How to Settle the Taiwan Issue without using Blood?

 9367  How to Settle the Taiwan Issue without using Blood?   20220426

There is a method to settle the Taiwan Issue. China needs not to use blood to do that.  

It needs not to lose blood, and money too.  

Whenever bribery was involved,  bad result could not be avoided that it needs to trust and rely on greedy people.   

Blood and money are not needed to settle the Taiwan Issue. 

China needs only to use their own blood --- blood flowing inside their own brain. They need only to use this blood to think.  

Taiwan Issue is a mind issue. The minds need to be captured. 

In the case of Taiwan, to capture the mind is in two steps. 

The first step is to solve the language problem. The next step is to solve the spirit problem. 

We shall study the language problem here. And we will discuss the spirit problem later. 

If the language problem is settled, a lot of the Taiwan Issue is done.     

Only one job needs to do:  that is -   

"To promote the use of Traditional written Chinese."

It is not necessary to give up the use of Simplified Chinese at the same time, however, an  intention to promote the Traditional Chinese,  is ready to capture Taiwan minds. They will willingly be captured.  The minds are not only at your side, they love you.  How can you make people love you? That is the most difficult part. When a complete communication ground of culture is set up, there will be no barrier between the two. You have the same language now .  

And the first people to be benefited is the mainlanders themselves.

As the Chinese is easier to read in traditional form of writing. The "message amount"(訊息量) in each word is more than the  Simplified Chinese. It is much richer and it is beautiful. It is much faster to read in the Tradition Chinese.   People will love to read more. the Chinese people will be wiser and smarter, and the total growth will be much faster.  

Taiwan people will love the mainland people not only that they can be benefited from the affluence of China, but that they will have the feeling that they were actually brothers and sisters and were sharing the same language and same spirit. 

There will not be a concept of "conquerer" and "surrenderor". They will be happy to come to the Chinese side.  

And the basic part of the language plan is to arrange the Traditional Chinese vertically. It is important. The original Chinese was designed in a vertical form, each word is arranged from up till down, and the columns will help the eye and brain to create concepts quickly.

Vertical is more natural in Chinese. 

Inserts of foreign languages are optional but to follow the foreign way of  horizontal editing will create  a  lost in the Chinese language.  The horizontal format in computers and mobiles are a little problem, but it won't be too difficult to modified them. And it needs not be a fixed rule for all publications. Science and mathematic studies need horizontal printing. 

Chinese is a fast language. It is the fastest language in the whole world. With the design of a traditional form of writing and vertical columns,  images will be much easier and faster to show in the mind. That is important for a good thinking process. 

Simplied form of Chinese  reduced the reading speed, and thus the thinking power, however, they are still the fastest language in the whole world. It is because, Chinese is the only language activated from the right sphere of the brain. 

Now both sides from the Strait will share the advantage of the language. Sharing the language is sharing the mind. It is a good start for the two sides.  

為什麼人類的求知慾漸漸喪失?

*

 以下是一篇舊文章。十年前的世界,  今天已經完全不同。其中一個最主要的分別,  是人們的求知慾正在漸漸消減。舊文章詢問:  真理在哪裏?  但是今天的人類卻對這問題,  全不感到興趣。多數人的問題衹是: 金錢在哪裏?還有就是:   白馬王子在哪裏?   就是這麼多了。其實真理才是最主要的大問題,  是關乎國運興衰的最重大問題。

真理在那裡？ ………………………… 李察 (問到底　2011 0212) 　

 　 如果真理不是在人類手上，那麼，我們每天那樣的努力，為的是甚麼呢？人類追求的是甚麼呢？

 　 如果考問李察，李察的答卷會是：追求的是一種「暫時真理」。真的、終極的真理，是在宇宙主宰手上的。以人類的力量，大約只可能得到臨時性質的了解。 　 　　

      我們引以為自豪的甚麼牛頓力學、愛因斯坦原理、或者中國人的內在理論，都只是這一類的臨時真理，可以暫時應用，但不可能永久堅持。因為，人類的了解，無法超脫於人類的六識認知。 　 　　

       只有一種超脫的可能：當人類能夠跟宇宙主宰徹底溝通，當人類真正得到了那種天地萬物與我為一的了解，就能徹底明白，真正超脫。 　 　

       亦可以這樣說：雖然真理並不在人的手上，卻仍是可能的。徹底的溝通，使人也可能獲得真理。

Why you saw more clearly than the fish?

