Zima Blue “Searching for the Purpose of Life”

Searching for the Purpose of Life. What is Minimalism? Some advice.

I don’t want to stall you. There is an animation. Animation will teach us something very important. After then, We’ll learn about minimalism. I’ll give you some advice. Let’s start.

1) Content of Animation

Zima Blue is actually the 14th episode of the 1st season of the TV series Love, Death & Robots.

An animation based on the book “Zima Blue And Other Stories” published in 2006 by British science fiction author Alastair Reynolds.

The story begins when a woman who develops a robot wants to develop the robot that cleans her pool. As the woman develops the robot, she sees it incomplete and adds more. When the owner dies, the features of the artificial intelligence robot increase and develop from owner to owner. After a while, when he attained a superhuman intelligence, he named himself “Zima”.

Zima, who started to produce works of art, firstly painted portraits of people, not content with this, but produces paintings that include space and the universe. He presents his paintings to the people. His pursuit does not end, and this search leads him to one day place the blue in his paintings for no reason.

The blue in the pictures continues until the pictures are made of blue only. People cannot get anything out of these pictures. Zima is advancing the work from getting out of the paintings to painting the meteorites blue. After that, he calls his blue “Zima Blue”.

The world is now talking about Zima. They know him as a person who builds robot attachments to his body over time. A person who has durable armor instead of skin, has developed abilities such as eyesight, and does not need to breathe oxygen …

In search of the purpose of life, he goes to the depths of space, from going into lava. Zima, who does not speak to people, calls a journalist one day and announces that he will present his greatest work the next day. He tells his story to that journalist from the day before. “Well, why Zima Blue?” she asks.

While Zima was a robot who used to clean the pool, the stones that gave the pool that blue color were called “zima blue” at the factory. He then adds: “This was the first I knew. All I have to know is… “

The next day, when the world comes to watch Zima’s greatest work, he watches him jump into the pool, the beginning of his life. He shuts down his brain functions and turns himself into a pool cleaner robot.

Zima’s search for a purpose in life ended with this suicide.

2) What we learn from the story?

Animation teaches us a lesson that years could not. Think of the years we lost while looking for the meaning of life.

Think about getting lost in what we want while wanting more. We came to the world naked and with nothing. We came with simplicity.

We are looking for our life purpose outside. Zima sought outside as most of us do, and like most of us, she couldn’t get enough of what she had done.

The best we can do is fulfill our life purpose. What exists for that purpose, outside of its purpose and mission, can it be satisfied?

Man has fallen to a level where he can see what he produces as superior to himself.

We are tired of moving away from this order and our life purpose. It is necessary to act, to taste the simplicity and the beginning.

Why should we use these wits and abilities given to us to wear them at the wheel of the corrupt order?

3) Advice

We know people who have written their names in the world, humanity and history. We know that most personalities have almost nothing, while emigrating from the world. We know scientists who live for the sake of discovering the existence of the universe, but eventually find themselves in what really means.

We know warriors and commanders, annexing countries to their lands, ruling people, and in the end they are left with themselves. We know Solomon, he rules the world, and finally leaves the world as he came.

Without going too far, you look into the present, and the wealthiest people in the world find the taste of life by buying two books and reading for hours in a hut. They are the owners of the companies that shape the world and the economy.

Of course, one should research, try to know oneself, and examine what one exists for.

One should rest or get tired, but should not miss the joy of life.

Understand life, see it live and add value to the world.

4) Minimalism

We talked about simplicity. We said that in the search for the purpose of life, nothing satisfies a person and returns to the essence.

Have what you want or be where you want. The purpose of your life is in the moment and place when you understand it.

“Minimalism is moving away from all kinds of things that don’t add value to people or serve any purpose.”

It is not to be deprived of something. It is to examine what you need and determine your priorities.

What is this consumption rate, the flurry? The disease of hoarding appeared. Substances own us.

How efficiently can we use the time we have? Minimalism enables us to use the mind, to evaluate time, to be productive, to question and to be aware.

It is most important to apply minimalism mentally rather than objective reduction and simplification. Otherwise there will be a fashion. It is necessary to understand its philosophy. Then we will be able to focus and increase our work. This philosophy will bring us success.

When you remove the unnecessary things in your life, you will be able to see the necessary ones. These unnecessary things will sometimes be someone, sometimes your struggles. Do not waste your limited time living someone else’s life.

If you value yourself, do not put such a burden on your soul. Do not tire your mind too much and unnecessary things. Think about the things that will add meaning and benefit to your life. Get healthy recipes in your mind kitchen.

I invite you to minimalism.

5) Birth and Death

We call the time between the two as life. Our minds are not open when we are born and we do not have a consciousness yet. Will we be comfortable knowing that we have an idea or purpose in life as we die?

The birth of humans is a source of joy. Beginnings have always been welcomed and goodbyes ended sadly. Have the deceased ever been asked “Are you sad or are you going to rest in this life?” that?

If you have a dissatisfaction, please try to change your life and start from a point. You don’t have to do what you don’t want and don’t let them force you to do so.

The time taken from you could be years. Look to win that time.

You are an example of your kind, you are human. Observe people well. You will find others in yourself and yourself in others.

You will be different in one place but remain the same everywhere. Know your place and show your difference.

I hope this story with deep meaning has been useful.
