Was the US caught off guard this time?

 9361  Was the US caught off guard this time  20220329

Yes, they were. 

The US people or their culture were completely caught off guard by the Ukraine episode. 

The reaction was totally irrational in a big outburst. 

It might be the opening of a secret box of destruction weapons against Russia or China, and that was supported by a sudden realization of something.  

They were shocked and rush to the secret weapon box immediately. 

What did they realize?

And what was in their mind before the Ukraine Episode?

It is not that they had seen their sudden failure to prevent another big power other than China had stood up and it was totally unexpected. Yes, Russia will be successful and stood like a giant standing together with the US and China. 

But the point is not here. 

The point is they could never know the real reason behind it. 

And the real worry lies in the near future more than now. 

In the near future, there will not be a triangle situation anymore. The 3 Giants era will be gone. And it will be gone very soon. 

It will remain a happy time for the three for a short while now. 

Because the three giants were similar. No more and no less. 

The real reason is that they were using the same tool of the Western science which is a left-brain dominated domain and the Western science had gone to a stage needing a revolution. 

If in a short future of 20 to 50 years, when someone could handle the wisdom of a right-brain culture and found the inner essence of a different science, unexpected things would happen. 

If a new science of mathematics was found, when people can calculate without using numbers, and if a new science of Physics was found when people could see different layers of phenomenon other than the present external measures, then we can expect a sudden opening of eyes and see a completely new Universe before us and by that time, all fights and argues will be non-sense. 

If the Ukraine Episode is an unexpected event in the eyes of the American people, they would be completely shocked if the new science did find a way to show its power. 

What people have been talking now are largely strategics matter only. That meant to handle things by superficial arrangements. That meant people are trying to settle problems by their hands only. When people would blame the Russians this or that while not blaming themselves this or that, they are using hands, they did not sit down and ponder for a while to think. 

And people did not know how to sit down. 

Do you know how to pray? or to meditate? 

And I was amazed to see the President of US saying so fluently some words by the late Pope in Poland, I could see that he had not been examining the wrong doings of the Church people, as his son had been handling the pedophilia cases when he was still alive. 

And the point is not about the wrong doings but a completely wrong interpretation of the minds of Jesus. Jesus had said he would send a helper to the world to seek wisdom and if people have wisdom, they would be free.

And it is a civilization that had gone wrong, not a president. 

Can the people be free by a certain kind of political system while they were ignorant and was guided by the wrong culture?  

How ignorant we are. 

And the minor points are loving and forgiving. 

Can you love your enemy and forgive their wrong doing? 

If you cannot, you will not see the real picture of the world, not to mention the future. 

Its why people are caught off guard. 

P.S.

The Russians had not used the word ‘war’ against the Ukrainians. It could possibly be a reason that they do not regard the Ukrainians enemies, but same Russia.

 

 

怎樣進行心理戰爭？

美國突然之間說要取消某些中國貨品的關稅，其實衹是心理戰術。而這樣粗略的戰術，是隱藏在更精深的心理戰術底下的。

忽然間想到一個不好笑的笑話。

想請問美國人，知道不知道耶穌的最重要教訓是什麼？他會忽然之間愕然，因為他們是從來不談這些的。

但他肯定會勉強回答你，如果他覺得尷尬，那是他自己的問題。

如果美國人回答說耶穌的最重要教訓是愛，很好，但那是不完整的答案。

因為，這是美國內在矛盾最深的地方。西方文化本來是重視愛的。難道那些甜密言語都是假的？你們根本不要愛？

為什麼要利用仇恨去鬥爭，而不是用愛去化解仇恨？

話題有點闊了。

為什麼要把東歐小國都拉進軍事集團裏去？北約是不是可以取消軍事元素？把北約改為一個經濟集團不是更好嗎？如果北約衹搞經濟，就不會有戰爭。如果歐洲人要保護歐洲，也有很多方法，不用美國來的。

深思下去，耶穌的最重要教訓不是愛，而是智慧。耶穌最後的一個教訓是説，他將來會派出一位助手(helper)來到人類世界，幫助人類爭取真理。他說，如果你們得到了真理，真理就可以幫助你們得到解放，獲得自由。

為什麼獲得真理就是獲得自由？難道我們不是已經得到了自由了嗎？難道我們是不自由的嗎？究竟美國自稱自由，是不是真的呢？

這一類問題，深入討論一下，對於任何國家，必定有益。

讓我們回頭來看看中國。

最近的東航事件，調查未完，網上已經謠言密佈。謠言數量之多，簡直是目不暇給，擺滿了大部分的互聯網。

我們好像活在謊言世界裏。

我懷疑，中文世界的互聯網，是不是很容易受外來操縱的。最近看到有人說他自己「扛不起這個世界」，立即就一傳十十傳百，瘋傳於虛擬世界，都聽過這句話了。不是說國家興亡匹夫有責的嗎？迴避人生責任，是誰的旨意？還要不要使用肩膀？扛下去？還是卸下去？「側側膊」，也是阿Q精神的大發揚。好像有一種魔力，免費催眠對你説，你扛不起。 

