Is "honesty" the basic value of humans besides "love"? 

遠交近攻

來勢洶洶

轟炸伊郎

滿面笑容

It is very difficult to say that love is the basic value of humans.

But actually it is a hidden link between humans.

Humans will have no families if love is not included.

Humans will be living like animals if they have no love.

However, if you check with an AI,  the AI will tell you honesty is also important.   There will be no love if there is no honesty.

Shall we be honest to ourselves and then we can have love?

How can you love if you cannot trust yourself?

There will be good guys and there will be bad guys in this world. 

Both of them are needed.

That means love and hatred must be going together, just like honesty and liers can both exist.

這就是坐二望三的兇險了:

臥榻之旁，豈容安睡？

note

「臥榻之旁，豈容安睡」，可視為這句經典名言的變體。其最原始、最權威的出處是「臥榻之側，豈容他人鼾睡」，出自北宋太祖趙匡胤之口。

一、出處與原文

最早見於南宋李燾《續資治通鑑長編》，記宋太祖趙匡胤於開寶八年（公元975年），面對南唐使者徐鉉請求緩兵時的回應。

原文：

「上怒，因按劍謂鉉曰：『不須多言，江南亦有何罪，但天下一家，臥榻之側，豈容他人鼾睡乎！』鉉惶恐而退。」

二、歷史背景與上下文

當時宋朝已先後攻滅荊南、後蜀等國，對南唐形成包圍之勢。南唐後主李煜派博學的徐鉉出使宋朝，試圖以言辭說服宋太祖罷兵。

徐鉉在朝堂上極力陳述南唐無罪，言辭懇切。宋太祖按劍而怒，直接打斷徐鉉，說出這句名言。字面意思是「我的床邊，怎麼能容許別人呼呼大睡？」實際是宣告趙匡胤統一天下的決心，比喻自己的勢力範圍絕不容他人染指。

三、常見變體

後世流傳中產生多種變體，「安睡」也是其中之一：

· 「鼾睡」：最通行版本。

· 「安睡」：後世文獻亦見「臥榻之側，豈容他人安睡耶」。

· 「酣睡」：如《紅樓夢》第七十六回引作「臥榻之側，豈容他人酣睡？」

· 「旁」與「側」：清代小說《野叟曝言》用「臥榻之旁，豈容他人鼾睡」。

「臥榻之旁，豈容安睡」是這句名言的眾多變體之一，其核心思想和典故源頭，都指向宋太祖趙匡胤這句名言。

Why honest is important?

 20260920

Why honest is important?

Some people are always honest. It is not because honest can make them happy or make them rich.

For some very honest people on this planet, honest  is unconditional.

They don't need to have a reason to be honest.

I think those are the best of human beings.

To be honest can make one smarter. If someone is honest to himself,  he will reach the truth easier.  He will know what is right and what is wrong,  and he will know the road to success.   And this kind of success is real.

This is the best feature of human nature.

You have a real progress if you are honest.

Honest people are strong.

What is stupid?

 20260919

What is stupid?

Stupid is forgetting about the mind.

Anyone who do not use his mind is stupid.

For many reasons, many people are willfully hidding his real mind because of a certain kind of  interest.

Stupid is not losing the judgment about the universe or anything external. 

Lacking knowledge about the external world is not stupid.

But refusing to believe what one really sees and what one really thinks is stupid.

There has been a row about how Princess Diana had died and what King Charles had said in the news recently.

Anyone who is trying to hide the reality from himself is stupid.

What is the timing of a coming US-China conflict?

20260918

What is the timing of a coming US-China conflict?

It depends.

It depends on how fast could the Chinese culture go.

If people can learn Chinese like any other spelling language.......the correct way to say is:   if people can "use" Chinese without learning it,  then the world will be in a huge conflict at once.

And its possible.

When language can no more be a barrier between counry folks, the Chinese economy will be a real threat to the US,  and all international problems would come up for a future war.

It will happen within the next 20 to 30 years.

