The sharp edge of my pen

20260301



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.

Why chess games are only horizontal?

 20260227

Why chess games are only horizontal?



Human affairs are never like a chess game.    It is not a game can be seen on a piece of plain paper.

It is not a "situation" inside a map room.

You can say it is the atmosphere.    Because it surrounds you from all directions.

You are not a worker but a diver.   You are not swimming on the surface but diving inside.

If you can dive deep in the hearts of the countries,   then you see the international politics like real.

And then you know what to do.


What if your spirit cannot manage your body?

 20260227

What if your spirit cannot manage your body?


It is serious and not funny.

There will be a big problem if human spirits cannot manage human bodies.

It is not only an individual problem..

It is the problem of our future.

We can create a term for this situation:

"spirit balance".

If humans cannot manage the balance between spirit and physical bodies,   there will be a big problem.

Humans are only following their physical  necessities.   Human souls cannot manage human affairs anymore.

What will happen next?

Humans will be downgraded into animals,  little by little.

It is a trend going on very slowly without notice.

When everybody is feeling comfortable,  they will not aware what will happen in the near future.

Can you foresee our new future?

What is the "true balance" of the world?

 20260226

What is the "true balance" of the world?




The world is more or less balancing in our era.

The three major powers will not engage in a 3rd world war,  and it is almost certain.   Certainty is important for businessmen.   It is not the same if you are certain that the world is peaceful, or the world is not peaceful.  Calculation of investments will be different.

But seldom do we notice that political balance is not the same as spiritual balance.

What is spiritual balance?

That means your blood will not be easily boiled.

That means your faith or your belief system will not push you to sacrifice in wars.

There was a time not the same like now.

Young people or poor people are very easily irritated to pick up arms when their blood is boiling.

However, we are in a time of cooling down.

Spiritual stimulation will not be so effective like before.

It can happen only in a few very talented people.

Some people are still willing to sacrifice all their life to search for the beauty of science or something.

But in the time of a spiritual balance, such people will become less and less.  You will see fewer and fewer talents around. 

Are we in an era of mediocrity?

No. It should not be like this.

It is only a time of spiritual balance and it is quite effective.

Fewer hot blood youths means the world will be slower,  but stable.

But a complete balance will never happen, because our blood is still hot.

Growth will only possible when it is not completely balanced.    Craziness is needed sometimes,   and it should be allowed always.

What is the fate of the Chinese language?

 20260225

What is the fate of the Chinese language?



The fate of the Chinese language might be longer than politics.

Politics is an important issue to determine the fate of a language.   But the result might be coming from the opposite side.

Politics is always a short term thing.

The Chinese politics has last for a few thousand years.   But the Chinese language might be longer.

To take the English as an example,  you can find out interesting points.

If there is no more United Kingdom in the future,  or if there is no more United States in the future,  do you think the English language will survive?

Maybe not.

Because spelling languages will change its spelling.  

No one can predict how would they change.

There might be a time without English language, but there will not be a time without Chinese language.

It is the fate of the Chinese language which determines its life span.

Because the Chinese language need not spelling.

You can reform it,  you can simplify it, but you cannot destroy it.

Until one day the language survives, and political entities will also be survived by it.

The Chinese language has the real essence of survival by itself.

If the language can survive, the country will also survive. It is called: 文存則政存.

What is the biggest problem in the Taiwan issue?

 20260223

What is the biggest problem in the Taiwan issue?


  

I thought at first that it is a determination problem.  It might be the bureaucracy that deters.

The Taiwan issue is a simple case. If the Taiwan issue is settled, China will be going onward without hindrance.

But actually it is not.

Bureaucracy is the biggest effort to weaken determination.

Bureaucracy is the group of people behind.

They are holding you back by pulling the hem of thy garment.

Language, or traditional language of the Chinese is a heavy weight power like the tide.

When the tide comes, the enemies subside.

There is no negative result in using traditional Chinese.

It is a huge force pushing in gigabytes of  electric powers.

And it benefits all.

Why it is not an option?

The only explanation is bureaucracy.

Bureaucracy can produce a final outcome of war.

They are pushing everything towards a war.