每個人都是會老的。但愛心不會老，責任心不會老，好奇心不會老。關心世界，也不對？挺起胸膛，誠實一點，心理戰爭的臭氣就臭不到你。

其實這也只是一種好奇心:  如果北約變成了一個商業機構，那就天下太平了？有這麽容易？或者真是要研究什麼是真理了。掌握了真理，我們就都自由了。這是心理遊戲呢，爭論天下大事的時候，偶然說一兩句不好笑的笑話，也沒有相干的。

如果真是要打心理戰爭，就真是需要知道真理。這才是最重要的核子武器。

相濡以沬的故事

 9359 相濡以沫的故事   20220323

相濡以沫的故事

當池中的水愈來愈少的時候，就是極端恐慌。天上的太陽，愈來愈威猛。很久沒有下雨，這小水池的水，愈來愈濁。水中的泥愈來愈多，氧氣愈來愈少。

水池的面積，也愈漸收縮。  

從前，這裡是不一樣的。從前，這裡是一個大湖。湖上水波潾潾，游魚和各種水中生物眾多。無憂無慮，自由自在。

 不知如何，這大湖，逐漸收縮了。水中的魚，有面臨滅絕的危機。不止是集體危亡，而是種族滅絕。大約此刻，地球上，只有這一個地方有這一種魚。此外就再沒有了。但偏偏這裡面臨乾旱。湖的面積逐漸收縮，變成只有一個小水池，甚至連水池也不是，只是小洼。

 這水洼裡，只有十幾條魚。擠在極小的空間裡，不但沒有食物，連活動也難。

能夠活到幾時呢？

或者，他們會希望，盡快繁殖，多產魚卵，把希望寄托在將來。但是，這希望很快落空了。

魚老大是最有智慧的魚。魚老大竭盡全力，從水洼的一頭，擠到另一頭。魚老大看到，全部的魚，都是雄性的。一條雌魚也沒有。或者，雌魚的體力較弱，他們也疏於保護，一早死光了。

 魚老大看到，小水洼中，全是魚兄弟。沒有魚姐妹。繁殖的願望，是空想了。種族滅絕的危機，已經變成為事實。他們面臨的，不是暫時的死亡，是永遠的滅絕。

 在這樣的一個群體裡，瀰漫的是甚麼氣氛？

雄性生物的天然特徵，是不喜歡擠到一起的。他們彼此互相厭惡，是正常的。他們絕不會喜歡另一位雄性的氣味。見到也討厭。更不想肌膚相觸。如果距離太近，一定打架。這是生物的規律。如果不打架，反而不正常。因為，打架，才可能迫使對方尋找新領域，把物種擴充出去。

 但現在，新領域並不存在。水愈來愈少。打架已經失去意義。打死了，也扛不走。只能使水更加污濁。

 如果這裡真的有一尾智慧的魚，他會怎樣引領其他的魚？

 他應該怎樣促使所有的魚，團結一致，互助互愛，積極樂觀？

 面臨絕對的失敗，積極，還有甚麼意義？

 他能夠怎樣對抗負面情緒？

 他是否需要對抗負面情緒？

 他能夠怎樣使消極的魚老二，魚老三，魚老四們振作一點？魚老五已經快要死了，魚老六也已經死了，但魚老七正在盡力遊說其他的魚，不要相信魚老大的一套。因為，魚老七以為權力才是生路，魚老七正在野心勃勃，爭取權力。魚老大應該怎辦？

 同一時間，魚老八有更大的陰謀。魚老八想到，要殺光所有其他同類，讓僅存的水，給他自己獨家享用。這樣的陰謀，魚老大又知道不知道？

但是，很快，甚麼陰謀，甚麼權力，都全不管用了。因為，水更少了。

 到了最後，唯一剩下來的水，就是他們嘴巴內裡的口沫。

魚老大對他們說，如果你仍有一點口沫，就對著對方的腮吐一點，讓對方稍為呼吸一點。

 這就是：相濡以沫。

 唯有絕對的困境，才能出現絕對的崇高。而智慧就是在這樣的境地裡顯現的。

忽然，魚老三呻吟了。他說，他再挨不住了，他下體發脹了。

 這樣的境地裡，是沒有人說笑話的。

 但魚老四卻忽然大笑：「你到死，還要拉屎麼？」

但是，魚老三說：「我要產卵了。」

 魚老七也同樣說：「我也好像要產卵了。」　　

 魚老五說：「我也下體發脹了。」

 當所有的雄魚，全部死去的時候，水洼也正式變成一片龜裂的地。

 地裡，埋有很多的魚卵。

 如果下次下雨，水洼再次出現，這一群魚，也許，就能避過種族滅絕的命運的。

　

　

後記

制裁是很可怕的。好像把一根繩子。勒在你的頸上。

但制裁的處境，不及這一群魚。

當你有了挺身而出的英雄氣概，你會一無所懼。置諸死地而後生。絕處可逢生。勇敢的人，才是最後勝利的人。

 

 

 

 

What if Russia is defeated?

 9358  What if Russia is defeated  20220322

That is quite impossible.

 However, it must be examined deeply to realize the total situation. 

The present trend of a Three Kingdom situation is not absolutely certain. The balance could be broken if Russia is defeated in Ukraine. Russia must win the war to protect the balance of the world. 

If Russia is defeated, soon there will be another lost. Taiwan could be the next victim. And lots of other countries would follow. There will be a big harvest for the US to kick away the balance. 

