Do you know what you do not know?

20260514

Do you know what you do not know?

The above question is meaningless.   Of course, no one will know what he doesn't know.   It is only a strange logic of things.   I do not know what I don't know. I do not have what I dont have.......

But is it really so?

Could I have something that I don't know I have?

Can I check in my treasure box and find something I did not expect it exists?

This is the bad experience of many people in need.  They search into their wallet and they search into their bank account,  hoping something unexpected can happen.

And this is the real nature of human situation.

You might find something really valuable in your unknown account.

Humans do not know many things.

Humans do not know what is waiting ahead of us humans.

I do not know, but I am expecting.

I do not know, but I am searching.

I do not know, but I am hoping.

It must be an extraordinary event to make humans here.

There must be something for us.

There must be something for us to work for.

And this is the reason for humans to be friends together.

No other reason is bigger than this reason.

Because the future is always bigger than the past.

Don't you know how small we are?

 20260513  B

Don't you know how small we are?

This kind of situation cannot be counted by any kind of  mathematical method.

You cannot calculate the size of the universe and calculate the size of your body and make a comparison.

The proportion scale  seems to be unlimited and it is meaningless.

Yet we ought to know how small we are.

This afternoon when I was eating a mouthful of chicken meat,  the thought occurred to me suddenly. 

I used to eat chicken meat like this:  I will take away the fried skin and eat only the inner content of the plain chicken meat.   It was completely tasteless.  It was only meat and protein.  Maybe the taste was only in the external fried skin. 

What does it like to eat this chicken meat?   It is not like a mouthful of flour.   It is nothing but chewing. 

You are chewing not meat but a kind of soft plastic.

It was lucky I have a glass of coke with me.   I just washed down the meat with the coke.  Just like flushing it away.

I thought I hate to eat like this.   But it is never an issue in my life.  I am not particularly keen on eating.   It is ok if I can finish it.

What does it mean? 

It seems it is life.   When life is tasteless, it would be like this.

But your life will never be tasteless like this.

You have all sorts of taste in your life.  You can put in salt and you can put in soy sauce and you can put in oil and you can put in sugar to make it colorful and wonderful.

But the inner content is a mouthful of tasteless plain meat.

When you are eating good food, you think you are a king.   When you are eating bad food, you think you are a begger.

Am I a king or a beggar?

Sure I am a beggar.

And now I can tell you how small I am.   Because I have the true feeling of a beggar.

If you cannot know how small you are, you will never know how big is the universe.

Now you have the calculation and the comparison.

And so what!

You are only a tiny dot like a dust on the ground.

You cannot be seen by anyone but yourself.

Don't you think Julius Caesar is great?

No, he is the same.

He is just as small as you and me.

Then what!

Then, if you are a little more thoughtful, you will know where you are and what you should do.

It is meaningless to do bad things.

It is meaningless to consider things in an individual level.

But it could be meaningful if I can think a little more bigger.

Yes, I am small, but I can think big.

Yes, I could have a full eyesight if I can think bigger than the small.

I am not a tiny dust anymore.

I will not do meaningless things like an idiot any more.

Yes, people steal,  people are robbing like mad,  people are doing all sorts of stupid things.

It is absolutely funny and ridiculous.

It is truly small.

I think you will not be the same if you know how to calculate the smallness of things.

If you know it, you are not small anymore.

You will have a meaning in your mind.

Why suffering seems unavoidable sometimes?

 20260513

Why suffering seems unavoidable sometimes?

 I was trying to write something, when I marked the date "May 13" on my screen.

Actually, before I tried to write anything, my mind was uneasy and disturbed.

Old tragic family sufferings kept coming back to my memory before I marked the date on my script.

My mother had an early death on that day.   I was eleven and she was fifty years old when she died.

And I was under the care of my grandmother since.

I was a bad boy by then. 

My school kicked me out when I was 13.   I did all the bad things in the eyes of the teachers by then. They didn't want me anymore and then they threw me away.

