Human efforts to find meaning create tension rather than tranquility of the mind.

 Human efforts to find meaning create tension rather than tranquility of the mind.


Victor Frankl says inner tension is absolutely essential for mental health.


to understand the meaning of life,


There is no better way to effectively survive the worst.


Today, Nietzsche's saying that those who know the reason for living can endure any difficulties come to mind once again.


A person is mentally healthy when he is in a certain state of tension.


The tension is the tension between what has already been achieved and what will be achieved in the future.


It is the tension between the gap that lies between the present me and the future me.


This tension is inherent in human beings and is indispensable for mentally well-being.


Therefore, we must not hesitate to challenge our lives so that we can find the meaning hidden within us. Only by doing so can awaken the true will to find the hidden meaning.


It is often said that the first thing a person needs is a stable mind, or 'homeostasis' in biology, that is, a state of no tension. But what real human beings need is not a tension-free state, but rather an effort and struggle for a worthy goal, a goal chosen by free will.


What human beings need is not to be freed from tension in any way, but to bring out the potential meaning of life to be fulfilled in the future.


What humans need is not homeostasis, but mental dynamism.


At one pole, the meaning to be realized,


And the other pole requires existential dynamism in the magnetic field with humans to make their meanings come true.

 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...

Learn and act for a wonderful life.

 Learn and act for a wonderful life. We are only half awake. It is only using a very small part of the physical and mental dimensions. Individuals can live far more abundantly than their own limits. We, humans, possess various kinds of talents that we do not habitually use. Discover, develop, and benefit from talents that are habitually unused, those unused abilities that are in a state of hibernation. ​ Education is the ability to cope with various situations in life. We deal with the moment of choice through education, and the choices we make together lead to a wonderful life. ​ A prerequisite to achieve phenomenal performance. Constantly refreshing yourself! Visualize a more fulfilling, happier, and more rewarding life. Learning is a process of action. Learning without action is empty. People learn by doing. Do the act of recording your daily life. You will gain strength and inspiration to work harder for your own growth. ​

'a heart that is ashamed of the unrighteous', “It is as if there are always two people in your heart. If you want to do good, there seems to be an evil that comes between them. If you want to do bad, it seems like you have a heart of shame. evidence." Even good people have a desire to obey temptations and desires, and it may be a life that everyone must experience to have to keep fighting. But no matter how hard you try, everything is revealed through your actions. Confucius says "Look at what that person is doing, look at the reasons, and observe what only that person is satisfied with. How can people hide? How can they hide?" - << Analects >>, Wijeong If you carefully observe a person's actions and motives, anyone can reveal their true feelings and cannot hide. Inner sincerity, that is, the correctness of bein...
