The essence of empathy, what it is.

 The essence of empathy, what it is.


​


“The writer has to get into the character he is portraying.


He must go into his body, see the world with his eyes, and feel the world with his senses. "


- Alfonso Dodette


​


The past is like a foreign country that can only be experienced by living in person.


For people such as historians, scientists, actors, and writers who live lives that transcend time and space, empathy is a useful thought tool that allows them to see the world through the eyes of others.


Empathy is the perception of the world through another person's body and mind, and the essence of empathy is to become a different person.


Philosopher Karl Popper says:


"I think the most useful way for a person to gain new understanding is 'empathic intuition' or 'empathy'. Getting into a problem and becoming a part of it."


For this kind of empathy to stimulate and enhance the imagination, the most complete understanding is possible when it becomes what I want to understand for myself and not myself.


In order to draw bamboo, I must first let it grow within me.


The essence of empathy is to become something other than yourself.


Understanding and physically uniting with others through empathy means the loss of otherness.


The starting point of communication and empathy


This can be a central skill in moving the relationship in which you are helping.


​


empathize. The whole world is the stage for which it is the object.


Look, imagine and feel. and be it

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.

 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.

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...
