Are the Chinese gifted?

 20260415

Are the Chinese gifted?





Yes, they are.

They are gifted with more than a piece of good land.  They are gifted with a medium size of body structure.

And the most important of all is that they are gifted with a non-spelling language.

That means they are gifted with a special brain different from most other nations.

The non-spelling feature is more than a language ability.

When you don't need to "spell" your language,  you are using the other parts of the brain.

It is not a more advanced feature:   And I need to repeat it as it is not more advanced,  it is only different.

When all languages need to spell a word with lots of  letters,  plus a long string of sounds,  the Chinese needs not to spell.

They can use less brain in producing a word.

Well,  its strange:  "Aren't you using lesser brain in writing and talking?"

And the answer might be yes.

"Using less brain"  is funny,  it seems to be a joke.  But actually it needs more study. There are not enough study about it now.

Allocation of brain energy is a huge subject to study.

What if you are not gifted?

 20260414

What if you are not gifted?  



There might be only one out of a billion is specially gifted.

All other people are also gifted but not specially gifted.

But I might be wrong.

I might be completely wrong.

Because the gifts are not given.

Gifts are the result of your own effort.

Gifts are taken.

But still I am not sure about that.

No matter you are gifted or not gifted:  Only one thing is important:   You can take.

God can take and god can give...... It is the general belief of old humans.

What they don't believe is they can take and they can give.

Yes, I can take and I can give.  And you can take and you can give.

People never ask themselves:  "am I gifted?" when they are gifted.

They are only working for it.

How to use a ruler to measure the distance between stars?

 20260414

How to use a ruler to measure the distance between stars?



The above question is only a joke. There is no ruler or any measure tools to measure the universe.

You can imagine.

However,  human imagination is limited.  We have only one tool,  I suppose.   I hope some other tools can be used.   For example, can you use the heart to imagine rather than the brain?

There will be no answer either.

You have been given only a slide ruler.   How can you use a slide ruler to examine the distance?

In this case, it needs a second thought.

You might need to use some other means to farthom the reality.

It remains the eternal question for humans:

Where are we and what are we for?

You'll find wars and many other human behaviors meaningless and childish. 

People will not be stopped until they are lost.

And, questions will remain unanswered if they win.

They will never know the truth even if they win money in the battles.


Joke:

The best negotiation table is on the space.   Invite them to join a party far away outside the solar system.   It will be easier for them to settle down.

Is it stupid to search for unlimited knowledge through a limited lifespan?

20260413

Is it stupid to search for unlimited knowledge through a limited lifespan?



This is the debate happened in China 2000 years ago.   It has a deep influence in Chinese cultural development.

The anti-Zhongtsz people were against any quest for the universal truth.   They thought everything is included in the holy books.....it has created a bad thinking habit since.

The original is like this:  吾生也有涯,而知也無涯。以有涯隨無涯,殆已!

Its not the idea of Zhongtsz,  but was put into the mouth of Zhongtsz by Anti-Zhongtsz people.  It has created much confusion in the past.

Up till this moment,  there are still lots of people indifferent to any thing other then  entertaining or  money searching.

Therefore, the question always remains:

"Is it stupid to search for unlimited knowledge through a limited lifespan?"

The choice is yours.

What is the above?

  20260412

What is the above?


Suppose you can fly.   Suppose you can fly high on the sky.   Suppose you can fly outside the sky.  Suppose you can fly far far away.   For how long? 100 years, I suppose.   And of course, you can change that.   If you can manage your spirit and bring it up to another level thousands more,  can the outcome become clearer?  


You have only a little measurement of a hundred years.  

Can the hundred year  measure the unlimited far end of this universe?

I am not very optimistic about this, but still you can try.

This is called the "situation" (勢) of humans.

It is extremely important whether you know this situation or not knowing this situation.(知形不知勢)

You'll be more humble and doing things in a proper way.

If you know you are not equipped with  unlimited power,  if you know you have a limitation for you,  will you dare to do more?

Yes, the human nature brings out an answer:   Yes, we dare.


And a little advice would be advisable:

Yes, we dare and we care.

You can reach a certain goal hopefully with that.

Why culture is important?

 20260411

Why culture is important?



Politics is the structure, but culture is the spirit.

If you have a good spirit, you can build a good structure. And nothing can be achieved without the inner strength of spirit.

If a country is strong,  it is strong from inside.

Culture is not easy to explain in simple words. Even though sometimes you can use a few lines or a few words to define the way you want to do.   But the hidden inner feeling can never be expressed simply.

Culture can be a song, a story or a book.   Culture is the soft size of human spirit.  Politics is more like an action taken.

A good culture can make politics easier to carry on. It needs less discipline and less regulations.   People will do things automatically through a good spirit.  And it is ideal.

If you can sing your hearts out,   you don't need to shout, and you don't need to shoot.

Culture is the long term planning of civilization.

Only the problem is people do not know how to do it.

Why Hong Kong has got the highest fuel price?

 20260410  B

Why Hong Kong has got the highest fuel price in the whole world?




Question:   is it political or  artificially raised?


Based on the available data, here are the places with the highest gasoline prices in the world. The data consistently confirms Hong Kong as having the most expensive fuel globally .


🌍 Top 10 Most Expensive Places for Fuel


Rank Location Approximate Price (USD per liter) Key Context

1 Hong Kong (SAR of China) ~$3.97  World's most expensive; high taxes and land costs drive prices .

2 Malawi ~$2.86  Landlocked African nation with high transport costs.

3 Netherlands ~$2.42  High taxes and stringent environmental policies.

4 Denmark ~$2.36  High fuel taxes, even higher than Hong Kong as a % of price .

5 Norway ~$2.35 - $2.22  High taxes despite being a major oil producer .

6 Germany ~$2.20  Europe's largest economy with high excise duties.

7 Singapore ~$2.17  Regional financial hub with limited domestic market.

8 Finland ~$2.27  Nordic taxation model for environmental goals.

9 Belgium ~$2.23  High VAT and excise duties on petroleum products.

10 France ~$2.19  Significant taxes to fund public services and discourage car use.


Note: Prices fluctuate daily due to global oil prices and exchange rates. This ranking is based on data from late March to early April 2026 .


🧐 Why Is Fuel So Expensive in These Places?


The primary reason these locations top the list is high government taxation, which is often used to fund social services, discourage car use, and meet climate goals . For example, while Hong Kong has a fixed fuel tax, the percentage of taxes in the final price of fuel in European countries like Denmark or the Netherlands can be as high as 50% to 60%, which is significantly higher .


The high ranking of places like Hong Kong and Singapore is compounded by other unique factors, such as extremely high land costs for fuel stations and the fact that they are city-states or cities that must import all their refined fuel .


🏁 A Note on Price Comparisons


It is important to note that the final price at the pump can be very different from the price of crude oil. For example, while the US was experiencing a national average of around $4.00 per gallon (approx. $1.06 per liter) in early April 2026 due to global tensions , this is still far lower than the prices listed above because of much lower fuel taxes .



