Why is morality still vital?

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?

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?

 20260324 B

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.......

What is the charm of China?



The charm of China could be found in a literature piece more than one thousand years ago.

 

"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"


 20260321

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.

What if the magics are real for an evil?

 20260319

What if the magics are real for an evil?



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.

(You are the devil)
