不得上訴於第三審法院 Not Appealable to the Court of Third Instance

「不得上訴於第三審法院。」是我自2015年起的口頭禪之一。	"Not appealable to the court of third instance." is one of my pet phrases since 2015.
這句話出自〈最高法院刑事判例69年台上字第2037號〉，它是我第一個接觸到的判例，因此刻骨銘心。	The sentence originated from Supreme Court criminal precedent, 69th year, Tai Shang Zi No. 2037, which was the first precedent that I contacted with and thus impressive to me.
其內涵在於：為了合理分配有限的司法資源，法律規定某幾種輕微案件不得上訴於第三審法院，至多兩審定讞。	It means: for reasonably distributing the finite judicial resources, the laws prescribe that certain kinds of minor cases are not appealable to the court of third instance, and a definitive judgement will be given by no more than two instances.
如此，當事人只剩下兩個審級可以平反，一個審級利益被法定剝奪了。	As a result, the person involved in such cases can argue for his justice in only two instances, and one of his instance benefit is legally deprived.
這顯示出了現實的殘酷。	This shows the cruelty of the reality.

存在與本質之先後 The Precedence of Existence and Essence

顯然，東西必須存在，我們才可能分析它的色、聲、香、味、觸等本質。所以，存在先於本質[1]。	Obviously, there must be a thing, so that we can analyze its kinds of essence, such as its form, sound, smell, taste or touch. Therefore, existence precedes essence.
但是，東西必須發出色、聲、香、味、觸等本質，我們才可能發現它的存在。所以，本質先於存在。	However, a thing must give off some kinds of essence, such as its form, sound, smell, taste or touch, so that we can discover its existence. Therefore, essence precedes existence.
綜上所述，存在若且唯若本質。	In summary, existence if only if essence.

此為存在主義之主張。

It is a claim of Existentialism.
