Human Survival Game: From Biological Instincts to Genetic Dilemmas
In modern society, once you engage in the games they design, you have no choice but to play along. Just like the body's instinctive reactions: skipping a meal might give a momentary sense of relief, but the body will instinctively resist. This life that starts with 'eating' profoundly reveals the limitations of human choices.
From an ecological perspective, biological instincts serve the overall balance; however, in human society, it devolves into a typical 'mutual harm model'. Money and wealth, at their core, are quantitative indicators of survival status, directly reflecting the struggle for limited living space among individuals. Humans have cleverly packaged this brutal competition as a 'game', bestowing it with a noble name — 'the meaning of life'. From corporate benchmarks in office buildings to victims in financial markets (like the Green Scene NEO case), countless individuals are lost in this game, believing they are pursuing success.
Throughout human history, we have been searching for a way to break through this genetic dilemma. The underlying logic of survival competition is deeply embedded in our genes, making it hard to shake off. However, there have historically been wise individuals who transcended through unique experiences, with the Buddha being a prime example. The path of awakening he showcased reminds us: perhaps only by stepping out of the material game framework and re-examining our inner essence can we achieve true liberation.
In today's era, financialization and capital logic have pushed survival competition to its extremes. We seem to have countless choices, yet we are tightly bound by bodily instincts, social rules, and quantified wealth. Recognizing this essence might be the first step toward freedom. What we need is not just success on a material level, but also awareness and transcendence of the 'game' itself. Only then can humanity find its true meaning in the long course of evolution. #DASH