That's why the spelling problem is so important right now.

Now the American China GDP Ratio is 30-20.

It means that the United States people are earning 30 trillions a year, but the Chinese is only 20.

There will be a 30 to 30 ratio very quickly.

No one can predict what will happen if you are not compatible to each other.

Can Chinese culture possibly spread around in the future years?

It is difficult.

Because the Chinese culture is a mind but not a hand.

Theoretically,   a mind can never separate itself from the hand.

But in fact, it is separated.

Spelling cultures are just like the hands of human.

But the Chinese culture is not spelling.

It cannot easily spread.

You need to live with the Chinese to learn Chinese.

You cannot learn Chinese like English which is easily reachable by a dictionary.

That would deter the future conflict for a few years.

And no more.

How does the digitals differ from the analogue?

 20260916

How does the digital differ from the analogue?

Do you like to use a digital watch or an analog watch?

Would it be a 50% to 50% ratio of the two types of people around the world?(It needs a study.)

Would it be a mind distinguisher to distinguish people from the other side?

And if you compare the Japanese to the Filipinos, or the English to the Italians,   or Germans to the French......can you see that they are somewhat different from each other?

And human minds are complicated..... It is no way to separate people from different types.  If it is so easy to classify people into a certain type......the whole world will not be happy and people will gone crazy  because no one will believe in classifications.

Please take care. 

If you have found you yourself are digital,  you prefer numbers rather than pictures,  you might very well be an left brainer.  You could be living in the left side of the universal atmosphere.  You can calculate and you can count. You are rich and you might be money oriented.  But You might be lacking  some other mind abilities.   Your feeling is weak.  The external scenario will not be in your care some times.

The other trend is the analog right brainer.   People would say they are crazy.   Actually, they simply don't care.  They will not care about minor details.  Trivials  will not bother them.   They are forgetful and they are absent minded.   They will be losing money all the time,  as their purse is not tightened.  Girls like them,  they think they are artistic  but they will never be serious about them.   They all know that a right brainer  will fail sooner or later.  But they are full of confidence,  they believe they are the successful type.  They believe they will be a billionaire sooner or later,  if girls do not like them,  they will  say:  let it be......

However,  the world is changing and people will change.

Some left brainer will become a miser later.   And some right brainer could become a gambler. (its "some" only.)

And sometimes war games will happen in this scenario.

One last question:  How do you compare the American with the Chinese?

How different are they from each other? Philosophical, historical and psychologically ?

It is a topic to big to answer.....but it is better to make it clear earlier. It will be a long regret if it is not known.

Can human lives become digital one day?

20260916

Can human lives become digital one day?

It could only happen in science fictions, but actually it is a warning for human.

You know we have analog watches and digital watches.   But the meaning is far beyond that.

It is only because the sciene of medicine or  mathematical abilities is not able to turn everything analog into digital now.

It could be unthinkable terrible if they can.

It means life can be not a real person, but a digital file.

It is science fiction, but it is stimulating.

Do you like digital watch or an analog watch?

Do you want to know the time in moving real needles or in numbers?

To a very far extent:  do you like to have your own life digital?

You can be eternal if your life is digital,  and be filed into a library....

It's not funny because it is the way people think.

You can start thinking my life means my salary and my salary means 30000........

And soon you will become digital.

And soon you'll find life is meaningless.

Because in that case life would become numbers.

We must always remember we are not digital we are analog.

We are real people with fresh and blood and heartbeats.

Then you will go a correct path of life.

And it is good.

May the heavens bless you.

note 

The following is a simple search about analog and digital.

Skip it if it is too simple.....

 Analog (British spelling: analogue) describes something that uses continuously changing physical quantities rather than discrete numbers or binary code.

In simple terms:

· Analog = continuous

· Digital = discrete / on-off / 0s and 1s

Examples of analog things:

· An analog clock — hands move around a dial.

· A vinyl record — grooves store a continuous sound wave.

· A mercury thermometer — the liquid rises smoothly with temperature.

