Learning, discipline, and mindfulness.

 Learning, discipline, and mindfulness.


​


The poison, the mind, that belongs to me, but I can't do it my way.


Would you dare to understand my heart?


The theme of the last life Dasan faced was the heart.


Mastering the mind is the strength to overcome hardships, and it is the end and conclusion of learning, says Noh.


​


'Poverty, hardship, and worry complete you like jade.'


- Approximation


​


'Adversity and hardship are the crucible and hammer to forge a hogel.'


- Chae Geun-dam


​


'When heaven is about to give a man a great mission in the future, it first afflicts his wick, hardens his bones and tendons, makes his body starve, and renders him nothing, contrary to what he intends to do. It is to stir the mind and make him bear his temper, so that he can do more of what he could not do.' - Mencius


​

​


What benefits can suffering bring in people's lives?


But not everyone gets good results just because they go through hardship. Some people create amazing things through hardship, while others are crushed by hardship. The difference lies in how and with what kind of heart you accept suffering.


In order to overcome hardships and achieve great things, you must have a positive mind to accept hardships.


​


Another is to be able to think quietly about the meaning of suffering in life. You must have the wisdom to know the meaning of your suffering and wait for the right time.


The premise is to maintain a calm and stable mind.


​


When people lose a chicken or a dog, they know how to find it, but they cannot find a lost heart. Learning is nothing other than finding the lost mind. - Mencius


​


Modern people may be living their lives without knowing that they have lost their hearts somewhere. Losing one's mind is the same as losing one's self. Because the mind is itself.


Learning and cultivating are not different, but protecting the mind, and if you lose your mind, you will find it.


​


“If you hold on to it, it is preserved; if you let it go, it is lost”


The mind belongs to the individual, not to anyone. It is me who holds the heart, and it is me who loses it.


My heart is that if I lost it, I have to come back.

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...
