The greatest pain for people who can predict the future, especially those who know their own future, is that they have no hope. They know what will happen in the future, but they are unable to change.
This was told to me by the footless old lady who could read the scriptures.
Although I think Du Tingwei's pain also originated from this, I did not speak for the sake of caution.
Xue Xiaomei said: "I can't imagine that if a person possesses unknown abilities, what else can be painful."
Du Tingwei got up and walked to the cabinet, took a saber with a sense of time from it, and said: "This is the gold inlaid saber once worn by Napoleon. Napoleon's military talent can be called a rare genius level in hundreds of years. It was he who established the empire that never sets in the sun and ruled for life, but if Napoleon had the ability to predict and knew that he would be trapped on a small island and die in the end, he would certainly not feel happy about being in power for life. "
I immediately heard Du Tingwei’s overtones. He wanted to say that having the ability to predict is not something to be happy about. Just like Napoleon, if he had long known that he would die on an isolated island, he would definitely not think that being an emperor for a lifetime was a thing. Very good thing.
Xue Xiaomei, who works as a criminal investigator, can also hear the overtones, but she disagrees with Du Tingwei's views.
She said: "There is a problem with your statement. If Napoleon has the ability to predict, he will not attack Russia, nor will he fight the battle of Waterloo. That way, he can avoid defeat."
Du Tingwei looked at me for a long while, as if wishing me to say something. Seeing that I did not say anything, he was a little disappointed, and then said slowly: "You don't seem to understand yet. I just said he has the ability to predict, but I didn't say he Has the power to change what will happen in the future."
Xue Xiaomei pondered for a moment, and said: "I understand now. You mean, even if Napoleon has the ability to predict, he still has to fail and die on the island, but he knew this a long time ago, right?"
Du Tingwei nodded: "Yes, he is like reading history, and he himself is the protagonist of history. Think about it, what is the fun of being a man? He is like watching a movie that he has watched thousands of times. Movie, everything will happen, he has no power to change, he must accept everything; he has no hope,
Because of the final result, he knew all about it. Although he was sitting on the emperor's throne, he was no different from being trapped on a small island. "
The analogy of reading history books is so similar to that of an old woman without legs. However, the footless old woman can predict the future because she has a heavenly book, and Du Tingwei can predict the future because of a stone pillar.
But is there any potential connection between Shizhuzi and Tianshu
Xue Xiaomei said: "You mean, you are living like that without fun?"
Du Tingwei's face was pale, he put the saber once worn by Napoleon back to the counter, nodded and said: "The greatest pleasure in life is hope, but I have no hope. I knew what would happen! So, I am a hopeless person."
Xue Xiaomei lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was thinking about what life without hope would be like.
Du Tingwei said: “Everyone has a tomorrow, and for everyone, tomorrow is a new day. There are many new things waiting, and he doesn’t know in advance, even if he is going to die tomorrow, as long as he doesn’t I know, he is still happy today, but I..."
At this point, Du Tingwei stopped, the pained expression on his face became stronger and stronger. After half a day, he was struggling and finished the following words: "I know everything, so I am a person who has no tomorrow. !"
At this time, I wanted to comfort Du Tingwei with a few words, but when he thought of what he said and what he was talking about, he might have foreseen it, so he shut his mouth.
Du Tingwei gave out a wry smile and said: "You can't imagine this kind of pain. Think about it. I am still young now. I originally had a bright future. But now, I know everything about myself. I even know which day I will die for what, what a terrible thing is this? I live now, as if I’m watching a movie that I’ve watched hundreds of times, everyone’s lines are remembered very clearly, you say What fun is there in this kind of life? What's the point?"
I was lost in thought, as if I could feel the pain of being firmly bound by fate but unable to break free.
Du Tingwei suddenly laughed nervously, and said: "You said that the power of foreknowledge is very enviable.
But the result of my personal experience is: that is the most painful thing! "
Only then did I remember that I had something to say. I said, "Actually, what you said is too absolute. You said you can't change the known facts, but in fact, you can."
Du Tingwei immediately stared at me, as if I could help him find a ray of light in the endless darkness.
"For example, when we started following you, you resisted, but some of the words I said yesterday touched you, and then you started to accept us and brought us here to see the God of the Jungle. If you The result was foreseen from the beginning, and you won't hit me anymore."
The luster in Du Tingwei's eyes dimmed, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, such a small thing can be changed. But I can't change my destiny. For example, I can't let you not keep following me, I can't change you will eventually know My secret, I know that the Hutuo Bridge will collapse, but I cannot change the fact that the Hutuo Bridge will collapse."
Xue Xiaomei said: "But it has changed after all."
"This change is only temporary, because although some things have changed, they will eventually return to his original trajectory."
His words shocked me a lot. All the changes will return to their original trajectories. Doesn’t that mean that although my dad has escaped a catastrophe, it is only temporary. In the not-too-distant future, he will encounter A car accident
I just wanted to ask, Du Tingwei immediately said to me: "I know what you want to ask, and the answer is yes. The disaster can be avoided temporarily, but it can't be avoided. Don't ask me if there is any way to solve it, because I also do not know."
Xue Xiaomei murmured: "In fact, it's not bad to change your experience in small things. For example, you can buy a lottery ticket and use the money earned from the lottery to enjoy your life until the end of your life."
"For a death row inmate, what mood does he have to enjoy before execution?"
Xue Xiaomei and I were both surprised and asked: "Your death date is approaching?"
Du Tingwei shook his head: "No!"
Xue Xiaomei hurriedly asked: "Then why do you feel like a death row prisoner before execution? Everyone is going to die. As you said, no one is in any happy mood anymore?"