· An analog radio — receives continuously varying radio waves.

· An analog synthesizer — uses changing voltages to create sound.

In electronics:

· An analog signal can take any value in a range, like 0–5 volts.

· A digital signal only takes specific values, usually 0 or 1 (low or high).

So when people say “analog vs. digital,” they mean continuous real-world signals versus discrete computer-readable signals.

The direct translation of analog is 模拟 (mónǐ) in Mainland China, 類比 in Taiwan, and 模擬 in Hong Kong. But for everyday objects, Chinese often uses more natural descriptive terms instead of the word “analog.”

Analog clock

· 模拟时钟 — technical/direct translation

· 指针式时钟 / 指针钟 — most natural everyday term (“hand-style clock”)

· 传统时钟 — traditional clock

· 挂钟 — wall clock

· 座钟 — desk/mantel clock

· 闹钟 — alarm clock

· 机械钟 — mechanical clock (if it’s mechanical)

· 石英钟 — quartz clock (often analog)

Analog watch

· 指针式手表

· 传统手表

· 机械表 — mechanical watch

· 石英表 — quartz watch (often analog)

Other “analog” objects in Chinese

· Analog camera → 胶片相机 / 胶卷相机 (not usually “模拟相机”)

· Vinyl record → 黑胶唱片

· Analog thermometer → 水银温度计 / 指针式温度计

· Analog scale → 机械秤 / 指针式体重秤

· Analog multimeter → 指针式万用表

· Analog TV → 模拟电视

· Analog radio → 模拟收音机 (technical) / 传统收音机

· Analog synthesizer → 模拟合成器

· Analog signal → 模拟信号

· Analog circuit → 模拟电路

So: “模拟” is used mostly in technical contexts. For everyday objects, Chinese tends to say 指针式, 机械, 胶片, 黑胶, 水银, etc. For an analog clock, the most natural term is usually 指针式时钟 or 指针钟.

What if we are the only one?

 20260915

What if we are the only one?

It is meaningless to know that whether we are the only one or not the only one.

Anyone should be living the same if he has got brothers,  sisters or nothing.

What if you are not double but single?

You need to do the same thing as you are.

You need to be strong and very strong to live on.

You need to be prepared for any difficulties or hardships ahead of you.

Maybe this is the best advice from someone who's been lonely since his childhood.

Yes, you need to stand up on your own feet.

Someone else will not be so lucky if he was covered by an affluent family........

But this might be a common misunderstanding about life.

Will our life be stronger without support?

Can you reach the same mindset even though you are well supported?

Can you fight as hard as you can be?

Will you be as strong as you were poor?

Can you not give up your vigilance?

Yes, it is difficult but.....

you can.

Why the writing patterns cannot be changed?

 20260914

Why the writing patterns cannot be changed?

The simplified Chinese is detrimental if not harmful for the Chinese culture.

With a simplified Chinese writing and publishing method,  the Chinese mind cannot be united.

It seems my voice is not heard.

When the Chinese was simplified many years ago by Chairman Mao,  it seems to be so easy and fast.

Is it difficult turning back?

I don't know the final united date for the Chinese politics.

But the writing pattern is a must to reform.

It is the best way to capture the mind.

Because to capture the mind is to capture everything.

The problem in the Taiwan Strait is suddenly openned.

It needs not a whole army to do the things.

It needs  only a change of mind.

Now there are two ways to do the same thing.

One is to share wealth among  Taiwanese people.

Everyone is happy if you are to give them some.

Two is to share the same culture:   Starting from the traditional Chinese writing.

The problem of the Strait is an easy one.

The cost of a war might be more than 1 trillion.....if it does not last long.

You don't need a war and you don't need to kill  if you can buy it.

From a simple calculation, everyone thinks that the war will be short....... Please don't fall on the same old trap.

The war could be lasting.

What is the biggest variable in China's development?

 20260913

What is the biggest variable in China's development?

The Chinese economy is growing very fast.   But it is still in the second place in the world.   There is still a distance for China to go into the first economy in the world.

