What is the nature of the Prigozhin show?

It is a very simple case. If you refuse to accept what the press told you that it is extremely complicated.

It is because some people wanted to deny involvement of the United States.

There is a simple way to see  external efforts.

People will do strange things.

They behave strangely.

They will refuse a simple job only because foreign leadership was not allowing them to do so.

He is following his external master.

Sometimes a dog will run faster than his master.

The United States people are not prepared to overthrown Russian leadership at the moment, yet his dog is running faster than him.

That is all, except that some people want to stage a show for another purpose......

What did Biden mean by the word "it"?

Biden said:  “The reason why Xi Jingping got very upset, in terms of when I shot that balloon down with two box cars full of spy equipment in it, was he didn't know it* was there." （BBC）

What does the word "it" mean here?

Some of the Chinese press translated it as the balloon, but how can the balloon be  embarrassing? 

If the word "it" means the "two box cars full of spy equipment", then the situation will be different. 

How can Xi not knowing the spy equipment was there? 

If Xi really did not know the equipment was there, then someone must had been lying to Xi.

And it would be more than  embarassing. 

The other situation is that Biden was lying. There was actually NO spy equipment in the balloon. This is a possibility cannot be ruled out. The United States leaders do have a record of lying in history. 

Important is to check whether the "two box cars full of spy equipment" is true or a lie. 

And the next problem is some of the Chinese press.  How can they not know the meaning of the word "it" here ?  if the meaning is only the balloon, then the problem about the spy equipment would be neglected. 

The above is  a serious matter. 

Next is  funny. 

When MR. Biden said: "When I shot down that balloon....."

Why did he use the word "I"? 

Does it mean he is not a robot ?  

Does it mean there is no secret power behind a puppet president?

..

How would you steer a big ship like the United States?

 

There must be really smart people steering this big ship. Without them,  United States must have been sunk already.

It is a country heading for nowhere. To seek happiness etc. are not objectives. 

Happiness cannot be sought. Happiness will arrive only when you have done something successful. 

The point is, what are you going to do? 

Steering the big ship like the United States is just like this.  You can only steer onwards. And then you see there's a big rock, and being  a smart person you know how to avoid obstacles and turn around.

Yes, they must be really smart to know how to turn around.  They would turn around very quickly.   They would turn around very skillfully,  playing all kinds of  tricks. They can steer smoothly without noice. 

Yet the problem remains.

You cannot be always turning around.  You can never get what you really wanted.

May be you need a goal, though it sound silly. You wise people never talk like that.

But still. you got to know the answer.

Where are you going?

You might not have enough time.

Sooner or later, you will pass the big ship to another one  who might or might not be as wise as you are.

Maybe you need to leave them a map.

And you're sure to notice that the map is in god's hand, not in your hand. 

What will you say to your children?

What will you give them to observe?

The only thing you can leave for them is your wisdom.  You know how to turn around. And you are honest. You do not know where to go.

Your smart children will learn everything from your wisdom.  This is the only thing you can be sure about.

I admire your wisdom.  No one could have been doing better than you.

We do not know the final objectives of the Heaven.  We can only have a general  idea about them that we are growing and going towards a good place and survive all difficulties and will not be ruined.......to be ruined is an old Western concept before Christ. 

And the shadow is always in your mind. Its the reason for your choice.  You are always expecting the worse.

Chinese people have never been thinking like that.

Basics about life

 9256xx   What is philosophy ？

(Basics about life)

Point 1:   We Are Souls

Philosophy meant what shall we do.  Without philosophy, we will be going back to animal state. No one can survive as human being if he doesn't know what to do.

And the problem is easy once we are sure that we are souls more than bodies.  

And we are more than individual souls.   We are one in a certain sense.

It must be a conviction, from the very young to the aged, that they must firmly believe that they are souls, and bodies are but the tools of the soul. Tools are your helpers, you need not to work for them, you need to keep your tools to work for you.

Just like any other animal on the planet, we need to survive. To survive we need knowledge and wisdom, which are parts of our soul. We can always survive better with a soul. We need to fight for survival like any other living creature on the planet, yet there is a higher aim of life. To survive like an animal is not enough for us. No one is willing to live like an eating and mating pig.

Eating and mating is common goal for animals. They would stop at that point. They may or may not have developed a soul.  We as a human being have more.

Why is it so important to stay in a conviction that we are souls?  Too many failed in the material world. If people are only working for a material body, they can never see the beauty of the truth, and they will be the negative force of human progress. Money oriented philosophy are the chief obstruction to world peace. They are trading everything for money, they are the causes of war. They are liars. They had never admitted their killing since the Opium War, until today.

Point 2:  To Seek and To Love

What is our final goal as human being?

It is one of the most important question for human.

We cannot answer that very question unless we are out of our present situation. It is like a fish will not know she is a fish until one day she come to live in the air and realized that she was a fish. We are the same.

One thing is for sure that if we keep seeking the true, the good and the beautiful, we will possibly find our final goal behind them. And that is a big project that we need to do it together, and that spells love.

Where does our love come from?

Love emerges in battle fields when people are fighting together for a noble aim. When we have love, we will find true and good things, and we would enjoy them as they are beautiful. Our goal will be waiting for us behind the true, the good and the beautiful.

Who else would like to seek for the fake, the bad, and the ugly? Those are people working as a slave to their bodies. Those are people who believe in capital and they would keep themselves in a bitter fight for money and luxuries and finally they will lose all happiness. Money is useful tool, but it needs not to be a slave of it.

Love is a product of fighting together. 

Point 3:  Be A Real Soul

If for everything you have the conviction that you are a soul, then be a real soul.

If you are a religious person, be a real religious person. If you are an artist, be a real artist. Be a real one instead of a fake one. Be a real scientist and you will not deny your wisdom, be a real politician and you will not lie to your people, be a real business man and you will find real success.

This is conviction upon conviction. If you have the conviction that you are a soul not a corruptible body, then you will build up another conviction that you are real. This is the answer for almost all human problems. Any time if you have found you were cheating, that meant you had succumbed to the unreal bodies. Losing conviction is the reason for fear. A real soul is fearless, nothing can harm a real soul. A real soul is free. People with a conviction of their free soul create wisdom.  

Point 4:  Enjoy Life

Life is enjoyable, yet foolish people did not know this. Everything in life is enjoyable, from a breath of air to the early sunshine, any moment is memorable, if you can recall them. A glass of plain water is enjoyable, yet people are not satisfied and need a silver cup to drink and a gold toilet to flush.  Many wise people had taught us before. A gold coffin cannot put people at rest while Mozart one of the most beautiful human can only have a burial in nowhere.  A real soul needs not a gold coffin, only rotten bodies need them.

Our souls are real, the bodies are not. They are corruptible and cannot last. Only a real soul can last.

You can enjoy life with a soul. 

One important task for education is to teach children how to enjoy life. There is a beauty in everything of our life. Work is enjoyable, dream is enjoyable. Many things are enjoyable. Stupid people do not know this, they are soulless and they cannot find beauty in daily life, they can only find satisfaction in money, without knowing that ugly things can only give them fake satisfaction.