Why is the Hong Kong fuel price three times that of Shenzhen?

 20260410  

Why is the Hong Kong fuel price three times that of Shenzhen?


It has been lasting  for an extremely long time. Hong Kong transport  are suffering from high prices of fuel. It is directly influential to the Hong Kong economy.    There must be a reason behind it.  Actually the fuel in Hong Kong is from mainland China.  The five oil companies have been raising the price together to an unreasonable high.   Yet there is no control.

Some of the oil companies are from China,   but they are same with the other foreign companies.  They do not offer a lower price. (There might be more complicated reasons behind.)

It is strange,  but it has been lasting for a long time.



Below is a list from an AI machine


目前三地的汽油价格差距悬殊,深圳的油价最低,大约是香港的三分之一,澳门则处于中间位置。


以下是具体价格对比(数据截至2026年3月底):

· 深圳 (内地):约 7.7 - 9.5 元 (人民币/升)。按当前汇率折算约 8.2 - 10.2 港币,是三地中最低的。

· 澳门:约 15.05 元 (澳门币/升)。按当前汇率折算约 14.6 港币,价格比内地高,但比香港便宜。

· 香港:21.29 - 23.79 港币/升。这通常是各油站优惠后的价格,挂牌价则在 31.79 港币 左右。


三地油价差异悬殊,核心原因未明。


1. 税负差异

(稅項不是香港油價高的原因。除稅後的計算,香港仍是最高。)

   · 香港:燃油税极高,每升汽油征收约 6.06港币 的消费税。

   · 澳门:燃油税相对较低,每升约 2.0-2.5澳门币,所以油价处于中间水平。

   · 深圳:油价虽含增值税、消费税等,但整体税负比港澳低。加上内地有价格调控(天花板价),避免油价过高。

2. 市场与成本

   · 香港:市场由少数公司主导(如壳牌、埃索),竞争较弱。同时土地、仓储、人工成本,可能进一步推高价格。

   · 深圳:内地炼油能力大,供应稳定。中石油、中石化等国企零售网络密集,区域竞争拉低了终端价格。

3. 定价机制

   · 香港、澳门:由油公司決定,价格随国际油价和成本自由浮动(?)

   · 深圳:实行政府指导价,每10个工作日调整一次,有“天花板价”和“地板价”限制,避免价格剧烈波动。



根据截至 2026年4月4日 的最新数据,香港五大油公司的门市折后价如下。


香港五大油公司汽油折后价对比 


油公司 汽油种类 门市折后价 (港币/升) 零售牌价 (港币/升)

Shell (蜆殼) 标准/特级无铅汽油 $21.89 $32.39

Caltex (加德士) 标准无铅汽油 $25.19 $32.X19

 特级无铅汽油 $25.39 $32.39

Esso (埃索) 标准/特级无铅汽油 $25.39 $32.39

中石化 标准/特级无铅汽油 $25.39 $32.39

中石油 标准/特级无铅汽油 $25.39 $32.39

What is heartless?

 20260409

What is heartless?




Not all politics are heartless.   Politics can be  communications and not wars.

Heartless approach can be the behaviour of a special kind of brain function.   Some people can only use their left brain to calculate.   They can not use the right brain to know the total situation,   and they cannot use the emotion part of the brain to feel it.   When they can only calculate,  they will become ruthless.    They will not consider how people suffer,   they can only calculate incomes.

It's  heartless for some people.

Question is, do we need a heart  to handle international politics?

Politics will be more vividly clear in the views of a heart.   Politics cannot be only figures and numbers. It is too old fashioned.  Politics cannot neglect  feelings.

However, it is only a theory.  It is not a real situation.  

Modern science can spot and kill anyone by a remote control.  If you do not have similar device to avoid detection,  it would be extremely dangerous.

Can you hide yourself?

Smaller countries are vulnerable and easily be eaten alive.

It is a heartless situation.

How to beat wolves?

 20260409

How to beat wolves?


I have experience in fighting dogs,  but never fighting wolves.

To fight a dog is easy.  Most of the time you won't have a weapon at hand.   The dogs would bark and follow you.   You tried to walk slowly away.   But the dogs will follow.  They were more dangerous in night time,  or in silent streets.   I was followed a few minutes,   The teeths were almost on my trouser. I suddenly turn around,   the dogs were scared and turned away.

However, wolves won't be scarced.

What if you were surrounded by wolves?

I read from an old story:   A man was surrounded by wolves,   his friend came with a horse to rescue him.  The horse was running fast and the man drew him on the horseback and speed away.

What if you have no friends to help?

And what if you are alone?

You need to have wisdom and bavery to survive.

And you need to be well prepared.

You can't wait until things happen.




note 

Here are short stories from Strange Tales from a Chinese old book (Liaozhai Zhiyi) about butchers and wolves.


 (The Greedy Wolf)

A butcher carrying leftover meat in a hook came across a wolf following him. Fearing for his life, he hung the meat on a tree branch and showed the wolf his empty basket. The wolf left. The next morning, the butcher returned to find the wolf dead—it had leaped for the meat, got caught on the hook, and was hanging from the branch.


 (The Farmer’s Trick)

A butcher hid in a small shed when wolves tried to attack. A wolf reached a claw through a gap. The butcher grabbed it, cut a small slit in the skin, and blew air into it like he would a pig’s carcass. The wolf swelled up like an ox and couldn’t escape.

What price you are prepared to pay?

 20260406

What price you are prepared to pay?



There is a price for everything.    You need to pay a price for your award,  or your punishment if you are not awared.

Price is never an easy thing.

Sometimes the price is so big, it is more than your life.

But still you need to pay for it.   It is no exception.

But the worse part of the price is hesitation.

It is more or less the same as greed.

If you want too much, you need to pay.

If you refuse to pay too much, still you need to pay.

Isn't it wonderful?

People who refuse to pay will suffer more.

There is no free lunch.

What is the future of the three kingdoms?

 20260405 

What is the future of the three kingdoms?




The absolute result is:    There will not be three kingdoms in the future.    There will only be one dominant power on this planet.   The three kingdoms balance will maintain only for a short time,   it will not be forever.

Imminent is the Taiwan issue.

Taiwan issue is US-China issue.

There will be only one result:  Either the East wins or the West wins.    There shall not be any illusion. And there shall not be any non-practical imagination.

The conflict will not be dissolved or disappeared.  Conflict will become stronger and stronger until one day,  there will be a war.

The war might be a soft war or a hard war.

The determined side will win.   The un-determined side will lose.

There will be no room for a happy ending.

Only one will be happy.

There will not be a free-lunch.   The United States will not give up Taiwan.   The conflict will not be settled by negotiation.   There will be no use for talking.

