Just situation. Just universe.

Plato ever said, “A chair in the world is just an imitation or instantiation of the form of chair”. He used the word “form” to describe the true essence of material objects in this world. So, a chair is not defined by what we see, but by its nature or “chair-ness”.
But what about life and being? How do we define and look at life? For example, what make(s) you not a beetle but a human being, just like the man happened in kafka’s freaky story Metamorphosis? Did technology change the “form” of an object we are seeing and also the happening of it? I am curious about that from this world of illusion.

所以我不吃肉

Plato's pig, not on chair, out of imitation

If man were never to fade away like the dews of Adashino, never to vanish like the smoke over Torbeyama, but linger on forever in the world, how things would lose their power to move us! The most precious thing in life is its uncertainty.