Material oriented philosophy is the source of foolishness. Yet we need them, pity them and love them. They were our yesterday. If all people are wise, then the world will be too balanced to survive.

Point 5:  To Serve and to Fight

To Serve is the most important concept about human. We must consider everything as a whole and not an individual, then we will know why we need to serve. If you are to serve the people, you must know the real reason of it. One is not only part of a whole but it is the whole. One drop of water is water. To serve is the best way of life.

We need not only to serve the people, but to fight for the people.

The world is never balanced. Negative power wants to ruin the future of our life. Without a concept to fight for the well being of the people is dangerous. All souls want peace, but the peace must be maintained in huge effort. Peace is a working goal for mankind, not a waiting goal.

The concept of fighting is extremely important. If one is not to fight for the people, then one is not to serve the people. Those are people who wants to be served.    

We are real souls.

Real souls seek the true, the good and the beautiful with love. Love emerges from fighting together. They wanted to serve the people and fight for the people. They know how to enjoy life.

A real soul is the source of wisdom.

They might possibly reach the other shore.

Point 6: We are free

This is the major teaching of Zhuang Zi.   I am from the creator,  and I have a free will.

(非彼無我, 非我無所取)

There is a plan from the creator,  And we are free to take it or not to take it.  Free will is part of the plan. we don't know what is the plan. We can only have a general idea about this plan, we are free to accept or refuse the plan.

What is the general  idea about this plan?  It is growing.  It is heading towards the true, the good and the  beautiful.

Point 7:  The unknown of life

a.   Who light up my life?  or where is my life energy from?

There was a story about two sisters. When the doctor help deliver the elder baby from her mother's womb,  the elder baby was dead.  The doctor put aside the dead baby and continue to help deliver the second baby from her mother's womb.   The second baby cried loudly,  and suddenly the dead baby cried.  It seemed the dead baby was lit up also.  The dead baby gained life in that moment.

Who gave us the life force?  And we must be honest to tell each other,  that it is unknown. 

What we can be certain is that  that there is a source of the life force.

b.   Where are we going after life?   If  life is a soul,  then where would the soul be going after the death of the physical body?   And we must be honest to tell each other that this is a question we do not know.

And the next thing we can be certain is that when people are fully engaged in their life,  this is not a concern for them.  They don't care.  There are many of them in history all over the world.

( Ideas from an old article in May, 2020)

 a note  from the writer:

To fight means 戰鬥 or 奮鬥 or both.

..

What is the difference of Zhuangzi and Sunzi's Art of War?

 

Will it be too late to study them?

Because it is already in the war field sometimes. There is nowhere to go with a little knife in hand.

It is  better too hide up in the hills  to think and to study.

 Zhuangzi and Sunzi are in different levels to prepare war.

Sunzi is in a practical view,  and  Zhuangzi is looking at the Shi level more. Both of the levels are not to be neglected. 

It needs to note that both levels are important. 

Why the war will be started?

It is because one side is sure to win.   There will be no war if both are not sure to win.

And this is the most difficult part.  

Most of the war heroes could see one level only.  They thought they were sure to win from their practical view.

They cannot see the things from a higher level.  The Japanese had been strong in calculating their war stocks.  They cannot see it from the higher level.  And I am regret to say  that  they are the same after so many years.

I hope the Americans will see things higher than the Japanese.

To retreat a little to prepare another major attack ? 

It is so funny to see it from a higher angle.

Poems about eunuchs by 白居易， 李察

 Poems about eunuchs by

                          白居易，  李察  

以下是白居易「秦中吟」中的一首「輕肥」。

甚麼是「輕」？ 就是最名貴的衣料，而「肥」，是肚滿腸肥。是描寫唐代宦官的。

 意氣驕滿路，鞍馬光照塵。借問何為者，人稱是內臣。 朱紱皆大夫，紫綬悉將軍。誇赴軍中宴，走馬去如雲。 樽罍溢九醞，水陸羅八珍，果擘洞庭橘，膾切天池鱗。 食飽心自若，酒酣氣益振。是歲江南旱，衢州人食人。

 (啊，看他們來了。滿路都是毫氣干雲，鞍馬的車頭燈，揚起了地上的灰塵。他們是何種樣人呢？啊，原來都是太監內臣。他們身上的名牌就夠看的了。朱紱和紫綬，都是身份象徵。原來他們要來軍中宴會了。 來來去去的奔馳、寶馬，像流水行雲。每一樽都是ｘ ｏ，上碟都是奇珍。最名貴的洞庭橘，最美味的海上鮮。吃飽了心滿意足，喝醉了氣焰囂張。唉，這是江南旱災的一年呢。衢州都在人吃人了。)

李察補筆:

太監尚未死

氣熖逼入雲

豪華奢侈處

屈辱換嬌嗔

江山代代改

舊痛緩緩燒

金剛睜怒目

整頓看今朝

A History 田成子

 

果然田成子，一旦杀齐君”出自唐朝诗人李白的作品《古风·战国何纷纷》,其古诗全文如下：

　　战国何纷纷，兵戈乱浮云。

　　赵倚两虎斗，晋为六卿分。

　　奸臣欲窃位，树党自相群。

　　果然田成子，一旦杀齐君。

　　【注释】

　　⑷树党：建立私党。

　　⑸“果然”二句：田成子名常。其先人陈完，陈厉公之子。厉公死后，陈完惧诛，于齐桓公十四年奔齐，改姓田。历数世，至田常父田乞起，五世相齐。田常继相杀齐简公，至田常曾孙田和，代齐康公立为齐侯。事见《史记·田敬仲完世家》。

　　【翻译】

　　战国时局势是何等纷乱，兵戈扰扰，乱如浮云。赵国所倚仗的大巨廉颇和蔺相如二人如两虎相斗，晋国终为六家大臣所瓜分。奸臣们拉党结派，欲纂君位，跃跃欲试。后来田成子果然弑杀了齐国的国君，篡夺了王位。

　　【赏析】

　　诗的后四句为另一层，借咏春秋史事，深一层影射唐朝安史乱前至乱发的社会现实，进一步形象地揭示了：当国之君不能及时消除奸臣谋权窃位，结党营私的隐患，终于招致了国破身亡的灭顶之灾。

　　据《春秋》、《左传》等史书的记载，春秋时期各诸侯国内部奸臣谋权窃位，结党营私的史例不一而足www.slkj.org。“奸臣欲窃位，树党自相群”两句，正是对这一社会状况的总体概括。“窃位”，窃取权位。“树党”，培植党羽。“自相群”，各自拉帮结派。两句意思是说：奸臣们为了谋权窃位，正纷纷培植党羽，拉帮结派。因为这种现象是当时各诸侯国普遍存在的，所以这里不作特称式的引述，而只作不定指的泛泛描写。当然，这样写归根结底也还是针对了唐朝安史乱前的社会现实的。史载，当时玄宗“渐肆奢欲，怠于政事”（见《资治通鉴》卷二百四十），而将“朝事付之宰相，边事付之诸将”（见《资治通鉴》卷二百十七）。正是在他的纵容下，一方面宰相（如李林甫、杨国忠）专权跋扈，任用亲信，结党营私；一方面边将（如安禄山之流）拥兵自重，扩充实力，割据一方，结果把个好端端的大唐帝国搞得乌烟瘴气，岌岌可危。这两句诗，就是对这一社会状况的形象写照

What is eunuch culture?

