The closer ordinary people are to death, the more open-minded they are, because they have to be open-minded. Everyone knows that death is bound to come. Without expectations, there is no disappointment. Everyone knows that humans can only live for a hundred years at most, and the quality of life will get worse as they get older.
There is no way to stop this either. No matter how rich you are, the longer you live, the worse your quality of life will inevitably be. It's like people in their thirties are definitely not as wantonly and comfortable as people in their seventeens and eighteens.
Let alone other things, just the digestive ability is different.
When you were a teenager, you were still energetic after an all-nighter, and you could go to bed immediately after eating. When you woke up, you would poop and feel comfortable all over. When you are in your thirties, it's completely different. If you eat a midnight snack and go to bed at night, you will find that your digestive system will be a little uncomfortable the next morning. If you go for an X-ray, you will find that the midnight snack you ate last night has not been digested yet!
The same goes for sleeping.
When I was 17 or 18 years old, I could fall asleep almost immediately after lying down. After my 30s, the quality of my sleep dropped drastically. Either I couldn't sleep or I couldn't sleep well. (This is the case with the author. After I turned 32, I felt that my health was not as good as before. I even updated at 3 or 4 in the morning before, and I was fine when I woke up the next day. Now it's not possible. I go to bed at 3 or 4 in the morning, and I feel uncomfortable the next day.)
Except for sleeping, other things are also changing.
When you are in your 60s or 70s, no matter how healthy you are, you will have some problems. The quality of life will inevitably decline.
Even if you are rich, it will not help.
Many rich people, in order to live longer, spend money on all kinds of messy drugs, and even some mysterious drugs, but the question is, is their quality of life really high?
At their level, perhaps they just live simply.
Of course, this is naturally unattainable for ordinary people like us. But how about the quality of life of those rich people compared to when they were young?
At the end of life, it is even more painful.
Once you close your eyes, you will be unconscious. That is called a happy funeral.
This way, not only will you not suffer, but your family and friends will also suffer less. (The author has personal experience. The author's elders have been bedridden for a long time, and the author personally took care of his grandfather. It was not an ordinary torture)
The key is that kind of torture will make the person feel that life is worse than death!
Many elderly people in their later years are really dying. There is a saying that it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, but in fact, if you really reach that point, you will find that it is actually better to live a miserable life than to die a good death!
So the closer ordinary people are to death, the more open-minded they are, at least that is what the author has seen. After all, death will not hurt... This is the truth. I have seen it more than once with my own eyes!
But the gods are different, especially the gods in the Pantheon, because they can't see their own death!
They can live for a long time, and they don't even know how long they can live!
So they have no expectation of death at all!
What they expect is to live forever, and even the concept of "eternity" has begun to spread among the gods. They think that they can live forever like those demons... Yes, demons can live forever... The premise is that they have enough souls.
This is also the reason why the gods and demons traded back then.
Why do the gods control so many worlds, but still cause a shortage of faith power?
Instead of being able to squander it?
The answer is that they must abide by the trading rules with the demons, and they must offer sacrifices to the demons! A large part of those dead souls will flow to the demon dimension! In order to ensure the number, the gods need to constantly provoke wars so that the world they rule will never have peace!
I don’t know which demon lord is so genius that he actually reached an agreement with the Pantheon, allowing the gods to have the ability to rely on the power of faith, while the demon lord does not have to do anything to get endless souls.
Demons do like to destroy and destroy, but that is just a hobby. Their main goal is still the soul of the material universe.
If you can get souls without doing anything, no demon can refuse such a deal.
The key is that such a deal can continue!
And the gods have also achieved what they want. As long as the faith exists, they can live forever!
This makes them have no expectations for death, which is impossible on Earth. When they were on Earth, they also had a lifespan.
The most typical example is the Egyptian gods. Ra wanted to retire and let his son Set take over. Osiris was old and wanted his son Horus to take over.
If the gods were immortal, none of this would happen.
Even the power change of the ancient Greek gods was related to lifespan. If the fathers were not old, the next generation would not be able to beat them!
But now all of this is gone.
Because they can never die, the gods began to feel that they are eternal!
Since they will never die, and even their quality of life will never decrease, why should they be open-minded about death?
It doesn't exist at all!
According to his age, Zeus should have died long ago. But now? He can still do things like having sex with beautiful women or beautiful boys every day. If he dies, these things will no longer exist!
Can he not be afraid of death?
This is not shameful.
At least that's what Zeus thinks.