The Ukraine war is a hard war. May be the hard war is not needed if the soft war before that was not lost. Taiwan issue is similar with that. The US and Japan effort to transform the minds of the Taiwan people is quite successful. If the Taiwan situation is kept on like this, a hard war is unavoidable.  

For the meantime, more effort to help Russia is essential. The effort to help Russia is also part of another soft war. It could bring in the attention for the whole world to see what is right and what is wrong. 

The so-called sanction is also a paper tiger. Sanction could not defeat Russia, and China is well prepared for it. 

大形勢

 

三分天下勢已成。  

各據地盤未見驚。  

平衡並非容易事。  

最怕有人超速前。

若果有人能夠在右腦文化的形勢下，突破了瓶頸， 進行了一場真正的科技文化革命, 經濟就會突然超速。持續了許久的三分天下平衡, 就會被打破。時至今日， 西方世界仍是氣電不分。根本不知道在西方科技之外，另有一個尚待發展的東方科技在潛伏著。 中國文化是大有前途的。

美國人的唯一指望，一是自己動手來掌握這個中國文化，讓中國文化被西方利用。二是進行心理戰爭，迅速毀滅中國人對中國文化的自信，使中國人在阿q心態之下永遠抬不起頭來。

這可能是一場曠日持久的持久戰。你會看見這三位巨人反反覆覆地打。但請放心，他們是不會真打的，只像在舞臺上做戲那樣的打。三分天下的形勢，短者幾十年，長則幾百年。真要看看，誰能夠突圍而出了。

What is the story in year 2022?

 9356  What is the higher scenario in year 2022  20200316

The modern three kingdom story is not same with the old one. 

x     x      x

One simple analysis is:  

If you cannot kill the other, you can only live, or, to "co-exist" with them. 

Why you cannot kill each other? because each of you had been equipped with nuclear weapons. You have no choice.

If you do not want to die together, you can only live together.  

The second simple analysis is: 

You can never limit the others. The so-called "sanction" is but a limitation of knowledge to the final end. At first it seemed to be an act of commerce, but the real nature is not to share your secret of science. And it is impossible. 

The so-called "science" if you can look back in 500 years, is only a primary school text book. We are all living in an enviroment of "time", it seemed easy not to share and keep every thing as a secret. However, the so-called secrets of science are like air, it is in the atmosphere, sooner of later, all will have it. 

But the point is not in whether science can be shared or not. 

The point is if you are trying to keep it as a secret, you will limit your own growth. It is same in the running competition. If the first runner keeps watching the second runner, he will lose and the second runner will take over. 

Why not put more effort in your own work and not to watch others?

Maybe I need to repeat a little here:

The analysis is so simple,

If you are to live with the others, you better share with them.  

If you can share with the others, you can love them. Because, it is happier to love than to hate.  

And if you can love them, we can march into the age of peace and wealth, soon. 

x      x     x

Talented actor always expects talented audience. 

The most wonderful show will be on stage. 

Let us see the actors first. 

First actor is Russia the  Northern Giant.

Humans were born in the hot forest.  However, they are tempered in many other situations, just to help them build up a stronger character. Russians were born in a cold place of - 70C in the Siberia. If they are not freezed to die, they must be very strong. There are lots of Siberia document films, if you are not going there to have some experience in the cold. 

Do you think you can strangle them to dead with a little sanction?  

And of course you are not that simple-minded. Sanctions and limitation of sharing will make them stronger instead. 

And now let us see the next actor, China the Eastern Giant. 

Almost all the diplomats in history had found some unknown features in the Chinese characters. Some early English had been in many places in the whole world, and it was the most perplexing finding in Chinese they cannot know why. It is the same today. 

The Chinese have a different perceiving tool in their brain other than the other Giants. 

They are right-brain oriented. They see things differently. 

I have written about it long ago, however, 99.9% of the Chinese still did not know about that.  

The right-brain-oriented status is the only reason of their special culture. 

And their special culture is in the infant period. The right-brained tool had not been well sharpened. And I cannot tell whether it needs another 100 years or another 1000 years and by then, some culture, and not necessarily the Chinese themselves, will suddenly grasp the tool and will be the champion of science in the world.

I am not sure whether the Chinese right-brain-oriented culture can be activated or not. May be it needs time.   

While their right-brain-oriented culture is still in the infant-period, the Chinese are using the Western science now. Even the Chinese medicine is not well developed. May be the real nature of the culture itself is too complicated for anyone to comprehend. 

You can see the Eastern Giant on the stage with almost everything westernized. Their costumes, their stage props, and even their weapons are all made with Western science, with one exception only.  

The exception is the Chinese language itself. It is a right-brain-oriented language, and can produce energy in thoughts…….

The third actor is The Western Giant, the United States. And US is the most familiar actor every one knows. 

As the play is about to start in any moment when suddenly, the ceiling of the stage seemed leaking something.

A raining of powder fell from the ceiling and it was not rain drops. It was only powder. 

Was it a sudden outburst of earthquake? But there was no shaking. 

Some were sitting and wait to see the fighting of the Giants, while some started to examine the powder. 

Will there be Virus in the powder? 

And the show was still on stage while an outbreak of diseases was spreading around the globe………

What is the higher scenario in the Year 2022? 