Eunuch culture was non-written and non-spoken in the long run of Chinese history.

Only a few poems have been written about them.

Scholars will not talk about them, though they were playing an  important role in Chinese history.

Confucius had never mentioned about eunuchs.   The hidden meaning in Confucianism was to allow or even encourage their role in politics.

Confucianism is the external shell,  the real inner core is eunuch culture.

In the old sense of the Chinese culture,  the only hope is in the sons.    Everyone  must have offsprings to keep their family  existence.  

To cut away the testicles is to cut away future.  To have no future is to have no hope in the sense of the old Chinese culture.

Eunuchs were a group of people who have no hope.

They could only grab money for vanity and enjoy their pleasure in eating.

There was no principle and no value in there mind.

And it was exactly this kind of people who were absolutely trusted by feudal rulers.

Why don't they trust people with real love and true unstanding of politics like Qu Yuan or Yue Fei?

And you will say,  I would rather trust a dog than these people.

But the rulers did not think the same.

And it was the inner complex of powerful rulers.

I can only think of one reason for them.

They would rather trust people with no values.

And it was because they themselves did not have any values too.

Eunuchs could not think properly.

Because they were psychologically biased.

They could never balance themselves.

It is the fatal point of Confucianism. To maintain the order in the families is the main concern of Confucianism,  yet they trust eunuchs.  They have given their brain to the eunuchs.

There are no physical eunuchs now.  But the tradition of eunuch culture cannot be denied.

They are still in the blood of quite a few people.

They will trust nothing except money.

All evils go into the same end.  Selfishness is the worst part of human nature. 

note

It is very difficult to see who is eunuch and who is not in our age.

They don't carry a mark like before.

It is in their inner value only.

And they will keep it as an utmost secret.

They have secret connections. 

..

Why all external ammunitions must be stopped sending to Ukraine?

 

It is because we do not want to see the elimination of the great Russian civilization on this planet.

We want to keep the names and their works on this planet.

For example, music: 

Borodin, Prokofiv, Mussorgsky, Stravinsky,  Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Rimsky-Korsakov....and,  how can you forget about Rachmaninov?

Those are not only great names but great souls.  I cannot sleep without them.

And about souls,  You will remember Nikolai Gogol.  He has written a book: Dead Souls. 

And the other names are Alexander Pushkin, Ivan Turgenev, Fyodo Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, Nikolay Ostrovsky, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and more. 

How can any other nations to have such great names in literature?

I wondered that they are all childrens of Peter the great.  Without the efforts of  Peter the great,  Russia will not be modernized. 

I don't know how other people thought about them.

But from the point of a Chinese, it is not easy.

Because the Chinese do not have such great volumes of literature and music.

If you have had also a lucky period of time to read, these are great authors you cannot have missed. 

It seems that the Chinese had changed. Chinese people do not like reading like their Russian counterparts. They prefer mobiles. 

They have one greatest book, The dream of the red chamber. Yet nobody is really care about this book. The fate of this book is mostly neglected.  The book have been carrying a wrong name for a long time. Chinese people  do not know the hidden message in this book.  I have mentioned many times about this. They were all neglected.

Chinese have Confucianism on the external shell, and Eunuch Culture in the inner core, which is an unwritten spirit of most of the dark elements in the Chinese mind. 

Those are the sources of the secret party which will be ruling after Xi.

There are still eunuchs everywhere in different levels, local or central,  inside and outside the Chinese country today.

 

Eunuch culture have been lasting for thousands and thousands of years.  It is still in the blood of some Chinese people. There will never be so straightforward as the Russians. They are always yang feng yin wei.

United States people have believed that they can still control the secret party if once they were engaged in top positions.  But they are too naive to believe this. Once the secret party have grapped power,  no one can harness them. United States people will only be subordinates of the secret party of China in the unlucky future. 

And this is the real value of  Russian civilization. There are always a good reminder to us.  They have no Eunuch Culture and they have no Confucianism. If the Russians are defeated, China will lose one arm,  one good friend and a good teacher.

External ammunition and military engagements must be stopped.

Do not try to eliminate the Russian spirit. It will be harmful for all.

Do not try this.

It will be wrong for the United States mind to keep the war going on. The war must be stopped.

External  amunitions are hostile actions  against  China.

It must be stopped.

The Internal

 ~ The most important issue today

Wars are not important for the whole world.   It is important for only a few countries.  Wars cannot determine the future of the world.  Wars can determine only some fate of a few countries.  

Secret politics are not important too.   Although secret politics is the major trend of the whole world now. 

The so-called elected leaders  are controlled by secret powers. 

 They need not to think,  and they need not to work.   The most important job for them is to obey.  The secret powers can control more than one country.   They can control another country and other leaders too.  It happens in the West all the time.  

As for China,  she is the same under secret control of the secret powers,  though the format is very different from the West. 

They have secret parties inside the party.   They have secret networks around the whole country.  They will take orders,  but carry out the orders in their own way. They will push the country to another direction. 

For example, the secret network in Hong Kong is pushing hard  for the young and older generation.  The network is super strong.  The undercurren controls all but you cannot see anything from the surface.  Hong Kong is following the direction of South Korea.  A trend of South-Korean culture is inside the Hong Kong youths already. 

The secret network is around  other cities and provinces in China too.

Yet secret politics is not important.

What is the most important issue in the world now?

Let's get back to the old days of Karl Marx.

He had discovered  problems in external structures of  economies and politics.  He  had studied  unfair situations in all countries.  He had discovered the difference of the rich and the poor.

The world has changed since.  It was because external phenomenon are easy to be seen.

More important issue was discovered by Mao Zedong.

He did not mention about internal structure.  But he has said about external and internal causes.  He said internal is the ultimate cause for every thing.(內因是決定一切的).

Left-brainers can never understand the right-brain.  Colour-blinded dogs never understand about color.  Internal issue is really difficult to understand for most of the people.    Dogs will laugh at you because you can't smell out the bomb hidden in your house.  You are lacking the ability.

Many people do not know the difference of communism or  capitalism.  It seems to be different in their external structures only.  It is simple and easy to be seen from the surface.

People can hardly understand that the external structures  are only results of their internal force.  Humans are no better than a dog if they cannot feel it from inside.

And it is not easy to give a definition of the internal.  It can only be related or understood by  inner feeling.   Many people are not talents, but they do have a feeling to reach the core.

They would search for the internal cause of external behaviors.

They would try to modify the external structures of the society from an internal view.

What is internal?

What I can say is that it is not a spirit,  nor love, nor religious feeling.

You can have the feelings of love,  yet you may not be really inside the  internal feelings.

Sometimes if you can dig deeper into History and  Civilizations,  you can see better where the trends are.   Yet you might not be awared that a secret trap is in front of you or a conspiracy is  carrying on.

You need to have a very clear mind.  

You need to have a hole in your mind,  like the third eye.

Your eye is penetrating,  and you can see through everything.

It is not difficult at all.

It is simple and easy for the selfless people.

