"Robot Life" Ending

In Japan, there is a saying called "mourning" (things mourning),

It means "to give the deepest feelings to the objects", which celebrates the sorrow of the lost life, and appreciates the beauty of fallen leaves more than the green leaves on the branches. Perhaps this is the reason why Japan attracts Jobs.

The sorrow of the soul is like an expression of the beauty of things.

...

Jobs’ own contradictions:

He is an artist seeking perfection, but he can never feel peace;

He focused on the meditation of monks, but he had no sympathy;

He brings us freedom, but it is confined to a closed garden, and the only key is in his hand.

To rectify these contradictions, I think we must take a good look. We are connected to Jobs’ partner, who is ourselves.

Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine quotes

  • Himself - Narrator: In the end I was left with the same question with which I began this journey: Why did so many strangers weep for Steve Jobs? It is just simple to say it was because he gave us products we love, without asking why we love them the way we do. It is too simple even to conclude that we love them because they connect us to a wider world and the people in our lives that are far away. Because these machines isolate us too. Perhaps the contradictory nature of our experience with these gadgets, narrates the contradictions of Jobs himself: He was an artist who sought perfection, but could never found peace. He had the focus of a monk, but none of the empathy. He offered us freedom, but only within his closed garden to which he held the key.