But there is a valuable that can make China to grow faster.

This variable is non comparable in the Western culture. 

This is the sole assets of the Chinese culture.

It is meaningless to list the economies into places like a first, second or 3rd.

Due to the uncertainties of the human mind,  it is a must to keep your place.

However, the secret of the Chinese culture is still unknown to the Chinese themselves.

The secret of the Chinese medicine is unknown to them.

The Chinese are only followers but not explorers in the Chinese culture.

No one knows the inner secret of the Chinese culture.

No one knows how the meridian points were found.

The ancient Chinese must have a totally different understanding about the universe and the human body.

Everybody wants a quick answer.

And the problem is not going backwards.

The problem is to search for the secret.

The secrets are everywhere.

The secrets are in the Chinese medicine and Chinese literature and Chinese way of building......

They don't need to build another Chinese palace using only Chinese methods,  but to know how the ancient Chinese people use their brain.

Were they thinking vertically like the ancient Chinese prints?

You will have a different brain if you can think vertically........but I doubt how many young talents are willing to try it.

What is the biggest variable in China's development?

Vertical.......might not be the answer,  but still,  anyone can try it.

Can you make your computer screen or your mobile faces vertical?

If not,  please buy a note pad and write vertically every day.

If the Chinese secret is not found in the next 30 years,  you can say I did try.......and I am still trying.

Is it true that the river never returns?

 20260912

Is it true that the river never returns?

People in Hong Kong has never got a feeling like that.  It is because they are facing the sea, not a river. When you are looking at the sea every day and every moment,  you will not have a feeling that something is gone.

Yes, they are always here.

No one is gone completely.

The spirits are here.

Their deeds are done.

They have laid their stones as human effort.

What are we?

We are efforts.

We are the strength.

Yes, I know that it sounds unreal.

It sounds like a comfort in vain.

But it is true.

It is the meaning of your strength.

Can money buy hearts?

 20260911

Can money buy hearts?

This is an old issue.

There will not be any answer correct, unless a total investigation is held around the globe.

You will get different answers from different countries and different time.

There might not be an universal truth for it.

But still it is interesting if we dig deeper into this issue.

It was the theme for many novels and movies.

And there will not be any direct answer.  People will not know what is really in their own mind unless the last moment comes.

People will say that they are not for money, but their final choice will show their inner sub- consciousness.

Will the so called idealism still valid?

When money is not the only standard for the choice,  then humans will be upgraded.

Let us work harder to upgrade the human race.

What's the meaning of 5000 US dollars for each American adult?

20260910 

What's the meaning of 5000 US dollars for each American adult?

It is the sum of US 1.335 trillions roughly.   The United States President Donald Trump proposed to deliver it to each American adults.

It is about 4.3% in US GDP(2025)

And it is around 6.8% in China GDP(2025)

If the money is shared among the Taiwanese adult population,  esch can receave a sum of 

US$ 67,970   or

NT$ 2.14 milliom

I don't know the cost of a strait war, if it so happens......

but each one will be happy if the money for a war is shared.

The following is a simple calculation:

Here is how US$1.335 trillion compares to the two largest economies (based on 2025 figures):

🇺🇸 Compared to U.S. GDP

· U.S. GDP: Approximately US$30.77 trillion.

· Comparison: US$1.335 trillion is about 4.3% of the U.S. GDP.

🇨🇳 Compared to China's GDP

· China's GDP: Approximately US$19.63 trillion.

· Comparison: US$1.335 trillion is about 6.8% of China's GDP.

Summary: US$1.335 trillion is a significant amount, representing roughly 4.3%of the U.S. economy and 6.8% of China's economy.

Question:

US$1.335 Trillion, if divided equally among every person in Taiwan, how much would each person get?

Calculated based on US$1.335 trillion:

· Taiwan's population is about 23.4 million (23,400,000 people)

Each person would get:

1,335,000,000,000 ÷ 23,400,000 ≈ US$57,051

(CNN) — President Donald Trump vowed to pay every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain their House and Senate majorities in November’s midterm elections – an extraordinary offer as he tries to keep his party in power.

