Build your life through experience.

Build your life through experience.

In order to be safe, human beings should not be standing still, but constantly striving for something.


He cannot avoid accidents. This is because it is impossible to completely control the events and accidents. But if something is inevitably thrown away, he must learn. You must learn to overcome incompetence. As beings who overcome incompetence, human beings are 'capable' beings, and they can become the subject of shaping fate rather than being swayed by it.


​


Incompetence and competence are not static terms that refer to the present state. It means the will to go beyond the current state, the dynamism. Therefore, only the learner can achieve safety.


Safety is not about sitting still and waiting for death like fate. This is because even if you are incompetent now, you can only achieve safety by becoming more competent through learning. Therefore, we can say that a 'dynamic' society that encourages learning is a society that promotes safety.


 


Conversely, a society in which learning is not required, and furthermore, a society in which speaking or trying to learn is dangerous is a dangerous society. Staying still is not about safety. It is the biggest 'risk factor' for safety.

Only the learner is alive and can make a living. Unlearned is not alive, but in fact is dead. Consciously or unconsciously, people always learn. You have to learn to live. Because the environment around people is always changing. Learning is essential in order to adapt to the environment and to change the environment in any way that is beneficial to people.


When learning ceases, life ceases. From a passive point of view, cessation of learning is synonymous with cessation of adaptation to the environment. Learning is a process of life itself.


​


The learning process is a series of experiences. At the smallest level, experience is the process of meeting and adapting to a changing environment or an unfamiliar and new environment. In the process of surviving rather than dying in the face of unexpected circumstances or events, we learn how to act next. For example, putting your hand into a fire will burn you. If you don't die and survive, there's no way you'll ever set your hands on fire again. He learned 'next' through the experience of burning. Knowing how to act 'next' can lead to it not left to chance. This is because through learning, humans can control expected risk factors and promote safety through the control. Safety is not passive, but active.


​


If life is learning and learning is a series of experiences, a life that does not learn through experience is already a dead life. If the learning from this experience does not promise the next time, the next time will be entirely left to chance or luck. This life is a life lived by chance. If he sets his hands on fire again after experiencing burns, he will one day be burned to death. Life cannot be pursued through a lucky charm. A life that does not learn through experience is a terrible life that cannot even be called 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. 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...
