tokoroten Funeral Freeloaders (9) reads
You still look great. https://amzn.to/3Le4oYt
tokoroten After reading this manga again, I realized that the basis of the work seems to be Zen (Buddhism) and mindfulness. Instead of acting in the futile act of regretting and worrying and suffering due to a past that cannot be changed, Live in the present based on a past that cannot be changed The way it is portrayed is thorough.
tokoroten Aside from the elf Freelen, humans are mindful thinkers across the board. There is seriously no one who is bound by a past they canât change (even Zain tried to stay in the village when he appeared?)
Itâs damned interesting to reread Freelen from this perspective.
tokoroten The first class wizard exam is a good example of mindfulness, Teams trust others but never expect them to trust them, and never try to change them (because they cannot be changed). In addition, there is seriously no indication that those who lost regret it at all, the perception is that it canât be helped, that they were weak.
tokoroten I think whatâs amazing about the funeral freelens is that they perfectly depict that psychopath and mindfulness are two sides of the same coin. Neither of them are exactly the same in terms of ânot being stuck in the past and living in the present.
tokoroten Funeral freelens, even biological reactions to pain, are full of no-reaction scenes, as they are futile. Because thereâs nothing beneficial in making a fuss about the pain.
Itâs a tremendous mindfulness (psychopathic) piece where all the characters see themselves as frames, seriously.
tokoroten In a modern story, it may no longer be offensive to use a character trapped in the past as a trickster to advance the story You look like a fool who is living a cosmopolitan lifestyle.
Cost-effective way of life = mindfulness, psychopathy I feel like itâs supposed to be.
tokoroten freelen, I just reread volumes 1 through 9. I knew it. Mindfulness is the base of all the charactersâ thinking. âDonât get stuck in the past, live in the present.â ââPainâ is merely a reaction felt by the body, and reacting to âpainâ is futile; the other higher self observing the âpainâ does not âhurtâ.â
tokoroten For example, this page in volume 6, Fern should be angry, but she realizes that it is futile to be angry, so her reaction is âThatâs good to know. Thatâs good. This doesnât usually happen unless youâve been trained in the mindfulness of the futility of being trapped in the emotion of anger.
tokoroten ââPainâ is just a reaction that the body feels, and reacting to âpainâ is futile, and the other higher self observing the âpainâ does not âhurtâ.â
I wonder if this is because itâs based on an RPG-like world, just fewer hit points for the character, and it doesnât hurt the âplayerâ who is observing it. structure
tokoroten Ah, so even âold ageâ is subject to mindfulness in this work. We all realize that we cannot change the fact that we are getting old, and that it is futile to suffer in the grip of old age.
Youâve been sticking that in my face since episode 1.