The United States needs to prepare for a bad result for themselves. If  serious  conflict really happen,  they need to prepare a lost inside the land of the United States.  There will not be any guarantee for the safety inside the soil of the US.  Same is China.  

If anyone side is weakened in their will, they must prepare for a bad losing.

Wars are determined first by the will,  any other consideration is secondary.

The so-called three kingdoms  will not be really a three-side situation.

There will be only one major conflict.


note:

China is in the defensive side, US is in the attacking side.

The defensive side is easy to have illusions.

How to win over a pretty woman?


It is the basic requirement of a man.   If you don't know how to conquer a woman, how can you conquer the world?   If you cannot reach the mind of your love,   how can you reach the mind of your universe?

It is more than a love approach,   it is the dedication of your whole self into this universe. 

To reach the unreachable star.

The idea is simple,  the aim is sacred.

Prepare yourself and your heart.

Sorry, I have to interrupt a little here:  Its more than a love affair, it is politics.

Politics is love.

What is the use of a closed palm(合什)?




It will close the circuit of your inner energy if you put your palms together and close them.

And then the qi can be flowing  in a circular way within.

Its the general  practice of some religious people to close the palms.  It helps to maintain the inner peace of mind.

The calming effect will happen very quickly.

It helps to create the peace of mind.

How qi can be related to health?

 20260402

How qi can be related to health?



For the time being,  its only a kind of heresay,  or a method not accepted by academic people.

Many people believe it. it can help in a certain way of healing.

It is not hundred percent perfect.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.  It depends, but no one knows what it depends.

Anyone can try it with his own experience.

And it is possible to find qi in your body.

One will be very healthy if one knows how to  activate qi.

It is possible to heal minor health issues with qi.

But I don't know whether qi can help in serious sickness.   Because I have never tried.

I do hope qi can be deeply studied and  developed like any other medical science.

Qi is still the same for the last 10 years in the  medical  circle.

There is no progress in studying qi.

 20260402

Why it is important to search the universe?



Actually we humans are in a completely blind situation.

We  know only an extremely small part of the total reality of the human situation.

We don't know where are we from.   We don't know where are we going to.  We don't know why we need to live on the planet.   We don't know the role and the aim of our planet earth.

But we need to change our mindset.

I hope humans can know more about this planet and the future of our situation.

It is like a great building of no end.   Each of us can come to work for a little while only.  No one knows the ultimate purpose of this great work.   But still we are working on it.   Only imagination can help a little bit.   You can only imagine.

Some people cannot imagine.  They can only calculate.  But calculation is useless in our  situation.  

We are oblidged to work for an unknown purpose.

An unknown purpose cannot be calculated in the amount of the money you earn.  You can work for only a little while and then you have to leave.

It will be ok if your work is welcomed.   And it will be sad if your work is rejected..... Not everyone can know the value of everything.    But still you are working on it.   You are answerable only to the unknown....or,  to the God you choose.

It is absurd.   But everyone is working on it.   It is because you need to eat.  

Maybe you can think more.

You will feel better if you can think positively.

And there is always a time for you to get back to work.   And you are warned not to ask anymore.

Only because someone is preparing a war.

And you'll be a slave after the war.

Why no one has ever come back?

 20260401 B

Why no one has ever come back?


Yes, it is a little disappointed. Actually, no one has come back. All the kings and common folks, heroes and villains, good people and bad people,  no one has ever come back.   Some historical great people promised to come back but they didn't.   Even Jesus did not come back.

They were gone like the silver stars.   They were gone like a great river of silver stars on the heaven.  They are many.  Many are sparkling like a star in the dark nights.

Where are they now?

It is extremely disappointing sometimes.   Some of them are adorable, but you can never reach them.

Nor they can never reach you.

What do you call this?

It is loneliness.

It is the complete sadness of human beings.

Where are you my love?

Can't  you hear me?

They were always silent. 

Like what?

Like you and me.

It is so sad.

It is really bad.

Does it need to take 3000 years to flower?

 20260331

Does it need to take 3000 years to flower?


It was from a Chinese fairy tale,  that the fruits on the tree of immortality, can bring a magical life of no end.  However,  all of the Queen Mother's fairy peaches of immortality were picked and eaten by Sun Wukong

The fruits need a long time to grow.   It needs 3000 years to  flower,  and another 3000 years to bear fruit.

How much time is that?

It is 6000 years.

It is more or less the age of China.

From the aspect of a fairy tale,   now is the time for China to bear fruit.

6000 years is a short time from the aspect of the Universe. 

You can see human history is only a child.

All we can hope is the child can grow up faster in a healthy way.

And we hope the fruit can bring in real longevity to the world.


note:

What is the lesson from the fairy fruit?

What is the teachings from Sun Wukong?

Yes, you need to steal and eat the fruit.

If you don't take action, none can be achieved.

Why Li Si failed ?

 20260330

Why Li Si(李斯) failed ?





The failure of Li Si is famous in the Chinese history.  He died a tragic death,  his body was cut into two from the waist.

All because he was powerless.   He was only an adviser,   he did not have soldiers,  and he cannot control the army.  His failure is certain not because of his idea, but because he was powerless.

There are lots of political theories about power and its control.

But in fact, none of the power was in the hands of the people.  Election was only a game.

The power was in the Emperor of Qin and a small group of people in history.

And more important is in the thoughts of Li Si.

He did not care about the whole country.   He had only self interest in his mind.  But he could not protect himself.

Politics is a game in many aspects.  

Julius Caesar minded about the country more than himself,  but he was assassinated easily.   He could not read the minds of his subordinates.   Everyone around had a thought to kill him, but he did not know. 

If he knew more about his comrades,  and if he knew how to protect himself,  Rome will be truely great.

When people can only see far away but cannot see  nearby danger,  tragedy will happen.

Nearby people will keep your eyes and ears shut and closed,  it is most dangerous.

A mobile phone is dangerous for modern leaders.  It is the aim of flying missiles.  But the mobile phone is more than your eyes.   It is your tool for thinking.

Can you give away your eyes and ears to avoid  missile attacks?

It is the most important dilemma in modern politics.

How happy it will be hunting rabbits with your dog?



"I wish to lead our yellow hound with you once more and go out the east gate of Shangcai to chase after cunning hares—but how could it ever be possible now!"

--- "Records of the Grand Historian", Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, before his execution, said to his son.

「吾與若復牽黃犬,  俱出東門逐狡兔, 豈可得乎? 」出自《史記·李斯列傳》,是秦朝丞相李斯臨刑前對兒子說的話。


 There are different kinds of happiness,   Everyone would know what happiness was in his memory.....

 If you don't know,  don't worry,  it will come back to you in your worst moment of life.  By then you will know what is happiness.

Important is to know it before it is gone.

Important is to know your happiness and enjoy it..........before it is gone.

Do not hesitate.   Do what you need to do.

I repeat once more here:

Do not hesitate.