I managed to find another school thanks to the bad  economy situation when schools only need you to pay school fees.  I had a place luckily in another school.  And then I determined to make up my studies and behave myself.

It was like a nightmare gradually fading away.

But my question appeared:

Why sufferings are unavoidable for some people but not all?

Suffering was a blessing too.

If I have never suffered,   I will not have made up my mind.   Maybe I'll be the same as any other office workers working on the high-rising buildings in Hong Kong.  I will not see the scenery differently.

Sufferings are good to me.

I suffered more than ever afterwards.

It was from the oppressions of the underground secret party in China and Hong Kong.

It seems they have a power to put different people in different positions.   They have a secret network trying to control China.  They have tried to kill me many times.  If I were silenced,  maybe their secret  control will be more smooth.

All I can believe is that China will be still rising.  The rise of a modern China is a historical trend. Some people might die for it, but it cannot stop the rising movement of a culture, even with the huge opposition power from an undeground, and foreign controlled party.

The sun will be rising every day, still.

Why there are unknowns in our life?

 20260512

 Why there are unknowns in our life?

Questions are good.

Life will be tasteless if there is no question.

It needs to quest always.  

Life will be like animal without question.

When you have a question, you have an aim.

If you don't have question, you need to follow.

To be a follower is tasteless.

I don't mean you need to be a leader.

But you need to lead your own life.

Life will be more interesting with question.

People with too many questions are always unwelcome.

This is where the puzzles are.

Sometimes you can keep the questions in your mind, but not as a challenge to others. 

If you want to ask question,  ask yourself first.

External help is not very helpful always.

There are lots of answering machines in this world.

Do not rely on them.

Rely on yourself.

Rely on your own intelligence.

Keep your own Intelligence as your most precious wealth.

Nothing belongs to you except your own intelligence.

Keep it and use it.

Do not ask what do you want?

Ask what can I help you?

Ask what can I do my best for you?

You can win a friend this way.

You will know the situation faster.

What is the secret of beauty?

 20260511

What is the secret of beauty?

Maybe there is another term for the secret of beauty.   Maybe it is not  beauty at all.   It is another thing confused with beauty.   Humans have not invented a name for it.

So we can use the word "beauty" temporary only.

In the story of Xi Shi,  we might have a glimpse of it.

The story is famous in Chinese culture.

It was a struggle to the extreme.  King Goujian was in an extremely state of mind that he was willing to taste  the poop or excrement of King Fuchai to gain his trust.  And he sent Xi Shi  to please King Fuchai.

No one can do such things in other history.  It happened only in China.  And then it came the believe that Xi Shi was the most beautiful woman.

What is the sense of beauty? 

It must be the result of a serious hardship and an non-human determination.

When you have found beauty,  you are in heaven:  it is not necesary sad things of dying,  but it is extremely rare.  

It is not for everyone.

Beauty is not for everyone.

· 西施：Xi Shi (或 Xi-shi)

· 句踐：King Goujian of Yue (或 Goujian)

· 吳王夫差：King Fuchai of Wu (或 Fuchai)

What is beauty?

 20260510

What is beauty?

Beauty is not necessary a woman.   Beauty is a very special experience.   if you have found it,  you will have a feeling in heaven.   And it is not for everybody,   it is only for a privileged few.   Most  people never know what is beauty in their whole life.   I've seen only one of my elder who had found it in her death bed.

Beauty is a special feeling that you can find it when you are granted.   Most people mixed up the feeling of happiness and beauty.  Happiness is external.  When you eat something and when you saw something, you feel happy.   But the feeling of beauty is the feeling when you found you were actually in heaven.  Wow, you are not dead but you felt that feeling in heaven.

In my whole life I have it only once.   That was a time when I was in a very common  sports field, although the scenery is good.   I was listening to a piece of music of Bach.   And I found I was actually in heaven.   I tried to listen to the same piece of music again and again.   But it never came again.  It was only once in a lifetime.  And I felt deeply thankful for that.  And I felt thankful for my enemies,   if they were not striking me so hard.  I might never have come to the same feeling.   The peaceful feeling after a war is beauty.   It might be more, but I cannot say that. 

