The attitude of learning, the way of self-care through knowledge.

​

The objective emotions that self-actualization creates are fear and sadness.

The current self-actualization that can only be pursued with self-confidence is always insecure. Anxiety about certainty

Since this is 'knowledge of oneself', there is no external basis for assurance. You just have to find it in yourself. The criterion of conviction is the reason why the underlying anxiety of the being who has become itself arises.

​

Paradoxically, the more we assume that we know ourselves and the more certain we assume that knowledge, the more we can help but feel anxious and fearful. In addition, if you realize that your knowledge is wrong in the process of pursuing 'realization', everything you've done so far will be a waste of time and effort in terms of 'realization'. So the feeling of sadness inevitably arises. Moreover, in a society that does not allow failure, the intensity of fear is bound to be high.

​

Pseudo-psychology is prevalent in this society as a way to avoid this anxiety. In a society where it has become impossible to find the basis for self-assurance within oneself, knowledge about the self is sought from the outside. One of the most representative of these is the method of understanding oneself by categorizing it. The reason people typify themselves in this way is an attempt to plausibly scientificize their knowledge of themselves while avoiding this anxiety. When this typology becomes a conviction rather than a starting point for self-discovery, it is no different from a meaningless mantra. This spell is one of the ways to turn away and avoid face-to-face with oneself.

​

It is necessary to turn knowing oneself into a matter of the learning process. A person cannot know who he is, but in the process of learning, he can learn something about himself. No, there is something you need to know. It is an attitude towards the world.

It is knowing when you are dealing with the world with an attitude of learning.

'People learn as long as they live.' - John Dewey

​

Whether consciously or not, the fact that we are alive is already adapting and coping with our ever-changing environment. For this adaptation and transformation, the ability to read the current state and change and find an appropriate countermeasure is the ability to learn.

​

To know yourself means to know how to learn. It is impossible to centre the 'don't know if you don't know how to learn.

Only those who know how to learn can transition to a life that places learning at the centre.

​

Being self-focused in the learning process means observing and figuring out what skills and methods you use in your learning. A man must be an excellent observer of himself, even to know himself.

​

Studying is an attitude.

The attitude of learning means the attitude toward oneself and the object after all. Knowing about yourself is knowing your attitude toward the world, focusing and sustaining that focus. In other words, to get to know yourself means to know your attitude toward the world.

Knowing your attitude and keeping you learning is a healthy way to be considerate and take care of yourself.
