What are the most difficult questions unanswered?

What are the most difficult questions unanswered?




For example, why there's a universe?

Where does this universe come from?

It was said that the universe is .coming from a tiny dot.

Well, but where does this dot come from?
And I guess some of the concepts in human civilizations is extremely strange:

For example, what is zero?

Can zero becomes something?

There is nothing before the universe,  can "0" becomes "1" ?

I always have some sense of guilt behind my questions.

I dare not asked questions because sometimes it will be blamed.

I think the term "zero" must be only a device of human calculation.

There was no zero before the universe was born.

And I thought that there might be no beginning for this universe.

The universe was always existing.  

The universe was there from the "non-beginning".

It meant it was there, it is there and it will be there.

If people found it strange, it is only that people has been equipped with a formula that there will be a beginning for everything, and it is " Unthinkable " if something happens without a reason.

It is on the  human mindset.   Humans are "accustomed" with a  thought that there must be a beginning for something.

It is not easily acceptable if you tell them there is no beginning for something.

What is "Unthinkable"?

It means it is a problem human minds cannot  process.

It is outside the processing ability of human mind.

How I was alerted by a voice?

How I was alerted by a voice?



It happened several months ago.  I was a serious music lover.   I tried to learn  playing guitar and I tried learning to sing.

The day when I was leaving my home and closed my door, I was in the corridor waiting for elevator.  Suddenly I heard a voice from the back of my head.  I cannot know whether it's from inside my head or from outside my head.   The voice said: "quit music".

I cannot know whether it's an order or something like a decision from my own self.

I put it aside for several days.

 I know it is good for me to concentrate in my work and not to put too much time in music. 

Several days later I gave away my guitar for good.

And it was several months later that I really decided to quit music.

Can you think in another thinking system?

 20260805

Can you think in another thinking system?




Can you "quit" your system to think?

You'll be super smart if you can.

Because you are using another thinking system to analyze the world.

If there is someone who can manage to use a non-human system to see the world,  he will find strange things.

For example, if you go to see a doctor,  you can tell  him your feeling.   And he will measure your data. He will make a judgement for you, and according to that judgement,  he will punch some keys in his computer system,  and you will receive drugs. He will not use extraterrestrial system to analyze your case.   He is using the same system like any other humans are using.

Can he avoid using human systems?

Maybe not.

He had been working hard to earn his degree to treat you.   It is all his means to survive.  He cannot quit his position.  He cannot leave the keyboard in front of him.

Humans can quit his thinking system in only one place:-   dreams.

Strange things will come up to remind him something else......if he is truely smart.

Maybe we can never leave our existence to think.

But you can always fly higher.

People will be much smarter when they are returning from the space.

But still they are not using another system to think. Though they will be much smarter with some awareness.

Lacking awareness means failure,   and the opposite means a chance.

Why I hate my electronic watch?

 20260804

Why I hate my electronic watch?  




Every time when I need to know the time,   I need to shake my hand to wake up the light on my watch,  then they would let you see the time.

I like to use my old mechanic watch.   You don't need to pay attention to the time whenever you need to see it.   And the needles are running like real.   They are true time indicators.  They are not a shadow on a stupid device.

Maybe it is good, but I hate it.

Why it is good?

Because time is important.   You need to pay a little attention to it.  You don't need to do anything in a mechanical watch.  But now you need to do something to know the time.

Maybe it is truly good.

Because you need to watch the time always.

Yesterday, I planned to use one hour to study something.

I used an an electronic watch.

Time is passing away in an absolutely alerted way.

Oh my god!  Should I pay  so much attention to the minutes and seconds?

Can I forget the time and enjoy working?

I think if I can totally forget about the time,   I will be Free. But  I know it is not allowed.

So I am not so happy as I should be.


Because I don't like to answer that question:

How many years are left for you?

What is "Meaningful Happiness"?

 20260803 

What is "Meaningful Happiness"?



Some philosophers insisted that  the aim of life is happiness.  Lots of such theoretical discussions were  quite convincing though sometimes discouraging.

