Those who know others are wise, those who know themselves are understanding.

 Those who know others are wise, those who know themselves are understanding.


​

"He who overcomes others has strength, and he who overcomes himself is truly strong."



Knowing others is wise, but knowing yourself is a person with insight and insight beyond that dimension.


It's great to beat others, but the real victory is defeating yourself.


Knowing yourself that much and being able to control yourself is the highest level of being an adult.



​


​


Socrates and Confucius, two people who were recognized as the wisest of all East and West, stood at the starting point of finding wisdom by realizing their ignorance. They realized their shortcomings, and because they reflected on themselves every day, they were able to focus on their studies and gain insight into the true purpose and essence of life.


It is for this reason that they are recognized today as two of the wisest men in world history.


​


Since our lives are made up of relationships with people, we want to know people.


Especially if you are in a position to lead people. So, in order to get to know other people, I study various things and try to gain insight into people through them. But getting to know people must start with knowing yourself.


​


Getting yourself right should be your top priority.


Because if you don't stand in the right place, you won't be able to see others rightly.


If you stand on an incline, your opponent will look crooked, and if you stand in mud, your opponent will inevitably look muddy. That's why the wise men of the world are telling you to value knowing yourself more, and to value knowing yourself more than knowing others.


​


“He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is understanding.”


​


When you feel that you are lacking, you work harder, and you can become a truly strong person with stronger inner strength than you were yesterday.

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...