明月幾時有?  把酒問青天。 不知天上宮闕,今夕是何年。

我欲乘風歸去,又恐瓊樓玉宇,高處不勝寒,起舞弄清影,何似在人間?

天空闊,心廣大,我尋求。

心中有夢,前路遙遠莫疑遲。

時間空間仍有限,但我心潮澎湃。

希望竟然有,但願明日好,醒覺在人間。


When will the moon be clear and bright?

With a cup of wine. I ask the azure sky.

I wonder in the celestial palaces tonight,

What year it is up there on high?


I long to ride the wind;

Yet I fear that in the jade heavens so fair,

Cold would be too much to bear.

Dancing to the fleeting shadow, I’d find

That life on earth is not a lesser kind.


The sky is vast, my heart is wide—and I am seeking.

With my dreams, though far the road, don’t hesitate.

Time and space have their bounds, yet my spirit surges great.


Hope, after all, is here; may tomorrow be clear,

And I wake again in this human sphere.





note

In the Shiji (Records of the Grand Historian), Biography of Li Si, just before his execution, Li Si lamented to his son:

"I wish to lead our yellow hound with you once more and go out the east gate of Shangcai to chase after cunning hares—but how could it ever be possible now!"

This took place in the second year of Qin Er Shi (208 BCE). Li Si was falsely accused of treason by Zhao Gao and sentenced to be cut in two at the waist. As he faced death, he turned to his second son, who was to be executed alongside him, and spoke with deep sorrow of the simple life they once led in their hometown of Shangcai—leading a yellow dog and going out the east gate to hunt wild rabbits.

Why you cannot kill freely with a gun, but ok with a missile?

 20260328

Why you cannot kill freely with a gun,  but ok with a missile?




Another way to ask the same question is:  Why  wars can be started without permission from the people?

This is not only a turning point of history.  This is the real situation of "democracy" in human civilization.

The United States is not only killing its enemies.  They are killing their own system of democracy.

The meaning of election or  "freedom" is absurd.  It is completely nonsense.

The question is: can the wisdom of humans be  improved  after the war?

It is more than an examination for the human civilization,   And it can show the real quality of the scholars and intellectuals in the West.

Why wars can be started freely and killings can be a  leisure to enjoy ?

No one will trust democracy anymore.

Smart people will know more than that.

You cannot use a gun to kill freely and,  you cannot talk freely over the phone anymore.

You are not living in freedom.

And this is the year 2026.

It's difficult to attack Iran



攻打伊朗甚艱難

飛彈落在峰嶺間

美元難敵黃金價

遲早散落在深山


It's difficult to attack Iran

Missiles on the frying pan

Falling like US dollars

Whose tragedy again?

Far beyond the clouds

 


望遠雲山望遠難,

朝霞以外是空閒。

仿佛三千里路遠,

佳人何處嘔歌傳。

Far beyond the clouds, far beyond to see;

Emptiness,  clouds beyond the morning mist

Three thousand miles stretch endlessly

Oh, where shall I send my song to thee?

Why is morality still vital?

 20260326

Why is morality still vital?


  

Morality is still vital in modern politics and everyday life.

If there is no morality,  the society will go wrong.   It is more than personal health.  The total direction of a society or a country will be going downward if morality is neglected.

The spirit of a country is supported by morality.   There will be a tragedy if morality is lost when people are doing things for the sole purpose of making fast money.

Happiness will be gone.   Inner peace of mind will be gone.   Decisions will be wrong.  Failure is imminent and unavoidable.

Important is the balance of powers will be gone too. When people cannot trust each other, there will be no safety.  How can world peace be sustained by thieves?

Morality is vital because it is supported by people and it is the final result of victory.

Morality is a good mind.

What will happen if the balance of the three-kingdom is lost?

20260325

What will happen if the balance of the three- kingdom is lost?


In  all the history of humankind,  the present situation is unseen before.   There was never a time  when the powers are in a almost completely balanced situation.

I don't know how long this situation will last.   I don't know how long this peaceful situation can  maintain.

No one would like to see if one side of this balance is suddenly growing very fast.

And I don't know whether the world peace is governed by a reasoning power, or greed, or fear.

The behavior of the United States is skeptical.   

They took Venezuela and all its resources suddenly,  and now they were starting to take Iran.   It happened only at the same moment in a historical view.

It is obvious that someone is trying to break the balance.

History will have a new chapter if the balance is broken:  though it is not easy.

An important issue is to have a concern if it is unavoidable.

What will happen if all morality is lost?

 20260324

What will happen if all morality is lost?

 


Our history is experiencing something very special.   It seems morality is completely useless in world politics.  They don't need even a pretext to start a war to take all your wealth by killing.

It is a serious turning point in history.

People need to have nothing but a pretext to do extremely negative things before. And now its no more.

They have forgotten all pretexts.    They don't need them.  I came I took and I killed.  As long as they are stronger than you.   It is worse than the jungle.

History will remember this moment.

What is needed in a jungle?  

It needs a really strong power to be a true leader,  just to kick away the unfit ones.





notes from AI

The exact wording is the Latin phrase "Veni, vidi, vici."

It translates to "I came, I saw, I conquered."

The saying comes from a report Julius Caesar sent to the Roman Senate around 47 BC, after his swift victory over Pharnaces II of Pontus at the Battle of Zela. The phrase is recorded in Plutarch’s Life of Caesar and Suetonius’s The Twelve Caesars.

After "Veni, vidi, vici," Caesar returned to Rome as the undisputed master of the Roman world. However, his unprecedented power and the title "dictator for life" (dictator perpetuo) alarmed many senators who feared he aimed to abolish the Republic and make himself king.


*Assassination

On March 15, 44 BC, Caesar was assassinated in the Theatre of Pompey in Rome by a group of 60 or more senators, led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus.

· The Attack: Caesar was stabbed 23 times. According to the historian Suetonius, a physician later determined that only the second wound to his chest was fatal.

· Famous Last Words: While Shakespeare popularized the Latin phrase "Et tu, Brute?" ("You too, Brutus?"), ancient historians like Plutarch and Suetonius report that Caesar either said nothing or said in Greek, "Kai su, teknon?" ("You too, my child?") as Brutus struck the blow.

* Aftermath: Chaos and Civil War

The assassination did not restore the Republic. Instead, it triggered a power vacuum and more civil war.

*Antony's Funeral Speech: 

At Caesar's funeral, Mark Antony gave a masterful speech that turned public opinion against the assassins. He displayed Caesar's bloody toga, pierced by 23 dagger wounds, and read Caesar's will, which left money and public gardens to the people of Rome. The crowd erupted in fury, burning the Senate House and forcing Brutus and Cassius to flee the city.

* The Rise of Augustus: 

Caesar's 18-year-old adopted heir, Octavian (later known as Augustus), allied with Mark Antony and Lepidus to form the Second Triumvirate.

