Love for others stems from sensitivity to pain.

Love for others stems from sensitivity to pain.

The final ideology of Buddhism, mercy.


Mercy is a Chinese translation of the Sanskrit word 'Maitri-Karuna'.


'Mytree' means 'friendship', and 'Karuna' means 'pain the pain of others'.


In other words, mercy is the feeling of hurting the other person's misfortune or suffering in an equal relationship. The insight that I and the other person are both or equally unhappy or in pain is predicated on the word 'mercy'. To feel pain, and to try to alleviate it in any way, is mercy. Therefore, if you understand it as nihilism or pessimism that everything is suffering, you do not fully understand the teachings of Siddhartha. Rather, because I felt the pain, I tried to relieve the pain! That is mercy.


​


Being alive means being able to feel pain.


To be alive is to feel hunger, to feel lonely, to feel pain and cold.


​

What weakens one's sufferings rather than strengthens them, if not self-love?


The same is true for others. If someone else's pain or suffering feels like mine, then that other person is already my body. When you feel the pain or suffering of others as your own, amazing things happen. We can no longer make him suffer. To kill an animal and pluck a flowering branch, you must not feel their pain.


What is important is the sensitivity to feel the pain of others, that is, the sensitivity to pain. This is the root of the love that ordinary we have even if we do not even mention the term mercy.


Love for others is nothing without pain sensitivity. This is because love is the will and emotion to alleviate the suffering of others, that is, to promote the happiness of others.

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...