The fight is meaningless if you cannot kill. 

It is only a show. 

And there are unknown factors in the show. 

No one can know exactly how far the unknown will go. Though we can always remember our first analysis here: 

* If you cannot kill each other, you need to live with each other. 

* If you are to live with each other, its better to love each other. 

* If you cannot refuse each other, better to share. 

* If you can share, you might be the champion. 

* Champion is a title of a game only. You cannot keep it forever, and you are never a dictator of the world. 

*    *    *

The scenario is a little complicated. Lots of question remain unanswered. And you might still want to know, what is the nature of the Western science and what is the prospect of it. 

Western science is a tool. It is the major tool of the Western civilization which is originated in Ancient Greece or even earlier.  

Anyone can use the tool. There is no secret in the tool itself. 

The tool is matured and had reached its adulthood. 

And the tool is not magic. The tool has its own limitations. 

The limitations had kept us in a low development status until now. 

Can we have another tool? 

May be there is a choice of the Eastern civilization. 

However, the Eastern civilization had not been developed. It is still in their infant stage. 

Can we have another type of mathematics, another type of physics? 

For example, a future mathematics with no numbers? We have been using our fingers to count, it is the basic of counting. Can we have a change? 

Can you use something else to count? 

What if you do not use fingers, stones or even digits to count?  

In the future when our right-brain is fully developed, we can think not in concrete substances, but minds and imaginations. We might have another tool other than science. We shall reach a truly rich period of history by then. 

Why Ukraine should return to Russia ?

9355  Why Ukraine should return to Russia  20200310

Ukraine should be definitely returned to Russia. Ukraine was part of Russia in history. The province folks should not have the right to vote against the Country. It was same with Taiwan. Taiwan folks have no right to vote against the people of China. 

And these cases shown the greed nature of Western Capitalism. If the Taiwan people is returned to China, can the looters in the West confiscate  properties of every Chinese in their country? 

Who is allowing such crimes to happen? 

If the looters in the West ever wishes to confiscate any property from other countries, they must get approval from the owners and UN. They must return their robbed money to the owners if they have not the right to do so. 

How can people rob Russians under the pretext of lies?  

Why do the Western countries not taken any action during the Iraq war or Vietnam war and many other similar wars? Sanctions were never heard of.

The greed nature is the worse part of human nature. 

The planet will not have any peace if such greed is allowed and not corrected. 

Ukraine must return to Russia. 

Separatism is no good for the planet. Seperatism is a tool for the looters.  

A son should not run away from his poor family for another wealthier mother. It is the worst kind of human nature. No matter how poor a mother is, she must have the right to keep her son. Taiwan should return to China definitely and so does Ukraine. 

The above is only the First Aspect to see the world. 

The Second and the more important Aspect is Western powers should not try to destroy Russia.

If the looting and so-called sanctions are going on like this, the world will have no peace and Russia will have a hard time, though I think it will stimulate them to standup more firmly. 

If there is a war, the war should be directed to the greedy nature of human minds. The war should not be directed to rob another country. 

The future peace would need the powers to share responsibilities, not only to share the wealth. 

We have only Three Giants on earth. The Northern Russian, The Eastern China, and The Western US. If the Russian is excluded, soon China will be the next victim. The target is on Russia, actually the real aim is on China. The final target is to let the Chinese go back to their feudal past. There will be only one dominating power on this planet if Russia and China are gone. And that would be disastrous for the Western countries, too. Do you think the tycoons will share with you their wealth? It needs a deeper thought.  

Thanks for the recent development of the world affairs. It has shown to the world the real nature of the greed and aggressiveness of Capitalism. The world need improvement, and the world should never be robbed by a few. 

If we are wishing a peaceful and wealthy period ahead of us, we should see it clearly that the aggressiveness had not been gone until now. The greedy nature to rob and to loot is still prevailing. It is a secret design to rob the world by a single country. It was not cold war in Iraq, it was not cold war in Middle-east, and it will not be cold war, certainly, if Taiwan is returning to China.  

If you think that is a simple "cold-war" and the powerful tycoons will take your kind advice, you will be eaten only faster. 

A fighting spirit is important. The peaceful and wealth ahead is waiting for serious fighters, not comfort-minded people. 

We hope the world responsibilities are shared by the three Giants if they are not fallen and can be standing up together. 

However , there is a Fourth Giant waiting. A Fourth Giant is much needed to support the Three. 

The Fourth Giant is Wisdom based upon Love. If humans as well as some kind-hearted politicians are wise enough not to be cheated by the greedy tycoons, they would know what to do.

And for the mean time, the urgent thing is to let Ukraine return to Russia. 

(P.S.  How can you sanction Tchaikovsky?  Tchaikovsky and his Swan Lake Ballet is the wisdom of all mankind.  To sanction him is to sanction the human heart.)

The Giants

 

9353   The Giants  20220305

There were three giants on the planet. The West Giant, the North Giant, and the East Giant. There were no South Giant at the moment. And people thought it was natural to have only three. 

The West Giant was the richest. They were smart and aggressive. The West Giant did not welcome competitors.  

However, the other giant from the North was always a worry. What if the North Giant stand up and come to ask for a share?  They tried to bully him.  They kept all the science and commerce secrets away from him. 