*The Battle of Philippi (42 BC): 

The Triumvirate hunted down Caesar's assassins in Greece. Antony and Octavian defeated the armies of Brutus and Cassius at Philippi. Both conspirators committed suicide after the defeat.

*The End of the Republic

With the assassins dead, the Triumvirate eventually turned on each other. By 31 BC, Octavian defeated Antony and Cleopatra, becoming the first Roman emperor. Ironically, Caesar's death cleared the path for the very monarchy his assassins had tried to prevent.

Can minds really be captured before the war?

20260324

Can minds really be captured before the war?




It is an ideal in war theories.

It was in the thoughts of many people in Chinese history,  that if you can have the minds, you can have everything.

It was proved in the war against Japanese invasion.

I don't know whether there will be really a war in the Taiwan strait.

I don't know whether the mind theory will be same  or not in the future.

If the minds are not captured,  will the army be sent neglecting the mind?

To reach the core before openning the shell: its was said before.

If the core is reached and controlled, the war is won.

If the shells are broken without reaching the core,  then everything will be ruined.

It will be the same in the US-Iran war.

However, minds are not in the consideration in every war.  

Then what is the consideration?

Oil.

Take away all resources and money,  and don't mind the minds......its the least important thing.

It is like a robbery happened in the neighborhood.

It is calling for minds to react.

Can "qi" be used outside the human body?

Can "qi" be used outside the human body?

 

Qi is like an energy flow.   But it seems qi can only flow inside the human body.   Some people thought that qi can jump from one body into another body.

What if it is true?

If the world is not turned upside down because of this,  the science of medicine may be.

Some qi masters have the experience that they will feel tired or even exhausted after they had used qi in healing.

Qi is an energy not fully understood.

The question is:  is the science of qi marketable?

Can meridians connect outside the body?

 20260324

Can meridians connect outside the body?



In traditional Chinese medicine, the human body is said to have 12 principal meridians. They are correspond to the six yin and six yang organs.

In addition, there are 8 extraordinary vessels (suchas the Ren Mai and Du Mai), which are also considered meridian-like pathways. The total number of main channels is often cited as more than 12 when including the extraordinary vessels.

It is only imagination that  the meridian should be connected,  or even  extended outside the body.

If the energy flow is "qi",  can it be used like electricity to "light up" light bulbs?   This is a question raised  more than 10 years,  but new findings are rare.......

"How lovely is the lotus flower? " 

        by Zhou Dunyi




She is from the mud but she is clean

出污泥而不染

She is from the masses but she is pure

濯清漣而不妖

She understands 中通

She is straight 外直

She won't fall into a group 不蔓

She don't join the gang 不枝

Her fragrance reaches far beyond 香遠益清

She is finely standing 亭亭淨植

One admires, but no one can push her into the profane

可逺觀而不可褻玩焉




愛蓮説        周敦頤


水陸草木之花,可愛者甚蕃。晉陶淵明獨愛菊。自李唐來,世人甚愛牡丹。予獨愛蓮之出淤泥而不染,濯清漣而不妖,中通外直,不蔓不枝,香遠益清,亭亭淨植,可遠觀而不可褻玩焉。

予謂菊,花之隱逸者也;牡丹,花之富貴者也;蓮,花之君子者也。噫!菊之愛,陶後鮮有聞。蓮之愛,同予者何人?牡丹之愛,宜乎眾矣!




The Language of Flowers


by  Zhou Dunyi  1017-1073

(Translated by Herbert A. Giles)   1845-1935

Lovers of flowering plants and shrubs we have had by scores, but Tao Yuan-ming alone devoted himself to the chrysanthemum. Since the opening days of the Tang dynasty, it has been fashionable to admire the peony; but my favourite is the water-lily. How stainless it rises from its slimy bed! How modestly it reposes on the clear pool – an emblem of purity and truth! Symmetrically perfect, its subtle perfume is wafted far and wide, while there it rests in spotless state, something to be regarded reverently from a distance, and not be profaned by familiar approach.

In my opinion, the chrysanthemum is the flower of retirement and culture; the peony, the flower of rank and wealth; the water-lily, the Lady Virtue sans pareille.

Alas; few have loved the chrysanthemum since Tao Yuan-ming; and none now love the water-lily like myself; whereas the peony is a general favourite with all mankind.



What power is unstoppable?

 20260321

What power is unstoppable?



Military powers are always stoppable. Especially when the power is from greed.   When the power wants something out of an unnecessary greed,  it is not non-stoppable.

Maybe it is a natural design of humans.   People wants to live on,   if their livelihood is taken away,  they will fight.

Greed is stoppable,  but love, wisdom and all other positive intentions are not.

To put it in an imagination of mathematics,  the positive side will be 1.001 while the negative side may be 0.999

The two sides are not equal.

If they are equal, the planet will not move.

It is only imagination.  If the imagination is true,  then day time will be 0.001 more than night time, and its very unlikely.

It is only fun.

But we may draw a conclusion from the joke:


Love is unstoppable and wisdom is unstoppable, too.


And this might be the hope for human beings:  though it is only a dream, or a joke.


note:

Is it possible that the positive side is 1.00000000000000000000000001?

Its only a little bit more.

And you positive guys are sure win because of it.

What is the use of "Classical Chinese" in the brain?

 20260321 B

What is the use of "Classical Chinese" in the brain?



It is a tool to upgrade the  brain.

If you can use Classical Chinese (古文) freely,  you have a brain of double levels.

Or even if you cannot use the Classical Chinese freely,  but you manage to use a little part of them,   you know what people is writing about,   you know the older form of expression in Chinese language,  then your brain is not in a single level. You can use different level expressions. 

Most average young Chinese students can use Classical Chinese. They know what you are writing (or talking) about.   

Important is to know the different levels in the brain.

It is as simple as the difference of writing and talking.

If you can talk, you are in the level 1.  If you can write, you are in level 2.   If you can use Classical Chinese to express thoughts,   you are in level 3.  If you can borrow  some  Classical Poems to express yourself,   you are in level 3+, or level 4 (if you can use them freely)....

How nice is a "symphony of gardens"

How nice is a "symphony of gardens"



One garden is good but not good enough. Two gardens are better, but not better enough.

We need lots of gardens in this planet.

Gardens are like music.  It is a symphony of gardens.

And that is a very nice garden for us to work on.

A symphony is  more than a short piece.

A symphony is the total of music.

When all the people came together.....

They can sing together and dance together to perform the symphony.

It could be the symphony of flowers.

When all the flowers join together, they will create perfume.

Perfume is the total feeling in the mind.

Perfume is more than color.  Perfume is more than touch.  Perform is reaching. Perfume can reach your mind.

But if the mind is closed.......

Then perfume can only be posted.

Perfume can only be a poster in a billboard.

It is completely useless if the mind is closed.

Outsider cannot open the mind.

It is a grand issue in today's world:

Let all minds be opened.



*yes,  it is grand.................

Why the world should be a garden?

 20260320

Why the world should be a garden?