"Happiness seeking" can be a wrong way of life and sometime dangerous.

And the term "happiness seeking" is doubtful and  parents are avoiding to mention it.

However, if there is no happiness ahead, the goal of life could be tasteless.

Can happiness be meaningful too?

I think the answer is yes.

The goal of life should be meaningful and it can  also be a happy voyage.

You will welcome a happy and healthy life.



*note

In a view of some Western philosophers, happiness cannot be a goal because if you seek happiness, the happiness might come but it is a feeling can never be  satisfied,  if you keep seeking it, then you'll find it is a path of sadness. 今朝酒醒何處? Where could I wake up from my drunkenness? It is a place called loneliness:   The shore of willows in the morning wind and some remains of a poor moon.

It would be different if your life is meaningful.

Why no one really thinks?

 20260803


Why no one really thinks?



It is only a few who really thinks.

Although our life is in a very short life span,  but It is functional in a long run future.  Everyone matters.   Everyone is a concern.  Everyone is a seed to the future.  It needs a brain and a mind working together to think.

It is important.

You need to know your value in the future.

Why you need to be an attacker always?

 20260802

Why you need to be an attacker always?


It is like a small chicken  inside the egg shell.   The chick needs to attack the shell.   This is a basic rule for this universe.   You will die if you are not attacking.  

And of course, this is only  philosophical.   And this is the basic attitude of life.  

When it is going too aggressively.,  it could become another story.

And it happens in international politics..

If they are not taking your land,   they need to occupy your market.

It is hard to survive without an attacking mind.

It is the reason why you need to go forward always.

Why I always wish to know when is the best time?

 20260801

Why I always wish to know when is the best time?




It is common in everyday life.   I never know when is the most suitable time.   Maybe the problem is not time.   The problem is what.

What shall I do?

It is because there will not be a perfect planning for everything.

You always need to gamble a bit.

Please note the sophisticated difference here.

To gamble a bit is not to gamble like a

 gambler.

To be human is to face the uncertainty.

If everything is certain, then you are not needed.

Why the nature need the participation of human?

It is because human is not doing everything in a 100% certain way.

Humans are not predictable.

If there is a god,  god will not like to have a predictable staff  to work for him.

Then what are humans supposed to be doing?

All I can say is:  you are supposed to be doing within your judgement.

Once the judgment is ripe, you strike.

What is the ultimate regulation for humans?

 20260801

What is the ultimate regulation for humans?



Human behaviour are not always predictable.  Humans are not always sensible.

Not two brains are the same. 

No one knows exactly what is in the minds of his friend or foe.

The last resort is unavoidable always.

The last resort could be worse than war.

For example, a nuclear attack is the worse of all.

There will not be any ultimate regulation for humans.

But there is always a means to choose.

The so called "last resort" is war.

We must always remember that wars can happen and will happen.

The entire economic situation and social functions will be completely changed if a war breaks out.

Can a war be some kinds of  regulations for humans?

Obedience comes from a final regulation of strength, but not a reasoning power.

How to better coordinate our brains?

How to better coordinate our brains?



A left brainer cannot change himself into a right brainer in a short time,  and vice versa.

An accountant cannot change himself into a music composer in a short time.

However, it is wonderful that this is a changing world,  and we can work to improve.

It is no easy task for a left brainer to have a complete scenario of the situation by his right brain.

However, he can try and he can learn:  if  he is sincerely motivated.

But it is a problem for a culture more than  individual.

The Indians have tried hard to improve their calculations.

It was said that their multiplying table is in double digit.  Students need to memorize the quick results of a double digit multiplying number.  They can tell you immediately the result,  for example,  87 x 63 = ?

It is a cultural matter more than an individual effort.

It is lucky that the Chinese have not abandoned their writing method:   If they choose spelling more than writing,  it meant they will kill themselves.

However, it is dangerous.   The Chinese almost forget how to write with a pen.   The influence of the computer and the mobile is huge.   When you can use a voice to write,  few is willing to use his hand to write.

The result will be shown in a few more decades.

It is giving up the coordination of the brains:  If the hands are useless.
