All intellect awakens with the morning.

 All intellect awakens with the morning.


"Renew yourself completely daily. Renew every day, renew forever."


The morning brings back the age of heroes. If you sit with the doors and windows wide open in the early morning, you can hear the sound of a mosquito flying around the house, buzzing like a mosquito. However, you can be as impressed as any other trumpet that has sung fame to the cry of a flying mosquito that you can't see or imagine. It was Homer's requiem. It was itself singing of his own anger and wanderings in air epics such as 《The Iliad》 and 《The Odyssey》. There was something cosmic. The mosquito sound was a constant advertisement of the world's endless power and fertility.


​

The most memorable time of the day is the morning when you wake up. Only when renewed strength and awakened my inner yearning can life nobler than the previous day begins, and darkness bears its fruit and proves to be as precious as light.


A day that doesn't, you might call it a day, but it's a day with nothing to look forward to. He who does not believe that each day contains the hour of dawn earlier and more sacred than the time thus defiled is one who is already desperate in life, and one who walks downhill in darkness.

"All intellect awakens with the morning."


​


Poetry and art, and the most beautiful and wonderful human activities, stem from such morning hours. All poets and heroes, like Memnon, are children of the dawn goddess Aurora and play their music at sunrise.


​


A day is always morning for a person who keeps his thoughts resilient and powerful in keeping with the sun. It doesn't matter what time the clock shows or what other people's attitudes and work are. Morning is when I am awake and there is dawn in me.


​


Moral reform is an effort to dispel sleep. If people aren't sleeping, then why spend a day so useless? They aren't that ignorant of calculations. They would have done something had they not been so overwhelmed by sleepiness.


​


We must awaken again and learn to remain in that awakened state.


We can do this by endlessly anticipating the dawn that will not abandon us even in our deepest sleep.


​


Influencing the essence of the day, that is the best art. Everyone must make his life, down to the smallest detail, worth savouring in his noble and precious time.

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...
