NPC

就像遊戲裡永遠只能按既定程式重複做任務的背景角色。在現實中，指那些被困在毫無意義的日常迴圈裡，被情緒和環境驅使，沒有真正掌控自己人生、被動挨打的人。

Like the background characters in a game, forever bound to repeat scripted tasks. In reality, this refers to those trapped in meaningless daily loops, driven by emotions and environment, lacking true agency over their lives, and passively enduring the blows of existence.

作者认为人类生来皆是NPC。这些群体习惯向系统单向索取（如天降横财），面对苦难时只会哀嚎“老天不公”，缺乏与天道博弈的筹码与意识。

The author posits that human beings are, by nature, non-player characters (NPCs). These collectives are conditioned to extract value unilaterally from the system—expecting windfalls to fall from the sky—and, when confronted with suffering, they merely lament the injustice of fate. They lack both the capital and the consciousness required to engage in a strategic contest with the Dao.
