Respect today.

 There is no perfect choice.


There is no right choice.


There is only a process of making a choice and making it right.


If you thought hard before making a choice, you should not look back after making a choice.


No matter what choice you make, once you make a choice, the answer is there.


​


Respecting today and making my choices right here and now is what I can and should do.


Only those who fully enjoy the moment and do their best in the moment can know the preciousness of this moment.


​


No other answer can ever be my answer, so I have to focus on the present to acknowledge that fact.


Only those who have personally felt the splendor of the moment I lived can acknowledge and affirm themselves.


Furthermore, you can affirm the lives of others.




萬物皆備於我矣


反身而誠樂莫大焉


​


'Since all the principles of all things are provided to me, if you look back on me and put all your heart into what you are doing now, the joy will be greater.'


the mencious's words.


All things are prepared, so I only have to do my best.


If I do my best in my choices, my actions, and my moments, the joy of life is greatly increased.


​


I am now located in this spatial point that I occupy, at this exact moment in time. I cannot allow this point to be inconclusive.


André Gide


To dream of 'over there' from where I am standing is a disregard for this space, a disregard for this time, and a contempt for the self standing there.


Life is a 'continuous occurrence of present moments'. Life is the sum of moments.


If you can find all happiness in the moment, you can have God in every moment of the day.


Not to have in abundance, but to exist in abundance.


​


The moment I realize the magnificence of worldly things, nothing great in this world is less than a piece of paper before my eyes.


Respect for the present, respect for the things in front of me, make me live a whole life.


​


If you don't give meaning to the present moment, right now, happiness will only be found at the end of life.


Give meaning to each moment. Otherwise, our life will be a sum of meaningless moments.


​


seize the splendid moment


make my choice right


Respect today.


If I could live in the moment, every moment would become the flower of my life.


There is an answer in the present, and if you live by making the answer right, life will sparkle with immaculate bliss and small pieces of life without exception.

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. 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...
