Is "honesty" the basic value of humans besides "love"? 

遠交近攻

來勢洶洶

轟炸伊郎

滿面笑容

It is very difficult to say that love is the basic value of humans.

But actually it is a hidden link between humans.

Humans will have no families if love is not included.

Humans will be living like animals if they have no love.

However, if you check with an AI,  the AI will tell you honesty is also important.   There will be no love if there is no honesty.

Shall we be honest to ourselves and then we can have love?

How can you love if you cannot trust yourself?

There will be good guys and there will be bad guys in this world. 

Both of them are needed.

That means love and hatred must be going together, just like honesty and liers can both exist.

這就是坐二望三的兇險了:

臥榻之旁，豈容安睡？

note

「臥榻之旁，豈容安睡」，可視為這句經典名言的變體。其最原始、最權威的出處是「臥榻之側，豈容他人鼾睡」，出自北宋太祖趙匡胤之口。

一、出處與原文

最早見於南宋李燾《續資治通鑑長編》，記宋太祖趙匡胤於開寶八年（公元975年），面對南唐使者徐鉉請求緩兵時的回應。

原文：

「上怒，因按劍謂鉉曰：『不須多言，江南亦有何罪，但天下一家，臥榻之側，豈容他人鼾睡乎！』鉉惶恐而退。」

二、歷史背景與上下文

當時宋朝已先後攻滅荊南、後蜀等國，對南唐形成包圍之勢。南唐後主李煜派博學的徐鉉出使宋朝，試圖以言辭說服宋太祖罷兵。

徐鉉在朝堂上極力陳述南唐無罪，言辭懇切。宋太祖按劍而怒，直接打斷徐鉉，說出這句名言。字面意思是「我的床邊，怎麼能容許別人呼呼大睡？」實際是宣告趙匡胤統一天下的決心，比喻自己的勢力範圍絕不容他人染指。

三、常見變體

後世流傳中產生多種變體，「安睡」也是其中之一：

· 「鼾睡」：最通行版本。

· 「安睡」：後世文獻亦見「臥榻之側，豈容他人安睡耶」。

· 「酣睡」：如《紅樓夢》第七十六回引作「臥榻之側，豈容他人酣睡？」

· 「旁」與「側」：清代小說《野叟曝言》用「臥榻之旁，豈容他人鼾睡」。

「臥榻之旁，豈容安睡」是這句名言的眾多變體之一，其核心思想和典故源頭，都指向宋太祖趙匡胤這句名言。

Why honest is important?

 20260920

Why honest is important?

Some people are always honest. It is not because honest can make them happy or make them rich.

For some very honest people on this planet, honest  is unconditional.

They don't need to have a reason to be honest.

I think those are the best of human beings.

To be honest can make one smarter. If someone is honest to himself,  he will reach the truth easier.  He will know what is right and what is wrong,  and he will know the road to success.   And this kind of success is real.

This is the best feature of human nature.

You have a real progress if you are honest.

Honest people are strong.

What is stupid?

 20260919

What is stupid?

Stupid is forgetting about the mind.

Anyone who do not use his mind is stupid.

For many reasons, many people are willfully hidding his real mind because of a certain kind of  interest.

Stupid is not losing the judgment about the universe or anything external. 

Lacking knowledge about the external world is not stupid.

But refusing to believe what one really sees and what one really thinks is stupid.

There has been a row about how Princess Diana had died and what King Charles had said in the news recently.

Anyone who is trying to hide the reality from himself is stupid.

What is the timing of a coming US-China conflict?

20260918

What is the timing of a coming US-China conflict?

It depends.

It depends on how fast could the Chinese culture go.

If people can learn Chinese like any other spelling language.......the correct way to say is:   if people can "use" Chinese without learning it,  then the world will be in a huge conflict at once.

And its possible.

When language can no more be a barrier between country folks, the Chinese economy will be a real threat to the US,  and all international problems would come up for a future war.

It will happen within the next 20 to 30 years.

That's why the spelling problem is so important right now.

Now the American China GDP Ratio is 30-20.

It means that the United States people are earning 30 trillions a year, but the Chinese is only 20.

There will be a 30 to 30 ratio very quickly.

No one can predict what will happen if you are not compatible to each other.

Can Chinese culture possibly spread around in the future years?

It is difficult.

Because the Chinese culture is a mind but not a hand.

Theoretically,   a mind can never separate itself from the hand.

But in fact, it is separated.

Spelling cultures are just like the hands of human.

But the Chinese culture is not spelling.

It cannot easily spread.

You need to live with the Chinese to learn Chinese.

You cannot learn Chinese like English which is easily reachable by a dictionary.

That would deter the future conflict for a few years.

And no more.

How does the digitals differ from the analogue?

 20260916

How does the digital differ from the analogue?

Do you like to use a digital watch or an analog watch?

Would it be a 50% to 50% ratio of the two types of people around the world?(It needs a study.)

Would it be a mind distinguisher to distinguish people from the other side?

And if you compare the Japanese to the Filipinos, or the English to the Italians,   or Germans to the French......can you see that they are somewhat different from each other?

And human minds are complicated..... It is no way to separate people from different types.  If it is so easy to classify people into a certain type......the whole world will not be happy and people will gone crazy  because no one will believe in classifications.

Please take care. 

