 Choose the meaningful path, not the easy path.

​

Humans are the only beings with self-awareness. Thanks to self-consciousness, humans have come to know that they are weak and incompetent and that death is inevitable and tragic. This self-consciousness inevitably causes suffering. The pain leads to selfishness and an idea that values ​​immediate gratification: expediency.



Most people think that the ruthless tyranny of society and nature, which cannot be helped by human strength, makes life a painful tragedy.


But in fact, society and nature are not the only causes of suffering. Not even the main cause. We have to think about the problem of evil. A world full of uncertainty indeed makes us difficult, but human inhumane behaviour is a far more serious problem. For this reason, the meaning of sacrifice is complicated.


Humans do not just work and sacrifice to overcome poverty and death and give up present satisfaction. It also has to do with the task of overcoming evil.




Human creativity, and never-ending labour.


Humans do work. Humans work to protect themselves, realizing that he is a weak being who cannot avoid death and disease. If he knows what will happen in the future, he must prepare for it. Otherwise, he will have to live in fear, struggling to deny the future. Therefore, he sacrifices the pleasures of today for a better tomorrow. However, when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and opened their eyes, it was not only the inevitability of death and labour that was sweetened. Good and evil were also distinguished.



​


Convenience is a narrow, selfish choice following blind impulses. The benefits of convenience do not last long. Convenience is the act of tricking yourself into getting what your instincts want. Convenience does not consider anything noble. irresponsible Life gains meaning when it sensibly replaces expediency.


Meaning comes from controlling and regulating impulses. Meaning arises when the world's possibilities and the world's value system interact. The meaning that arises when a value system is directed towards the goal of a better life is what drives life. Meaning is an antidote that will free you from chaos and pain. The meaning will make every moment of your life important and make every moment of your life better.


​


Meaning arises when everything around us moves toward a noble goal. The will to make each day a better life without being complacent with the present life changes everything around us. All the hardships that human beings have experienced and all the terrible struggles of history will give us the driving force we need to achieve something good and powerful.


​


Meaning is the ultimate balance of chaos and order. On one side there is chaos full of change and possibility, and on the other side, there is an unpolluted and restraining order. Meaning creates a new order out of chaos. A new balance is born that is purer, more stable, and more productive. Meaning is the way to a more prosperous life.


The meaning will lead us to a place where there is only love and truth, where there is nothing to hope for but love and truth.


Choose the meaningful path, not the easy path.

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...
