Kepler , Galileo , Newton in the scientific undertakings has promoted the arrival of in the era of enlightenment. A new worldview and a new humanistic idea liberate humanity from superstition and blind retribution. However, it also led to the collapse of traditional beliefs and created a crisis of faith.
Man suddenly realized that the earth is not the center of the universe, we are not a unique existence in the universe, we are not much higher than other organisms on the earth, we are just evolutionary products of organisms adapting to the earth's environment, and share a set of genetic code with the same structure with all other organisms.
We are no longer born because of the preference of the gods, nor are we born on the mission of being the master of the world and all things. The common belief values that traditional human beings believe are meaningless. Our lives are destined to be nothing.
This is the background and meaning of Nietzsche 's life nihilism - when the meaning and purpose of human common belief no longer exist, our spiritual world will only be nothingness.
Nietzsche also gave a way to get out of nothingness, that is, to become a superman, relying on his strong willpower to find the value and meaning of life.
Yes. When the traditional so-called purpose and value of life are false fantasies created by human beings themselves, they give everyone a new opportunity. Each individual can give value to his or her life according to his or her own ideas.
We can ignore the opinions of society and parents' ideas, confirm which major to study for which school to study, choose our own career, decide who to be with, and decide whether to use a donation to save out-of-school children or protect giant pandas...
We can judge different values and meanings for different choices according to our own will.
This view of my life being the master of me has become one of the basic core concepts of the common values of human beings gradually established after the Enlightenment Age. We now call it - freedom.
This seems to us contemporary people that everyone should have innately, but it is something that human civilization has only gained after thousands of years of development. But until now, we often give up on him easily.
We heard others say that a certain major is easy to find a job, so we chose a certain major, we were under pressure from society or parents to find someone to get married, and after reading an Internet advertisement, we impulsively bought a product that we didn’t need...
It is easy to make a decision, but it is not easy to take responsibility for our own decisions.
Therefore, the opportunity for human beings to make decisions in their own lives that have been developed for thousands of years has been easily given up by us.
Because we have to bear possible negative consequences for our decisions, when we choose to make decisions for our lives, it also means we choose:
would rather have clear pain than be confused about happiness.
