The Villain Who Couldn't Become a Hero
I have a profound interest in metaphysics and seek to express phenomena and emotions that exist between the real world and possible worlds through my unique poetic interpretation.
Each person's world is shaped by their personality, mindset, background, and beliefs. The coexistence of individuals who hold different truths creates diversity, but also conflict and violence. It is natural to fight for one's 'self' or for what one believes to be true, as these are matters of subjectivity. Ironically, however, there can be no 'I' without a 'you'. I see the differences between us in our inevitably intertwined relationships as glitches that manifest in the real world. These glitches offer an uncanny perspective on understanding the world.
I always entertain the idea that there exists another world beyond what we see and feel. Reflecting on this, I hope that the beings we miss, who are no longer present in this world, still exist somewhere else. My sincere wishes may seem trivial, but they have evolved into a responsibility to uphold this hope as a well-reasoned logic grounded in scholarly knowledge, not just a personal desire. Thus, I began exploring philosophical and scientific knowledge related to metaphysics.
To argue that our world is not the only, absolute one, I first needed to challenge its perceived perfection. The virtual world and digital elements serve as references for this challenge. To determine whether our universe functions like a virtual reality, similar to a computer program, we must identify the key differences between the intuitively understood real world and man-made computer programs.
The distinction between virtual and physical reality lies in their density and concentration. If a hologram without substance becomes dense enough to be tangible, can we still consider it virtual? The difference between virtual and physical realities is essentially a difference in resolution. The real world is intricately constructed, and the resources that compose it are finite. There is always a void or crack somewhere, the destination of which is unknown. The fact that our universe operates with limited resources has been confirmed by numerous experiments and scientific discoveries. The notion of the universe's limits is increasingly supported by plausible hypotheses. Major discoveries, such as relativity and quantum mechanics, enrich and inspire my musings. The more I mathematically decode the seemingly random universe, the more ideological these concepts appear, becoming logical rather than nebulous narratives.
Nietzsche’s concept of eternal recurrence and Eastern philosophy’s reflections on humanity and nature offer a perspective that transcends time and space, guiding us toward a different mode of thought. If our lives are not dictated by personal choices, if neither coincidence nor fate exists, and if everything is merely a phenomenon shaped by the infinite repetition of causality, can life still hold meaning? Nietzsche suggests that the true way to overcome this nihilism is through the concept of the Übermensch (Superman), while Buddhism presents nirvana as a state of ultimate liberation.
Nature remains ever silent, governed solely by the immutable laws of physics. Within this unchanging landscape, the only force in motion is human desire and emotion. This leads to the question: could heaven and hell be not external, absolute realms but rather psychological and philosophical constructs created by the human mind? Traditionally, heaven and hell are envisioned as absolute, unchanging spaces where nothing, not even time, fluctuates, and all things operate according to a predetermined order. However, humans, by their very nature, disrupt this absolute order, experiencing a spectrum of emotions—happiness and suffering alike. In the end, heaven and hell are not external destinations to be sought but rather conceptual states that we create and experience within ourselves.