 

9365  Why you saw more clearly than the fish  20220423

A note from the writer: 

I  had finished writing the article several days ago. But I was reluctant to release it as it is in the height of a conflict in Ukraine, few would have the patience to read something not concerned. 

And then I have a second thought. What we are discussing here is some thing about "level". It is an important subject in the art of war. If people can go up one level, they must be simply like watching the gold fish in a fish bowl. They could see more clearly than the fish.......

I heard the following story from a mobile:  

Someone had used a simple method to explain the theory of genocide. 

He invented a story that there were four people on the end of a rail track and a rail cart was running toward the four. However, he had found a fat guy was on the side of the rail track.  His question was whether he should push the fat guy to the rail to stop the running cart and save the four. He said it was  a moral matter to decide whether to push the fat guy is justified or not. 

He invented another story that if you are a surgeon and there were four people in the clinic waiting for organ transplant. One of them need to change a lung, the next to change a liver,  the third needs heart, the fourth a pancreas. You just had no organ donation and you didn’t know what to do. 

It was at this moment another guy came in your clinic; he was healthy. Should you use the organs from this guy to save the other four? 

He said genocide is not justified even using one life to exchange four. 

“Should you push the fat guy?” He asked the audience. 

From the response of the audience I knew he must be well-trained. And it was broadcasted during the height of the Ukrain-Russian conflict, when the United Stated president is accusing the Russian "genocide". Maybe he wanted to let the audience know more about "genocide".

A thought came to my mind. 

If the speaker was Buddha, he would never thought of pushing the fat guy into the rail, and he would have never thought about the guy is fat or not; but instead he would have jumped into the rail himself to save the four. 

Actually it was a famous Buddha story.

When Buddha was a king, a pigeon suddenly flew into his feet trembling for help and a fierce eagle was at the door step wanted to grab the pigeon. 

Buddha stopped the fierce eagle, “I will give you some food from my kitchen and please let go the pigeon”.  

But the eagle refused. He wants only the meat of the pigeon. 

Buddha said, “Ok, then I will give you some of my own meat.” He took over a sword and cut a piece of meat from his own thigh. But the eagle was angry when he saw the piece of meat. The eagle said, “ your meat is too small, not enough to trade for a pigeon. “

Then the Buddha King ordered his servant to prepare a scale, putting the pigeon on one side and his meat on the other side of the scale. His meat seemed to be not heavy enough to balance with the pigeon. 

Then Buddha cut another piece, and another piece, until he had cut himself all blood strained and the weight was still not enough. 

I dare not to say he was wrong. He was kind- hearted and noble. His mind of love is to be admired. He didn’t hurt anyone else to save the pigeon. 

However, it needs to raise up one level to ponder about the problem. Using a simple arithmetic calculation like 

        5 -1 = 4

cannot solve the problem.

An upper  "level" inspection can lead us into a deeper thought. 

How can the four people be saved? 

May be there was a reason of their sickness. 

What is the problem and how do we solve the problem?

Can you tell all the eagles or tigers or lions be  kind  eating only vegetables? It must be a real genocide this way as you would kill all of them. 

We need to go up higher to inspect the problem. 

All were like gold fish inside the fish bowl. You simply need to get out and look back, and you will see how were the fish swimming. 

Now we have only three fish here. 

From your eye they were but fish, but others thought they were giants. 

The Western Giant seemed to be in a suicidal mind trying to kill the other two. It is suicidal and he didn't know it. 

How are you going to tell those fish or giants not to fight against each other because it is suicidal?  How can you stop them? 

With a thought like this, now you can jump. 

You can go back to the fish bowl because you were still a fish not an outsider. Though your vision is more clearly than before. 

How would you tell the other fish the actual situation? 

It is absolutely not easy. 

And let us get back to Buddha on the sword, or Jesus on the cross to look upon them. 

They were on the air and we were swimming fish. 

They must have seen some thing. There must be some very extra-ordinary things happened in their mind by that moment. 

They must be inspired. 

They saw what we didn't. 

And now the task is still waiting. How would you treat a suicidal patient? Would you like to kill him or heal him? Or be killed by him? It must be the greatest problem since we were born. 

Don't tell me whether you are Western, Eastern or Northern. There were other problems other than suicidal for us.

We need to fly into the air one more time to look back. 

 

How can swimming be life-shortening ?

 9366  How can swimming be life-shortening  20220418

Chairman Mao would have lived longer if he was not swimming. I thought he might have ten more years before he dies. 

It was because swimming is a situation that could bring away Qi from the body. 

What is Qi? 

