It is believed that there is no so-called scientific distinction between normal and pathological way, and only through the pathological, the normal and the nature of life can be understood. Pathological is not only a negative value, but also a positive creative value, which initiative adapts to the changing environment. From the ontological point of view, the individual life is the existence of a relationship; from the epistemological point of view, life is creative; from the perspective of value, life is also a normative existence, and the nature of life is individuality.
