Chapter 99 Chapter 5 Dawn is far away on the other side (6)

But what if you don't look at it from a human perspective?Then there is no need for sorrow, not even the concept of sorrow.Humans, like all creatures on the earth, have lived, died, and those who survive continue to live, that's all.Whether it is violent death, sudden death, quiet death, lonely death, group death, natural disaster, or war, the result is the same. Only human beings grieve over death. And nature does not use man's point of view.It combines the birth and death, increase and decrease, defilement, withering and prosperity of all things. Nature does not need human viewpoints, and nature has no human sorrow.

Looking at the thriving thorny asparagus bushes on the outskirts of the dead village, Marty reflected on his experiences at sea.She was furious that Jesus would not rescue a giant fish because she was full of human emotion and Jesus was not.Because Jesus had no human feelings, the death of the fish was no distress to him, so the death of the village was no burden to him. Is human emotion a noble essence, or an unevolved symbol bound in a cocoon?Marty was lost in thought.A brand new feeling is emerging. Looking down at this little green wilderness from the mountain, the sentimentality brought to her by the dead village is fading.

Jesus stood up at this moment and continued walking up the mountain, and Marty followed in his footsteps. The next mountain was much more treacherous. Even if he stepped on the footsteps of Jesus, Marty still lost his balance from time to time and walked dangerously.Jesus always reached out his hand to help her at the most critical moment, so that she would not slip off the cliff.The biting cold wind blew, drying the sweat on her head, bringing a burst of coolness.They buried their heads in the climb, and before they knew it, it was dusk. The physical load has reached the limit, Marty's legs are weak, his hands are shaking, and he can't hold the rock wall. They have climbed the middle section of the mountain.Marty looked up at the top of the mountain in the twilight, and saw that the pointed peak of the mountain was not far ahead, and there seemed to be a tree at the top.It is unbelievable that on this dead and dry mountain, even an inch of grass has to go through hardships to survive, and a whole tree grows on the top of that mountain.

The last section of the mountain was too steep, and Marty estimated that it would take several hours to climb to the top, and she was too tired at the moment, and she just wanted to sit down and rest.Fortunately, Jesus stopped before a huge rock, spread out his blanket and sat down, which indicated that he was going to spend the night here.On the rock wall not far from the giant rock, there is a horizontal natural depression, which prevents the cold wind from entering, and just allows Marty to sit and lie comfortably in it.She spread out her blanket in the alcove. After sitting in the cave, Marty saw the orange sunset glow in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help coming out of the cave again, looking down the mountain.She was overwhelmed by the sight in front of her.

They are now at a height close to the clouds.Looking down from here, the earth is a brand new landscape. The dead village was out of sight, and the thorny asparagus bushes that looked like giant green hands were fading into a pale green trail.Those deaths and those thriving vitality are all blurred and lost their shockingness when viewed from this height. Full of magnificence and full of purpose, only the blue sea and the west-slanting sunset remain.Looking down from the mountain, there is only yellow land, blue sea, and orange-red sky in front of you.Life is too small among these three, too small, just a dust attached to the surface of the earth.

Where the sea hits the land, it should be snow-white waves, right?It's not visible from here, but Marty remembers the surf at the beach.It was there that she met Jesus.A million years later, Marty, Jesus, and all the life around her will no longer exist, and maybe even their descendants will also be extinct, but the sky and the earth will last forever, and the waves will still hit the shore in a million years .The tide comes, the tide goes, only those who don't use their mind to calculate the time can get rid of the fiddling of time. And the living life, how short and insignificant it is in the eternal world, spends its whole life shining brightly, thinking that it has achieved something and changed something, but in fact it has not even left a trace.People are dust in the wind.Marty thought of her hard life in Taipei for many years, those land battles, those freedom fights, even if they won, what was it?People are just dust in the wind, coming from nothingness, and finally nothingness, what is there to worry about?Even if you don't worry about anything, the result is still the same. Compared with inanimate life, life itself is just as empty and meaningless.

Marty was confused because of this period of thinking. He felt that he was a bit like an electric machine, because there was only a flash of thought in his heart, but in a blink of an eye, he found that the sky was full of stars, the moon was in the sky, and the blue sea in front of him It's gone long ago, leaving only the gloomy world and the same color.She was taken aback and found that she had been standing on the edge of the cliff. How long had she been standing?I don't know, her watch has long been discarded.Marty turned back to look at Jesus. At this time, she was full of emptiness about life. How she wished to get a little voice and an answer from Jesus.Marty found Jesus lying on the blanket, sleeping peacefully.

Jesus went to bed very early tonight. Marty stayed up all night, looking at the bright stars in the sky, she thought over and over again what is the meaning of life?What is the meaning of life? At dawn the next day, after Jesus got up, he was in no hurry to get on the road.After he and Marty ate their dry food, they sat up quietly in the morning light. Marty, who hadn't slept all night, was very energetic, and her legs and arms didn't hurt anymore, so she sat with her legs crossed and followed Jesus.This sat for a long time until noon. Jesus found a spring in a crevice, and he and Marty took turns filling the jug.

They climbed the mountain from noon.Now even Jesus is using all fours, and Marty follows him closely, because the way up is too difficult, and Jesus needs to pull her at any time. The mountain wind whistled behind him, and Marty imitated Jesus and tied the hem of his robe tightly in front of his abdomen to reduce wind resistance.Like spiders, the two of them slowly climbed over several nearly vertical rock walls. In the most dangerous section, Jesus cut his blanket, connected a long rope, and hung Marty on him.Matty silently accepts the bondage of Jesus.From beginning to end, Jesus didn't speak to her, he didn't even meet her eyes.

At dusk that day, the sky was very strange. From the east to the west of the sea, the sky was filled with dazzling golden light. Rolling cumulus clouds quickly covered the sea, and even the clouds were filled with saturated red gold.Jesus lifted Marty to the top of the mountain, where only a few people could stand on the sharp rocks, and Ben Yun ran past him.There is a tree at the top of the mountain, not a big tree, it should be said that it is a bush that grows very tall.Its nearly black stems are covered with black thorns, and it has no leaves, no flowers, and probably not even life.This is a tree that grows strangely on the top of the mountain without knowing whether it is dead or alive.
