person's true self-esteem that protects them.

 "You can't talk with someone who harms you, and you can't work with someone who gives up on yourself. To criticize politeness with words is said to harm yourself. Humanity is a comfortable house in which people should stay, and righteousness is the right path one should walk.



This is an article that explains why people should walk the path of humanity.


Mencius says that people originally received good nature from heaven. And since the virtue derived from that good nature is the wisdom of humanity, it is very natural and natural to follow that path to protect one's own nature. Therefore, if a person does not live with the wisdom of benevolence and condemns such a life with words, it is ruining himself. This is the life of desperation.


​


Desperation means 'mistreating oneself and not taking care of oneself' in today's terms, and it refers to being careless in appearance or behavior. Mencius expressed desperation as not living the life of a human being, which should be respected as a human being. And he warns that he cannot share words with a person who has given up on himself, that is, a person who is unrighteous.


​


Mencius said that those who fail to keep the seal will ruin not only themselves, but also the country and family. This is because self-judgment is dark and they cannot see the situation properly. Even the person who hangs out with such a person is the same. In the end, if he does not correct himself, he becomes a clue to the ruin of the people around him, as well as his family and the country.


​


"The unkind regards danger as safe, disaster as good, and even enjoys destruction.


​

​


People are not interested in getting themselves right. Big and great things, plausible things such as discussing the country and the world are easily discussed and criticized, but they do not know that the root is themselves.


​


"People always say, 'Everyone says 'the country under the heavens'. But the foundation of the world is the country, and the foundation of the country lies in the family. And the foundation of the family is yourself."


​


Knowing yourself is an attitude of introspection. I look back on my shortcomings and try to make myself a better me. Also, loving yourself is an attitude of true self-esteem and self-love. Because you love yourself, you strive to increase your self-worth and make life more meaningful. Only those who know themselves can love themselves, expand that love and love others. It is through the faithfulness and consideration that Confucius sought to reach love. No one who has reached this stage can be reckless. It is not what one has or status, but a person's true self-esteem that protects them.

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....

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...
