Where are the certainties among the uncertainties?

Where are the certainties among the uncertainties?

I was like swimming in a sea of uncertainties these few days.

I don't know what will happen.

I believe this is the weakness in me.

And now I believe I am better.

Because as soon as I try to write down this feeling,  a certain kind of thought appears.   It told me one thing:

Certainty is yourself.  It is in your hand.

But uncertainty  is the reality you are going to face.

What shall I do?

Now I'm sure I know what shall I do.   I know I will be doing something according to my will.   It is and it will only be a total determination from my experience and from my judgment.  And I believe,  If you know what you are going to do,  you will be strong.

How can you know what you are going to do if you do not know the things which will be coming to you?

Yes,  I know it but my enemies might not know it.

What do you call this?

Can you say it is your fate?

No.  

It is only a certainty about your will.

Where will the diplomats meet?

 20260505

Where will the diplomats meet?

If they are not embracing, they must be wrestling.

If they are not aiming at a mutual benefits (not friendship),  they must be aiming at mutual suffocation.

It is a doubt whether they are human or not.

In the long river of evolution,  we are still in a time of fighting.    The time of  friendshp is still not  In the agenda of history.   It is an ideal ahead.

However:

Some people are working hard for it.

Some people are working hard for a long term peace.

It needs lots of effort.

But the point is:  

Can you make peace with a wolf?

Either the wolf can change into human;

or the human can keep the wolf in a cage.

What is vital?

 20260504

What is vital?

Vital is something you cannot do without.

A postive mind will consider more for the aim  but not forgetting the vital.

Vital is your livelihood.

Something is more important than your livelihood.

Something is more important than economy.

It is common for modern people to consider economy extremely vital.

But it is extremely dangerous also.  

Economy is the tree.

But more important is the soil.

What is soil?

It is your civilization and your language.

Language is only a tool.

But the wrong tool can harm your brain.

Some of the very rich Hong Kong students learn only English,  and a little Simplified Chinese.

They have a different brain.

They can never have the  benefit of a right brain language.

They will not know what is vital.

Because they are not in the soil.

note:

The writer will be going to Indonesia from today for three weeks.

How to read politics like minds?

 20260503

How to read politics like minds?

(Cant skip)

Actually, they are the same. If you can read the mind,  you can read the politics behind.   Or if you can read the politics,  than you can know the minds behind.

It is the same as cooking rice.

You need everything including time to cook a pot of rice.

Can you skip anything in cooking a pot of rice?

No, you cannot.

And this is the very basic of politics.

There is no fast track.

Cannot skip anything.

Sometimes you can talk.

Talking cannot help you cook the rice faster.

You can only use the talking time to wait for the rice to be cooked.

This is not a secret.

This is only the basic.

It is harmful to skip anything.

It is only a trap if your enemy allows you to skip something.

Why do you need to explain yourself?

Why do you need to explain yourself?  

You don't need any explanation if you are right.

Every detail and every action will be clear to everyone.   You need not to explain it.

It is logical and it is beautiful.

Leo Tolstoy needs not to explain why and how he wrote "War and Peace".

But modern leaders need to explain.

You just go to war. You don't need to explain it:   If it is right.

Can you foresee the things to happen?

 20260502

Can you foresee the things to happen?

The first kind of prediction is external.   There are lots of things to calculate predictions.  And the efforts of the external strength is not to be neglected.   You invest a little money and the result will be obvious.   The point is whether you trust them or not.   Because it is an external help. You are not doing it by yourself.  You are relying on something else.

But the internal one is different.

In the long history of China,  there was only a few who can predict things to happen.

It can bring you out of a dangerous situation or sometimes it can bring you fortune.

However, you can always try.

You never know how smart you are.

One thing is certain:   Those who do not have an eager mind for fortune or any immediate desire,  can have a bigger chance to foresee things.

Now we have a strange topic here:

Can you foresee the fate of Taiwan people?

Please think it clearly and you will got it.

What is the difference between internal and external?

 20260501

What is the difference between internal and external?

I was busy cleaning the wheels of my car on the roadside.   It was a cloudy day without hot sunshine.  I bent my knee and lower my body to clean it. 

Suddenly I felt something special.  I didn't know where did this feeling come from.    It was only a thought occurred to me afterwards.   I have never thought of anything on that special moment. I just feel strange.

So I turned my head to the other side.

I saw a man pointing his mobile camera at me.

I felt uneasy and stand up,  looking at the man.

I saw the man quickly hide his mobile in his pocket.  It proofed he was intentional.

I didn't know why he need to shoot me with his mobile.

If he was shooting me with a gun,  can I have enough time to excape?

I kept thinking of the same moment again and again,  rewinding it in my mind.

I wish to know if I was too slow.   If t it was a gun, he might need one or two seconds to aim and I might have a time to excape the bullet.

....

But the point is not here.

The point is your feeling and your timing.

Some people might never had known it happened.  You give him one minute or two minutes are meaningless.  

But if you do have that feeling,  if you can foresee something special,  you might have a chance.

Where is that feeling coming from?

A general idea is like this:  you need to be alerted at all times.

If you are too alerted,  you don't need someone to kill you.   You'll be dead already.

Important is to have a feeling at the right time.

And that feeling is in-between your internal and external feelings.

Please check for the term "內外"  from my blog.  Be relaxed and enjoy it.

What will happen if the US and China are at war?

 20260430

What will happen if the US and China are at war?

The most uncertain things are time.  No one knows what will happen in the future. People are supposed to be the controller of the present time situation only.  The future is uncontrollable. 

What are you going to prepare for your future?

When are you going to prepare for the future economy and the future politics?

Both economy and politics are the result of culture.

One thing very different is that:  Western people never cares about culture.   It is never in their minds.

Chinese people are always thinking about culture development.   Culture matter is not the same in the West.

They are very careful in handling cultural things.

They are doing things the Western counterparts need not to do....

Chinese people needs to build a new culture, when the  US needs not.

If they are at war in the future,  the winner will be a culturally strong country.

Why Thailand is different？

20260429

Why Thailand is different?

Because Thailand is romantic.   Because Thailand has got her only romantic love stories.  I thought it was only for the king and the queen.  Their love story is very attractive.   It is noble and it is lovable.   Now the Thai people has got a young queen. And the young queen is more beautiful and more lovely.   She has become  an icon of the country.

If you are to find a best love story in the world,  you will remember "The king and I".   It will bring you deep into the minds of the Thai people.  It is the inner essence of a romantic love. 

I don't think you can find a romantic feeling elsewhere.   It is only about beauty and love.   It is really rare in the modern world.   People love money more than love.  The world is cold.  Yet the sunshine in Thailand is hot.

I think Buddhism has played a part in their daily life.

When your concern is everything but money,  you will see the true side of life.

Whenever money is concerned,  there will be no love.

You will not die easily without money.

But you can hardly live without love.

It is very old experience about love.  There will be no love if money is involved.  There will be no friendship,  there will be no peace, there will be no future,  if the concern is truely for money.

Money stops the world from going.

Only love can keep the world going.

If political people know more about this,  their job will be easier.
