Chapter 103 Philosophical Questions (3)
Shen Yue brought Kang Ruxin to the riverside, and the two sat down on a bench, with the wide river in front of them.The river was quiet and silent, but there was a cold wind blowing from the river, making Kang Ruxin's hair slightly blown away.Shen Yue gently held her hand, feeling her cold palm.

What Shen Yue needed was a place like this, with a wide view and quiet surroundings.

"Now, has your father appeared?" Shen Yue asked, his voice soft, but his eyes were looking into the distance.

Kang Ruxin shook her head and said, "No."

Shen Yue asked again: "Actually, the father in your illusion has always been the last impression you have of him. He is very young, is that so?"

Kang Ruxin nodded and said: "Yes. But he is so real, just like an ordinary person in the crowd. He will smile at me and talk to me." As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Yue, her face It became popular all of a sudden, and then continued: "He told me, you are a good person, let me not miss you..."

Just now when she said this, Kang Ruxin felt Shen Yue gently wrapping her arms around her waist, and at the same time heard his gentle voice ringing in her ears: "Thank you, Ruxin."

Kang Ruxin didn't understand what he meant for a moment, and asked, "What are you thanking me for?"

Shen Yue said: "This is actually your own inner voice, isn't it?"

Kang Ruxin originally studied psychology, so of course she understood the meaning of Shen Yue's words, but this was not what she wanted to talk about.She said: "Shen Yue, in fact, sometimes I suspect that I may not be hallucinating. Really, I think my dad's appearance is so real. His smile, the expression and tone when he talked to me, really It's all very real, but sometimes when I want to hold his hand, he will suddenly disappear like a fog...Shen Yue, I remember you seem to have said that in fact, in psychological research, there is no denying Is it true that the soul exists?"

At this moment, Shen Yue suddenly realized that Kang Ruxin's problem was not so easy to solve.Illusion, in the final analysis, lies in the word "illusion".Although many of us know the phrase "what we see or hear is not necessarily true", but the huge impact of hallucinations on a person's heart is very unimaginable. Such impact is enough to make a People begin to doubt the world itself.Shen Yue understands that under such circumstances, the self-denial of both others and those with hallucinations is fragile, so it is too difficult to simply convince a person that what he sees with his own eyes is an illusion.Obviously, Kang Ruxin is rational. She said in front of Shen Yue more than once that she does not believe in ghosts and gods. In fact, it is her forcing herself to believe in atheism, but this still cannot convince her to forget that hallucination.

When encountering such a problem, counseling is the most correct way.However, counseling... He thought for a while, and said: "In fact, psychology originated from philosophy, such as the heart, you know that. What is philosophy? In the final analysis, it is our worldview. The world we live in is very complicated. When we cannot use science to explain some phenomena, we leave the problems to philosophy, and the problems that philosophy cannot explain are finally left to religion, such as the question of whether ghosts and gods really exist. Indeed, there are some phenomena that can show the existence of ghosts and gods But it can’t be proved, but religion can explain all of this. Ruxin, you don’t need to deliberately deny what you see. When you are alone, you can talk to your father calmly. If That is indeed not your illusion, it means that your father is still guarding you. Perhaps, when he sees that you are living happily without pain and trouble, he will leave you. "

Kang Ruxin murmured: "But, I don't want him to leave..."

This is the crux of the problem, Shen Yue thought in his heart.He nodded and said: "Then just let it be. I said, you are not mentally ill, and what you see may really be your father. Psychology does not deny people The existence of the human soul is just that we have not yet been able to use scientific methods to prove its existence. And from the perspective of philosophy and religion, the human soul also exists, because the soul is the soul of the human being.”

Kang Ruxin didn't expect him to say such words, and most importantly, what he said just now made Kang Ruxin feel lighter instantly, making her no longer as worried and fearful as before.However, Kang Ruxin couldn't completely believe his words, and was very curious at the same time, so she asked, "Is what you said true? Why must our souls exist?"

Shen Yue did not answer her question right away, but said: "Many of us see the life and death of others. Whether it is someone we are familiar with or a stranger, after they die, our own life remains the same. It goes on. We see other people die and turn to dust, as if death means disappearing forever, so we think that death is just disappearing, so we no longer believe in the existence of the soul."

