Reflections on Life and Imperfection

A collection of fleeting thoughts, exploring the nature of humanity, morality, and the pursuit of meaning — though they might not be entirely accurate.

Humanity and Imperfection

I don't believe humans are innately moral beings. Perfection, outside of the realm of imagination, doesn't exist — and neither does the human. The concept of morality shifts and evolves constantly, while our instincts change very little over time. We're born with instincts, and it's only through education that morality begins to develop.

In reality, nothing is as flawless as society likes to portray it. We all share the same basic brain structure and functionality. Yet, only a few people stand out as truly unique and influential. I often wonder why society elevates certain individuals to the status of "success stories." This seems more like a sign of poor resource management than an actual recognition of achievement. Despite possessing the most advanced brain on the planet, many humans are stuck in monotonous, repetitive jobs like factory laborers. We clearly have the potential to do much more.

No One Is Truly Useless

As a child, I often faced criticism from those around me, which sometimes made me doubt myself. Of course, I understood that not all criticism was justified, but for some people, even mild criticism can feel like a heavy burden.

I firmly believe that no one is truly useless. If an object is considered useless, it means it's not fulfilling its purpose. But are we born as tools? Absolutely not. We are born for our own sake, with the freedom to choose our paths. We are the owners of our own lives.

The Question of the Soul

If dogs are said to have souls, then what about mosquitoes?

Without the framework of religion, perhaps the idea of a soul is just a human creation, designed to soothe our fears of mortality and the desire for something eternal.

The Emotional Nature of Humans

Our brains are governed by a mix of hormones. It's only natural that we, as humans, are emotional beings. It’s unrealistic to expect to be calm and rational all the time. Emotions are an integral part of who we are, and perhaps we seek wisdom endlessly because it's something we can never fully possess.

Fate Doesn't Require Meaning

Much like how no one considers the meaning of every video they watch, trying to find deep significance in life can feel pointless to me. Sometimes, simply living and having fun is enough.

The Pursuit of Joy

I’ve spent countless hours struggling to learn new things, often questioning why I even bother. Is it just to put myself through suffering? But then I realize: the joy comes from uncovering truths, from solving problems. It's a shame that some people don't experience the pure joy of curiosity.

The Value of Leisure

I cherish my free time above all else. In today’s fast-paced world, we need more leisure, more time to just think. I've never understood how people find relaxation in distractions like watching short videos. To me, there’s nothing more relaxing than doing absolutely nothing.

The Dangers of Ultra-Processed Foods

I feel significantly better now that I've stopped consuming unhealthy, processed foods. It's a reminder of how much our bodies suffer when we don’t make mindful choices.

Human Language vs. Programming Languages

Programming languages, in their simplicity, are far more efficient than most human languages. With a fixed set of rules and keywords, programming languages eliminate ambiguity, which often plagues our everyday communication. Wouldn't it be better if human languages were more like programming languages in terms of clarity and effectiveness?
