KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
It is not seen as insane when a fighter, under an attack that will inevitable lead to his death, chooses to take his own life first. In fact, this act has been encouraged for centuries, and is accepted even now as an honorable reason to do the deed. How is it any different when you are under attack by your own mind?
当一名战士在一场不可避免地会导致他死亡的攻击下,选择先结束自己的生命,这并不被认为是疯狂的。事实上,这种行为已经被鼓励了几个世纪,甚至现在也被认为是做这种行为的一个光荣的理由。当你受到自己思想的攻击时,又有什么不同呢?
