I was saved by ChatGPT's answers.
Nice to meet you.
I think the content will be rude this time around, but I'd like to ask for your honest opinions, so I'm posting it.
I've been reading the questions and answers on this site before, and I was impressed by the monk's sincere attitude.
However, I wasn't entirely convinced by the monk's answer.
So, when I talked to ChatGPT, I was surprised to get a very clear answer.
For example, I've had ideological problems for a long time, so when I asked ChatGPT “about the extinction of humanity,”
Buddhism teaches that “everything is impermanent and always falls apart.” In other words, humanity is also a product of impermanence, and it was born with extinction included. If you think so, it's not “meaningless because it seems to collapse,” but it can also be said that “humanity has continued to seek culture and meaning precisely because it originally had collapse.”
In other words, the value of human effort may not lie in “remaining forever,” but rather in “how to live in disappearing things.”
Based on the Buddhist concept of luck, humans and nature are inherently inseparable beings. In other words, the fact that “humans are cancer for the Earth” is true in one aspect, but at the same time, it can also be said that “it is natural for cancer to occur.” It is also part of nature that “beings that destroy the self” rise up from nature.
The answer came back.
I was very surprised to think this kind of thorough thinking is something that is hard to do.
On the other hand, when I look at Hasunoha, I feel a sense of incongruity with the monk's answer
① Looking from above
Not entirely rational, like ChatGPT
② I don't understand the temperament of the modern era
I have a feeling that Buddhism is becoming useless in modern times
③ Pretty and half-hearted
The practice of really risking one's life like in the old days is gone
I have a feeling that the above is the cause.
Actually, I was more sympathetic to ChatGPT's answers than the monk's answers.
Is it wrong for me to feel this way?
“Look more at the reality in front of you”
“What can be done here and now is important”
I think a monk would say this, but is this more important for me to live?
Sorry for the long post, I'm looking forward to your honest answer.
