Humanities again.

 Humanities again.



Humans are neither primates of all things nor intelligent animals.


"It's just that we don't have claws, and we don't have strong legs."


The French philosopher Bergson explains why humans have intelligence.


We also have weak skin, and when the cold winter comes, we can't stand it. You have to learn to live.


Humans cannot live alone.


Humans, hyenas, wolves...


Humans are said to be one of the three most cowardly hunting groups on the planet.


Humans who hunt collectively because it is impossible to do one-on-one hunting with dignity, humans who hunt using tools such as fire and weapons because it is not enough, and we call it 'civilization'. They do not have the strength to defeat the lion, but they wrap it in the name of civilization.


Underlying civilization is the desire to hide the tears, fears, and weaknesses of human beings.


Admit it and look into it.


The starting point of the humanities must start with the recognition that humans are too weak, deceitful and fearful beings.



When social and political problems arise in a person's life, or when conflicts arise between family members, instead of hiding behind the name of civilization or culture as religion, it is necessary to contemplate and reflect on the relationship and come up with a solution.


Humanities are saying that we should think centred on humans and that problems should be solved amongst humans.


You should be able to see your bare face rather than avoiding it by wrapping it up with a plausible name.


It takes time to realize whether or not we are falling into the illusions we have created on our journey to find our way.


I wake up from the fantasy I made and face reality while shouting 'Humanities again'.


Because it should be the beginning of the humanities to be intensely contemplating and reflecting in life.


I hope that I will become a humanist who is constantly shaken in my life, rather than looking for answers.

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.

 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. He was obsessed with the myth of the self and its treasure, but did not try to live the myth himself. ​ There is only one way to learn, to learn through action. God created this world so that the teachings and wonderful wisdom of the soul can be realized through the visible, and he calls it 'action'. Everything behind the earth gives enlightenment. 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...