"Who is not afraid of death? Even those gods of death who are named after death are also afraid of death! Yes, I am afraid, Kai. There is no shame in that."
Zeus did not show too much anger when faced with Kai's questioning.
In fact, the moment he admitted that he was timid, not only did he not feel embarrassed, but he felt a sense of relief.
It’s like... a shameless person is invincible in the world!
Once people let go of their shame, there really is nothing to fear.
Of course Zeus would not carry this alone.
He turned to look at the others: "Aren't you afraid of death? Are you willing to face Geer?!"
The gods were silent.
In fact, during the previous meeting, many people proposed sending troops to attack Geer. But every time it ended in vain.
Do you think there are brave people out there?
If you really think so, you are wrong!
Do you know the Donglin Party?
There are different opinions on the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Some people blame the emperor, saying that Emperor Wanli was slack in politics, Emperor Tianqi was absurd and excessive, Emperor Chongzhen was suspicious and indecisive. Some people blamed the eunuchs and said that Wei Zhongxian and his gang had caused harm to the country and the people and harmed the loyal. Others believe that it was the rogue bandits Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others who burned, killed and looted everywhere, shaking the rule of the Ming Dynasty. However, a careful study of the history of the Ming Dynasty will reveal that the culprits that led to the fall of the Ming Dynasty were actually members of the Donglin Party.
When talking about the Donglin Party, the first impression of many people may be the Zhou Shunchang who is not afraid of power in "The Story of Five Tombstones", or the iron-clad Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, but if you have a deeper understanding of the history of the late Ming Dynasty, You will find that not all Donglin Party members have a positive image, especially those in the later period, including a group of "angry youths" who pride themselves on being noble and not pragmatic. It was these people who pushed the Ming Dynasty into the abyss of collapse. One of the distinctive characteristics of Donglin Party members is that they like to talk loudly and often say that "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." However, when the country is in crisis, they often stand by and watch, or even add fuel to the flames.
One of the distinctive characteristics of Donglin Party members is that they like to talk loudly and often say that "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." However, when the country is in crisis, they often stand by and watch, or even add fuel to the flames. In 1642, the Ming Dynasty ushered in a rare opportunity. At that time, the Battle of Songjin between the Ming and Qing Dynasties had just ended. Although the Ming army was defeated miserably, the Qing army was also severely weakened. Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty Huang Taiji realized that he wanted to completely defeat the huge Ming army. It was not easy to conquer the Ming Dynasty, so he took the initiative to propose peace to the Ming Dynasty. Huang Taiji was very sincere. He personally led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city for twenty miles to greet the Ming Dynasty envoys. His attitude was sincere and the conditions he offered were quite friendly: Ningyuan and Tashan should be used as the boundary and non-aggression; Ming Dynasty refugees should be repatriated. People; the Ming Dynasty provided silver and gold to the Qing Dynasty every year in exchange for ginseng and mink skins; the two countries became a brotherly state. For the Ming Dynasty, which was suffering from internal and external troubles, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity to take a breather. If it could negotiate peace with the Manchus in the north and concentrate its efforts on quelling the civil strife and reforming bad policies, it would be entirely possible for the Ming Dynasty to continue its reign.
However, the Donglin Party members sneered at this. They shouted "No marriage, no compensation, no cession of land, and no tribute." They shouted, "The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies for the country." In their view, how can the majestic heaven and the country compete with each other? Barbarian peace talks? The person who proposed such a suggestion simply He was the sinner of the Ming Dynasty! Under the pressure of public opinion, Emperor Chongzhen, in order to express his position, shifted all the responsibility for peace negotiations to Chen Xinjia, Minister of the Ministry of War. He executed Chen Xinjia on the charge of "collaborating with the enemy" and categorically rejected the Manchu Qing's proposal. Negotiations and proposals.
Ming Dynasty missed an opportunity that could change the direction of history, and this was just the beginning of the Donglin Party's mischief against the country...
The Donglin Party members not only misled the country in foreign policy but also had many problems in domestic affairs. Their struggle with the eunuch group headed by Wei Zhongxian lasted almost throughout the Tianqi Dynasty. On the surface, the Donglin Party members seemed to occupy the moral high ground and shouted They want to reform the current malpractice and create a clean and honest government, but the eunuch group is their opposite, monopolizing power and destroying the honest and good, corrupting and corrupting. The eunuch's power comes from the emperor. Without the emperor's support, the eunuch has no right to speak. Wei Zhongxian is an old slave who grew up watching Tianqi, and he is loyal and respectful to the emperor. To put it bluntly, the eunuchs' evil deeds were the result of the emperor's acquiescence. The Donglin Party's fight with the eunuchs was, in the final analysis, a challenge to the imperial power. These Donglin Party members talk about "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" every day. They clearly know that the Eunuch Party is the emperor's minions, and they are the emperor who wants to check and balance the forces they deliberately support. They will fight to the end. The Eunuch Party has corrupted the greedy members of the Donglin Party. There are not a few people either.
