. This incident fully demonstrates that these islanders rely on the ancient rules of thumb to save themselves. They are not lucky, there are no miracles, no savior, they are even sure not to mention religion, God, prayer, etc. Regardless what kind of religion is believed in, In the "South Asian tsunami", religions didn’t not provide any support. The gods and teachings of this religion also didn’t provide any assistance. The ancient legend they rely on is that their ancestors summarized from multiple events, at the cost of their lives. The rules of thumb were passed down from generation to generation. This is an "artificial" effort that has nothing to do with religious deities. Of course, it has nothing to do with the "savior." 2) In this "South Asian tsunami", human beings were dead and wounded, and their bodies were everywhere. It was bizarre that the number of animal bodies found were surprisingly small, this really surprised various earthquake and animal experts. Therefore, as most people believed, probably it is true that most animals are more sensitive to earthquakes and tsunami than humans, so they can escape from disasters in time. It is worth mentioning that animals do not have any religious beliefs or religious activities, so they do not believe in any ghosts or gods, nor do they have the concept of "savior". Therefore, the statement that "believers have eternal life" is completely meaningless to them. When disaster strikes, they rely on nature to give instinct to escape, so they do not have to rely on the "savior." Interestingly, all animals are the same as humans; the two sides (human and animal) have never seen the "savior", and thus can prove that there is no "savior" in nature!
