Both of them showed a surprised expression, so I told them that this blue screen is their current status, and this will also track their progress, providing real time details of their growth for them. I also explained to them about the other features of these watches in detail.
Soon, they get used to the system interface and try to explore more features in it. Cough! I coughed a little to attract their focus on me and said, "disciples, I know you are curious about your new home and gadgets, but we can explore it later. But for now, let's start our first class in this place, so take comfortable positions around me and keep your focus on me."
Hearing this, they immediately followed my command and sat around me. After they took their position, I started my lectures. This time I gave a lecture about philosophy. I talked about the philosophy of life, how life is such an amazing and unpredictable thing. I asked both of them, "Disciples, tell me what is life?"
Lu Xiaoran: "master, as far as I know, life is a magical thing which makes us what we are. Without life, I don't think anything is possible, so I think life is something that is like a boon given to us by our creator."
Roman: "Yes, master, I agree with the young master's statement that we cannot define life, even the people who practice the law of life to the extreme fail to determine its true meaning. Life is everything; at the same time, it is nothing. We cannot define life as it is the very thing that gives this world a definition; if there is no living, then there is just nothing, no one can discover and define this world in their own terms."
Hearing their words, I felt a little bit satisfied as my student knows a little bit of philosophy. Lu Xiaoran's answer was beautiful, and Roman's answer explained a lot about his thoughts. Now that I have heard both of their answers, I told them my thoughts, "Disciples, both of your answers are very good and right in their own sense. You know, topics like life don't have any fixed meaning or definition, as their definition changes from the point of view of the person who is trying to define them. So, my disciples there can be billions or trillions of answers for the same question, [what is life?]."
Hearing my words, both of them contemplated it for some time, then Lu Xiaoran, showing a curious expression, raised his hand and said, "Master, I have a question."
I said, "Then ask the disciple."
Lu Xiaoran: "Master, I want to hear your answer to the question, what is life?"
I thought a little bit about it and said, "Disciple, if you want to hear my answer, then I have a simple definition about life, for me, life is just an error."
Hearing my answer, both of them showed a confused expression, and this time, Roman asked, "Master, can you elaborate a little, as we don't know how you came to that conclusion that life is an error."
Expecting this question, I said, "Think about this, disciples, have you ever seen any order in life? If you look from the point of view of a sad person, life is chaotic, and at the same time, did you see any chaos? If you see it from the point of view of a happy person, life is orderly. But neither of them is correct state of life. Actually, life is just an error that occurred in this perfect universe. Let's take an example, imagine if you are the creator of this world and you created a perfect world with all laws working perfectly, but then something strange happens, the matter which is supposed to have no consciousness suddenly develops it and starts behaving strangely. This matter takes different forms, some with high intelligence, some with high strength, and some with both. This matter, gaining consciousness, starts calling itself living. But then something different happens, those beings called living suddenly started to lose their consciousness after some time or because of some factors. They started to call this phenomenon death now life, which is already an error, develops another error, which is death, and to overcome this death, all living beings tried their everything."
"They don't know why, but all living beings have an inherent fear of death in them; they thought that they could overcome this fear and death after achieving an infinitely long life. Those beings call this dream immortality which soon become dream of every living being, they did everything to achieve from killing each other to plundering resources of their world and they even bend the laws of this universe to gain energy which makes them have life so long that they are almost immortal but still they have fear of death they still had hunger to grow more to become immortal."
"You know disciples there are fools who call them with great titles like immortal and god, but they are nothing but fools who do everything they can to achieve this immortality. There are beings who betrayed everyone they loved only because they think that only the fittest one could achieve immortality and live infinitely, but in my eyes, they are just puppets, arrogant puppets who are controlled by their desire, controlled by this error called life. You know, there is nothing called infinite because as long as you have the power to calculate, even the infinite path will have values, and there are mortals far smarter than those self-claimed immortals who, even with a short life of 3 to 4 decades, calculated the value of immortals' most beloved infinity."
"Life is a very confusing topic. Those who understand it halfway thought that death is the only redemption, as it may be some kind of mechanism to fight this error created by the universe, but they are wrong. Death is just a part of life. You can say that death is created by life because it understands that without leaving older things behind, we can not grow. So death is just an extension of this error called life. But here comes the most important topic: what can we do? And the answer is nothing we can do, nothing as our very self is life itself, but knowing the true nature of life still makes us far ahead of those who are still running in a race, fighting everything to achieve immortality, only to discover that they need to grow more to achieve it."
"So my disciples' life is an error, an error, and error had a special quality, and that is that they never subtract, only add and grow more in quantity. Life is just like that, a never ending error occurred in this universe, an error that only wants to remain forever, an error that stops at nothing, even in the most catastrophic events, life survives, it can take any form, there are living creatures that are impossible to imagine, but they still had life. So life is an error, and the only perfect thing in this universe is nothingness, absolute nothingness."