The West Giant was really upset as they had found the North Giant did have a younger brother. It was the East Giant.  

Separate them and kill them one by one..... no one dare to think about it. How could such evil thoughts ever emerged from a human? 

They were young or influenced by the West. They did not know the difference of a solid plan and a soft plan. You have precise steps in a solid plan, but you need only to wait in a soft plan. When the time came, you need only to push a little. 

The West Giant had used parasite warfare against the brothers in a soft plan. They send out parasites with a smile. parasites will be living inside their heart and their brain, so as they could think no more before they die. 

The North Giant knew the plot and always refuse free candies while the East Giant had eaten a lot. They like sweets. The tasteful chocolate will be within their network forever. 

The East Giant will not be a problem anymore. Their power will change hands soon. Now the only problem was from the North. 

The West Giant tried to seduce the son of the North giant.

The West Giant encouraged his son to rebel and run away from family. It was very successful. 

The son will not listen to the North Giant any more. The son was eager to choose another rich mother.  

It was by this time, the Ukraine war had started. 

People had not seen a war for a long time. They were frightened. 

The West Giant was extremely happy about the war.  

It will be only one Giant on this planet, and there will not be other Giants to share with them. The planet will have only one single owner. Other Giants will be consumed or transformed, he thought. 

And it was by this time, the East Giant found he was a little painful in the head. Are the parasites truely living in my brain? He had brushed aside the parasite stories long ago, now he has got a little headache. However, he had decided not to have headaches. And he was only worried about his brother very little. He didn't know parasites would grow and were now like a tightened net around him. 

Everytime he wanted to do something, he noticed the direction will be diverted a little. That was the reason of his headache. He wanted to help the North Giant, and his will was silently changed. 

Will the war consume the North Giant? Is it necessary to do something? He was a good leader, yet he was too busy and did not have enough time to study the case. Consuming or not consuming, it seemed to be not his main concern. He just wanted to keep away from the warfare and keep his home business running safely. And he had found the parasite network comfortable and useful to him in a confusing time like this. He did not think it is the time to beat the devils, though He had certainly not forgotten that he had also a son seduced away by the West Giant, too. 

 

The war in Ukraine will be over sooner or later. 

Yet the soft plan had not been over. And people did not want to irritate the West Giant. 

Though the three Giants had different ideas about the future, however, no one would like to talk about it openly. 

The East Giant had kept saying, the cold war was over, we should not be thinking about it anymore while the West Giant had never responded to the term. He just smiled. Keeping your enemies in their dream, is the best tactic to eliminate them. And he will never argue with them: "Oh yes, we are not in a cold war, the war is hot!"

It was not a suitable time to discuss whether the war was cold, hot, or soft. Because, no one had noticed that the South Giant was there already. He would break into the stage and have a grand show up. And scholars as well as the parasites soon discovered that there was no South Giant, as they had checked all over the planet and found none. 

Every one was happy, again. 

 

Can the Ukrainian problem be settled?

 9352  Can the Ukrainian problem be settled?  20220303

It is urgent to settle the Ukraine Problem, as it is a large stumbling block for the coming age of wealth and peace. 

It is a time of no-war, but smaller wars did happen. It is impossible to fight, but people did fall in the trap of fighting. 

To put out the fire is important. 

But the world seemed not seeing the point. They are excited and want to see more from the fire display. 

If the feeling of hatred persisted, there will be no peace. And the world need to wait a much longer time for the coming wealth. 

Russians were the most isolated nation on earth. They seem to have not many friends except China. The Northern Giant was despised and hated for no reason for hundreds of years. It might be the common foolishness of human beings. They are refusing love from the bottom of their heart. 

Love remains the theme in kindergartens, not political circles. 

Politicians are bully masters, not school teachers. 

Fire is dangerous, people need to think a little. 

Should I keep on bullying the Giant, or should I let the younger ones in Nato to bully him? 

United States has been trying to keep out of the trouble, but once the game is on stage, they could not help but join the cheering crowds. And the game will be a war game sooner or later. 

If the Russians were isolated to the last ounce of strength, you can expect the worse outcome. 

Smart people ought to know it earlier.

Is It the Best way to Strangle Russia?

 

9351 Is It the Best way to Strangle Russia 20220228

One thing we can observe in the Russia-Ukraine war right now is the leadership.  Who is leading the war to defend Ukraine and kill Russia via a special way of blaming and suffocation? 

It is not US definitely. 

The US president had tried to step back a little and had taken no action to send soldiers and fight together with them. 

And what we saw is a strong current of blaming erupted from somewhere to suffocate if not Russia but the ears of the world.  

It is complete isolation from the West. 

And you would see how strong and how powerful the Western money system and commercial systems are. 

You are nowhere to live if they are united and refuse to talk and trade with you. 

And the strange thing reminded us that why are the eruption so powerful without the leadership of US? 

The United States is only a follower this time. 

And you will see someone had decided to stay away from the stormy sea of blaming.

Thou shall not judge.

It is strange that when other invading wars had happened not long ago, the protests were so weak that one could hardly hear them?

What will happen if Russia were really strangled? 

What will happen if you have decided not to let your enemy live? 

What will happen if you have decided to kill with your mouth? 

Some one ought to stand up and say something. 

The world is waiting for China to speak up this time. 