It is an ideal for humans.  Humans can turn a jungle into a garden.

The world cannot be a jungle forever. The world will  change.

Some of the more advanced countries can be a garden first.   And more and more others will join.

It is not necessarily political.

It is only a dream come true.

It is something for humans to work for.  Very few people can believe that this ideal can be real. Because there are wars,   not only in the battlefield,  war is everywhere:  offices and families.

How can anything be done without politics?

How can it be done without the manipulating powers to manage and control everything?

What is essential for the dreams to come true?

Maybe you need governments,  maybe you need armies,  maybe you need work forces.  You need many things to fulfill a dream.

The first thing is not that.

The first thing is that you must have a dream.

The first thing is that you must have a few people to have the same dream.

Do you think it is possible?

Maybe you have a dream already.

Maybe you wish to tell your dream to other people.

Maybe the dream is a possible dream.

Maybe you still remember that song.

"To dream the impossible dream."

I hope everyone can sing that song together.



ref:   " Man of La Mancha"     a famous musical from 1965, based on Miguel de Cervantes' novel Don Quixote.

The most famous one song in the movies is "The Impossible Dream" (often called "The Quest"). Other well-known songs from the musical include "Man of La Mancha (I, Don Quixote)" and "Dulcinea."


The main actors in the 1972 film adaptation of Man of La Mancha are:

· Peter O'Toole as Don Quixote / Miguel de Cervantes

· Sophia Loren as Dulcinea / Aldonza

· James Coco as Sancho Panza

· Harry Andrews as The Innkeeper / The Governor

· John Castle as Sanson Carrasco / The Duke

· Ian Richardson as The Padre

· Brian Blessed as Pedro

Note: Peter O'Toole's singing was dubbed by Simon Gilbert, as he was not a singer.

Why the world is a garden, not a prison?

 20260320

Why the world is a garden,  not a prison?



If you are in the garden you will be happy.   Even though you are not a flower, you are the soil in the ground.

And you are more than a garden plant.   Because you have a will,  you can choose your own way.

But before the actual things to choose,  before you realize it is a garden, not a prison,  you need to choose what is your way of living.  

You can choose happiness or you can choose other things.

You can choose to grow together with other trees and flowers,  or you can choose to occupy them, or kill them.

Sometimes it is your education,  it is your background,  it is your culture.   you have no choice.  

Someone had chosen to leave the ruling of the King of the State...

He is free.   And he might need to pay a price.

Yes, nothing is free.   Even freedom is not taken for granted.   Freedom is not free.

People need to fight for it.

The garden is not free.   The garden needs efforts.

The garden needs protection. 

Or else,   the garden will turn itself into a jungle,  again.

Bad boys have illusions about magic.  When bad boys are staring at you,  they are staring at your inner side.   

Some people will suddenly be alerted by such chilling eyes.  

Are the magics real? 

Can they see through every thing?

The answer is yes.

They can see through everything and they can take and they can rape and they can kill.

It happens all of a sudden.

Few were awared that the evil has just woken up.

It's so fast and it's so sudden that some people has been killed and many things have been taken.

The evil has been here at your front door.

The evil has been here at your inner room.

The world has suddenly become dark.

Dark night has arrived so fast.

What you need to do then?

Don't you need some more time to think and wait?

Light up the lights.

It is your choice.

Won't it be too irritating for the evils?

Ah ha,  its up to you.

Can the US-Iran war last ?

Can the US-Iran war last ?


It seems no country is supporting the war except one country.   And the United States is only a tool.

Iran is a big country.   It is almost impossible to take over such a big country.  I don't know how long the war can last.  But it won't be a short time.  Except one thing happens: Except the United States is withdrawing suddenly.  But it won't be happened easily. Can you fight a war if you can't win?   That means a  sure failure or a sure lost. And the situation is consuming.   The war will be consuming for a period of time until someone considers it is not possible to consume all the money and they will call it off.

It is only a waste of time.

Because it needs time to consume your expenditure.

I hope they are smarter.

What is the inner meaning of a balance?

 20260317

What is the inner meaning of a balance?



Politics is external and Culture is internal. If the planet is dominated by only one power,  then the inner power of brain will be lost.   Many languages will disappear,   inner mind will be weaken.   The total behavior of human power or human effort will be lost.

But the world powers wish only to dominate the planet.   Inner variety is not concerned by them

When the human efforts is weakened,  All other tragedies will happen.   It is more than the weather. The total effort of human being,  the growth power of human being will be lost bit by bit.

Will there be a period in the human history become one nation dominance?  

Will there be only one language spoken in this planet?

You can call that a doomsday for human.

The vital need of growth is diversification.

And this is the meaning of resistance.   Nations need to protect themselves. 

One-growth is one road to die.

Humans need to have multiple roads.

Their will not be only one flower in the garden. 

There will not be only one species in the planet.

Why there is only one way ahead?

 20260316

Why there is only one way ahead?


This is the question for the whole universe,   or this is the question for the whole country,  or this is the question for only you.  This is a question for every single person.

Everyone has got only one way ahead.   He will not have two ways.

I think I need not explain very clearly about this.  If it is in full detail,   if it is too clear,  the truth will be disappeared.

This is a misconception for most people.   Most people think that there will be many ways for them to do the same thing.    But every way is pointing to the same direction:  The only one direction.

And please take care that we are not talking about death.    We are talking about life.

And there's only one direction for every life.

You must have only one direction, one mind and one idea.

This is the wisdom of the old Chinese philosophers.  Maybe it is the most important idea.  It is 一心一意. (one mind in one thought) (wholeheartedly)

If you put it into another way,  for example 一意孤行 (one thought in one way) or, (obstinately),  it is also ok, though it is a negative comment.

There are too many negative comments around.  If you take them all into considerations, you'll be crippled.    Nothing can be done. 

To win is the most important way.

Everyone must have this in mind.

What is important if you are very rich?

o 20260315

What is important if you are very rich?



First you need to have a better mind.   Because wealth is just like a tool.  It needs a better mind to use it.

If you think that wealth is money or the food you eat, the house you live,  then you are not eligible for  wealth.

Because you might not know how to use it.

Suppose you know it.   Suppose you know it all.  Suppose you agree that money is a tool.  The problem is still there.  

What is the tool for?

If you have the best tool on earth, what are you going to do?

Therefore, a tool  is not first important in your life.  If you are working hard to get money and if you have succeeded in getting money,   if you do not know what is it for,  then it is useless.

Some people have more than money.   They have  power,  which is more useful than money.   Power  can accumulate money easily.  

But the problem is same.

Do they know their own purpose?

Actually they don't need a purpose.

Most of the time. they want only more.

It seems money is never enough for them.   And they want more power.

But they do not know what to do with all their tools.

They can prolong their life.   They can live healthily until old age.   But there is no eternal settlement for them.

Important is to have an aim in life.

