Chapter 2442 The gift is your life

"Why do you ask me this question?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

Hearing this, Lolita was silent for a while, then she grasped the corner of her clothes, her eyes turned red, and her breathing became rapid:

"Mr. Chen... I... I am very afraid of death..."

Chen Mo said softly: "It is normal to be afraid of death. There are really few people in this world who are not afraid of death. Those who say they are not afraid of death are more panicked than others when facing death."

Lolita shook her head: "No, I am different from others.

I have been very afraid of death since I was a child.

I remember that since kindergarten, when I just remembered things, I realized one thing-everyone will die!

One day I will disappear from this world, and my consciousness, feelings, memories, emotions, etc. will all be gone!

From that time on, I began to be afraid.

As I grew older, this fear did not lessen, but became more and more severe.

When I thought about dying and disappearing, my chest felt blocked, I felt nauseous and retched, and I vomited everything I ate. Sometimes I even felt so uncomfortable that my hands and feet were numb, and my head was like a layer of fog... Huh~~~ Huh~~~~"

As she spoke, Lolita clearly showed signs of discomfort, her whole body trembled, and her breathing became more and more rapid.

Chen Mo quickly helped Lolita sit down and patted her chest to help her breathe.

When she was relieved a little, she continued: "I have tried to believe in various messy religions, but it's useless.

They say that believing in God will give you eternal life, but I can't see anyone's eternal life;

They say that believing in Buddha will lead to reincarnation, but if I really reincarnate and lose my memory, will I still be me?

They say there is everything in heaven, but my biggest wish is to live forever in the world, with my own memories and feelings, and see the vicissitudes of life."

"I don't care about the death of relatives, I enjoy loneliness;

I don't care about aging and illness, I would rather live forever with illness all over my body than die naturally in good health;

I don't care about children, they are just copies of my incomplete genes;

Some people say that eternal life is a curse, in that case, let me bear this endless loneliness and solitude forever! Let me taste this endless curse in this infinite dead cycle! Until eternity..."

From Lolita's slightly crazy words, Chen Mo got a message.

This child should be sick.

Anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other diseases will be complicated by "panic attacks".

When a "panic attack" occurs, people will be particularly afraid of death, and even feel on the verge of death, which will cause vomiting, nausea, dizziness, and accelerated heartbeat. At this time, it is very easy to mistakenly call 120 to go to the hospital for rescue.

So Chen Mo said softly: "Child, maybe you should go to the hospital to see a sedative. Sedatives can solve your problem."

Lolita shook her head: "It's useless. I went to the mental hospital and the doctor said I had "death anxiety disorder", but I have never seen it so serious.

I have tried cognitive behavioral therapy, imaging consultation, exercise therapy, and taking sedatives, etc., and none of them worked at all."

Chen Mo lowered his eyes slightly and began to think.

What is the meaning of life?

No one knows the answer, but every life will eventually die, and no creature can be an exception.

Although organisms can continue to reproduce, each individual is independent. At the same time, resisting death is the instinct of organisms. All organisms are unwilling to face death. In the face of death, organisms will burst out unimaginable potential.

So why doesn't life choose immortality, but choose to pass on its genes by reproducing offspring? From a biological point of view, the meaning of the existence of organisms is to reproduce, in other words, to pass on their genes. From this point of view, immortality may not be a good thing.

For example, the life span of the Greenland shark can reach more than 500 years. Scientists have discovered a 512-year-old shark, which means that it has lived from the Ming Dynasty to today. These sharks live in the cold deep sea. Because of the special environment of the deep sea, their metabolism is very slow, and because of the lack of natural enemies, their life span is extremely long. They only become adults at the age of 156. If they want to reproduce, they need to live for more than a century.

However, living so long is not a good thing. Most sleeper sharks have copepod parasites on their eyes, which can cause blindness. Fortunately, deep sea does not require particularly good vision, otherwise these sharks may become extinct because of these parasites.

The longer these sleeper sharks live, the higher the probability of being parasitized. At the same time, because of their long lifespan, they need to endure the pain of parasitism in their eyes for a long time, which is unimaginable for humans, so immortality may not be a good thing.

Because immortality does not mean that you will not get sick. Over a long period of time, the probability of being troubled by diseases is higher than that of ordinary creatures. At the same time, because of their long lifespan, they may have to endure pain for a long time like sleeper sharks.

Therefore, immortality may not be a good thing, but a painful curse.

From the perspective of physics, the existence of life is to fight against entropy increase, constantly obtain negative entropy from the surrounding to reduce its own entropy increase. However, no matter how hard life tries, it is impossible to stop entropy increase. It can only slow down the process of entropy increase and make the maximum entropy come later. For life, the maximum entropy is death.

This is destined to make immortality impossible no matter how hard we try! Because immortality is equal to infinite time, and infinite time is equal to infinite possibilities. For example, if an immortal creature appears on the earth, it can be forever young and will not be troubled by aging.

But there will still be many things that threaten this creature, such as asteroids hitting the earth, earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters.

All of them may have an impact on this creature. After all, this creature is only immortal, not indestructible. Even if this creature survives these disasters with scientific and technological means.

Then 5 billion years later, the sun will leave the main sequence state and begin to expand continuously, causing the earth to leave the habitable zone of the galaxy. The earth will become extremely hot, and there will be no way for immortal creatures at this time.

There are so many pains in just a few decades of life. How painful will infinite time be? Even if you can live forever, it is painful for ordinary people.

The reason why Lolita can say such high-sounding words is because she has not tasted the pain of illness and the death of her loved ones.

Chen Mo doesn't believe that a person can really endure eternal loneliness and even the torture of illness to live forever.

With this thought, Chen Mo perfunctorily said: "Eternal life is not a good thing at all! God is fair to everyone. Even if you really live forever, your luck may be extreme, but because of the principle of fairness, your misery may also be extreme, so eternal life may be worse than death!

Instead of fantasizing about eternal life, it is better to cherish the present and live every day of your own!"

Lolita's eyes turned cold: "Mr. Chen, your answer makes me feel perfunctory."

"Maybe, I can make it clearer."

"Remember what I said before, I will give you a super luxurious gift if you solve the confusion?"

"This gift is the life of you and your bodyguards."