Why there will not be real progress for China?

9349 Why China will not be first to benefit from the Ukrainian Peace? 20220225

The world will be pleased to see the Ukrainian Peace to come to reality. As the US is determined not to send troops and will not be fighting(?) with Russia for the matter. Ukraine will be returning to her mother-land safely. 

*(may be i am wrong,  i am deeply sorry to see some world leaders are so weak in their powers.  20220311)

It marks the Age of Peace is a reality for us all. 

We will all be rich in the Age of Peace. 

And the next issue is the problems of productivity. Humans need a new method to produce their livelihood. 

Humans need to have a bigger leap forward to renew their wisdom to be better living in this planet. 

That meant we need to examine the older science and older knowledges. 

We might need a Wisdom Revolution, thanks to the peace determination of the US. 

There were already lots of hints for the humans. 

There could be totally different approach to the Universe, many had found that the older Chinese had a completely different view about the Universe since the early days. 

There must be a completely different system of knowledge existed. Just waiting for someone to explore and dig it out. 

It could be huge wealth for the first achievers. 

Who will be the first to obtain such wealth? 

It won't be China.

China had been too slow to explore about their ancient wisdom. 

Other countries, like the US or Russia could be the first to explore them. 

How slow were the Chinese been doing?

One, they had simplified the original Chinese characters and were reluctant to return to the original.

Two, they were reluctant to examine the bad influence of Confucius doctrine to study about the Universe and encourage obedience. That is an obvious trend as there were so many "Confucian School" built by the Chinese in  University Campuses around the world. 

Three, they were reluctant to educate the young and leave the powers to the Confucian-minded undercurrent people. They had formed a secret party within the Communist party. And the Chinese are slow and hesitated to handle the matter. They have been waiting for so many years and had taken no action. 

For the reasons listed above, there could not be a real progress in the Chinese science and the chance is waiting for the US and other countries to explore. 

The Age of Peace had arrived yet the Chinese are slow to react.  

Chinese will not be the first to enter the real age of wealth among other nations.   

 

A futile work in my dream

 9348  A futile work in my dream  20220223

I was traveling around the South-Asian countries in my dream. 

I spotted one of the cheap watches there. I ordered one. 

Soon a happy and gay Filipino boy delivered five large boxes to my hotel. 

Each of the boxes was like a box of candy, it was beautifully decorated and cushioned with soft materials inside. 

I was amazed to see the small parts of the watch inside. It must be a complicated watch, with different functions in it. I even found a small lens in the watch, though I didn't know the use of it.  

I was a little excited as it has been my favorite work. I tried to assemble the watch. 

And then I opened the second box. It was same small parts and bits too. I found I need to pick up the small parts and fix it together. The worse time came when I tried to fix 4 small screws simultaneously into a copper plate no bigger than my nail. I tried and tried in vain. 

I worked until the next morning and found my eyes were very tired.

And I thought to myself, the watch is so cheap why fix it on my own?

And then I examine the lens again. It was supposed to be a pair of binoculars. What is the use to have binoculars in a watch? 

I was doubtful about the job suddenly.  

It is useless and futile.      

And meaningless, too. 

And suddenly the door bell rang. 

I opened the door and found the happy and gay Filipino boy again. He was carrying another five boxes for me. 

I cannot remember whether I have ordered it or not. 

Do I need to do the same job again? 

And I was lucky to wake up in such a moment.  

I was still in my home, not the South-Asian city.

What is the First Step towards Peace in Ukraine?

 9347 What is the First Step towards Peace in Ukraine? 2022 0220

The First Step towards Peace is same everywhere in the planet. It is not only Ukraine needed peace, we all need it. 

The First Step is love. 

And it is more than loving your own family. And you know what I meant. 

Love is more than loving your family, love is loving your enemy. 

Because if we are not loving, we will have no peace. 

Because if we have no peace, we would have no wealth, too. 

The time of peace is started from love. 

May be that is a little complicated for humans to understand. 

Because the time of war is over. Because wars could not be won in our time. and this is a special time which the leaders understood clearly. 

If you cannot fight, if you know there is no way to fight, then you must choose another tactic to do your business to make some money. 

And the tactic is love. 

Love could be a way out for everybody, like the way out from Iraq. 

And it is the same. 

When you can give the other side a chance, that meant you have a good will. and that is more than a good will. It is love. 

We are in a planet of not much love now. 

All it needs is a simple start. 

When you can bring love into the politics, everyone would follow. 

Politics is important. Politics is leading the way. If you have good politics, you will have everything. If you do not have good politics, you lose everything. 

And it is as simple as that. 

Love is everything. 

Love needs to have a good start. 

And now is a good chance of love for us earth dwellers. We have been waiting for two thousand years. 

We shall create an age of love.  

We need the first step towards love. 

It seemed to be complicated in the world affairs. But if you can go up a little, just like a camera on the satellite and could see more clearly the picture. What is a hill and what is a river, and where would the river flow to, it is so clear. 

...

What is the obstruction to peace in Ukraine?

 9346 What is the obstruction to peace in Ukraine? 2022 0218

It seemed to be complicated of the world affairs. But if you can go up a little, just like a camera on the satellite and could see more clearly the picture. What is a hill and what is a river, and where would the river flow to, it is so clear that you would understand quickly what is happening. 