If you have an aim in life, you'll be better than most of the rich people.

What is the hope if the enemy is so strong?

 20260314  B

What is the hope if the enemy is so strong?


Yes, sometimes it is extremely difficult for the growth of a weaker nation.

Can they survive the hardship?

The so called strong and weak has two sides and its  a long forgotten truth.

Some people are strong externally, but weak internally.   Those with a stronger inner strength can last....... It is an old faith,  it might be true.

You need to fight on.

No matter you are a nation or you are an individual,   No one can take away your inner strength.

Sometimes it is so difficult that you can only eat grass,  it happened in history.   And people were dying like grass.   It is true and it is the story of China.

The problem is: can a stronger nation sustain itself?   To sustain itself both from the inner strength and the external wealth?

It is another challenge for China.   If you are strong, can you keep it well?

And if you are strong, other strong people will envy you.

Wars will not be stopped by reasoning.   Wars can only be stopped by fighting.

The situation is not stable.  And it is natural.

No one can expect external or a longer time of peace without hardship and  extraordinary effort.

What can the Chinese people do?

They can find out their inner strength first.

For example, the traditional form of Chinese languages is one of the tools of the inner strength.

The simplified form or the spelling form of the Chinese language can ruin everything from their inner heart.

The Chinese can win back the the heart of the Taiwan people easily by using the traditional form of the same language and strengthen their mind together.

It is a matter of importance.

What is the near future of human?

What is the near future of human?  




The near future is not very optimistic.  Because a big country is trying to  devour all other smaller countries.   They would take away all resources from other smaller countries. And no one is going to stop them.

I don't know whether it is good or not.

China is always trying to keep itself away from troubles.

China will not protect smaller countries.

No one is going to protect them.

The problem is if the United States is taking away all the oil reserves or any other resources of this planet,  what will happen next?

However.........

The United States cannot stop the internal  development of the Chinese.

Maybe this is the only hope for the future.

No one can expect what internal development could be achieved.   But the Chinese are working hard on it.

As for the weaker smaller countries,  what can they do?

What if your child is naughty ?

What if your child is naughty ?



It seems to be a simple case, but sometimes I am confused.

Because I am confused if my child is naughty or not.

If my child is naughty,  and if I am not prepared to teach him a lesson,  and if the neighbors come.   They beat my child.

Should I say thank you to my neighbor?

But sometimes the case is not simple like that.

The neighbor is a robber.   They steal.

The case is not a black and white case.

It is a little more complicated.

What shall I do?

And of course, you know it.   Because you are firm in your principle, and you know everything.

What if Iran is gone?

 20260310

What if Iran is gone?



China is like a multi-arms Buddha.   Now the arms are gone one by one.  Oil reserves will become  sole assets of the United States.

Which arm will be the next?

If you look at the map,  you'll find out soon who will be the next.

When the branches of a tree were severed one by one,  the tree is dead.

At first they took away one of your leaves only.    And you thought you have plenty of leaves.   Let them take it.

Now the question is serious.

The question is not what next.

Question is what to do right now.

Advisers advise not to do this and not to do that.

It is fatal.

What it needs is to have a clock.   To calculate how much time is left.

How different are China and the United States In foreign policies?

 20260310

How different are China and the United States  In foreign policies?




China is trying to make friends with everyone.

The United States is trying to take advantages of everyone.

It is obvious.  Everyone with eyes can see that.

Why they are so different?

There are historical reasons and philosophical reasons.

Historically, China has been suffering from being oppressed for a long time.   And the United States is invading all the time.

The United States is money oriented.  China is not money oriented.    Chinese have an ideal.  United States is  chasing after money always.

Is the world constituted by money?

 20250309

Is the world constituted by money?



Maybe it is it is not the concern of some world leaders whether the world is composed by money or not.  It might not be the concern in the minds of them.  What is the real essence of the human being?  What is the real purpose of human being? It is not in their mind.

I'm glad Chinese leaders are not sharing the same idea about money.  To occupy more land, more money, more resources cannot solve problems.

Lots of people are like that.

They can never enjoy the sunshine, the flowers, the sea, the air and everything beautiful in this world.

And they cannot enjoy the true relationship between people.

They cannot enjoy love.

They have only lust.

And this is the true poverty in their life. They never know it.

Is there anything faster than a lightning?

 20260308

 Is there anything faster than a lightning?



It seems that the world is made of speed.   If you can't go faster, you fail and you are dead.

The following is philosophical.   It needs your own experiment to prove it. 

The lightning from the dark clouds above is so strong and powerful,  can you be faster than the strike?

Yes.

You need only to build a lightning rod.  To conduct the electricity to the ground,  and to protect your house.

There were funny arguments before.

People were against to build the lightning rod.

They fear that the lighting rod would "attract" the lightning to come.

It is only experimental to prove it.

Experiments can help people out of the fear.

The design of lightning rod is not to "invite" the strike.

But if fools are more than smart people,   they can overturn all judgments.

What if someone is aiming at you with a gun?

 20260307  B


What if someone is aiming at you with a gun?



They were aiming at you yesterday and today.

What will happen tomorrow?

This is the politics now.

Nothing was like that in history.

It took many years to prepare and many years to fight a war before.  Now,  it happens and finishes in days or hours,  if not minutes.

It is totally different.

What if your leaves are gone one by one?

 20260307

What if your leaves are gone one by one?




They were not falling naturally.   They were picked deliberately.   They were gone one by one.

Maybe the tree is right.   He is just neglecting the lost.

The leaves can't do anything,  though the leaves still love the tree.

What will happen?

..

It is another tactic of the modern warfare.

They don't need to point a gun at you and they don't need to use bullets.

It is a soft war.

What makes a fast gunner?

 20260306

What makes a fast gunner?




In the older Western cowboy movies in the States,  you saw many times like this:

The cowboy saw something and he pulled his gun and shoot without a second of hesitation.

I saw it in the Macao cinemas in the fifties many times.   Because I had an uncle working in the cinema,   he would always letting me in without buying a ticket......it is old memory but I have the  finding only now.

How can the cowboy be so fast?

He pulls his gun,  he needs not hesitation and he shoots.

It is just like Donald Trump.

How can he be so fast acting?

When you are still calculating and you are dead.

It is determined by the speed of the brain function.

Your brains are working differently in different parts in different speeds.

You need a few minutes to figure out what is happening.   And you need a few seconds again to figure out what can be done. And you found it is a fire. And you think in your deep mind  where is the smoke coming from?  You need to calculate again in your brain.   It is not because you are a slow gunner,   it is always because, your brains are working in different speeds.   And finally, you have the decision to run or to jump.  The decisions are coming from a complete calculation.   When everything is completed,  you are dead.

If you find you are always waiting,   please think for a few seconds more.    Is it because of my brains which are working differently?

There is another important function to determine the speed.

Its the urge.

If he sees a woman and he would soon decided to  rape it.......he must be a fast gunner.

