Life is a process of refinements.

For the one who believes in Fate, regardless how thing turn out to be in life, the plans by Heaven will never be affected. If the Heaven”s plan is never to be affected :-

Across the generations, the way of human living has improves. In ancient time , we hunt for foods but now we cultivate & farms our foods. It is a process of refinements. This refinements are almost in all aspects at the broader persective.

At the micro perseptive or individual level , it is a process of refinements as well. We are refining the process or way of livings to become better day by day. Some ppl may question if living is a refinements process , how come I failed to achieve what other ppl are achieving ? How am I a part of this refinements concept?

In life , it is not necessary about succes. It could be about failure. If your life decision making leads you to failure , your failure will serve as the lesson to the other individual in their life process refinements. We may not achieve what other ppl have achieve in the life but every decision that we made in the daily life will be part of the refinements process. If our life is leading a better way compare to the other ppl, it will also serves as a good example for the other to follow. Every aspects of living is self correcting & self improving over time.

If today an older generation have made a mistake in their life, the older generation will advice their next generation to avoid a similar mistake. It is a processs of refinements.

If today a town Planner made a mistake in town planning & causes the massive heavy traffic , the lesson learn will be used for the future town planning to avoid the similar mistake - it is a proceed of refinements.

If today an individual failed his/her marriage or didn”t manage to find their life partner - their life decision making which leads to their state can be used by the people of younger generation to prevent falling into such state. It is the process of refinements.

Human lifespan is short ~ about 80 years cycle , it could be intended in such way by Fate. We are not the generation of the very first beginning & do not know what were happened since the creation of world. There is always a room to either to doubt or believe, it is conditioned in such on purpose.

In life, we are subjected 6 desires and 7 emotions inevitably. If it is inevitable, it only means we are suppose to learn , deal & embrace it as part of living while in this world.

Regardless you make it or not make it in life, you happy or not happy , you are part of the refinements process in the broader persective.

Hi.

If I may point out a typo: 6 desires and 7 emotions.

七情六欲,对吗?

Hindu think Buddhism is just another branch of Hinduism. Hence the similarities.

Buddhism teaches that nothing is permanent. So nirvana is also not permanent.

Strange. I have different way of viewing it but not from the Buddhism. Rather I believe the memories experienced by each individual during their lifetime will be immortalized. Some memories were great memories as it still the impacts the life even after the passing of the individual. Hence, built the beautiful & meaningful memory while we are still alive & kicking.

If you think memories can be recycled, then it points to reincarnation.

I feel it is more like a memory can be copied/adapted. Maybe can be said as recycled or it can be copied, which resulted the living individual to have the past generation memories.

Recycled, the memories stay with the individual even after reborn (it didn't happen most of the time). The copied/adapted memories, the different individual at different era gained access to other individual's past memories and resonates well with it.

The recycled memories, the existing individual do not need to leave behind any of their works in form of writings, arts, composed songs, findings, etc.

The copied/adapted memories, the existing individual left behind theirs works in form of writings, arts, composed songs, findings, etc, in order for the future generation to pick up what left by them, to be studied, utilized & further improvised.

At my younger age, I have no tolerance toward certain subjects. Now at present time, I can have such high tolerance and acceptance toward certain subjects, which make it feel so strange.

Personally, I don't like the incarnation concept. It leaves the option for living being to screw up or give up their current life in the hope that they can restart by reincarnation. Ppl will not put 100% effort in their "this" life. I prefer the concept that we only have current the life, so live our life to the fullest & leave behind our life findings for the next generation to pick up. The coming generations do not need to start from the scratch what the past generations have discovered, suffer what have been suffered, continue to enjoy what is made known can be exploited / further enhance it.
