Features: Religion, society, nature are the three struggles of humanity. These three struggles are also the three needs of humanity: when people seek faith, they build temples; when people seek creation, they build cities; when people seek to live, they create plows and boats. However, these three answers contain three wars. The mysterious suffering of life comes from these three wars. Humanity faces three forms of obstacles: superstition, prejudice, and natural elements. A triple destiny weighs upon us—this is the destiny of doctrine, the destiny of law, and the destiny of things. In The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, the author explains the first destiny; in Les Misérables, the author points out the second destiny; and in this book, the author reveals the third destiny.