I am talking about Ukraine now. 

Only when you go up, up and up and then you would see a simple picture. 

It is only simple lines, and simple directions. 

There won't be any peace if people submerge their heads. As they cannot see the simple lines from above. 

Peace is to allow your enemy to survive. 

If you put in strength to "contain" the other side, the other side would think they are not going to survive. And to survive they must choose a measure to counter your offence. That is so simple. 

And this is a time you cannot "eliminate" your "enemies". If you choose to fight, you will find you are "eliminating" yourself. 

Give each other a chance and both can survive and both will be rich. And we could get into the age of peace peacefully. 

If the US is not allowing the Russians to survive, what will happen in the end? 

The simple fact is the Russians need to survive, and be united. If the NATO is used to block the way of peace, there won't be a good sleep for all. 

If there is no NATO, the Russians will not be dominating the world and will not harm the survival of the United States.  

It is a very simple logic. But I wonder why people couldn't understand it. 

With a clear logic in mind, both sides could start talking now. 

 What is the prospect of human beings 2022 0212

Many of the problems in humans are because of an unsure future. And this is the main reason of human short-sightedness. 

Why can't we imaginine ten thousand years ahead?

Its because many would measure things with a unit of their own life. If they believe a so-called life-span is only 100 years, then he would have no interest to see things happening one hundred thousand years later.   

This is a wrong perception about life. 

Because soul is limitless. The body is only a tool for the soul. The soul could be repeating itself in different bodies. We know not much about this, but one thing is certain: We do not know the secret of life. We do not know how can a baby receive an unknown energy and start to live. And we could not know where would the unknown energy be going if the body is too old and cannot use anymore. We do not know the coming and the going of such unknown energies. Therefore, anyone can pretend to estimate the life cycle is only once and pretend to see their own life is limited within a short time only. But it is not certain and not proved.   

Any one can choose to believe life is short, or long. To choose a longer view could help one to imagine more. If one believes life is an unending process then one is sure to think about the prospect of human beings. 

This presumption is a starting point for us to think for the future. And it is important as it could stop us from fighting and be friendly to each other. 

From a higher angle to see, we would be certain that a peace time will be coming. Because humans are living easier now as they have more knowledge to handle daily needs. And a longer time of peace would be possible as fighting is not good for everyone. You will not be wealthier if you had won the battles. You would only be poorer. 

But the presumption should not be stopped here. 

What if we are rich and what if we are in the age of peace?

What then? 

What will happen to us human beings if we are rich and in peace? 

Yes we would be united and we would be one. 

But the question remains. What then?

We will be so smart and so much able then by the time after ten thousand years we would think we must be "nearly" reached the stage of "almighty". And that would be only a short time of ten thousand years. What will happen in one million years?  

What is the prospect of human beings by then? 

Our souls will be combined into a single unit. 

All the human species will be in a single unit to think. 

It seemed to be monotheism, but it is not. It is only about the possible development of human beings. If their souls are so strong and so united, then it would be growing into a whole for them. 

I expect we would create another human species somewhere in the Universe or outside the Universe in a milllion-year-future. 

And we would monitor their every deeds and every achievements, just to help them to achieve more. 

Why we need to do this? 

It is because we have not yet solved the problem of our own existence. We do not know why we would be living and the best attempt is to bring in an offspring to see that problem more clearly. The offspring is just another species of human and we seem to be the species of god to them. 

One of them would "pray" to you, they will be smart to use the inner connection to reach us:  "Oh, the Almighty Father, please tell me why I am here and what is the prospect of our fate."

And you would answer them: "My son, we the species of your god are also created by someone else. We are in an unending circle of lives. It is like a mother. Mother produced another mother to produce yet another mother... And I believe the answer is in the circles and that means you could find it somewhere in your life, don't you find life is challenging and beautiful? "   

You would answer many such questions everyday, and you will collect the data to estimate the development of the species of your sons and daughters. 

And now, lets get back to our present situation. 

What is the purpose of our imagination? 

We would be a little frustrated if we have found life is really beautiful and challenging, but, it seems, peace is never achievable for us. Humans can think of only present situation, never the future. 

Why our leaders are not thinking same with us? Don't they know what is love and what is forgiving? 

And the leaders are talents. They could avoid warm and smiling pressure from influence groups and think on their own. 

They are really talented people. 

Peace will be arriving on this planet. And we shall start another million years soon. 

 

LET US THINK

 Let us think......it is important

(machine translated)

The story of Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre (1823-1915) is shocking, the mystery he posed is  amazing, however,  a hundred years has lapsed,  mankind still seems to have not found the answer.  And people began to forget the issue. We shouldn't have forgotten it. 

 Fabre is a self-taught entomologist.  His research started with a tiny wasp.  He discovered a puzzling chain of facts.  Wasps themselves do not eat meat, only the sap of flowers.  However, wasp larvae eat meat.  How do wasps feed their larvae?  In fact, wasps have never seen their own larvae.  Wasps will find a small hole to lay their eggs, and then put some undead crickets, unicorns, or spiders in the hole.  Although these insects were not dead, all of them had their ganglia stinged by wasps and could not move.  Just can't move, but the body function is normal, so it can keep fresh and let the newly hatched wasp larvae eat happily.  