Next time, if you have found beauty,  your feeling might be the same.

How to break dead-locks in the world?

 How to break dead-locks in the world?

The world is not a deadlock.   The world is an open garden.   But there are many deadlocks in it.

It needs effort.  Because there might be a time, all the world will be locked up.

If everyone is running for money, but not any other goal,  then the world will be locked up.

If we change to an optimistic point of view,  then the world is more than a garden,  the world is constituted in a huge mind.  The world is a huge mind.

The mind is an ocean.

No one can lock up the ocean.

We are all fish in the ocean.

Fishes come and go.   Yet the ocean remains alive.  Therefore we have hope in the ocean more than fish.

The problem is how can we break the deadlock?

Because the deadlock is not a knowledge.  You cannot tell people that you are in a deadlock.

You can only perform for them.

You can sing.  You can say.  You can dance.

But the most important of all is that you can build.

You can build a better garden to show him.

Yes, please come to see our garden.

It is a garden of living mind.  It is a garden of living choices.  It is a garden of future. There will be no deadlocks in the future.

Then the locks might be cracked open.

What is a psychological deadlock?

 20260508

What is a psychological deadlock?

A psychological dead-lock is the link between two concepts.

For example, here we have two concepts:  One is me, the other is a cat.

If someone keep saying "I am a cat" for a long time,   then a psychological mind-lock will be created.  The guy will believe he is a cat.

The same is a modern trend.

If people say in their mind:  " I am for money ".

Then his goal is only for money, but not anything else.

He will not see the things behind money.

He will do anything for money.   He will be a gambler,  he will be a cheater,  he will do anything against human nature.

It is very common in the modern world.

He will not see the beauty of anything,   he will not search the mystery of science.  He will not have interest in anything.

He will not be happy unless he finds money.

He is boring but he will not know it himself.  And of course he will not love.

And this kind of dead-lock in the mind is not easy to break.

He will keep building a wall for himself until one day he is imprisoned inside.

But this is not a problem for a single individual.

This is the problem for the society.

This is a problem for a country.

This is the problem for a culture.

This is a crisis for human nature.

That is why we have wars.

Problem:

How to break this dead lock?

How to break this dead lock in the mind and the world?

This is a hidden secret.

Funny:

If the ideal of a country is not " Democracy, freedom, equality ",  but replaced by:  " Money, money, money "..........

What will happen next?

How to fight with them without paying money?

Will it be too dangerous if the real ambition can not  be satisfied?

Remedy?

It is possible, and workable.

What is the deadlock of modern world? F

 20260507     F

What is the deadlock of  modern world?   

All the wars in the modern world is coming from this deadlock.   This deadlock is like a heavy bonding,   It locks up the mind in a deadly formular. And the brains are like working in a formula of railway.  Thoughts can only be fitted into the  railway like a train.

How can a dead lock lock up a human mind?

Yes, it is a simple formula:   "My purpose of life is money."

It is like a strange electronic device that can lock-up a mind.

The device is very simple, but absolutely strong. All thoughts can put into this deadlock formula:  That the only purpose of life is money.

It is simple yet unescapable.

What is "unescapable"?

When the only aim of life is for money, than the person with this aim is  unexcapable.   He could only go one way,   He will not have love,  He will not have passion,  He cannot enjoy beautiful things.  His life is simple with one purpose only.   He is only working for money.

And that is the reason of all problems and modern wars.

The only reason of war is money.  When people are looking for more and more,  the outcome is war.

Why the United States wants to take Iran?   Why they want to take the South American country Venezuela?

The sole purpose is for money.

Money is not a sin.  But the mind-lock is a lock.

When the minds cannot function properly, they can only go for one way.  

It is the deadlock of a modern world.
