古之學者爲己, 今之學者爲人

 The end of study is to return to daily life.


古之學者爲己, 今之學者爲人


"Scholars of the past studied for themselves, and today's scholars study for the sake of others."


- Confucius




The science of crisis is a study to build oneself up faithfully, and the science of crisis is a study to show and show off to others.


A person who studies crisis rejoices in a better today than yesterday, in other words, their own development and growth. Of course, there is no limit to that.


However, people who practice anthroposophy often compare themselves to others and study to get ahead of others.


I am studying to occupy a higher position, so I stop studying at some point.


Conversely, even if it is a difficult situation in which one cannot hope for success, he is also despondent and stops studying.


It is because they do not know the true meaning of study in the first place and do not have the correct meaning.



​


A person who is devoted to building skills and refining himself cannot afford to worry about other trivial matters. However, at a certain moment, the inner skills and skills that have been accumulated over the years will naturally seep out. Just as a full of poison overflows, just as water flows out of a cloth soaked in water, even if you do not show off or brag, your skills will be revealed and people will know.


However, those who show their shallow knowledge and skills carelessly have no room to deepen their skills. Even if a little knowledge is gathered, there is no time to stagnate because they are busy scooping it up to show off it.


​


The real study is to keep deeply in your heart the teachings you have seen with your eyes and heard with your ears.


And the last thing to study is to put it into practice in work and life.


Therefore, as long as life goes on, there is no end to study.


​


Humans are not horses that scatter in the air.


They prove themselves with the footprints they leave on the ground.

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...
