On the Eternity of Human Existence and the Train Bound for God

Soyo Existence Ethics (Existence is itself ethics)

Train to Eternity

When philosophy is embraced within human existence, philosophy disappears. Philosophy is not an answer written in language, but rather the question that precedes the answer—the echo of existence thrown into the midst of suffering. When that philosophy touches the human soul, it no longer retains the name "philosophy." Because from that moment onward, philosophy ceases to be a concept and becomes "existence."

When philosophy disappears, existence begins.

We have long regarded philosophy as the pinnacle of thought, the flower of reason. However, Soyo Existence Ethics states, "Philosophy dissolves the moment it touches the human inner self, leaving only eternal existence." Through dissolution, philosophy leaves behind the essence of existence, and existence discovers itself connected to the eternity of God.

Philosophy is not a Station; It is a Journey Toward Eternity

Life is like a high-speed train. We constantly head toward some destination, but the final stop is not where we predicted. Existential ethics calls that destination "eternity."

There are no stations on that journey. Philosophy is merely the ticket to board that high-speed train. However, once existence begins to move, philosophy loses the language to guide it to that destination. Because existence precedes philosophy, and philosophy is always insufficient to contain existence. This is the "deconstruction of philosophy," and what emerges from that deconstruction is the true nature of human existence, shaped by the breath of God.

When Human Existence Transcends Philosophy

We attempt to explain existence through philosophy. However, existence is not something to be explained, but something to be revealed. Existence is shown in tears, in silence, in prayer, or in the trembling of being unable to love. At that moment, philosophy ceases to interpret. Language falls silent, thought stops, and only existence remains. That remaining "existence" is the passenger on the express train that takes humans to God.

The Final Destination Called Peace

What is the final destination? It is peace. This peace is not an emotion or a state. It is the original place where existence has arrived, a state connected to God, that is, eternity. The peace that the world speaks of may be a state of stillness or inaction, but the peace that existential ethics speaks of is a state of "no longer needing to be explained," that is, a state of rest where existence itself is sufficient.

Can Humans Regain Their Proper Form?

Soyo Existential Ethics calls humans great beings. This greatness does not lie in status, wealth, or knowledge. It lies in not giving up the desire for truth even in the midst of suffering, and in passing through the journey that goes beyond philosophy to existence, and beyond existence to God, at the end of that suffering.

Humans do not become great by embracing philosophy; only by transcending it do they finally regain their authentic selves as "God's creations." At that moment, humans become not philosophers but "witnesses of existence."

Soyo's Declaration

Philosophy leaves questions for humans, but existence finds answers in God. Therefore, when humans embrace philosophy in their lives, philosophy falls silent, and existence boards the train bound for eternity.

That train has no station, that train does not stop, that train is headed only toward God. That is the peace of existence declared by "Soyo Existential Ethics," and it is the true journey of life that humans must recover on this earth.
