questioning being, human

 questioning being, human

​


Humans are creatures who pose questions to the world.


The question of 'why' is an expression of the will of humans to live with their own subjectivity rather than just following what others tell them to do. Only then can human beings become an individual self as an irreplaceable being in the world.


He doesn't become the only one because he has unique answers to the world and to himself. From the moment he asks questions and gently declares that he will not compromise with the world, he can become the person that is second to none in the world.




“Knowing and truth cannot be accepted as complete, but must come only from the individual himself.”


- Pierre Addo


​


He must ask questions through learning, and he must become conscious of himself through questions.


Even if you are at odds with the whole world, you need to be in harmony with yourself.


​


The emergence of modern society required being a 'strong individual' with unique answers. In other words, it is the task of the modern subject to become an individual who is at odds with the world. In addition, the virtue that an individual should pursue is sincerity. Authenticity based on 'being true to yourself' is the moral thread of self-actualization. This refers to an attitude that makes realizing one's true self as the greatest virtue of life.


​


Being authentic means having a deeper and more mature inner world.


This is because the inside of man is a space where he asks questions about himself and pursues his authenticity while at odds with the world. A person without an inner self is not a subject.


Being a subject does not happen naturally or automatically, but is realized only through some active activity, because the activity that makes me a subject is reflective self-consciousness.


​


You will have to express your self-will through questions and stand upright as your individual self.


Declaring not to compromise with the world, it is the person who harbors the question who can endure the discomfort in order to stand as a strong individual.

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...
