In fact, even if the world is flat, we cannot resolve the Babel crisis, because our sight will end at some limited distance. "Babel" seems to tell us that "Babel" is still a superficial story, the language difference is just a cover, the so-called "Babel" is still the history written by the victors.
Shotguns, connections, humans in different languages, it's a bit ironic, if you know six people, then you're connected to people all over the world, a connection that kills a child in a gun, a connection that makes a pair premature I've been through the toughest moments of my life, this connection made a Japanese girl who was abandoned by the language fall in love once, this connection made a Mexican woman chew the coldness of her diaphragm, and of course, this connection made a proud American couple feel What is true love... If in this story racial and group differences have created insurmountable gaps in the human world, that invisible connection has lost no time to bridge these gaps, it beckons to humanity, it says : "Come here."
Humans have never lost the urge to build the Tower of Babel. It says, "Come and come." Whether it is pointing in the direction of God or in the direction of human beings, the Tower of Babel is an ever-extending sight and perception, and human instinct wants it to become higher and farther. So even if God messes with human language, we are only connected to six people and we are still connected to the whole world. God didn't completely destroy his own rules, he just made our connection a slender thread and blinded us. He's just a mean guy.
The existence of all human beings has at least two dimensions, the dimension of the strong and the dimension of the weak. Every time human beings have a connection beyond God's imagination, he will impose punishment, and the weak are used to pay homage. A shotgun that only fires on the least powerful humans, and the wound is fatal. God disrupted mankind's plan to build the Tower of Babel, but because he didn't know where the urge to build the Tower of Babel came from, the voice was always calling: "Come on. Come on." Someone heard, He walked over, but someone didn't hear it and walked over. God picked up the gun, but he still had to change the magazine.
That story doesn't mention what humans used to build the Tower of Babel, and sometimes, I think, maybe God is not just afraid of his own position and authority, he may be afraid of another thing - the use of humans to build Babel. The tower is not stone, not soil, not wood, but, human beings themselves. The power that men fear even God is not creation, but transformation. It is not desire that humans fear God, but the ability to sacrifice in order to achieve their desires.
What is the darkest night? Does God hold the shotgun, or is there always an end to human vision, as we see blood in mercy, as if our vision is blocked by darkness? What is the brightest light? It is our refusal to turn back, our firmness, and our questioning about why the world is in this state? A boy dies and his world is dark, but we know there are people crying in the world he just left, although we don't know how many. Americans are hurt, and there is always a stranger by their side, and when he rejected that roll of dollars, his world brightened, and we also know that the world he just said goodbye someone cried, although we still don't know how many people.
One day, God will be caught off guard, he created the darkest connection, but completely inspired the greatest rebellion of mankind, and this rebellion is the brightest light in the darkness. We don't know how long it will take for this light to dispel all the darkness in this world, but as long as humans don't need to always accept God's logic, there is still hope in this world.
God used his logic to create differences, misunderstandings, and suffering. Humans just opened Pandora's box, but never created that box. What human beings want to create is precisely a tower that reaches the sky. One person sacrificed, countless people walked by, God, only know that human beings want to build a tower, but don't know why they think this way.
Humans are still God's greatest fear, God's hell.