Once you have the feeling of selflessness,  you will be fearless. You will worry about nothing and  reach the insight directly.

If you are selfish,  it is absolute difficulty.

And we are not talking about religion and magic.  We are talking about the future of human kind.  In the future, everyone will be selfless. Everyone will have that inner feeling.

Important is for the few talented leaders now. They need to teach other people about internal things.

It is more difficult than the job of Jesus or Buddha.

Because Love and Vanity is not the same as internal feeling.

They are similar, but not the same.

If someone beats you with a stick, how would you fight back?

 If someone beats you with a stick, how would you fight back?

Will you hit the stick  to revenge?

It is  from the teaching of a book of Judaism.

Will you hit the stick or the owner of the stick to fight back?

Now they are sending a warship to beat you.

Will you hit the warship in return?

Or will you hit the owner of the warship in return?

If your enemy dare to touch your baby.

Will you shoot at the enemy's head or the baby?

?

that is 

do it to the point.

It is from Judaism,  not Confucianism.

Why "The unending grief" is helpful for film directors?

 

九重城闕煙塵生。

千乘萬騎西南行。

翠華搖搖行復止。。。。

The film directors must be excited in seeing these lines.

That was the starting of the war.

How should I prepare thousands of horses and soldiers going south western areas?

What's the cost in filming such a scene?

And.....Suppose the cost is unlimited,  what remains is only  imagination.

Amid the soldiers and horses, there was a colorful  carriage  covered with green linens and  decorations.   It was the queen's carriage. It was slowly and  slightly shaking,  rolling and  stopping.

It envisaged the next scene.

What happened next?

Next is the death scene of the beauty.

翠翹金雀玉搔頭，花鈿委地無人收。

君臣掩面救不得，回看血淚相和流。

The scene is omitted.   Yet they are looking back to see it.

But the job for the film directors are not finished yet.

Yes, it needs some music.  It is absolutely a must here.

What kind of music can go with such a scene?

That's why film directors must be music lovers.

Yet it is a poem, not a song. The song is not yet composed.  The music is in your mind. It is not created.

That must be a great job for a great film director.

And you need to wait for an unlimited time.

You just wait.

An Unending Grief of China

  

The grief had been lasting for a long time then people said it is the longest grief in China.

I love the poem since I was in my early teens.  Yet, I cannot understand the poem until a recent discovery.

It was in the night when my grandmother died and we had to move away from the old house because we could not pay the rent.

My brother and I had rented a small room far away in the suburbs.

We carried only a few things from the old house.  One was a large old clock.

I could not sleep that night,  and then I heard the strike of the clock once every hour.

Suddenly the line from the unending grief sprang into my mind.

遲遲鐘鼓初長夜。耿耿星河欲曙天。

I had my first unending night when the stars were burning the light and the hour was late with the clock striking.

It was only a simple love story.

The king was  crazily  in love for a woman,   and for political reasons,  he had to execute the woman.  And then he went for a war.

 When he came back from the war,  everything was the same as before, except people was getting old.  Yet his love had not been subsided.

椒房阿監青娥老

The eunuchs in the winter room with walls heavily covered with chili paste to keep warm were old, like the aged maids.

He was still accompanied by  eunuchs after the war.

What's it all about?  How come the poet can master Chinese  language so perfectly?  It was so beautiful that everyone cannot forget?

I was sitting in a park in Hong Kong island.  Some one turned on his radio,  I heard this poem again. 

My feeling of grief was suddenly aroused.

I cannot explain this feeling.

歸來池苑皆依舊。太液芙蓉未央柳。

When the king came back to his old palace,   the garden was same as before.  The trees and flowers had not changed.

What's the difference?

Why the emotion cannot be settled?

Everything was the same. Yet the beauty was gone.

It seems to be a lightning flashed into my mind.  

It's not a love story.  It must not be a love story.

It is the story of human emotions.

What the  king had been  searching was not a lady,   but the beauty itself.

He was not allowed to search for the beauty for political reasons,  he have to kill the beauty with his own hand.

Yet when he came back,  He tried  furiously to search for the beauty again.

But the beauty was gone forever.

note

Sorry I have to interrupt a little here:

In the emotions of the Chinese literature,  beauty is same with truth.  beauty is  together  with truth.   What the king had been searching were more than a single beauty.  It must be a complex feeling about everything.

her name is 太真

it means "the highest truth"

長恨歌

唐朝白居易

漢皇重色思傾國，御宇多年求不得。楊家有女初長成，養在深閨人未識。
天生麗質難自棄，一朝選在君王側。回眸一笑百媚生，六宮粉黛無顏色。
春寒賜浴華清池，溫泉水滑洗凝脂。侍兒扶起嬌無力，始是新承恩澤時。
雲鬢花顏金步搖，芙蓉帳暖度春宵。春宵苦短日高起，從此君王不早朝。
承歡侍宴無閒暇，春從春遊夜專夜。後宮佳麗三千人，三千寵愛在一身。
金屋妝成嬌侍夜，玉樓宴罷醉和春。姊妹弟兄皆列土，可憐光彩生門戶。
遂令天下父母心，不重生男重生女。驪宮高處入青雲，仙樂風飄處處聞。
緩歌慢舞凝絲竹，盡日君王看不足。漁陽鼙鼓動地來，驚破霓裳羽衣曲。
九重城闕煙塵生，千乘萬騎西南行。翠華搖搖行復止，西出都門百餘里。
六軍不發無奈何，宛轉蛾眉馬前死。花鈿委地無人收，翠翹金雀玉搔頭。
君王掩面救不得，回看血淚相和流。黃埃散漫風蕭索，雲棧縈紆登劍閣。
峨嵋山下少人行，旌旗無光日色薄。蜀江水碧蜀山青，聖主朝朝暮暮情。
行宮見月傷心色，夜雨聞鈴腸斷聲。天旋地轉回龍馭，到此躊躇不能去。
馬嵬坡下泥土中，不見玉顏空死處。君臣相顧盡沾衣，東望都門信馬歸。
歸來池苑皆依舊，太液芙蓉未央柳。芙蓉如面柳如眉，對此如何不淚垂。
春風桃李花開日，秋雨梧桐葉落時。西宮南內多秋草，落葉滿階紅不掃。(花開日 一作：花開夜；南內 一作：南苑)
梨園弟子白髮新，椒房阿監青娥老。夕殿螢飛思悄然，孤燈挑盡未成眠。
遲遲鐘鼓初長夜，耿耿星河欲曙天。鴛鴦瓦冷霜華重，翡翠衾寒誰與共。
悠悠生死別經年，魂魄不曾來入夢。臨邛道士鴻都客，能以精誠致魂魄。
爲感君王輾轉思，遂教方士殷勤覓。排空馭氣奔如電，昇天入地求之遍。
上窮碧落下黃泉，兩處茫茫皆不見。忽聞海上有仙山，山在虛無縹渺間。
樓閣玲瓏五雲起，其中綽約多仙子。中有一人字太真，雪膚花貌參差是。
金闕西廂叩玉扃，轉教小玉報雙成。聞道漢家天子使，九華帳裏夢魂驚。
攬衣推枕起徘徊，珠箔銀屏迤邐開。雲鬢半偏新睡覺，花冠不整下堂來。
風吹仙袂飄飄舉，猶似霓裳羽衣舞。玉容寂寞淚闌干，梨花一枝春帶雨。(闌 通：欄；飄飄 一作：飄颻)
含情凝睇謝君王，一別音容兩渺茫。昭陽殿裏恩愛絕，蓬萊宮中日月長。
回頭下望人寰處，不見長安見塵霧。惟將舊物表深情，鈿合金釵寄將去。
釵留一股合一扇，釵擘黃金合分鈿。但教心似金鈿堅，天上人間會相見。
臨別殷勤重寄詞，詞中有誓兩心知。七月七日長生殿，夜半無人私語時。
在天願作比翼鳥，在地願爲連理枝。天長地久有時盡，此恨綿綿無絕期。