Qi is some kind of flowing inside and outside our body. Studies were still in the early stage, but we can watch it with our own experience. 

It is certain that each one would have a certain among of Qi in his body. The Qi is always flowing. An experienced Qi master can bring the Qi from one part of his body to another part. 

If I was sprained in my angle, I could move some Qi to heal it. 

Because the cells need Qi.  Qi can fix the wounded cells. 

It was a founding from my own experience. 

During my many years of Qi practice, though I am still a beginner, I have found Qi can be stagnant sometimes. It would stay in one place and make me feel uncomfortable and sick. 

It was by this time, to release the extra Qi is necessary.  

If Qi was staying in the head in an excessive form, one would have insomnia and many problems.

How to release Qi from the head?  There were many methods. Message, arm swinging, combing hair, or even bending down to touch the earth with the head can help. 

I use water sometimes.  

Stand straight under the shower and let the water run through the head and body can help to release Qi. 

And I went to swim. 

Swimming is helpful in reducing Qi from the body. 

It stirred my thought.  

Why I need to eat more after swimming? And why I cannot reduce weight even I swim a lot? 

It was because, swimming had reduced my Qi. For the younger swimmer, it might be good practice as the recovering can help the swimmer build up the body. But for the older people, recovering is not easy and have to resort to sleeping more and eating more to replenish the Qi. It would be harmful for older people in the long run. Because the total among of Qi would be less and life energy is reduced. 

Qi is one of the most important elements in the body other than blood. 

Qi is helpful in thinking. 

How can the thoughts flow? Does it need energy? The answer is yes. Qi can help. Energy must be coming from different sources, blood and electricity are important, and some of the chemical substance also. Qi is simply another element. That was the common understanding of the poets in history. To write fluently you need Qi. To write dryly is the result of Qi lost. 

Thinking too much is bad for sleeping. But it is not easy to stop thinking when you have to manage too many things in the day. One method is to write down the thoughts before sleep. It needs not a complete work of an article, but if you can jot down some of the points, or simply list out questions, you would find the thoughts would be tidy up and new finding would appear in the next morning. 

When you have written down the thoughts, you can have a good sleeping. Because by this time,  Qi is already released.  

It is a time of curiosity lost. Seldom do people found it interesting to study Qi. However, Qi must be another important element in composing the planet. 

Qi must be flowing beneath our earth. 

And Qi is related. 

Qi is related between couples, relatives, friends, and even strangers.  

Qi is a related energy for the whole population. 

If the total population is happy, extraordinary things could happen. 

The feeling would be echoed by the total Qi under our feet.   I have an imagination that even the color of the water would change, like the Yellow river. The Yellow river had been changing from yellow to green. There must be a reason of it, imagination cannot stop me from thinking it is related to the feeling of the total population.  

It was not only my own imagination. It was from Wen Tian Xiang. He wrote in his poem: “The song of the positive Qi”  

“There is a positive Qi in the Universe. The Qi is in many forms, bestowed on all ever-changing subjects.  Qi is rivers and mountains below and stars and sun above……”

 

 

 

Chapter 2 is important

to capture minds before the land

 

Will the US wait until 2028?

  9362  Will the US wait until 2028?    20220414

Will the US wait  until the time of 2028? Year 2028 is the expected time for China to be really rich. It was said that China economy will suppress that of the US and will become the world’s largest economy by that year. Will the US wait and not doing anything before China is too strong for them? 

Anyone will know, it will not happen. If you are to beat a giant, you must do it when the giant is still weak. 

And the Ukraine war is a "perfect" war. 

It happened so suddenly and the West was extremely happy to find a situation like this. It is just in time for them to consume Russia by this "perfect" war.

It is a good chance to consume energies of Russia like this.  Now  the time is NOT to contain China any more. It is a must to beat China before 2028. It will not be delayed until a time too late to do this. 

And it is so obvious a situation that the Chinese must have known it already. 

What if Russia is defeated?  

The Western fantasy is that  there will not be a China rising in 2028 if Russia is defeated. All hope lies in the following defeat for China.  All American worries will be gone. There must be deep concern and detailed calculation in the US side, though it will not be less from the Chinese side. The Chinese must have been expecting something like this long ago. 

It could be disastrous for China if Russia is defeated. 

Supporting Russia is urgent and essential. Ukraine is a front door for the next war. Maybe the next war is ready already. 

It is the best hope that Russia will win the whole game; Russians must not be defeated. Every inch of the Ukraine soil must be in the safe hands of Russia, not NATO. It is important.  

