What does it mean that when human beings think, God will laugh?

"When human beings think, God laughs." This motto, which is widely circulated today, is a full understanding of life and the whole human world. As a limited human being, he doesn't understand his smallness and ignorance in a limited life, but just likes to think and act arrogantly outside the infinite. Because people are smart, but also because people themselves are small and insignificant. The closer we think about it, the closer we get to the truth, only to find ourselves fooled by God.

This is a strange circle that cannot be broken under the constraints of social ethics, and it is also a narrow and humble side of human nature. Unable to get rid of it, he began to doubt and deny, but eventually fell into a human tragedy. Its sorrow lies not in the result, but in the fact that human beings can never surpass themselves in the whole process.

Extended data:

"When human beings think, God laughs" is an old Hebrew proverb. Milan Kundera gave a speech at the ceremony of winning the Jerusalem Prize in May 1985. This article is one of Milan Kundera's The Art of Fiction, and it is also seen in The Unbearable Lightness of Life. Compared with God, man's life is only once, which cannot be repeated. There is no reference, and man's cognition is limited. Therefore, man's thinking is narrow, and our thinking sometimes makes us lost.
