The pig said: When humans think, God laughs. Yet, humans still choose to struggle against heaven and earth. As a result, everyone's life is filled with tears, setbacks, and pain. Everyone is in pursuit of happiness and joy. The girl is twenty-eight this year, but for everyone, happiness and joy are often visible yet unattainable. They don't know that the more they chase after happiness, the more it drifts away from them like soap bubbles. Because they always equate me and what I desire with happiness and goals, they charge towards their defined happiness without hesitation. Countless people rush forward, undeterred by repeated failures, towards their own vision of happiness, just like moths rushing into fire. They end up exhausted and scarred, then blame the heavens for being unfair and complain about how hard it is to be human. They never awaken; the snail searching for happiness chases after a happiness that appears to be real but is actually just a soap bubble, not true happiness. They always believe themselves to be smart and intelligent, trusting in themselves so much that God often laughs as He watches them stumble over themselves.
