Pursue unchanging principles to live in change.

 Pursue unchanging principles to live in change.


A world that has changed itself...


The technological revolution, the economy battling uncertainty, the fluid relationship between countries... The world is changing at an unimaginable speed.


The speed of an individual's life has also changed at the speed of light.


Our lives are connected with work all week long. The way we worked in the past was to do a lot with little effort. Now many people are trying to do everything alone at once.


But one thing has not changed and will not change in the future. The only thing we can rely on is the fact that there are eternal and universal principles. Those principles do not change. Applies to any era and any place. Just as natural laws such as gravity govern the fall of an object, principles such as fairness, honesty, respect, vision, responsibility, and initiative govern our lives.


Just as the principle of gravity works when you fall from the edge of a building, believing in the immutable principle can give you an optimistic outlook on life. Because if you live by that principle, good results will come. Unlike objects that fall when dropped from a building, we can choose whether to jump or not. We are not unconscious beings driven by impersonal forces. As human beings, we are endowed with abilities such as conscience, imagination, self-awareness, and independent will.


We can distinguish right from wrong. You can look at yourself objectively and evaluate your own behaviour. You can embrace your imagination, not get caught up in the memories of the past, and live with a vision for the future you want to create. The more we use these innate abilities, the greater our freedom of choice. We can choose to make a principle work or not work.


Like wanting love but not doing what will be loved, not trying, and wanting success, many people in modern times turn away from the principles of life.


Our culture is drifting away from principle.


Living in change requires unchanging principles.

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...
