Memento Mori,

 Memento Mori,


​

We don't talk about our wishes and fears until we think it's too late, sometimes it's really too late.


Thinking about death ahead of time makes life so much sweeter.


When your loved one is gasping for their last breath, there is no room for other thoughts. At that time, my eyes only darkened, and no famous or prayerful words came to mind. Even if it comes to mind, it doesn't help at all.


Most of us think of death very vaguely, but at some point, we suddenly realize that I, the most precious and irreplaceable self, will die.


It is frightening to think about, but this insight that passes by in an instant changes our lives. When we know that our body will one day die, and we know that we must leave this life, we are different. The moment you realize that fact, you feel the shock and sweet happiness of being electrocuted at the same time.


The beauty of porcelain is within me.


Human curiosity is nothing more than a curiosity felt in a leisurely moment when death is not imminent.


The existence of contradictions that we acknowledge with our heads but cannot accept with our hearts... We cover our eyes and live in semi-denying of death.


All humans fear death.


Concealing death is not universal, but fear of death is extremely common.




Acceptance occurs when rejection no longer works. Contemplating death is actually contemplating resistance.


The death of the body is nothing more than the painless annihilation of the separated self, and our essence extends infinitely like outer space.


​

"The death we fear the most is actually nothing, because when we exist, death does not come, and when death comes, we do not exist." - Epicurus


​

After extinction, there is no regret for extinction. There's no reason to be afraid of things that don't even exist. In the state of nothingness, there is no awareness, no consciousness, no memory.

Fatigue society, excess of positivity, dialectic of positivity.

 Fatigue society, excess of positivity, dialectic of positivity. ​ ​ ​ Each age has its own disease. For example, there is an era that can be said to be bacterial. But this era came to an end, at least with the invention of antibiotics. The beginning of the 21st century can be defined pathologically as neither bacterial nor viral, but rather neurotic. It is an infarct disease, not a contagious disease, and it is a disease caused by an excess of positivity, not the negativity of the immunological other. Therefore, it is by no means governed by immunological techniques aimed at defeating the negativity of others. ​ The last century was the immunological age. In other words, it was an era in which clear boundaries were drawn between the inside and the outside, friends and enemies, and me and others. The essence of immunological behavior is aggression and defense. There is a certain blindness in the essence of these immunological devices that have taken over the entire society from the...

The Truth of Perspectiveism, Maturana.

 The Truth of Perspectiveism, Maturana. "The observer is the source of all things. Without the observer nothing exists. The observer is the basis of all knowledge. The basis of all claims concerning man himself, the world and the universe. The extinction of the observer is the It will mean an end and annihilation, for there will be no one left to perceive, speak, describe or explain." - <<From Being to Doing>> Maturana ​ Someone is watching something. Marurana says this is a fundamental starting point. The person develops a world of his own as he sees it as an observer. If the other person exists as an observer, then the other person's world exists, and as an observer, the world that that person sees also exists. ​ The philosopher Nietzsche, before Maturana, described this as perspectives. If the term perspectives is difficult to describe, you can borrow the term from Maturana and call it 'observers. ​ ​ Snakes are creatures of a different world from human...

active reading.

 active reading. We know more about the world than we used to, and you may still think that knowledge is essential to understanding something. But knowledge is no longer as essential for understanding as one-sided thinking. You don't have to 'know' everything about something to 'understand' it. Too much information can actually be an obstacle to understanding something. The present age is overflowing with facts that prevent us from understanding the correct appearance of things due to a lot of information. ​ One of the most active projects of some of the best intellectuals today is to unite views from an intellectual standpoint. Through the Internet, television, radio, and magazines, people are provided with well-organized resources, from clever persuasion to carefully curated information and statistics, to make 'decisions' with little effort. But with effective packaging, viewers, listeners, and readers are sometimes unable to make their own decisions. As i...