President Donald Trump has vowed to give around 4.3% of the US GDP to his people if.......

What is the meaning of a victory?

 20260910

What is the meaning of a victory?

A victory is the most difficult time for someone who really wanted to do something.

The feeling of a failure is completely different.

Because a failure can give you a lesson,  but a victory cannot.

You need to find a lesson yourself from a victory, if you still want to do something more.

A victory is relaxed but a failure is stimulating.

What is the meaning of a victory?

It means you need to think and prepare for the next war after the victory.

Therefore, be alerted.

A victory can be worse than a defeat in this sense.

Because you need to prepare for the next war after the present war...... And it is too much for most hardworking person.

Most people are hesitating before the first war, not to say the next...... And this is a sub-conscious of many people.

Only when you are being attacked,  you have no choice but to fight on,   you don't need to think and don't need to consider many other things,  it is subconsciously safe.

Most people are waiting for attackers and this is the reason.

How important is Suzhou?

 20260909  B

How important is Suzhou?

It is because:   there is no ferry after passing Suzhou.  it seems the idiom is Cantonese: 

 蘇州過後冇艇搭。

Suzhou is important.

Because it is your only chance and it is your last chance.   You will miss it if you don't take it.

It is not for the opportunist.

It is for a fighter.

There will not be a second chance for your fight.

It means you can't wait.

People found that they are always waiting.

It is dangerous to avoid fighting.

To wait is important.

But you are not waiting for nothing.

How beautiful were the Three Kingdoms?

How beautiful were the Three Kingdoms?

The thought with histories and  sceneries  were all among the minds of the Chinese people whenever  the history of the Three Kingdoms rises.

The scene of Cao Cao standing at the bow of the ship........grasping his lance crosswise and creating  verses.  (橫槊賦詩)

The beauty is in his poem writing.  He needs to use a verse to express his feeling in the war.

It could only be beautiful.

What?  Could wars be beautiful?

Yes, the beauty is in there.

Every Chinese can remember that scene because of its beauty.

But up till this moment, I have found nothing strange.

What are we going to do and what are we doing to go?

The answer could be:

We can do our best.   We can do whatever we can. We can choose a right path and walk on the brighter side of life.

For the time being and it is important......

We can help the poor and search for the truth.

Do not rob the poor and search for darkness.....

Why you need to ask questions?

Why you need to ask questions?

Because questions have a leading force to lead you somewhere.   Or maybe their force is not from the questions.  It is from yourself.

Questions can be internal, but basically it is external more.

Questions keep you alerted.

Life without questions is dull.

It would be tasteless and meaningless.

Questions can make your eyes open wide

You'll be probing everything and anything.

The question is,  what are you looking for?

Most of the time you might like to search for the beauties in your question.

Don't worry if you found ugliness.

You can enjoy your beauty and cure ugliness.

When ugliness is eliminated, what is left  is clean and beauty.

The Gardener – Poem I  by Tagore the Indian poet

Servant:

"I was walking by the road, I did not know why,

When the noon was past and bamboo branches rustled in the wind.

The outstretched shadows from the shoulders of the sun

Lay prone upon the dust.

I was walking by the road, I did not know why."

Queen:

"What is it that you seek, O traveller,

In this frail boat of mine?

The shore is far, and the night is dark,

And the water is rough and high."

Servant:

"I seek the touch of your feet, O queen,

I seek the touch of your feet.

Not for a gift, not for a boon,

But for the touch of your feet.....

Do you have one brain only?

 20260905

Do you have one brain only?

We might have more than one machine to think.   And we will not know how many machines we have.    Thinking is a complicated process.   You will  have more than one mind and one thought.

And the thoughts are not fixed and the thoughts are not eternal.  The thoughts can change.

We might have more than one brain and we might have many thoughts.

Those are not important.

Important is your final action.

Actions are the outcome of thoughts.