Supporting Russia is irritable to the US. But history is just going like this. When someone had determined to take action to suppress China before 2028, they must have predicted the irritation. 

And more irritation is expected in the Taiwan Strait. They will start doing anything to irritate China and to start the war after Ukraine. If the economy war is not working , there will be a military war following. It will happen any date before  2028. It is determined and could not be avoided by courtesy and bitter swallowing.   If China is not responding to the irritations, there will be other more serious initiations. 

Russia is not fighting with the Western single handedly. They will not be lonely when the same is going on in Taiwan Strait.   

Some people had hoped for a color revolution in China and they had bet highly on their secret political agents in a shadow. That would be very helpful for the West. 

Will it be the same fate for China as well as Russia? 

There will be only one exception for this weird history. If the agents did win the secret political war before year 2028, then the leadership of China will be in the hands of US. The US-Russia-China balance will be lost and China will be united with the US to beat Russia. When Russia is gone, US will be the boss of the whole world like the old times.

Russia the Giant

 9363  Russia the Giant 20220405

Someone asked: “How can you say that Russia is a giant when their GDP is so small?”

GDP is not the only criteria to define a giant.  It’s the same with China.  China had been a very poor country.  Yet it’s certain that China is a Giant.

Russia is a most human like people.  It is because they were from the far North. They need to fight very hard to survive in extreme conditions. They are determined and very strong.  During the recently Covid lock down, Russians were same with everywhere else, rushing to shop in the supermarkets. It is strange to see that the most seek upon object was salt.  It reflects their ancient life when they have caught an animal and have to eat the meat raw but they have very little salt by that time. The ancient memory is still in the minds of the Russian. They can't forget the hard experience and remain a strong mentality. 

And they were far from bad culture pollutions.  Other Giants had suffered from culture pollution. For example, there were no “Ah Q” * in Russia. Confucianism had created Ah Q in China only. The Russians do have weak characters, you can find most of them in the Russian literature, yet there has not been a disease of Ah Q in the Russian mind. They are wise and  straightforward. And the Western materialism thought had not been influential in the Russian mind. They were not money oriented as some Western people did.  

Maybe they are not "smart" in the Western eye. It’s because of their geographical circumstance of coldness.  They were too busy fighting in the wild having less time to ponder the physics of the nature like the ancient Greeks. Maybe the only setback is their practical mind. They do not have much time to deal with abstract concepts like the early Greeks. When Peter the Great went to Europe disguised as a shipyard worker, he wanted to learn technical knowledge but not theory. 

Yet the Russians are great learners. Since the times of Peter the Great, the Russians were learning with a big effort. 

Now they have the most advanced literature and music, anyone who had read Leo Tolstoy or other Russian writers, may admit their literature is one of the best in the world. There were only a few could have reached that standard. For example, Victor Hugo from France or the Unknown Chinese writer who had written "the Dream of the Red Chamber” were comparable to Leo Tolstoy.  

And when Solzhenitsyn the great writer was in the United States, Many Journalists could not understand why he chose to live in the coldest place in the States. Why he didn’t choose a more comfortable place instead? They had found it mockingly funny. They could not understand it was the mother earth of Russia in his mind. When he said the American music were unbearable and criticized the American culture, they felt insulted. And he had never had a chance to publish his later books in the States.

Russian music is the noble spirit of Russia. You don't have to compare Tchaikovsky or the Swan Lake with the West, you only need to listen to Shostakovich and his Waltz no. 2, you will find it is far more subtle and deep in feeling then most of the Western Waltz music. The suffer and setbacks of the European people were not as far as the Russian. They were waltzing around in a different mood. And music is the few subjects that you cannot compare which one is better or worse. The hidden power of Bach, Mozart or Beethoven were in the minds of Russian too. They are only different. The sanctions given to the Russia music, will be a shame for the United States in history. 

The Russians were the first to try Communism which was an unforgivable crime in the eyes of the rich elites in the West. Though they had not been successful yet it is the first attempt to try to run the country in a collective way, which might be another option to handle human affairs. And there were ups and downs of the communism movement. Sad things did happen. It was too big an attempt and they were lacking necessary experience and deep thought about that.  

There were seen or unseen wars against Russia since then. The hatred against Russia and even China has never stopped. And it was by this time, the true side of human mind were shown. That the truth was not decided by the truth itself, but interests. Money was the only standard of truth. If communism was a threat to the rich, then it was evil and must be destroyed. 