When Li Zicheng entered Beijing, only a few eunuchs were left to guard Chongzhen. What about those Donglin Party members who usually shouted "Father"? They either knelt down and surrendered to Li Zicheng, or turned around and licked the Qing Dynasty. of the heel. The Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party were at each other's throats all day long, causing everyone in the court to be in a state of panic. How could they still think about governing the country? How could the Ming Dynasty, which was suffering from internal and external troubles, withstand such troubles?
After Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan, King Fu Zhu Yousong established the Nanming regime in Nanjing. The Donglin Party members immediately began to display their "art of struggle". This group of people either secretly manipulated or blatantly used the Nanming court to scheming and fighting for power all day long. The country They are almost dead and still scheming around there.
Another "unique skill" of the Donglin Party members is Qing Yi. What these people love to do most is to criticize the government and criticize this and that. On the surface, they are supporting justice and maintaining morality, but in fact they are just... Just fishing for fame and satisfying your own vanity.
Qian Qianyi was a famous man in the Ming Dynasty and was known for his aloofness. But when the Qing soldiers entered the country, he immediately changed his face and ran to serve as an official for the Qing Dynasty. Later, he even wrote a "basket-throwing collection" to record his surrender. Glorious” journey.
The Donglin Party also likes to engage in "party-like and anti-different" practices. Anyone who disagrees with them will immediately be labeled as a "traitor" or "villain". If this continues, everyone in the court will be in danger, who will dare to tell the truth? Chongzhen During that time, there was a minister named Huang Daozhou who was originally an upright man, but because he opposed some practices of the Donglin Party, he was labeled as a "remnant of the eunuch party". As a result, this loyal minister was forced to leave the court and died in depression. . This group of people chattered all day long, but when it was time for them to contribute, they shrank faster than anyone else. In the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign, Li Zicheng came to the city. What did the big guys of the Donglin Party do? They either fled or surrendered to the enemy. , those Donglin Party members who usually shout "Father", why are they missing now? The Donglin Party members are just a bunch of "keyboard warriors" who only know how to talk. They flaunt how noble and patriotic they are all day long, but when the country is in crisis, they can only escape or surrender. What qualifications do such people have to call themselves loyal ministers and good generals? Another fatal weakness of the Donglin Party is their lack of understanding of the actual national conditions. There is a serious disconnect in understanding. This group of people spend all day reading books from sages and talking in their study rooms, but they know nothing about the real difficulties facing the country.
Peasant uprisings in the Middle East and Forestry Party members always simply attribute the peasant uprisings to "robbery bandits" and believe that they can be quelled as long as they are severely punished and not given credit. They don't even think about why so many peasants have revolted. In fact, this reflects a deep-seated There are social conflicts and economic problems, but the Donglin Party members turn a blind eye to this and only cry for beatings and killings. During the Chongzhen period, peasant uprisings occurred one after another. The response of the Donglin Party was to send more troops to increase taxes, which was counterproductive. The increase in taxes made the farmers even more overwhelmed. The army increased but there was no money and food to distribute. Isn't this just trying to fight the fire with wages? The Donglin Party always boasted that "throw into confusion "We must first stabilize the outside world." It is ridiculously naive to think that as long as the inside is stable, foreign troubles will naturally be eliminated. In the late Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had grown into a powerful military force. If they did not actively prepare for war, they would simply rely on " Can Anne “solve the problem?”
As a result, under the influence of the Donglin Party members, the imperial court invested less and less in border defense. By the Chongzhen period, it could not even pay military salaries. How do you think this battle will be fought? The result of this approach is that everyone in the imperial court is in danger. No one dares to take the responsibility. Those who are capable do not dare to do anything for fear of being labeled as "treacherous ministers". Those who are incompetent are popular because they are good at flattering the Donglin Party members. During the reign of Emperor Chongzhen, he changed nearly 50 cabinet ministers. Many times, a minister was defeated by the Donglin Party after he had just become familiar with the business and had not had time to do anything. Isn't this delaying national affairs?
