72 Elastic Life
The number 27 and 72 indicate a position that beholds proactive thinking of life and death, interpreted by BWV 727 (1740, Bach), Impression, Sunrise (1972, Monet), and is an agreement. Time is the stage towards death, therefore, why to die is the point in terms of why to live. I attempted to illustrate this concept once some time ago, loosely based on the Fibonacci sequence as the golden rule of how life can progress in its own rationality, to release me from thinking. It means that the instinct of existence is a disciplined infinity that can go beyond but within its defined nature.
The acknowledgment did not change me much, but I needed to form it as a question of when to plan and when not to. At least when people asked, my answer was that I always plan, because that has been useful, it is true. Some fundamental philosophical topics can emerge, such as sometimes I feel I can control something in life, and free will is a vision that can be jumped out from. I pick up this again, because I find the reason for authors to open the door to talk about life and death, is that maybe at a time when there are very good moments, they want to stay forever and allow the time to stop. Also, when they see a stage, it is a significant overriding feeling of the present, pushing to the future like waves.
Two desires can determine the movement of living: one is to fulfill the needs at the moment, and the other is to travel in time for future needs, so this is how they say time travel. The concept of eternal return is generated in this framework. When the needs in the past have not been addressed, they can travel to the present and be seen as repeated patterns. A repeated pattern can be stopped when it is no longer wanted. Most things in life are in such repeated loops, because seeing them as fixed patterns can reduce feelings of uncertainty. Therefore, to make it possible to pause unwanted patterns, it is good to have a safe zone that is a certainty that holds a permanent belonging.
