Good writing, good words, embodying.




"If you intend to climb high, let it rise on your own feet!" - Nietzsche


​


When we read books or listen to lectures, we come across so-called 'good writing' and 'good words' a lot.


Where did all those 'good words' that sometimes made me hit my knees and sometimes even touched my heart and wrote them down somewhere?


It seems that they stayed in me for a while, but now I don't know where they are.


Why are those 'good words' just like a soda that only gives you the thrill of a moment?


​


Perhaps it is because they have never properly digested those 'good words'. In other words, he didn't take it seriously. I only saw the beautiful words of Socrates, Confucius, Jesus and Buddha, but did not experience them. We believe in their authority, not their words. If you truly believed the word, you should have done it already.


Faith is expressed not in the practice of words, but in the worship of the person who speaks them. What we believe is not words, but that they are special beings different from us.


Many people believe in Jesus and show off their faith, but few live like Jesus. Maybe that's not what Nietzsche meant when he said that Jesus was the only Christian?


​


Of course, this is not a matter of any particular religion. It is a problem for everyone who reads and listens to good words as a habit.


I bought more than a million books by a monk who broke the spirit of non-possession, but non-possession is not actually practised. We pay the price of a book as an admission fee while listening to good words as if visiting a museum or a scenic spot.



A right word is just a right word. For it to be mine, it must be experienced again in me. Words that I have not experienced in my own way are mere floating information. There are still many people in the world looking for the right words, but there is no shortage of right words in the world. They are just wandering aimlessly here and there.


​


It is said that the humanities lecture halls of 'favourite lecturers' are overflowing with people these days.


There are many books and lectures where you can read and listen to good words. But most of the words have become like products that everyone uses and throws away, even if they don't even use them. If you hear something good from someone, you should hear it again in your own voice at least once. Only then will it be mine.


​


A mountain that I have not climbed with my own feet is a mountain that exists only as a spectacle and spectacle. Therefore, to meet and experience the mountain in person, you have no choice but to climb it yourself.


"If you intend to climb high, let it rise on your own feet."

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...