And the world had changed. Something very strange did happen in the human mind and was neglected. Most of the world did not notice that humans had entered a time of “curiosity lost” during the time of the conflict between US and Russia. 

Most of the enthusiasm about knowledge had gone. The sudden shock of the whole world when Charles Darwin first presented his theory of evolution did not happen a second time. When electricity was first discovered, you saw how people flew their kites to the cloud trying to “catch” the electricity, people will not repent even the experiment had failed and many people died for this attempt and people are eager to quest the nature even more. However, all the curiosity had disappeared now.  

The time of curiosity had ended. We were at a stage of “curiosity lost”. When people heard that there was other thing called “Qi” which might be the other power other than electricity, they just shrugged their shoulders.  The fever to know is subsided. Scientist are thinkers no more; they are now makers only. When they had found a job in some huge factory, they simply work to make the products and do not question further. 

We might not aware that the curiosity lost is related to the political conflict when people are deep in the thought to fight for the interest of a few rich elites, they had forgotten the internal question of “why”. Why are we here on this planet? It is only a joke for them. 

Now there is a deeper conflict in Ukraine and other mishaps like the Covid virus in the planet. And one thing was sure that the virus problem will not destroy human and the Ukraine matter will be finished sooner or later. All rains will stop. There will not be a rain forever. The curiosity lost, which is a much serious illness of mankind will be gone also. And the three giants will be still standing side by side.  

One thing is sure that Russia will not be defeated and will be rich again. The Ukraine Episode will last for some more time but will not last forever. May be things need more time to be fixed. When everything was settled, we shall see a new atmosphere in the world. 

And the Russian will be happy to see, there will be a bigger change in China and the United States. The US will be forced to be friendly with the other giants. It is the only way out, if the American people ever wishes to be great again. 

Now we have three giants on this planet. And it is possible humans will get away from the trap of “curiosity lost” earlier if the planet people were in peace again.         

___________________________________________________________

Note: “Ah Q” was a character created by the Chinese writer Lu Xun in a short story “The story of Ah Q”, which had had a great impact of the Chinese mind after the Ching Dynasty was overthrown. Ah Q represents the negative side of human nature under influence of Confucius. The negative thought had been deep in the subconscious mind in the Chinese culture and was not easy to change completely until now.     

          

一篇十一年前的舊文

 為何簡單的問題，卻是不可解決？ ………………………… 李察 (問到底No.8039　　　　2011 0218 Friday) 　 

　　 　　

（作者按:

這是一篇寫在11年前的文章。今日重看，形勢已經不同。很多問題，包括奶粉問題等等，都在一種驚人的努力之下，逐步解決。希望明天更好。)

-----

所有的中國問題，似乎都是很簡單的。奶粉問題，簡單不簡單？上訪問題，簡單不簡單？如果派一隊人去，二萬人的一隊有效率社工，要用多少錢？算全部的社工都是最高資歷的，每人年薪三十萬元，給他們五年時間。算一算，其實只要三百億元，再外加配套支援七百億，總共一千億，平均每年只要二百億，就甚麼都解決了。 　 　　

有沒有這樣簡單？ 　 　　

當然是沒有這樣簡單的。沒有靈魂的人，或可妙手回春。但是，沒有靈魂的整個文化，就不是這一回事。

嚴格說，中國人不是沒有靈魂，而是靈魂被惡鬼控制。孔子的惡鬼，已經深入到集體潛意識之中。軟弱、無奈、聽命、搶錢的集體性格，決定了一切。 　 　　

從前叫做朋黨，今日叫做派系的特殊結構，無處不在。派出社工？只要想一想，問題尚未提出，罪名已經成立。孔子的潛在惡靈，全方位監視，甚麼都不能動。 　 　　

有人喜歡把一切問題，都算到共產黨頭上。其實，問題是未必與共產黨相關的。中國人曾經遭遇的所有重大問題：包括了太監問題、外戚問題、朋黨問題、外患問題、災荒問題、都在孔子當道的時候發生。 　 　　

甚麼黨的問題，只是政治問題。而孔子的問題，卻是文化問題。那一種政治形態好些，是外在的，表面的。內裡沒有靈魂，外在的體魄無論怎麼樣，都沒有用。 　　　 　　

如果本身是阿Q，你給他穿上美國西裝也好，英國西裝也好，他仍然是阿Q。 　　

簡單問題，不能簡單解決。因為，簡單問題的內裡，是複雜的文化失誤。只是，這樣的道理，無法向一群失去靈魂的人說清楚。

2022愚人節

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.