The urge determines the speed.

The woman you have seen stimulates the fire from your mind and you "go for it"......it is American slang.

If you are waiting for a second chance:

You'll be a "loser"........Its another American slang.

蘇州過後冇艇搭........its Chinese,  in Cantonese slang.

Festival and Bullshit

 20260305

Festival and bullshit



元宵佳節  


好月色在那方

霧鎖香江

似乎看見了白光

躲在雲的裙子背後 



Lantern Festival


Good moonlight over yonder

Fog envelopes fragrant harbour

Seems to see a sliver of light

Hiding behind the clouds’ skirt


.....


廢話  


廢話連篇全是我

筷子戀上香麵醬

天下太平誰之過

戰火燒出新妄想

人間何世多災難

白雲深處有夢鄉

無非都是湯翻滾

柴房煙火煮文章


The bullshit


It is all mine the bullshit

Chopsticks surrender to the worse

Whose fault is the world peace

Who burns the cloud with a new thought

What a nightmare in our time

Hug your dream in a smoke

Oh,  the soup is boiling

Wood flames in the store room smelling

Which one is more important?

 20260304  B

Which one is more important?





Which one is more important?  Politics or Literature?

Some people will think politics is more important.  Because politics can determine the fate of literature.   Literature people can only survive with the permission of politicians.   However, literature is the controller of mind (Some people still believe it.)    They thought its better to work for the mind,  more than to work for the guns.

But this kind of arguments are meaningless.  Politics and literature are only two different places for you to go into.    If you are in the right place and if you are lucky you can survive,  no matter you are in politics or literature.


At the beginning, I do not believe the word  "luck".   Do you need to have some luck to survive?   Some people believe that if you work hard you can survive.   And it is partly true. 

What is luck?  What is your chance? 

Some said it is fate.

But it may not be the fate of an individual.  It may be the fate of your country. 

For example, Iran.

Can you say Iran is determined by her own fate?

Do you think they have a chance to survive?

Sometimes it needs not to think like this.

Anyone will fight for his own fate.

And it is important for his friend too.

If his friends are not offering hands to help....... They will have the same fate later.

Because fate is not alone.  

Fate is related.

Is it possible to rule the whole planet by one country?

 20260304

Is it possible to rule the whole planet by one country?



You can use another word for "rule".   For example, you can say:   Is it possible to "run" the whole planet by one country?

And this is not the question of possibility.   Anything is possible if the power is enough for them to do it.   And people are sure to do it.   People are eager to rule the whole planet with their own method.

This is the question of a trend.

The trend is going into a single controlling command center for all.

Will it be other trend, like "diversification"?

What is needed for your diversification?

What is the pre-condition for the diversification?

The first thing is not money..

The first thing is not ammunition or weapons.

The first thing is a determination in your own mind.

If you are determined to have this planet growing like a huge garden for all and not like a single controlling power to determine everything,  you need only one thing.

You need to have a very strong mind to do it.

You need to defend yourself not being swallowed.

and.......

What is a "pin-pointed" war?

 20260303

What is a "pin-pointed" war?



If you are pinpointed, that means you are selected.  And that means you are in the death list.

Important is:  if you cannot revenge,  if the killer cannot be caught,  then you are lost.  And your country is defeated because of the pinpoint.

To kill one person and defeat the whole nation?

What is the meaning inside?

The meaning is:   

It is cheap.  Cheap means easy.

Is it so easy to devour the planet?

However, the conspiracy can happen only in some weaker countries which do not have a strong cultural bonding for their people.... Some countries do have several languages, which is a dividing force for them.

Hiding is not easy.

The safest place,  theoretically, is to hide yourself in the people.

Where else?

No where else.

The only safety is in your people.

The world is changed..

It is a nude world.

There is nowhere to hide.

You can only hide into the hearts of your people.

And you must answer yourself:

Am I loved by my people?

You will have all the answers following this one question.

筆桿爛成渣

戰火燒鐵牙

風流隨水去

大炮一聲響

黃金萬萬両

可憐林中鳥

Pens are worthless dregs

War flames on iron teeth

Gentle minds drift

Souls are but grains of sand


Cannon's thunder boom and boom

Golds coming million 

Poor birds in the wood

Anguish cry the same

The sharp edge of my pen

我的筆

筆鋒藏在口袋裡

適當時候揮出來

有緣但見墨色新

無暇只憑空陶醉




AI translated


My pen

Concealed within the pocket, the writing brush is kept,

Until the moment's ripe, for which it has adeptly slept.

If fate allows, you'll see the ink as freshly black as new,

Without such grace, intoxicated in vain, the mind will pursue.

Why ask questions?

 20260301

Why ask questions?



Because questions can keep one floating.

One will never sunk with questions in mind but not in mouth.   Questions will keep you survive.

Why not put questions in the mouth?

Because people will come,  to easy your burden of thinking.  

They will offer to think for you.

You don't need to think by asking in the mouth.

.......

And of course, this is philosophical.

In daily life you need to ask questions always.

But deep in your mind, you keep the questions to yourself.

No one can replace your mind,  even AI.

If you dont think, you will not survive.

How to deal with the unlimited with a limited?

 20260228

How to deal with the unlimited with a limited?



The infinite universe is unlimited.   And we humans are limited.

This is the very basic human condition.

If you look around,  everything is a limited survival.

And it is not a simple arithmetic problem.

You cannot add up all the units into a grant unlimited existence.

Is the grand universe a concern of a fish inside a pond?   The fish will not know the atmosphere, will not know the weather. He knows only whether he can eat or mate to survive.    And a survival urge is given to him long bofore he was born.

Is it a sin now that he wishes to know more about the arrangements?

Maybe it is not a sin.

Maybe it is another choice for him.

If you are a gardener to grow a flower,  you will have a plan for the flower for its use.

There must be a plan from the Creator for us humans.

But you will not know the relation between the Creator and the Universe.

Are the so called "Creator " a thinking process of humans?   They need a point to step on to see the relations of everything.

The "Creator" might be only a step in the chess game in a plain horizontal paper.

If humans can think on only a horizontal surface,  they can never reach the core of the matter.


.....


Let's get back to our first question.

Can we reach the unlimited with our limited survival?

That means we must break the shells of our limited survival.

That means we must peck open the shell of the egg.

We are only little chicken inside the egg.

If we are not pecking hard enough,  the egg will never be broken.


.......


I think you have got the meaning here.




note 1

what is unlimited?


There will not be a boundary between the unlimited and the limited.

When there is no boundary, it means there is a way to connect them.

There is a way to connect your limited self into the unlimited universe.

And we have a name for this situation.

The name is "hope".

Yes,  we have a hope.


note 2

If there is no boundary,  it means there is no unlimited. 無界限就是無無限.

It is absurd.

But the absurd is a reality.

We are living in it.

We have a hope.

Although the hope is only temporary,   but it is the only thing we can have.