Yes its cold description and its  more than cinema magic.  Every line is a picture., yet it is not a picture.  It seems to be a song,  Yet it is not a song. It is only a line. A line to fix into your mind. You have to read it many times.  You have to read it many years. AND THEN if you're lucky, you can see the author. You can see the poet. The poet is hiding himself behind the lines. He is a genius. He can foresee things happen in thousands of years. It is only a dance. It turns in slow movement.  With music and costume in feathered silk.  And it never satisfies the king. The king wanted to see it once and once again. Yet they are separated. They are separated in two places. They are separated in heaven and in earth. And the poet told you. You will see each other again.天上人間會相見 Isn't him a poet? Maybe no. He is more than a poet.

And that is the reason for the Chinese to study Chinese. It only exists in the Chinese language. It cannot be translated.

You'll be inspired.

Can a firefly burn the Mount Sumeru?

 

"如取熒火，燒須彌山。終不能著。"

It was said that a firefly can never burn the Mount Sumero.

And it was believed that the Mount Sumero  is so big that it is  unconquerable.

If people believed that they will never be successful, then they will not accomplish anything.

If there is a light in your mind, that you want to light up something, just do it.

It might not be the Mount Sumero, it mignt be our tomorrow.

LIGHT  UP  TOMORROW🌹

An Old Song

This is an old song ten years ago.

What had happened after this whole long years?

Important is in the next ten, or if we are lucky, next twenty years..............

All the best with you.

Why the Ukraine war should be stopped now?

 

It is a good timing to stop the war now. It needs no other effort but to stop all external amunitions.  The war will be stopped by itself.

The reason is simple.

One.  Not to create a determination in China for their further actions.  It's vital not to create such a  determination. Everybody will gain time. No one will know what will happen 20 years later.  You can count. You can calculate. And you can imagine. Once that determination is aroused, nobody could be relaxed.

Do not create a determination.

Two.  It's time to create  stimulation for the stock markets.   When everybody is happy,  the market will be happy too.

Three.  There is enough gain for the military economy already.  Earning too much would create  negative result.

Four.   This is a way going  nowhere.  If  things were allowed to develop without holding back,  all will have to face the dead end sooner.

That's all.

..

How beautiful is the Chinese language?

 

If you are a Chinese and if you are using your own language every day,  it's not easy for you to discover the beauty of the Chinese language.

You need to be proud of your culture.   You need to know how the Chinese use the language to help their right-brain to think.  And you will find it extremely happy just because the right-brain language can help to reach your goal faster than everyone else.  And it is  more than effective.  It is beautiful.

How beautiful is my language?

I have discovered a song:  "Jiào wǒ rúhé bùxiǎng tā"  (Teach me how not to miss him)  Which is a song composed by  Zhào Yuán Rèn  according to a poem written by the poet  Liú Bàn Nóng,  sung by a young tenor Shí Yǐ Jié.

Shi was singing so well that I had been  listening it hundreds of times.

And I wish to learn to sing it and  to my utmost  surprise  I have discovered  not only  the beauty of the song but also the beauty of the Chinese language when  I had started learning.

Shi Yi Jie is a perfect singer  who could use his artistic emotion  to bring out the beauty of the melody  in his voice and the beauty of the Chinese language in that song.

I have read the poem long ago. 

I feel sorry that I could not find the beauty in the poem when I was young.   It was until the Professor of Phonetics Zhào Yuán Rèn  wrote the song that the beauty had become so clear that one could not have miss it and will be hypnotized once he was floating on the currents of the unending beauty.

Yes, you need to have a professor of phonetics to discover the beauty in the sounds of the Chinese language.  And I doubt not all professors can use  music to bring up the linguistic beauty for you. 

And I do not think learners like me can sing as well as Shi Yi Jie. 

It is a song you cannot miss.

It is a pride about your language you can not miss.

You will feel happy using this language everywhere.  No matter you are on a plane or you're  in one of the many coffee shops run by American people in China. 

And it is sure they will find the beauty in your language, as the coffee shops have so many monitors pointing at you. 

..

How am I to pay to live with a tiger?

 

Paying is a low level description of a high level effort.

To pay means to put in energy. If you are to put in energy, you have to think how much is enough. And it could be a very high cost.  Because many of the times you need to put your life for it.

We are using our life to exchange all things in the whole world.

Some used their lives to exchange for wine and sex.  All the difference is that they didn't know they are using their lives to exchange for it.

How am I to survive to live with a tiger?

And it's only the first stage of the problem.

Humans need more than survival.

However, very few of the humans like to think.  If they have five minutes,  they feel uncomfortable.  They would turn to their mobile and let the mobile to think for them.

Some people have already given up mobile, that's fine.  But seldom do people can give up their meetings. 

They use meetings to think.

Can a meeting replace my thought?

Yes.

Some other people are thinking for me.  And that is free.

Why is it free?

....

This is the starting point for a serious thinking.

But the more serious question is that it needs more than thinking.

Every country needs to think.

And that is the most urgent matter for the whole world.

How am I to fight with the tiger if I am so poor?  As I have no resources for my country?

Can I avoid being eaten by the tiger?

Yes, I need to think.

Yes, I need to use my effort to think.

I am willing to use up all efforts for this job.

And the answer is in your pocket already.

"Ask, and you will be given", thus said a genius whose name is Jesus.

..

Can you live with a tiger in the same cage?

 

The question is real.  This is the real situation of human beings today.   Can you live with a tiger in the same cage?

The earth is a small place,  it is just like a cage.   You can get  nowhere outside this cage.  There is no escape besides this earth. 

The question is you have to live with the tiger in the same cage.

The only hope is that you are a human.  You are a wise human. You have a knowledge. You have a wisdom. You know how to do it. And you're sure that this tiger is an endangered species. Maybe this is the most difficult part. You don't want to kill this tiger. You need to keep this tiger. And you are to live with it.

This is a heavy burden for those who are forced to live  with the tiger  in the same cage.

Yes, it is a burden or a fate to keep in mind.   

For the optimistic people,  they will think this is a good chance to learn something.   Because this is the most urgent need for human beings.

Yet our question is not resolved.

Isn't it true that we are living with a tiger?

What will the tiger think of us?

The tiger is always happy. There is plenty of food for him. He is a blood-sucker.  And he belives that he is much wiser than you humans.  He thought you are all  Confucian fools,    it's  easy for him.

But this is not a story.  This is not a fable.  This is a difficult political situation for human beings.