 It was once thought that the sting of the wasp has an antiseptic effect, so that the stinged insects can keep fresh.  However, Fabre discovered that these undead insects were only stinged by the wasps in the ganglia of the joints of the limbs, just like the acupuncture points in the martial arts novels, only the limbs could not move, but all other functions were normal.

 The question is, how can the wasp's acupuncture skills be so powerful?  

 One of the wasps' favorite foods is the kangaroo spider.  This marsupial has two important ganglia.  One directs the movement of the limbs, and the other directs the opening and closing of the fangs.  Both of them were stabbed.  As for the cricket, there are three important ganglia, and all three are hit.  The cricket could only stare blankly at itself being eaten.  

 A bit like parents who are going away.  Say to your children, "Mom and dad are going out for a few months. A cow has been reserved for you, and you can eat fresh beef every day. Don't be afraid, this cow's nervous system has been stabbed with anesthesia and won't move , your beef will be fresh and will not be rotten.....”

 What is even more strange is that the larvae of the wasp actually keep the most important part of the insect, eating only the edges of the internal organs, and save the heart part for the last to eat.  In this way, the insects may stay alive, keep the meat fresh, and keep the wasp larvae from eating to adulthood.

 In the end, where did the wasp's growth equation come from?  Where did the wasps get their secret tricks for burrowing?  Is it "evolutionary"?  Or "learning"?  If this is a gift, then why is "talent" so weird?  What is the purpose?

法布爾是否比達爾文更重要？ ………………………………………………*李察 (問到底 No.7895    2010 0927        Monday) 　 

　 　　法布爾(Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre, 1823-1915)的故 事，是這樣的震撼，他所提出的謎團是這樣驚人，但 是，差不多一百年過去了，人類似乎仍未找到答案。 不但沒有答案，而且，漸漸的人們開始忘記他了。 

　 　　法布爾是自學成功的昆蟲學家。他的研究，從一 隻小小的胡蜂開始。他發現了一連串使人大惑不解的 事實。胡蜂本身是不吃肉的，只吃花朵的汁液。但是， 胡蜂的幼蟲，卻要吃肉。胡蜂怎樣餵養自己的幼蟲呢？ 其實，胡蜂是從未見過自己的幼蟲的。胡蜂會找一個 小洞產卵，然後在洞裡放進一些未死的蟋蟀、獨角仙、 或者蜘蛛。這些昆蟲雖然未死，但全部都是被胡蜂刺 了神經節，動彈不得的。只是不能動，但身體機能正 常，所以，能夠保持新鮮，讓剛剛孵化的胡蜂幼蟲， 吃過痛快。 

　 　　曾經有人以為，胡蜂的刺裡，有防腐作用，使被 刺的昆蟲，能夠保持新鮮。但是，法布爾發現了，這 些未死的昆蟲，只是肢體關節部位的神經節被胡蜂刺 中了，就好像武俠小說裡的點穴那樣，純只是肢體不 能動，但其他機能全部正常。

 　 　　問題是，胡蜂的點穴功夫，怎會如此厲害？ 

　　 　　胡蜂喜歡的食物之一是袋蜘蛛。這種袋蜘蛛有兩 處重要的神經節。一處指揮肢體運動，一處指揮獠牙 開合。而這兩處，全部被刺中了。至於蟋蟀，則共有 三處重要的神經節，也是三節全中了。蟋蟀只能眼白 白看著自己被吃掉。 

　 　　有點好像要出遠門的父母。對子女說，「爸爸媽媽 要出門幾個月了。已經為你們預留了一頭牛，你們可 以天天吃新鮮牛肉了。不要怕，這牛的神經系統已經 被刺了麻醉藥，不會動，也不會腐爛的、、、」 

　　 　　而更奇怪是胡蜂的幼蟲，竟然曉會保留昆蟲的最 重要部份，只吃內臟的邊緣，把心臟部份，留到最後 才吃。這樣，昆蟲就可能保持活著，保持肉質新鮮， 讓胡蜂的幼蟲，一直從小吃到大。

 　 　　到底胡蜂這一條成長方程式，是從那裡來的？胡 蜂從何處得來點穴的神秘技巧？是「進化」得來的嗎？ 還是「學習」得來？如果說，這是天賦的，那麼，為 甚麼「天賦」得如此古怪？有何用意？

Why Taiwan could be the best place on earth?

 9344 Why Taiwan could be the best place on earth 2022 0209

Actually all places could be best places on earth. All places could be heaven. It is an age of wealth, and together with an age of peace. But Taiwan is somewhat special. 

When people are living in a prolonged uncertainty about their future, they would be worried. And they would not believe that fate is determined by themselves. 

If Taiwan could be built into a heaven, where everyone is happy and satisfied, then the place is sure to be admired and everyone would like to come and join the happiness.

Would it be possible?

There are so many talented people in Taiwan and nothing is impossible for them. 

Some times politics would become ugly and it could bring in difficulties, but once the political problems are settled, Taiwan is sure to be the richest place.There would be lots of chance in doing business in Taiwan and huge investments would come in. 

When people are loving each other and be wise to treat each other, everything is possible. 

Why Taiwan people are so much talented?  They knew the reason and every body knew it. There is a bright future ahead.
