What is the prospect of a future East‑West conflict ?  

It will be another day when the East is red and the West is dark,  or when the East is dark and the West is dawn.

Will the problem between the East and the West become a major issue?

And most important of all: can the problem be controlled?

Or the problem has its own way of growing?

Will there be a future world war between the East and the West?

Can humans settle their problem with only one means of war?

Can they try other method to settle their problem?

The problem will be shown in the issue of Taiwan in a not very long future.

If the problem can be solved peacefully and delicately,  then the East-West conflict will be postponed a few more years,  but it will not be disappeared.

What is the future of a non-solvable conflict?

Time is not on the side of the West.

It is because:  the East is on a upward trend, while the West is going downwards.

Is there any other unknown issues ahead?

note:

The East-West concept might not be proper for a future history.

The world is not divided like that.

The world is a circle and it is rolling on day by day.   The East can become West and the West can become East.

Victories are all mine

 

出師大捷身未死

沉思探索宇宙心

天人合一境何在

問書無語費沉吟

上窮碧落潛深處

老榕散葉藏好音

心中困惑未停止

抬頭看見鳥在林

Victories are all mine and I am still alive

Where is the cosmic heart

How to unite  heaven and man

The question is speechless and stumbling

Up the blue sky and deep into the sea

Old banyan leaves hide good sounds

Puzzles in my heart has not stopped

Looking up, I saw birds in the tree

What is the value of time?

What is the value of time?

This could be a serious matter but if you take it too seriously, you cannot sleep.  Time is important,  but why is it important?  It is because wasting time means wasting life.   And sometimes you need time to rest.  And sometimes you need time to prepare yourself. And sometimes you need time to have some amusement. If there is no amusement, you cannot think.

The most important issue about time is the judgment..... If you know what is important and what is not important, you will not be wasting time.

Albert Einstein never wastes time combing his hair..... but if I do the same,  and keep my hair dirty,   I will not be another Albert Einstein.

The point is to know what is important.

Has the imperialist changed?

  Has the imperialist changed?

There has been a time when illusions are popular,  people believe that world peace is easy,  and they can live happily without interference from anyone else except the nature and the weather.

And now this illusion is broken.

Bombs would come anywhere anytime suddenly   and you will have nowhere to escape.  It is worse than ever.

How can you protect yourself?

It is not easy to build a shield upon your head like an umbrella.

And a shield is not a perfect answer.

You cannot be hiding forever.

One thing is important:  All peaceful nations must be united.

There will be lots of ways to protect your country and your people.

When the fathers are all dead,  sons and daughters would know what to do.

What has changed since 1840?

 20260708

What has changed since 1840?

Everything will not be the same if there is no opium war in 1840.

What has weakened China before 1840?

Everything seems normal:  if you are weak, then enemes will come.

But the point is how can an old person be not weak?

Yes, life needs to be renewed or even reborn from time to time.

Being old is not an excuse for a culture.

And it shouldn't be an excuse for any old people.

You need to learn and you need to sharpen your knife always.

And you need to handle your wisdom into the next generation before you die.

Life is a secret and there is no explanation for it.

Anyone can know what is life according to his own understanding.

And live for it.

Chinese people will never forget the opium war.

It was the war to make them wake up.

But wars have not been stopped until now.

In the old times,  the British people needed to sail thousands of miles to get opium to sell to China.

And now, it needs only minutes in the computer and Iran was bombed completely.

And you will not know what's the worst thing next.

It needs to be alerted and be well prepared.

Things will be happening very, very fast.

You will have no time to wait.

How happy it can be to have a copy of "Illustrated Fine-Line Portrait Edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms"繪圖綉像本三國演義?

How happy it can be to have a copy of 

"Illustrated Fine-Line Portrait Edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms"繪圖綉像本三國演義?

I thought the book must be selling in a huge price if you can find one nowadays.

It was one of my treasure when I was young.

My mother was dead when I was 11, lots of other poor families started moving into our house to share the place in high rents.

Our house was crowdy and noicy suddenly.

One of the neighborhood elders gave me that book, asking me whether I like it or not.

The book was only half inch thick and really thin. May be it was only the second or third volume of the novel.

But it created a long lasting memory in my childhood.

The papers were white, pale in color,  and very filmsy.

The printed words are small, maybe half the size of a modern font.

It was until now that I can understand that it was for saving papers,  keeping the printing cost lower.

I read it again and again in great pleasure.

And I believe I will need a magnifier if I got it now.

How can such a memory be floating in my brain nowadays?

I was in Macao by then.

If I were in Taiwan, things will be no different.

The happiness will be the same.

Because the words were printed in normal Chinese characters.

It will be completely tasteless if it were printed in simplified Chinese.

It was not one or two or several images floating in your brain.

It was millions of them.

You never know how many millions of words have been flying before your eyes.

You'll never know how high the pleasure was psychologically happened and planted into the mind.

And of course, you need a perfect printing.

And it must not be in a simplified copy.

Do you rub your toes everyday?

Do you rub your toes everyday?

Albert Einstein did it everyday,   I do not know his intention in doing this.  It might be that he was trying to help the blood flow in the toes.   If the flows were improved at the bottom, then they would  go more  easily up into the head.

I did the same everyday,  it was only to heal  my problem in the toes skin only.   I "saw" between my toes like sawing woods with a wet towel. It might be useful to the brains too, I think.

Attend to the least important items can clean my brain.

Visit the poor can clear my eyes.

How can the ground people fight satellites?

How can the ground people fight satellites?

  

First question is: How can the minds fight the satellites?

The next question is: Can the left brain replace the right brain?

The above is related issues.

No matter how "not advanced" in your technology,  people in all countries need to tackle that problem.  If your location and if your identity is revealed for the satellites,  a bullet is not avoidable.   It  is up to your enemy to decide whether to shoot or not to shoot.

Almost all leaders cannot walk in broad daylight,  and tunnels cannot be an absolute proof for safety.

Motorcades are not useful anymore.

The most serious problem is for the identity of any person needs to be protected.

Once the identity is clear,  there is no proof anywhere on earth.

Actually, it is the war of technologies, plus the war of minds.

The weakest point of the western technology is at its right side.

They cannot use their minds to judge.

Almost all the computer is an imitation of the human left brain.   They can do a little feeling and sensing.  But they cannot go deep into the right brain (for the present moment).   And they cannot use logistical devices to replace the subconscious.

For some of the talented human minds,  they can sense and they can predict.  

If you can know things to happen in advance, then you could be a little safer.

Yet there is no proof of it.

Can you build an umbrella on your head?

That is the question of importance.

But more important is to wake up your mind and activate your right brain.
