What is the "true balance" of the world?

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?

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.

It was the Qin dynasty's imperial mandate:

To write the same language

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.

What is "the beautiful"?

 20250222

What is "the beautiful"?

Of all the three concepts: the true, the good, and the beautiful;   it seems the beautiful is the most important.

Because it is the ultimate judgment from the inner heart.

You know whether it is truly true and whether it is truly good,  when your choice is the beautiful and not the ugly.

I thought it is from the inner feeling of every mind.

And I don't know whether it is a gift from the heavens to the human.

And I don't know whether everyone has got this gift.

But if you do have this gift,  I thought it is a blessing.

You don't need to study a lot.

You don't need to be a  respected scholar.

It is an inner safety barrier for you to go for a safety place: if you know what is beautiful.

You'll have the drive.

It was a motivation from the moment you were born.

You'll be chasing after or looking forward to the beautiful naturally.

Different nations will be going for a different direction for the goal,  when they have the same idea of the beautiful in their mind.

They will reach that goal.

They will refuse ugliness like refusing devil.

There is a dark will to bring in ugliness  into this world and it is also natural.   It is also a motivation to stimulate human beings going towards the bad side.

Color is always a choice for human beings. Color is from sunshine.  Darkness is for the dark side only.

What is the secret of health?

 20260221

What is the secret of health?

Not everyone needs an aim in life.  They are living very well.  And they don't need a meaning in life. And for many people, the only meaning is money. So the secret of health may not be the aim of life.  There are many medical guidelines for a healthy way of living.  And I dare not to argue with them.  They must be right.

But if you do have an aim in life, I believe it is helpful for your health.

However, the aim should be single and solid.   Some people got their aims from their parents.  But the aims are divided always,  your father tells you one thing and your mother tells you another.

People with a split aim in life are not healthy.

So the Chinese always believe in the term "One heart, one mind".  (一心一意)

When you are single minded and strike forward, you'll be successful and healthy.

And the opposite is "Three hearts, two minds" (三心兩意).   The result is obvious.

The secret of life is in the aim of your life.

Many of the Chinese people in Hong Kong say blessings to each other in the new year.

Most people only have a wish of healthy life, rich life, wealthy life;   But they never mention the aims of life.

The culture will be changed one day and China will be really strong.

The Queen and I

 20260220

The Queen and I

The story happened in a remote kingdom. I dare not tell you the name of the kingdom.  It was not real and it was so unreal that if I tell the fact it would be embarrassing,  not to me but to the King.

I thought she was the most beautiful lady i've seen for my whole life.   I have never saw a lady so pretty and so appealing.  May be that was because she was selected from millions of beautiful girls by the King.  No one can have such time and effort to search a million pretty girls and found  one.   It was only a king could do that.

The story is about how a reporter like me to help the Queen to leave her King.

It was complicated and long story and it needs a  complete novel to finish it.   It was not only the story itself important,  but the scenes are so beautiful that you can never forget about them.

Yes, a beautiful scene is just like a fresh flower. You will be dominated by the beauty if you are the right one.   If a film writer wishes to reproduce the beauty,  he needs money.  For a few seconds of beauty which can burn into your memory for your whole life,  it takes a million.

But this is a true life experience and you just felt the beauty by your fate, not by a film.

She was jogging among a group of young people outside the Palace.   I saw her and she saw me and she smiled.

It is the kind of smile which can turn over a whole country.

I was knocked down and the light was pierced deep into my mind.   Although I could still be standing.  But I am not me anymore.......

The story could be long and very long.

You'll see how a reporter sneak into the Palace and make friend with her.

And that is not important.

Important is how can the reporter to encourage her to leave the Palace?

It was by one sentence only.

He said: "You are to serve the people not to serve the king. "

And she agreed.

The story would tell you how she manage to run away from the Palace with the reporter for a brighter sunshine.

It needs not to tell the details,  because all the rest is not important.

Important is the determination.

Yet the determination will not be coming from nothing.   It's from a sudden realization.

All other reactions are followers of the sudden and fully explored understanding of reality.

It creates a sudden flash of beauty no one have seen before.

And this is the story:  "The Queen and I".........

What if your right foot is broken?

 20260219

What if your right foot is broken?

My friend told me,  better to learn using the left foot to drive before accidents happen.

It was an episode happened long ago.   All cars need to use a right foot to press the crutch to change gear, and to press the brake to slow down or the accerlator to speed up.  If the right foot angle is hurt,  one can be stranded in a remote area.

It is a Plan-B for driving.

And it is a simple idea for everyone.

But it will not be the same in life.

Sometimes you can only have one plan.

What will you do if all roads are blocked?

And it is not a joke.  It needs to learn flying on top of driving always.

It needs to prepare a pair of wings,  and its reality.

You can get ideas from the internet always, but the internet will die also.

The question is:  what if your internet is dead?

You need to protect them.

And you need to learn flying.
