Kronos vs Kairos. Live the time of Kairos.

 Kronos vs Kairos. Live the time of Kairos.




'Kronos' and 'kairos' are both Greek for time.


But collectively, it is a very different concept to just call it time.


Chronos refers to 'flowing time' itself.


As the sun rises and sets,


Just like the time that is given to everyone, a day,


It is a time in the world where everyone experiences the same.


It's an everyday moment that goes by in a flash.


Kairos is 'the decisive time to feel the meaning of my existence'.


It is a special time to immerse myself in the work that is necessary for me with an awake mind.


This is the moment when you put your heart into it.


Live your life the way you always do...


If you live each day carelessly, doing surplus things, your life will be filled with only chronos.


Time is wasted on things that will not be useful in life, and the day is wasted with unnecessary emotional consumption.


I can't focus on the things I need to do, so I waste time and repeat the same thing over and over again.


I don't even think seriously about what my time means. I do not attach any special meaning to my time.


Suddenly, when I look back on my life, I only realize that my life is made up of a series of meaningless moments.


For these people, there are very few life memories that will put a smile on your face.


There won't be much time spent well enough to be a memory.


Because life is full of Kronos.


No matter how short and seemingly insignificant time is, I have to hold it tight with my hands and fill it up.


You have to make it Kairos without missing a single day.


My time should be used wisely to achieve my goals.


You have to add a reason to write well in every moment, and pour out your heart completely.


In order to do that, I have to do things that will help me in my life first. We must not live carelessly, we must live with an awake mind. If I entrust my body to the flow of time, I become a 'slave' of time. I can become the 'master' of my time only if I develop the power to control my time thoroughly. Only then can you become 'the master of your life'.


When I look back on my life in the distant future, I can say, "My life was a series of shining moments."


Fill your life with Kairos.


The only person who can paint the big picture of my life, step by step, is myself.

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...
