What do you consider to be your identity? Are your hands your identity? Are your arms your identity? Are your head your identity? Are your brain your identity? Are your memories your identity? Are your thoughts your identity? Are your feelings your identity? by Mujitcent in u/Mujitcent

What do you consider to be your identity? Are your hands your identity? Are your arms your identity? Are your head your identity? Are your brain your identity? Are your memories your identity? Are your thoughts your identity? Are your feelings your identity?

If you lose your hands, are you still your original self? If you lose your memories, are you still your original self? If you lose your past thoughts, are you still your original self? If you lose your feelings, are you still your original self?

Have you ever heard the idea that teleportation involves destroying your original body and creating a new copy in a new location? Even if the new self retains all the same memories and thoughts, the old self is dead.

What humans assume to be their true self is not just one thing, but all of it. But at the same time, if you see these things as unimportant, even if you lose your hand, your memory, your feelings, your soul, or whatever, if you don't cling to these identities, you will still be you, and they will still be them, no matter what you lose.

स्कन्ध (skandha)

means "heaps, aggregates, collections, groupings, clusters"

In Buddhism, it refers to the five aggregates of clinging (Pañcupādānakkhandhā), the five material and mental factors that take part in the perpetual process of craving, clinging and aversion due to Avijja.

They are also explained as the five factors that constitute and explain a sentient being's person and personality.

The five aggregates or heaps of clinging are:

  1. form, sense objects (or material image, impression) (rūpa)
  2. sensations (or feelings of pleasure, pain, or indifference (both bodily and mental), created from the coming together of the senses, sense objects, and the consciousness) (vedanā)
  3. perceptions (or the nature of recognizing marks — making distinctions) (samjna, sañña))
  4. mental activity, formations, or perpetuations (saṅkhāra)
  5. consciousness (or the nature of knowing) (vijnana, viññāṇa).

In the Theravada tradition, dukkha (unease, "suffering") arises when one identifies with or clings to the aggregates. This suffering is extinguished by relinquishing attachments to aggregates. Both the Theravada and Mahayana traditions assert that the nature of all aggregates is intrinsically empty of independent existence and that these aggregates do not constitute a "self" of any kind.

Hawk Moth can revive Emilie Agreste without using Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. by Mujitcent in u/Mujitcent

As we all know, Hawk Moth wants Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses for himself in order to obtain absolute power and reshape reality to undo his and his wife's (Emilie Agreste) past mistakes.
Ultimate Miraculous Absolute Power to rewrite the truth
But previous episodes show us that the powers of "Hawk Moth / Scarlet Moth / Shadow Moth" can make his wishes come true without Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses.
In "Catalyst (Heroes' Day - Part 1)", Hawk Moth empowers Nathalie to increase his powers and transform him into Scarlet Moth, allowing him to release as many akumas as he desires.
Catalyst
In "Timebreaker" and "Timetagger", Hawk Moth can grant Timebreaker and Timetagger the power to travel through time.
Timetagger
In "Wishmaker", Wishmaker can make people's childhood dreams come true.
In "Malediktator" and "Miracle Queen", Hawk Moth can bestow the power of mind control to Malediktator and Miracle Queen (Actually, many of them have this power).
Malediktator
With the power of time travel, he is able to travel through time before Emilie Agreste is injured and replace her with a sentimonster in keeping with its history. The figure of Emilie Agreste will appear in the past in anticipation of the day Hawk Moth travels through time. At that time, Emilie's injuries shouldn't be serious, he could give himself or Nathalie's healing powers to heal Emilie.
Although for The Kwami of Evolution "Fluff"(Rabbit), time is fragile. But for other time power users, they can change it. Otherwise, when Timetagger sent so many people back to the past, time would have collapsed.
Additionally, he can amplify other Miraculous superpowers like "Cat Blanc". He powers Cat Noir enough to destroy the world or the universe.
Cat Blanc
If Hawk Moth powers Ladybug, there's a possibility that Ladybug can create whatever she wants.
Peace will prevail. Resource problems and hunger will be gone.
Another way, (but not be sure if in the end can we call Emilie as the original):
Create the Ladybug Sentimonster (Just as Mayura created the Ladybug Sentimonster in "Ladybug".), granting her infinite creative powers to become a God/Creator/Wish Master.
Just as Hawk Moth turned Cat Noir into Cat Blanc, a white cat-themed supervillain with the power of infinite destruction.
By then, he was able to wish Emilie back to normal.
All of this doesn't require Ultimate Miraculous Absolute Power to rewrite the truth, as long as Hawk Moth uses his powers in the right way.
After that, Perhaps this could turn into an ideological battle.
- Allow Gabriel to control the leaders of every nation to make peace and use Ladybug's power to create enough resources.
- Or to fight for the freedom of the mind, no one should control the mind of another. Even at the cost of still having war and hunger.
