Why does everyone say that life has an error tolerance rate that's beyond imagination?

It's because people from Todai rely too much on personal effort and completely ignore the absurd nature of the world.

People think life can be destroyed so easily because they're trying to use personal effort to perfectly avoid the world's random punishments—this inevitably demands that you can't make a single mistake.

Similarly, it's also correct to think that life can be turned around easily, because your personal flaws can hardly prevent luck from happening.

A person can work hard their whole life, study, exercise, never smoke or drink, but a drunk driver can completely destroy their life or even take it, making all their effort meaningless.

So how do you plan to prevent that?

Likewise, a person who indulges in drinking, gambling, debauchery, and all kinds of vices, who is lazy and dull, can also suddenly turn their life around and become the envy of everyone through a stroke of good fortune.

So where is "Heaven rewards the diligent" then?

Compared to the randomness brought by an absurd world, personal effort or indulgence are both so insignificant. What you can actually do is try to break free from conformist paradigms—paradigms avoid risks while also avoiding opportunities.

What a person should do is open their own boundaries as much as possible, try and experience as much as possible, and allow and welcome all possibilities.

This won't necessarily lead to worldly success, but it can test the upper limit of who you are in this world.
