Heart-beating life, make life match your heart.

Heart-beating life, make life match your heart.




A man died. Upon noticing his own death, he saw God approaching him with a suitcase.


God said


"Son, it's time to leave."


he asked God.


"What was in that bag?"


"Your possessions are in it."


​


the man asked.


He asked about money, clothes, memories, talents, family, body, soul, and so on.


​


God said


"Materials like clothes and money belong to this planet. Memories belong to time, talents to the environment.


The family belongs to the journey, and the body to the dust."


​


"Then I'm sure it's my soul."


"Sadly you forgot. Son. Your soul belongs to me."


​

The man, trembling in fear, with tears in his eyes, took the suitcase from God's hand and opened it.


The bag was empty.


The man groaned through the rain and his tears wet his cheeks.


he asked God.


"Have I never owned anything?"


"Yes, you never owned anything."


"Then what was mine?"


God said


"The moments that make your heart flutter, every moment you lived your life to the fullest was yours."




Maya Angelou says life is not judged by how many breaths you take, but how many breathtaking moments you have.


You have to live a lot of 'heart-beating moments' so that your suitcase is not empty when you die.


Moments that impress you, moments that match your life to your heart.


The only things you can take with you when you leave this world are those in your heart.


​


Do you just breathe a little and call it life?

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...
