shameful heart.

 shameful heart.


​


​


"Those who are hungry eat sweet, and those who are thirsty drink sweet. At this time, the original taste of eating and drinking cannot be known. Because hunger and thirst spoil the taste. How can only the mouth and stomach suffer from hunger and thirst like this? There is the same year. If a person does not hurt his heart with hunger and thirst, he does not worry about falling short of others."


- Mencius


​


The same problem can occur not only with eating and drinking, but also with the mind.


Hunger and thirst harm the body, but it is the hunger and thirst for wealth that harms the mind.


A person's heart is harmed not only when he is poor, but also when he enjoys wealth.


In both cases, you lose the correct criteria for judging wealth and have no correct values.


​


​


"The mouth and stomach suffer from hunger and thirst, so they have no time to hide what they eat and drink and lose their good taste. Because the heart of a person is poor and suffers from the lowly, it has no time to hide from wealth and loses its sensible reason. ... When hunger and thirst impair the sense of taste, food is considered sweet even if it is not sweet. If selfishness harms the nature of benevolence, it is considered right even if it is not right to do."



He thought that he was deceiving himself by not knowing the original taste due to hunger and thirst.


so is the mind. If greed and greed harm the heart of 'righteousness', it becomes a self-deception that does not even realize one's own faults.


Self-deception occurs to protect oneself from guilt, shame, and self-destruction due to one's own faults or immorality. By not thinking about your mistakes, you don't realize your shame. Self-deception is also aimed at deceiving others rather than self. In order to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. This makes him feel that he has not done the wrong that he has done, or that his immoral behavior is morally right happiness. It's not just about doing something and complaining that you didn't do it because you're interested in it, it's about thinking that you didn't really do it.


Paralyzed by greed, you forget your shame.


​


Shame is to listen to the voice of my heart.


If you want to keep your heart, you need a standard that allows you to control yourself and be temperate.


It is the shame of the heart.


If I feel ashamed of my secret heart that no one knows about, it is shameful.


​


"It is essential for a person to have no shame. If he is ashamed that he has no shame, there is nothing to be ashamed of."


- Mencius

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...
