 Let's get off the wheel of pleasure and live my life.

​


​

In modern society, the pursuit of happiness is faced with a simple yet fundamental obstacle: 'needs are relative'.


It's about judging your position relative to the group around you.


​


Human decisions are always made by a certain standard, and this reference point changes under the influence of the environment to which one belongs.


A person is not absolutely rich or poor, but rather rich or poor compared to the standards he sets for himself, that is, his expectations.


No matter what situation you are in, the reality of the world around you becomes a new standard.


They are usually happy or unhappy compared to the standard that they say 'normal', but in the end, the current situation always changes to a new standard. Thus, happiness always craves average stability. Because of this nature of happiness, the pursuit of happiness is sometimes compared to the 'wheel of pleasure'. No matter how hard you try, you always stay at the same starting point.

​


A human thinks that he will be happy when he reaches the desired standard, but he follows the law of desire that he did not even know about himself. Humans cannot accept the fact that their needs are highly variable.


He always dreams of a future rise in income, but feels that it is not enough once that dream is realized. For he compares future expectations with aspirations without taking into account that present aspirations are bound to change.


He cannot accept the fact that he changes under the influence of his environment.


​


My existence is the only judge who has given me the right to evaluate what is good for me. This explains why we think 'wealth growth' is more important than 'wealth' itself in operating society.


Growth provides everyone with a fleeting but ever-renewing hope to rise above the current psychological and social status. It is not the realization of growth, but the promise of such growth to calm anxiety.


​


Constantly raising the hurdles of hope for happiness is a shortcut to getting caught up in the wheel of pleasure.


Human beings can be free when they can be freed from vague longing, habituation to situations, and fear of loss.


When you can create your own happiness in freedom, the process to reach results can also lead to happiness.

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...

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...
