Nietzsche's love.

 Nietzsche's love.

​

Philosophy can be interpreted as 'love of wisdom and 'love of life.


When many philosophers hang on to the 'truth', Nietzsche raises the question of 'love'.


"Philosophy is the science of love."


To summarize Nietzsche's criticism of Western philosophy that pursues only the truth in one word, it would be 'clumsy in love'.


The problem is not the truth itself, but how to love the truth and how to relate the truth to life.


Usually, philosophers act like tyrants or slaves. Like a tyrant, he imposes his truth on others or blindly embraces the idolized truth like a slave.


One of Nietzsche's problems with Socratic philosophy is related to the love of truth.


Although Socrates said he loved the truth, he had a tyrannical instinct for the truth.


This is why Socrates' dialectic was criticized in Athens. It was not supported because it was a method of revealing what people had, an embarrassment to others, and shame.



​


Nietzsche tells us to consider whether what we think is love is real love.


Nietzsche was wary of people accepting Jesus' teaching of 'love' as a means or condition.


'Love it. Then you can go to heaven.'


These words soon become a sacrifice that must be endured for the fruit of love being heaven.


we have to say


"Love. That is heaven."


​


In a way, we may be calling possessiveness, selfishness, servitude, worship, and gangs 'love'.


"Great love creates even those to love."


This is Nietzsche's law of love. Great love is the act of lovingly creating the object you love first.


If you love the truth, you must create loveable truth; if you love your own destiny, you must first sculpt it beautifully. If you love the world, you must first create a lovely world.


Nietzsche called this method 'Amor party', or 'love of fate'.


​


Like Michelangelo who sculpted the David hidden in the stone, we too must become sculptors.


There is David in individual life, in the world, and in people.


Love is the act of creating something to love, not the act of loving something that already exists.


If you love something, make it lovely.

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. 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...
