The true meaning of habit.

The true meaning of habit.


​

​


Modern capitalist society forces other behaviours before they become accustomed and habituated. In it, the habit degenerates into a superficial and peripheral action. A schedule is to get up at a set time, go to work at a set time, do a set task, and return home when the time is right. A schedule is never a habit.



The ancient Greek word for habit is ethos, the root of ethics.


This means that habits determine moral virtue.


Aristotle's 'eudaimonia' of happiness is a prerequisite for the habit of thinking and practising.


A person who does not think cannot be happy. Without judging the problems we face, we cannot know whether they are good or bad for our lives. But this practical judgment is always a balance between good and bad.


​



"Good people and bad people are the hardest to tell apart when you sleep."


Aristotle's words.


The joke is that there is no difference between a happy person and a miserable person for nearly half of the lifetimes we sleep. We must be awake and rational to make judgments, and when we judge, we must be temperate.


In other words, the road to happiness is thought.


​


Without thinking and practising, virtue and shared character cannot be developed.


We have to build ourselves over our lifetimes. You have to stay centred and balanced in the face of terrible pain, desperate need, and unfathomable chaos. When we apply 'good at' to our lives, we need to set the purpose of life right and judge specific situations in terms of that purpose.


​


In the process of constantly thinking about, practising, and realizing the purpose of one's life, the key is ultimately to achieve a balance in life. The ultimate goal of the art of life is a 'deep heart' that does not go against the law even if you do whatever you want. Even if each person follows numerous desires and desires, passions and passions, the power of balance is needed above all else in order to realize what is good for oneself, ultimately 'good for humanity.



A person who has a good character to the very end is surely one who leads a happy life.

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. 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...