If you have found you yourself are digital,  you prefer numbers rather than pictures,  you might very well be an left brainer.  You could be living in the left side of the universal atmosphere.  You can calculate and you can count. You are rich and you might be money oriented.  But You might be lacking  some other mind abilities.   Your feeling is weak.  The external scenario will not be in your care some times.

The other trend is the analog right brainer.   People would say they are crazy.   Actually, they simply don't care.  They will not care about minor details.  Trivials  will not bother them.   They are forgetful and they are absent minded.   They will be losing money all the time,  as their purse is not tightened.  Girls like them,  they think they are artistic  but they will never be serious about them.   They all know that a right brainer  will fail sooner or later.  But they are full of confidence,  they believe they are the successful type.  They believe they will be a billionaire sooner or later,  if girls do not like them,  they will  say:  let it be......

However,  the world is changing and people will change.

Some left brainer will become a miser later.   And some right brainer could become a gambler. (its "some" only.)

And sometimes war games will happen in this scenario.

One last question:  How do you compare the American with the Chinese?

How different are they from each other? Philosophical, historical and psychologically ?

It is a topic to big to answer.....but it is better to make it clear earlier. It will be a long regret if it is not known.

Can human lives become digital one day?

20260916

Can human lives become digital one day?

It could only happen in science fictions, but actually it is a warning for human.

You know we have analog watches and digital watches.   But the meaning is far beyond that.

It is only because the sciene of medicine or  mathematical abilities is not able to turn everything analog into digital now.

It could be unthinkable terrible if they can.

It means life can be not a real person, but a digital file.

It is science fiction, but it is stimulating.

Do you like digital watch or an analog watch?

Do you want to know the time in moving real needles or in numbers?

To a very far extent:  do you like to have your own life digital?

You can be eternal if your life is digital,  and be filed into a library....

It's not funny because it is the way people think.

You can start thinking my life means my salary and my salary means 30000........

And soon you will become digital.

And soon you'll find life is meaningless.

Because in that case life would become numbers.

We must always remember we are not digital we are analog.

We are real people with fresh and blood and heartbeats.

Then you will go a correct path of life.

And it is good.

May the heavens bless you.

note 

The following is a simple search about analog and digital.

Skip it if it is too simple.....

 Analog (British spelling: analogue) describes something that uses continuously changing physical quantities rather than discrete numbers or binary code.

In simple terms:

· Analog = continuous

· Digital = discrete / on-off / 0s and 1s

Examples of analog things:

· An analog clock — hands move around a dial.

· A vinyl record — grooves store a continuous sound wave.

· A mercury thermometer — the liquid rises smoothly with temperature.

· An analog radio — receives continuously varying radio waves.

· An analog synthesizer — uses changing voltages to create sound.

In electronics:

· An analog signal can take any value in a range, like 0–5 volts.

· A digital signal only takes specific values, usually 0 or 1 (low or high).

So when people say “analog vs. digital,” they mean continuous real-world signals versus discrete computer-readable signals.

The direct translation of analog is 模拟 (mónǐ) in Mainland China, 類比 in Taiwan, and 模擬 in Hong Kong. But for everyday objects, Chinese often uses more natural descriptive terms instead of the word “analog.”

Analog clock

· 模拟时钟 — technical/direct translation

· 指针式时钟 / 指针钟 — most natural everyday term (“hand-style clock”)

· 传统时钟 — traditional clock

· 挂钟 — wall clock

· 座钟 — desk/mantel clock

· 闹钟 — alarm clock

· 机械钟 — mechanical clock (if it’s mechanical)

· 石英钟 — quartz clock (often analog)

Analog watch

· 指针式手表

· 传统手表

· 机械表 — mechanical watch

· 石英表 — quartz watch (often analog)

Other “analog” objects in Chinese

· Analog camera → 胶片相机 / 胶卷相机 (not usually “模拟相机”)

· Vinyl record → 黑胶唱片

· Analog thermometer → 水银温度计 / 指针式温度计

· Analog scale → 机械秤 / 指针式体重秤

· Analog multimeter → 指针式万用表

· Analog TV → 模拟电视

· Analog radio → 模拟收音机 (technical) / 传统收音机

· Analog synthesizer → 模拟合成器

· Analog signal → 模拟信号

· Analog circuit → 模拟电路

So: “模拟” is used mostly in technical contexts. For everyday objects, Chinese tends to say 指针式, 机械, 胶片, 黑胶, 水银, etc. For an analog clock, the most natural term is usually 指针式时钟 or 指针钟.

What if we are the only one?

 20260915

What if we are the only one?

It is meaningless to know that whether we are the only one or not the only one.

Anyone should be living the same if he has got brothers,  sisters or nothing.

What if you are not double but single?

You need to do the same thing as you are.

You need to be strong and very strong to live on.

You need to be prepared for any difficulties or hardships ahead of you.

Maybe this is the best advice from someone who's been lonely since his childhood.

Yes, you need to stand up on your own feet.

Someone else will not be so lucky if he was covered by an affluent family........

But this might be a common misunderstanding about life.

Will our life be stronger without support?

Can you reach the same mindset even though you are well supported?

Can you fight as hard as you can be?

Will you be as strong as you were poor?

Can you not give up your vigilance?

Yes, it is difficult but.....

you can.
