Age, Nietzsche.

 Age, Nietzsche.


​


Comparing the four seasons to four periods of age is a seemingly plausible folly.


The first 20 years of life and the last 20 years don't fit into any season: provided that people will not be satisfied with comparing the white of their hair to the white of their eyes and similar colors. The first 20 years are a period of preparing for life in general, that is, life is like a long Lunar New Year: Also, the last 20 years are a period of anticipating, internalizing, and synthesizing everything that has been experienced before: it is small but like a new year It's like what people do every New Year's Eve when they look back on the past year. However, among these are actually seasons and periods that make comparisons easy: namely the period from twenty to fifty (here, first of all, ten years collectively correspond to three seasons: summer, spring and autumn.



There is no winter in human life. Unfortunately, one might wish to call the barren, cold, lonely, hopeless and barren period of illness that sometimes intervenes as the human winter.



Twenties: Passionate, boring, thunderous, vigorous and exhausting. At the end of the day, at the end of the day, praising the day and wiping the sweat from your forehead: The time when you think work is hard, but it is essential, your twenties are the summer of your life.



In contrast, the thirties is the spring of life: the thirties are a time when the air gets too warm and too cold all of a sudden, always unstable and irritating, with boiling sap and lush leaves, the scent of flowers everywhere, and many fascinating mornings and nights. It is a time to wake up to the sound of birdsong and go to work, to enjoy the kind of self-preparation that a true heart desires, and to strengthen self-preparation through hopes that are enjoyed in advance.



Finally, the forties are: a time full of mystery, as if everything were at a standstill: a time of being in a place like a high and wide mountain where the refreshing wind blows, and all day long and until the night, always looking at it with unchanging tenderness, a clear, cloudless sky It is the same time as: the season of harvest and the most sincere and cheerful - this is autumn.

Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom.

 Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom. ​ Get your hands off the hanging cliff. Enlightened people say I had to get my hands off the hanging cliff. I can't believe it's a story from Buddhism, which emphasizes mercy and love. Doubts can be easily dispelled. A 'hanging cliff' is actually just an object of obsession, believing that it will die if it is released even though there is no problem. The 'hanging cliff' is different for each person. It could be youth, health, family, money, home, or children. Or it could be love, it could be friendship, it could be the approval of others.   It is clear that the person who cannot lift his hand from the cliff is not free, he is not the master of his own life. Whatever it is, if it is impossible to live without it, and if it is likely that he will die, he is already a slave to the cliff on which he hangs. If you let go, you will die, but why should you let go? For the freedom to pursue new possibilities in life....

alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self.

 alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self. There are three classes of alchemists. A person who only imitates the language of alchemy without understanding it, Someone who understands but is finally frustrated to know that the language of alchemy is to be followed with the heart and not the head, A person who has never heard of alchemy, but has already become an alchemist by living the life of obtaining the secret of alchemy and discovering the 'philosopher's stone' in his life... ​ Failed alchemists just want to turn lead into gold. He was obsessed with the myth of the self and its treasure, but did not try to live the myth himself. ​ There is only one way to learn, to learn through action. God created this world so that the teachings and wonderful wisdom of the soul can be realized through the visible, and he calls it 'action'. Everything behind the earth gives enlightenment. If you look into even a single grain of sand with love, you can dis...

君子上達 小人下達

Learning flows from the bottom up to the high. ​ A gentleman faces upwards and a small man faces downwards. (君子上達 小人下達) .. - Analects ​ It means that a gentleman goes through high-level studies and disciplines to rectify himself and create a better world, but a small man concentrates on fulfilling his own interests and greed. In addition, <Heonmun> contains words that tell how to do it. That's 'Hahak Sangdal'. It means that no matter how high ideals and dignified life are pursued, daily learning must be a prerequisite. ​ ​ Education must first teach the near and small, and then the far and great. If you do not go through the process of solidifying the basics properly in order to achieve quick results and teach high-level things first, you will collapse at some point, like building a castle on sand. However, if you stop at something close and small, you will not be able to make progress in your studies. The beginning of learning is small and close, but the end of learn...