The tiger is a war machine.  The tiger is  an arms producer.  They make arms  and sell arms to earn a living.   The most urgent need for them is war.  And this is the nature of a tiger. If the humans need to solve the problem, they have to know this nature.

Can you live with a tiger in the same cage?

The answer is yes.

And this is the only answer you can produce.  You cannot say no. It is your fate.

The next question is how.

How am I to live with a tiger in the same cage?

You need to pay for this question.  It is not free.

(wait for details tomorrow)

Can United States deny their plot to weaken China?

 

There is an obvious plot to weaken or destroy China like the  Soviet Union of Russia.

HOWEVER,  Chinese people are not the same.

 This is a country of  real peace and real love.  

They have learned  the way to do business,   and they are rich.

Human has been evolving into a new stage.  Humans are evolving from individuals to a  whole being.  

 They know how to love each other.

 They know  how should a true human being live.   They are not living like animals, killing each other every day.  They are living  more like  human now.

This is exactly the point that frightens the  secret rulers in the United States.

They will not admit there will be a war in Taiwan with China,  and they will not admit this is the next step following the Ukraine War.

But  the American plot is so obvious,  they cannot hide it from the eyes of the world.

There is a plot.  There will be wars.   They are war animals.  They need wars to maintain their power,  and to keep their military economy running.

 It's the only way to survive for animals.

Can the United States rulers use a small bottle of washing powder to cheat the world again?

Rock music and Confucianism from South Korean Melodrama  are much better than a washing powder........

note:

South korean melodrama is famous for its fearful, withdrawal and passive Confucianism. 

(韓劇以怕事、退縮和消極被動的儒学著稱。）

..

Why there is only one war between the United States and China?

 

There is only one war.

Ukraine War and Taiwan War is one war, not two wars.

If the Ukrainian issue is finished as the American had planned, then the second war will be immediately started somewhere, though it is not necessarily happened in the Taiwan strait.  It could be anywhere,  but it is still a Taiwan War.  (not Taiwan strait war)

If you dare to touch my baby,  I'll shoot your head.  The head needs not be in the Taiwan strait.

The United States will not win the Ukrainian war. External  ammunition to  Ukraine will be stopped.  It might take some time. But  it is sure the United States will not win the Ukrainian War.

The war will not be finished to the expectation of the United States.

HOWEVER, the plan is to have a second war field.  As soon as the Ukrainian issue is finished,  when the Russians are completely isolated or defeated, Taiwan war will be the next button for United States.

No matter who is shooting the first shot,  the  Taiwan War will be started in the United States  schedule. 

There will not be a Taiwan War if the United States is defeated  in the Ukrainian War. Or at least they need some time to breath  before they dare to start the next risk.

Important is that the Ukrainian War should not be left unattended.   It is a fore-runner of the Taiwan War.

The United States had been dreaming that the Chinese will not know this schedule.  But this is a simple matter. It is obvious.

What if  Russia is defeated?

 It is a bad dream. It is a nightmare.  But it is not going to happen.

There is other option for the United States now,  if the situation is known:

There will not be any gain as wished.   

Do not push it to the limit. You might have more option to try something new.

..

Where can the South Koreans go?

 

 

 What is the future of South Korea?

The future of South Korea has already been decided.  During the reign of King Sejong the Great five hundred years ago, the fate of Korea had been fixed.

 South Korea's corruption problem has never been solved since World War II.  Almost every government has been corrupted.

 Recently, the BBC quoted Western scholars as saying that this is because South Korea advocates Confucianism, and the Confucian spirit pays attention to repaying favors. If you receive favors, you have to repay them.

It is not necessarily true.

 The most important aspect of the Confucian spirit is to construct society into a small family circle.  Man is not an individual, but a man in a relationship.  It's all about relationships.

 Not all people in politics are greedy, but they must live in relationships.  There are bosses and authorities on the top, and there are a lot of sons, daughter-in-laws and children on the bottom.  To act as a human being, you have to take care of everything.  At the places where they are inserted are all blood-related-relatives.  And that is the only governing  wisdom one have to obey.

 It is not only cause of corruption, but also makes people look only at the near front and cannot see around with a fair heart.

  In a narrow-minded mind, there will naturally be timid and afraid of getting into trouble, afraid of offending others, a passive tolerance approach is the best choice. It is the fatal result of Confucianism. Everone is hoping to get rich by chance.  It is the opposite expansion of inferiority complex. If someone disrespects him a little, he will get mad quickly.

 Confucianism in South Korea is even worse than that in Mainland or Taiwan. It can be regarded as more pure Confucianism in South Korea. While Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan are mixed with a lot of other factors, and Confucianism may not have such purity there.  The common people in South Korea are polite and righteous, and there are very few street crimes.  The only problem is that the popular culture has mixed with the pornographic culture in recent years. Young people likes external beauty. Men are slender and weak, while women have red lips, white faces and dyed hair. The spirit of exploration and truth pursuit is very rare in popular culture.

 The direction of Korea today was determined by King Sejong the Great 500 years ago.   To day, Koreans still like him very much.

 King Sejong the Great is a master of philology.  He promulgated the Hangeul alphabet, which replaced Chinese characters.   This was a normal political behavior, and it was completely reasonable for him  to distance himself from China's influence.

 But he never imagined that the use of phonetic characters in this way would change a visual-based text into an auditory-based one.  The format in using the brain  cancels the original right-brain tendency and turns it into a simple digital left-brain function.  The ability of comprehensive thinking and creative thinking are also reduced. 

 In this regard, Korean has gone further than Japanese.  Japanese had also restored letters to Chinese characters, or mix Chinese characters and letters.  But Korean was completed in all alphabets.  Ordinary people cannot find out what the original square characters are.

 The Japanese have the same textual orientation as the Koreans, but the philosophical orientation is opposite.  South Korea appreciates Confucianism's tolerance and obedience to authority very much, but the Japanese are disgusted with the spirit of corrupted Confucianism and replace it with the spirit of the Samurai.  So the Japanese had fallen into another path and they would look down on the Koreans.

Fate of the Korean people was determined five hundred years ago.

 On the one hand, the sharp weapon of right brain thinking is cancelled, and on the other hand, there are too many thoughts of humility and obedience to authority in the mind.  Coupled with the immersion of Western popular culture, the consequences are completely predictable.  

One vulgar song  with Jiangnan style of dancing won the first place in the internet world years ago, with more than one billion hits, it was said.  The Korean ruling and even opposition parties were extremely happy in a mood of ecstasy, thinking it was the glory of the country.

 Honoring shame is a great warning sign.  But Koreans themselves may not know the real result is waiting ahead.

And soon the political power has changed.  United States had taken over.

Where can the South Koreans go?

The world is watching.

" .......a passive tolerance approach is the best choice, it is Confucianism."

(First printed  11/26/2016)

Why? Why Ukraine Is the First War Field in the Taiwan Issue?

 

It is a very simple matter.  When I saw  Japanese and South Korean leaders are preparing to send ammunition to Taiwan,  I knew that is where the problem is.  I will not argue whether they are really preparing  amunitions, or they are only showing a sign of happiness or willingness to do so.