People will see what your thoughts were in your action,   And then they will predict your next action  according to your thoughts.

If you are frightened and if you are scared people will know it instantly.

It is important during wars.

How can you check your own thoughts to see whether it is correct or not?

It happens in politics and daily life.

Do I love her?   Should I propose to her?

Some people need not think.

But if they are aware of the complicated thinking process,  they might  have never get married.

So the motto might be:

Trust your instinct and do not over think.

Why beauties are not everywhere?

 20260904

Why beauties are not everywhere?

If you go to the exit of a subway and watch carefully each lady coming out for a whole day or even a whole week and a whole year, you will be disappointed.    

You cannot find a true beauty there.

Some other people will do the job for you.   They are movies makers and TV producers.   They are very keen to locate  beauties on this planet.

However, beauties are rare.

If you have found it, don't miss it.

What I can tell is they are rare and cannot be found everywhere but,  she is there.

Once upon a time,  there was a beauty found.  No one can breathe easily in front of her.

However she was wasted and was dead soon after.

I hope you know whom I am talking about.

There are millions of beautiful ladies around the world,  but a true one is rare.

Same is ideas.

There are millions of theories and ideas around the world.  They all wanted to push the world to go somewhere.

But a truly right direction is rare.  

A beauty needs a prince.

And princes are rare, too.

Are people who are right-brain dominant particularly impulsive?

Are people who are right-brain dominant particularly impulsive?

It might not be the case that the dominant brain can bring people impulsive feelings.

Because you need to have a mind to decide things.

And your mind is not any part of the organs from your body.

Your mind is not your finger,  is not your eyes, is not your lungs. And of course,  it is not your heart. 

I don't know the difference of mind and soul.   But I do know that they can represent your whole.

I would rather use the word "urge" more than impulsive.

Yes, we need to have an urge to do something.

It could be very bad for anyone if he doesn't have an urge to do anything.

And the question is:   Is it an urge to make a living?

It is always forgotten that "Money is a tool,  not an aim."

The world will be better if more people understand this secret.

I am sorry that I have this conclusion because I am asking not this question.

My question is:  Are right-brain dominant people  particularly impulsive?

The answer should be: Yes, we need to have an urge.   It is for everyone,  no matter you are right brain oriented or  left brain oriented,  you need to have a full insight about life, and do what you want to do.

What is the most important issue after the Sino-US war.....if there is any?

 20260902

What is the most important issue after the Sino-US war.....if there is any?

This could be the issue that determines whether the Sino-US war will happen or not.

If the issue is negligible or not important, then the  war will happen.    But if the issues happened in the future is not negligible and cannot be handled,  then no one can make up his mind to fight because of the un-manageable outcome,  then the war will wait.......until a time someone has got the faith that he can make it.

One thing it needs not to forget:

The war might not be limited in the Taiwan strait. 

People in the United States have always had the believe that all wars can happen only outside  American soil.  

And now the case might not be the same old story.

They need to consider that the fire could be burning inside the United States.

Can Qi come out from your finger?

 20260901

Can Qi come out from your finger?

It is difficult to analyze in detail.   I cannot know whether it is the power of Qi or the synchronized mind that acts.

It is a common scene in music concerts.

When the conductor raises a finger,  the whole orchestra follows.

Is the Qi a leading power or a synchronous mind that moves forward?

It needs a further study to know that whether that Qi can come out from the finger into the space and then into another place.

However, it cannot be denied that the music can reflect the spirit of the conductor.

What is spirit?

Could the "sprit" be a combination of many things, including Qi?

It is vital to know that if Qi can leave the body?

This is a question and not a conclusion.

I hope future studies can bring us more knowledges about that.

Is it Qi,  or is it mind,  or is it a  mixture of mind and Qi?

It could be magical if it is only the Qi  that matters or even pushing.......but it is very unlikely.

Qi can run within the body, but it might not be able to leave the body to push something............

What does it mean?

It meant we know very little about Qi up till ths moment.