Kang Ruxin hurriedly asked, "Isn't that so?"

Shen Yue shook his head and said, "No. Because very few people think about this issue from another angle, that is 'me'."

Kang Ruxin didn't understand, and asked, "Me?"

Shen Yue nodded, and said slowly: "Yes, 'I'. 'I' is the only one, and it is the world that no one else can fully enter. You think about 'I', it is yourself. You want to Think, close your eyes to meditate, think about 'I'... If 'I' dies, if 'I' really disappears with death, then, for 'I', the world that used to be, including' Did my parents, my friends, everyone I've ever known exist? Shouldn't have existed, should they? Because to me, my death is mine The end of the world. But now 'I' is really alive, in the world 'I' live in, 'my' parents, 'my' friends, everyone I know is real... Therefore, this is a contradiction, an unexplainable contradiction. Only the continued existence of the soul after the death of 'I' can explain the fact that 'I' has existed in this world. In a philosophical sense, only in this way, 'I' The world exists and is balanced. And it is religion that solves this problem, whether it is the existence of heaven or hell, or the theory of reincarnation, in the final analysis, it is to solve this problem.”

Just now, following Shen Yue's reminder, Kang Ruxin had closed her eyes and started to meditate.When she really entered the world of "I", she suddenly found that the world Shen Yue described was so profound.Yes, if "I" disappears completely with death, does the world that "I" is in now still exist?My parents, my colleagues, the work I do, and Shen Yue, don't all of these exist for the "me" after death? "I" never appeared? "I" is also illusory?So, who is it that illusory "I"?

She suddenly understands, suddenly understands that "I" must and can only exist in reality, even after she dies, "I" must and can only continue to exist, otherwise, the world of "I" will really exist. will collapse.Oh, Dad left this world, he just went to another dimension, maybe I will be able to meet him in the future... If so, why am I still so painful, so helpless, and so afraid?

Kang Ruxin suddenly felt an unspeakable relief from body to soul.She couldn't help but leaned gently into Shen Yue's arms, and said softly: "Shen Yue, thank you. It turns out that death is not as terrible as I always thought."

Shen Yue shook his head and said: "Of course death is terrible. Fear of death itself is one of our human instincts. However, who in this world can escape death? Therefore, the most important thing is to face it calmly. .”

Kang Ruxin nodded, her heart was relieved at this moment.She smiled and asked, "According to what you said, is there really heaven and hell?"

Shen Yue shook his head and said: "I don't know. But I don't think there will be any heaven and hell, because for each of us, the world after death should be equal. The so-called heaven and hell are just religious deterrents. The words of the world. Ru Xin, I know that your education will make you reject religion, but I want to tell you that religion is actually a kind of wisdom that can transcend death, and we also need legends about heaven and hell in this world .The living people must have a sense of fear, otherwise, our world will become disordered. Did you find out that the legendary heaven and hell actually have the same system as our world.”

Kang Ru thought for a while, nodded and said, "What you said seems to make sense...Shen Yue, whose theories are those you just said?"

Shen Yue suddenly laughed, and said: "This is entirely the result of my personal thinking. Psychology is inherited from philosophy, and I have to think about such issues, and I always think that maybe this is the truth of life and soul." Speaking of this, the tenderness in Shen Yue's heart rose again. He knew that it would take a long time for Kang Ruxin to get rid of the illusion, and the best way was to go out with her to relax.So he said to Kang Ruxin: "In a few days, you can accompany me back to your alma mater. I want to choose a few people. I must set up a psychological counseling center in the next year."

Kang Ruxin asked: "Is it okay for those who just graduated? Also, what about the few cases you have in hand?"

Shen Yue said with a smile: "Last time when we were investigating the Kan Sitong car accident case, I found that there were a few good psychiatrists, but it is also necessary to train new ones. There is no rush about the case. I have already read the case file, so there is not much time to waste. "

Of course Kang Ruxin was happy, and said, "That's great, I'll ask the Dragon Team for leave tomorrow."