It is in line with the tactics of the Ukrainian plot.

Now the Russians are fighting  single-handedly with all the Western allies  of the United States.

If the allies were warned in a very early stage,  that it's an act  of war with Russia,   maybe they will hesitate to do so.   Will it be too late to do it now?   

No.  

External  ammunitions  must be stopped one by one.   Act of wars must be stopped one by one.

Basics are the same.  If anyone dare to touch my baby,   I'll shoot his head.   Please mind your head.

We're talking a matter of tactics only.   It is not  'shi'.

'Shi' is in a much higher level of fighting.  It is about civilizations and trends. For example,  language problem is the 'shi' in the Taiwan issue.   Hearts must be in your side. Those who control  hearts will win.

And now it's a lower level tactics only.   It's a  simple tactics  not allowing external ammunition to enter the Ukraine war field.

And Ukraine matter is a matter between the Chinese and the United States, too.

Now the Russians are fighting single-handedly.

You will see that it's a very funny matter,   as no one will expect  that it will be the United States themselves  to call back  their  allies  not to send ammunition anymore.  They must be smart person  to see how things will be going.

Will the United States people be so smart? I must be dreaming in a broad daylight.

Maybe I am wrong.   I am not dreaming.   It's the only possible way to solve all the problems. They must be very smart to know that  there will be nowhere to go  for such a situation. And the outcome will be not acceptable for all.   It is a simple and foreseeable thing.

We are all humans,   we cannot think ahead of the history.   But I hope the United States people can  think one small step ahead of us.

Now it's sure that Ukraine is the first war field in the Taiwan issue.  And the war had been started  long before it was expected.

The war will be stopped in a ridiculous  future.

As for the time being, I do hope the South korean and Japanese leaders will not do things to regret.  They are all very smart people.

佔有型的受苦者與參與型的享受者有何不同？

 

take some time to relax and enjoy the following......

5/30/2012

When Buddha said,  "I would rather be in hell". What does it mean?   He said, "if I am not going into hell, who else would like to go?"

He said, I will pull  all people out from the hell.  He said, I will not be a Buddha  if the hell is not empty.

佔有型的受苦者與參與型的享受者有何不同？

　　

　　佔有就是受苦，而參與就是享受。要看一本書的時候，如果只想到佔有那本書的觀點，並且利用來考試，或者嚇人，那就痛苦了。紅樓夢這樣長，戰爭與和平這樣長，莊子也這樣長，要佔有，就真是不容易的。相反是享受型的人生。要享受那些書，或者，你會嫌他們太短的。不夠癮呢，一下子看完了，都渴想知道得多些，享受得長些。
　
　　生命有兩大型態。一種是佔有型，另一種是參與型。本來，這是思想家佛洛姆（E. Fromm）的分析。他用的名詞，稍有不同。他是說「佔有」與「存有」。(Having and Being)大約，他的那個年代裡，存在主義太流行，說是「存有」，知識份子們易於接些。但是，其實問題也是十分簡單的。一種是佔有，另一種是參與。「佔有型的受苦者」與「參與型的享受者」，是兩類不同的人。兩種不同的生活態度，清楚易見。
　　
　　深入研究基督精神的人，有時會感覺，是不是太苦了，耶穌的要求，是不是太高了。有一個青年問耶穌，如何進入天國。耶穌問他，你遵守了十誡了嗎？他說，都遵守了。耶穌說，那麼，你變賣所有資產，施捨給窮人，來追隨我吧。
　
　　有的聖經上，把這一句譯作「捨棄一切」。我不懂得希伯來文，不知道原文的意思是不是真的「捨棄一切」。而這是似乎很難做到的。捨棄一切，包括了捨棄自己的生命，還有自己的家庭、財產？是否接受這一種信仰，就要準備當犧牲者？要求是不是太高了？
　
　　這問題，莊子是早有回應的。
　
　　其實，正確的用詞，應該是「用盡一切」。生命是要來用的，不是要來丟棄的。參與型的生命，就是使用，就是享受。用盡了的生命，如同燃盡了的燭，是極端愉快的。
　
　　當我有了參與到天地萬物的情懷，當我徹底明白生命的真諦，我就是一個完全的享受者。使用生命，就是享受生命。而這種享受，跟吃喝玩樂是完全不同的。參與生命的人，也吃也喝，也玩也樂。但是，當生命的意義清楚了，我的目的，不是單純的為了「享受」，不是以為，只有佔有了物質才是享受，那樣，我的生命便豐盛了。
　
　　這就是參與型的享受，與佔有型的受苦，有何不同之處。本來就是很簡單的一種道理。只是世人太不明白了。明代楊慎的一首詩：「滾滾長江東逝水，浪花淘盡英雄。是非成敗轉頭空，青山依舊在，幾度夕陽紅。白髮漁樵江渚上，慣看秋月春風。一壼濁酒喜相逢，古今多少事，都在笑談中。」是不是遙遠觀看，笑談一番，就更好一些呢？未必的。楊慎只是看清楚了：佔有型的「英雄」們，其實是白費心思，是受大苦。享受過「三國演義」的朋友，一定會看到，諸葛亮後來死得多慘，劉備又死得多慘。三國英雄們，是沒有一個有好下場的。楊慎只是看到了那種佔有型的空虛吧了。佔有是改不了江山的。青山依舊在，就是說，江山仍是那個江山。
　
　　只有參與的人，才知道，江山是已經不同的。宇宙是不斷演化的。將來是與今天不同的。
　
　　所以，莊子的眼光是以宇宙的整體角度看人生。能夠這樣看，就看到，生命雖小，但也是有用的。生命不是捨棄，而是使用。用得其所，就是享受。
　　
　　用來做甚麼呢？參與者們都是有理想的，都是為了一個有意義的目標奮鬥的。而這目標，是與整體相關的。而佔有者們只是為了自己享受。而更可憐的是，他們不知道，佔有就是受苦。
　
　　還要多說一句。享受本文的朋友，不會嫌長氣的：那麼，這裡所謂的「享受」，不是像美國憲法「追求快樂」一樣的意思麼？當然是不一樣的。佔有型的人生，以為佔有了物質才是享受。以為生命的目的，只是為了追求快樂。但是，參與者的目的只是為了參與，他們是有理想的。至於享受不享受，完全不在考慮之列。佛祖說，「我不入地獄，誰入地獄？」他進入地獄，目的當然不是為了享受。他是為了一種偉大的理想。地獄不空，誓不成佛，才是最崇高的參與。雖然，受苦與享受，最後其實是一樣的。司馬遷被閹，那種心理上的大苦，沒有人受得起。享受過司馬遷「報任安書」的朋友，都會記得。他說，他是「腸一日而九迴」。失戀的現代人，大約，一迴腸已經難忍受了。當然，司馬遷的目的，不是為了受這樣的苦的。他是另有理想。就像戀愛的人，目標不是為了失戀。司馬遷的目的，只是用盡他的生命，寫完他的那本書。「史記」是一本中國人都應該「享受」過的書。而也只有，今日的美國無聊教授，才會以為古今聖賢的生命目的，也是為了某種特殊的快感。真是希望他也讀讀「報任安書」。不知道，遍佈美國各大學的「孔子學院」裡的教師們，會不會看過此書，並且略為美國朋友們解釋一下。

