What is the point of it all?

I’ve recently become a huge Kurosawa fan. The movies I’ve seen of his always tell some interesting story about the human experience. I just watched RASHOMON, the movie about a rape/murder told from the different perspectives of the people involved. There are parts in it where it’s like “well, you’re supposed to kill yourself because you’ve been with two men” or “you’re supposed to kill yourself because your wife has been with two men”. The Japanese are funny about suicide. Talk about identifying with your ego. Something is so unacceptable to people and society that the only solution is suicide. But it’s really not that absurb. I’m sure I have about a million similar beliefs that I’m totally unaware of that are holding me back. Things I believe are completely unacceptable that really are not problems.
