In "Immortal", Milan Kundera once divided the human soul into two types, one is the soul who does addition, and the other is the soul who does subtraction.
Adding people must constantly express themselves, highlight themselves, let people see themselves walking on the street, hear their own opinions and voices, and have inextricably connected with the world, otherwise they will feel lost The meaning of life.
Kundera said that this kind of people are the majority. People get married and have children, constantly communicate and speak, wear fancy clothes, take photos and pose, all subconsciously to let more people remember themselves, to let the world see themselves, This emphasizes the existence of the self.
On the other hand, people who do subtraction feel that they have nothing to do with the world, and hope to live a peaceful life without being disturbed. They feel that the world is a prison, and they always want to escape from prison, so they automatically reduce the noise of their souls and reduce their sense of existence to zero, hoping to secretly dig a hole to another world one day, and disappear from it. Find.
Kundera said that these two souls would be very dangerous to go to extremes. The danger of adding a soul is that one's self will be too expanded, while the danger of a subtracting soul is that it will eventually lose its voice, and the sense of existence will die out. This zero is not death, it's just zero.
