Am I the last man? superman?

 Am I the last man? superman?

​

People often criticize philosophy for overlooking practical problems because it pursues only the ideal of heaven.


But if you don't have an idea, you can't see reality.




A person who cannot shoot longing arrows over himself, a person who pursues only profit and becomes a small insect on the earth like a swarm of grasshoppers, running around and comforting himself with happiness, he is the last human being.


Modern universal people, who are well-educated, can lead a happy life and want to live a healthy life and do a good job.


Could the last man be our self-portrait?


 


Those who have broken away from metaphysical values, those who have a style of existence that is in opposition to the numerous people who disparage the everyday values ​​we are always close to and claim the values ​​of heaven, the superhuman.


"Superman creates something beyond himself."


​


Superman and the last man do not refer to specific people. It is an existential form.


The best human beings who follow popular values ​​and are sensitive to fashion do not feel bliss by actively overcoming certain situations, but are satisfied with the state they are given. They believe in the universal pursuit of the masses and want a happy state to pursue passive satisfaction.


 "Because the secret to reaping the greatest fruits and pleasures of existence is: Live dangerously."


The reason superman's mode of existence is dangerous is that: he has to create himself.


Living with one's values ​​while pioneering one's path, the superhuman actively pursues life.


​


“A man and a beast are a rope that connects a superman, a rope that spans over one abyss. It is dangerous to cross over and it is dangerous to cross, to look back, to tremble, and to stand. If there is anything great about a person is that he is a bridge, not an end. If there is any reason why a person deserves to be loved is that: he is a passing-down process and a descending process."


If there is anything great about man, it is that he serves as a bridge in the creative process beyond himself, not in his purpose.


​


The creator sets out a goal to pursue.


Goals are not given. You create goals in the process of walking on your own.


If you stop because you can't see your current goal, there will be no progress. If you repeat the process of ascending and descending toward the goal, new scenery, and scenery that you have not seen now appear. 


There is a valley in front of you and it looks like there is nothing behind it. However, when you turn around the valley a wonderful view unfolds.


Goals are created in the process. If we give meaning to the process and love it, being alive can be a great joy.


​


Am I the last man? Are you super?


​


"I love him. One who has a free mind and a free heart. To such a person, the head is but the intestines in the heart. But the heart drives him to his descent downfall."


​


Amor Mundi is a value that affirms self and affirms the world we live in.


Life as an Ubermensch who loves the world and overcomes the world must always be accompanied by discomfort, but it is worth it.

Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom.

 Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom. ​ Get your hands off the hanging cliff. Enlightened people say I had to get my hands off the hanging cliff. I can't believe it's a story from Buddhism, which emphasizes mercy and love. Doubts can be easily dispelled. A 'hanging cliff' is actually just an object of obsession, believing that it will die if it is released even though there is no problem. The 'hanging cliff' is different for each person. It could be youth, health, family, money, home, or children. Or it could be love, it could be friendship, it could be the approval of others.   It is clear that the person who cannot lift his hand from the cliff is not free, he is not the master of his own life. Whatever it is, if it is impossible to live without it, and if it is likely that he will die, he is already a slave to the cliff on which he hangs. If you let go, you will die, but why should you let go? For the freedom to pursue new possibilities in life....

 alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self. There are three classes of alchemists. A person who only imitates the language of alchemy without understanding it, Someone who understands but is finally frustrated to know that the language of alchemy is to be followed with the heart and not the head, A person who has never heard of alchemy, but has already become an alchemist by living the life of obtaining the secret of alchemy and discovering the 'philosopher's stone' in his life... ​ Failed alchemists just want to turn lead into gold.

If you look into even a single grain of sand with love, you can dis...

君子上達 小人下達

Learning flows from the bottom up to the high. ​ A gentleman faces upwards and a small man faces downwards. (君子上達 小人下達) .. - Analects ​ It means that a gentleman goes through high-level studies and disciplines to rectify himself and create a better world, but a small man concentrates on fulfilling his own interests and greed. In addition, <Heonmun> contains words that tell how to do it. That's 'Hahak Sangdal'. It means that no matter how high ideals and dignified life are pursued, daily learning must be a prerequisite. ​ ​ Education must first teach the near and small, and then the far and great. If you do not go through the process of solidifying the basics properly in order to achieve quick results and teach high-level things first, you will collapse at some point, like building a castle on sand. However, if you stop at something close and small, you will not be able to make progress in your studies. The beginning of learning is small and close, but the end of learn...
