#ReadingMan #ReadingRadio #AudioBook #BookTuber E: [email protected] The book I will introduce to you today is a book written by Ichiro Kishimi based on the notes he kept for a long time while reading Meditations written by Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor about 2,000 years ago, and published under the title [Governing Myself Until I Die]. When the author was in college, he saw his mother collapse from a cerebral infarction and was on the verge of death. He said that he thought deeply about the problems of his own life, such as "Does life have meaning to humans even when they can't move their bodies and lose consciousness?" Everything is useless. Remembering and being remembered (4·35) Soon you will forget everything. And soon everything about you will be forgotten (7·21) If you realize that there is death at the end of life, what meaning will money or fame that you previously considered valuable have? Here, in contrast, Nietzsche's writing is introduced as follows in the prologue. In Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the story begins with Zarathustra, who "had not grown tired of his ten years of solitude," coming down from the mountain. One day, while searching for a spring, he came to a green meadow. There, girls were dancing arm in arm, and when they saw Zarathustra, they stopped dancing. Then he approached him in a friendly manner and said, "Girls, continue dancing. I have not come with a mischievous eye to disturb your play. I am not your enemy. Surely I am a forest, a deep and lush darkness. But he who does not fear my darkness will find a rose-lined path beneath my evergreen trees." The "deep and lush darkness" mentioned here is a metaphor for death. You don't have to stop dancing. A dancer says that even if death is waiting for him at the end of his life, he should continue to dance 'here and now'. Why can he say that? How can he continue to dance? Are there answers to many problems in life, not just death? However, the author says that philosophy is what allows you to gain some enlightenment by repeatedly asking questions, and that is how you come to know the hidden meaning of life. *Author_Kishimi Ichiro / Translator_Kim Ji-yoon / Publisher_Wisdom House *All videos on this channel were produced with permission from the copyright holder. *This content was produced with the creator's commentary and review of the book.
