Chen Shi has been going to chat with an old man these days. Chen Shi also met this man by chance. He is an old customer at his parents' restaurant.

It was just a chance chat. After Chen Shi and the old man chatted for a few words, Chen Shi was enlightened.

The old man is seventy-six years old this year and is in good health. The old man did not tell Chen Shi's name or tell Chen Shi about his past. He just asked Chen Shi to call him "Old Qin" and Chen Shi called him Old Qin.

Lao Qin likes to sit in Mochou Lake every afternoon, and Chen Shi will also go there to chat with him and play chess.

Lao Qin is the person Chen Shi thinks the most grandfather-like person so far, but his grandfather is a bit like Chen Shi's grandfather.

It is already four o'clock in the afternoon, and it is New Year's Eve after tonight.

Chen Shi and Lao Qin sat in the pavilion and drank tea. Chen Shi specially placed two thermoses of hot water and tea sets in the trunk of the car.

There were not only tea and pastries brought by Chen Shi on the stone table, but the two of them were just chatting.

"Old Qin, I want to ask you something, what is the hardest in this world?" Chen Shi asked.

Mr. Qin took a sip of tea, then looked at Chen Shi and said, "The most difficult choice. For example, a stray dog ​​ran to you, licked you, and stuck to you. As long as you spend five minutes with this dog, you will leave it here for ten minutes. After ten minutes, you will want to take it back to adopt it.

After you took it back, you found that the dog is seven or eight years old, and has many diseases and bad habits, such as not being able to take care of itself. It is better to spend a lot of time and experience for it and make yourself worry. But in the end, you are reluctant to give up because of it and want it to have a beginning and an end.

There is another possibility. After you take it back and discover some problems, you abandon it again. Only by abandoning it again and again will the dog learn to please it when meeting people, you can be adopted, take a bath and have a good sleep, and abandoning it will hurt it again.

When you first meet a dog, you should think about it. If you don’t have the time and energy, and do not have the ability to raise it without delaying your life, you are not afraid of all kinds of problems. You are making choices, rather than making decisions with impulse and touch.

For example, when you see that dog, if you feel that you can't raise it well, at most, buy some food for it, then turn around and leave, don't stay, or help it find someone who is capable of raising it.

A decision is to control emotions and then make the most appropriate decisions through deductions. However, this kind of person is often unhappy because he thinks too thoroughly, and there will be no surprises in life. He has seen through life. If there is no fun to live, he will even find that he may have lived in vain and missed too many times."

Chen Shi nodded and said, "I am in this state now. I plan things too clearly. Instead, I feel like I am doing tasks every day. I feel like a machine, doing pre-set programs to complete. How should I break it?"

Mr. Qin thought for a long time and said, "When you meet some people you once knew again, you will find many interesting things, such as if you think a classmate in your elementary school should be like that, but now it is beyond your understanding, because your solidified thinking has also solidified him.

This is called re-experience of life through the perspective of others. It is to look at their life changes. If you look at it very quickly, you will have new insights.”

Chen Shi nodded and asked another question: "What is the most terrifying thing in this world?"

"Tell you a few stories, saying that a very famous martial artist in a country has passed away. Who is the first person to act? He wants to make a profit from it. For example, the publisher will find some writers to start making up stories and make up some fictitious stories for the martial artist.

For example, this martial artist can penetrate rocks with bare hands, and his strength can be the same as a tiger. How many foreign martial artists have he defeated? Who did this show?

It is for the fans of martial artists to show that only by writing this way can they pay for it. If you write that martial artists die under pomegranate skirts or smoke and drink, there is no selling point.

In addition to publishing houses, of course, they are film and television companies, printing factories, auction companies, some familiar people in front of them, etc., and try every means to make a profit from it.

The only thing in common about making profits from it is to make up a perfect person that everyone loves, so that they can get the maximum benefits.

In addition to these, of course there are other stakeholders, such as some who need this martial artist to help improve their reputation, such as the school he went to, his university major, and even where he went to worship gods and Buddhas and what he believed in.

If you can't tell which of these are true and which are false, then once something that doesn't match what you believe comes out one day, you will collapse, become angry, and even block the truth and are unwilling to accept it.

Just like some people are talking about the soul in a straightforward way, saying that the soul weight is 21 grams, and everyone is studying this, then you know that anyone with a little knowledge and a little medical foundation will not be able to study it. So who is studying it? It is easy to believe in a lifetime by just one sentence.

The saying that the soul weighs 21 grams was obtained by the American surgeon Duncan and McDoull in the early 2000s. He found six elderly people whose lives were about to end and measured the weight changes of the six elderly people when they died. He found that the weight of a person would lose 21 grams after death. Therefore, it was concluded that the weight of a person's soul was 21 grams.

Later, he repeated the experiment on more than a dozen dogs and found that there was no change in the dogs, so he concluded that an animal had no soul.

If you don't check it, then you won't know how tragedy it is behind this experiment. There were only six elderly people who were observed, the data was not convincing, and the theory obtained was too hasty. Among these six observers, only one of them lost 21 weight after their death, and the other few people only lost a few grams of weight after their death, some did not change, and some even increased a few grams.

In other words, the weight loss of 21 grams is an example. The deceased who lost 21 grams lost an average of 28 grams per hour during his lifetime. This is a normal water loss caused by the evaporation of breathing and sweat. What is strange is that Duncan Michael Dull is not sure what purpose it is, or thinks that the number twenty-one is his auspicious number?

Ignoring the other five observation subjects, I did not mention the water loss caused by sweat evaporation, and only published the data on the only weight loss of 21 grams, and claimed that this was the weight of the soul. The entire experimental process, including the medical community's ridicule of this experiment at that time, as for why weight loss occurred and why dogs did not lose weight.

Because some individuals will have a faster heartbeat and raise body temperature during their dying period, breathing with large amounts of sweating causes water to evaporate rapidly, so why does the dog's weight not decrease? Because there are no sweat glands on the surface of the dog's body, and they do not have the ability to quickly sweat, just like humans do not have the ability to pass on the family line and fire without limit.

If you don't look at this from a scientific perspective, it's quite supernatural and romantic. This is why it can quickly attract attention. Duncan McDoull is very clear about how people pay attention. It is not ruled out that the publisher asked him to do this at that time. This publication was not for the industry to read.

Animals compare with humans and create topicality, and then the soul comes out and the topicality and interest points. When giving an accurate number, the data obtained by the doctors' experiments increases credibility. Then some people will believe this for the rest of their lives or descendants, and study this every day without pursuing the source.

Just as some people say that the end of science is theology, science is inherently inconsistent with theology, so who said this statement? Who can bring benefits to? Why do you say that?