　　順便也多說一句，在美國的大學任教職，本來是要求有嚴格學歷的。但是，只有「孔子學院」的教師不用檢查學歷。希望我沒有聽錯。美國政客提倡儒學的苦心，使人震驚。甚麼平等，甚麼法律、校規，政客可以完全不理。許多人辛苦讀書，無法得到教職，畢業就是失業。但孔子學院例外。有例外，就不平等。話說回來，有天一日美國政客發現，孔子學院裡的，原來都是莊子信徒。（They are not Confucians, but Zhuangians）那就真是鳴嘩不得了啦。
　
　　話真是說得太長了。我本來是想多享受陽光清風，多彈琴的。白髮漁樵，是我的願望。我一生都希望多彈琴，卻從未有機會。最近三個月來，稿寫少了，琴彈多了。本來是很舒暢的。但是，有的問題，把我拉了回來，迫我的思想不能停止。欺人太甚，是不好的。
　(本文原刊於2012.5.30)

Why the United States is not prepared to stop the war?

 

It is because they want to beat China.  They want to beat China badly.

China is their first target, not Russia.

And they are in a completely safe situation to do this.  They knew that China is not going to interfere. (How did they know it?)

Ukraine is demanding unrealistic terms for a peace.

Its a message that the  United States do not want peace.

If they do not want peace, what do they want?

They are not warned to stop the war. 

 They can provide arms freely to Ukraine.  No one is to stop them.

And that helps their military economy.

The more they give,  the more they earn.

It is the last chance for the United States to stand strong.   And it is the last chance to beat China.

It must be stopped.

Ammunitions from United States must be stopped.

If the United States is not stopped,  the consequence will be difficult for all.  

Europe will become the real colony of the United States.  And China will be difficult.

If Europe is not to do business with Russia and China, then they will be down.

There will be a huge market for European people, if the war is stopped.  They must stand firm.

The outcome of the present situation is not acceptable.

If Russia is completely isolated, China will lose not only a friend, but an arm.   And the Middle-East will be in turmoil again.

It is totally unacceptable.

Peace is an award for fighters.

Why Sometimes Peace is Impossible? .

  

It is because the much stronger enemy wanted to destroy you.

It is always like this.  Cases are  serious.

It is a life or death determination.

And it is an examination:  can anyone beat a much stonger enemy?

 The weaker side can prepare it well ahead before  things happened.

It is seldom to have such a simple understanding.

People need to wait until the danger is at the front door. They will have very little time to escape.

Want peace with your enemy?

Want to persuade your enemy to retreat?

But they are determined.

Someone encourages you to talk with them. 

Those people who encourage you to talk with your enemy is more dangerous than your enemy.

Please be well prepared.

Same  happened in China 2000 years ago.

When the enemy is not attacking you,  but they are attacking  your neighbor.

They dare not even to warn the enemies that they are prepared to fight. They only send gifts and lands to make the Qin Emperor happy.

It  needs to know that you will be the next target.  And they are determined.

When American  attacked Korean  Peninsula, it was said that  Mao zedong  had used nine unslept nights  to figure out the things and determined to fight directly.

That was a very short time.

But he might not be awared  that his real enemy was from within.

American people knew the  exact location of his son who  was in   Korea battlefield and killed his son.   The psychological result had hurt deeply afterwards.

People argued that this is not true.  But one thing they can never answer is that how could the enemy knew the location?

It needs not a talent to know all about this.

If your  enemy is prepared  and determined to destroy your country, it is a must to know their determination. It's  important to be well prepared before everything.

Keep an eye on the enemies with in, but they will argue that your neighbor is more dangerous than your enemy.

It is so funny.

美國是否已經變成以色列的秘密殖民地?

 

有人對這個話題極端敏感哩

What is the 'secret origin' of a secret imperialistic colonialism?

  

It is important to know about the secret origin of the secret- imperialistic-colonialism.

Because it's the need to understand about the 

'shi'（勢）of the present situation.

United States is a pleasure- seeking nation.  But the origin of pleasure-seeking is seldom known.

Is the meaning of life pleasure-seeking?

There are basically two  objectives for human beings.

The first objective is to look at the Universe itself.  People are trying to live with the Universe,  And people understood that human beings are not balanced. They need to balance themselves, and they need to balance the Universe. They thought they are the Universe themselves. So there will be always a will to make the Universe a better place.   They are always seeking  truth for future from the point of a whole, and this is the starting point of love. This is the Chinese way of  thinking.

While the other objective of the human beings is pointing at the Self only.  And  the pleasure- seeking idea was thus created. This simple idea of pleasure- seeking was defined in  high sounding terms.   Some said they were seeking a joy and not a pleasure.  And that is a highest joy and endless joy,  and the joy is sacred.  It is not to be criticized.

However, this joy or pleasure- seeking is selfish. Its final profit is for oneself only. It could not be selfless,  the aim is for their own, not for the total wellbeing.

It is same with  Judaism.

Judaism is a secret religion.  It's only recently when some  United States preachers of Judaism  try to preach about  Judaism, then outside people could know more about it.

To put it  simply,  there are only two points about Judaism.

One is how they thought about the Universe.

Two is the secret way to control power.

Judaism  understanding of the Universe was in a complete set of strange terms and could not be clearly shown,  or proved, though it is interesting to see  that the  Judaism  idea  is about the 1% and 99% comparison.

1% is daily life,  and the remaining 99% is  controlled by  God. Its a faith for them.

The 99% is an absolute order  of the Universe.  Everything is calculable in the terms of a quantum measure.  It is a left- brain source of their thinking habit.  And of course, in the early  Judaism terms, there will not be a term like 'quantum'.   It was the  explanations from the American preachers recently only.

And this is not important. 

Everyone is free to tell how they thought about the Universe.

Important is that they said they were 'selected' by God.

The other 'not-selected' people could only be nations ruled by a secret-imperialistic-colonialism.

They can overthrow your government secretly and rule your country like a colony.

From the older British colonialism to the new and secret  colonialism,  one thing is certain.   They were  pleasure-seekers.  And they will never regret their wrong doings.  The British empire  had never said sorry  about the Opium War  and the harm done.  Same thing is happening again and again.  It is the same in the United States.

How could they do that? 

How could they control their power so effectively?

It was from the origin of Judaism.

That their powers are transferred from one generation to the next generation orally. 

 They need not to write down the rules. And anyone wish to join the ruling elites  must be pupils of their Rabbis.  Their traditions were kept orally only.  Powers were secured in a limited circle.

To study about the 'shi'（勢） in the present world,  the secret connections of Israel and the United States must be clearly studied.

There might not be a United States in the future,  there will be only a secret colony of Israel in the future.  And the United States is very likely ruled by outsiders already.

And this is a shi in our special situation.

note

Another important point about Judaism is the way they treated Jesus.

Why they need to murder Jesus?

Actually, it's a completely different idea about the world, about the Universe and about  The Creator.

Jesus is the heart of the West. And now the West is not the West anymore.

And the next thing we have to study is to compare Japanese Militarism with Judaism. They could be different branches from the same tree.
