Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung(Arthur Schopenhauer)

 1. Let's consider the relationship of interest.


Since geniuses have superior cognitive abilities, they spend time contemplating life itself, not serving their will, and try to consider the ideology of all things without considering the relationship of things to other things.

Even if not everyone is a genius, I think it is valuable to consider the ideology of all things.

For example, I think that understanding a formula and simply memorizing it are different.

Memorizing a formula and simply substituting values ​​is what we commonly call spoon-fed education, and I think that if you understand the formula, you will automatically know the value without having to substitut e the formula.

That's why I think the aspect of understanding is very important.

The geniuses who created the formula are the ones who created the formula for the result, and they were able to do it because they understood the formula.

I think they must have made countless trials and errors, made many reflections and understandings, and had a lot of worries about various things as a basis. We always encounter various problems, and if we deeply contemplate those problems and continue to search for answers, we may come up with our own answers.

Or, those answers may eventually become everyone's answers.

If we find everyone's answers, it becomes a formula, and just as geniuses have contributed to humanity with formulas and excellent ideas, we can become the same.

Each person's depth of knowledge is different, and everyone thinks they are a genius in their field.

What you are good at may not be good for others, and each person definitely has something they are good at.


2. Revenge is futile.


Revenge is all about inflicting pain without a purpose for the future, and the purpose is to comfort yourself by looking at the pain of others caused by it.

In Nietzsche's 'On the Genealogy of Morality' that I read before, it said that we should be good and not be revengeful.

I think philosophers eventually realized that revenge is futile.

I also believe that simple revenge without any future benefits will not benefit either you or the target.

I think that if you are happier than the target of your revenge or if you put in a lot of effort to become happy, then your revenge is successful.

Even if it is difficult right now, life is long and there are many opportunities.

I think it is wiser to live for yourself rather than for the target of your revenge.

I believe that if you refine yourself and create a better future, you will one day find great happiness.

I prefer long-lasting happiness over momentary, powerful pleasure.

This is because it is difficult to reach the high threshold after powerful pleasure.

That is why you may feel more empty after a great success in revenge.

I hope that you take revenge in the right direction that will benefit you more.

God delusion(Dawkins, Richard)

  1. It is the role of science to let us know the facts. Mystics rejoice in riddles and wish for them to remain mysterious. Scientists rejoice in riddles for a different reason: they give them something to do. mobile e-book: 320p In the past, humans practiced totemism, animism, and shamanism, offering sacrifices to improve the weather, performing rain rituals, or, as in the legend of mantou from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms where twenty head-shaped buns were offered to a river god to calm its waters, taking various measures to appease the wrath of gods through sacrifice. However, because science has developed, modern humans can now predict, to some extent, why weather phenomena like the rainy season and typhoons occur and where they will strike. We can even induce rain through artificial rain technology. Thus, when we are ignorant of the facts, things may seem miraculous and be seen as the work of gods, but once we know the facts, we can understand them. It seems that humani...

Parenting from the Inside Out(Daniel J. Siegel, Mary Hartzell)

  1. Let's Reflect on Ourselves "When you pay attention to your own experiences when you get angry at your child's behavior, you begin to realize how much your reactions have interfered with an ideal relationship with your children." (e-book p. 70) There are moments when I get particularly angry at a specific behavior of my child. I ask myself, "Why does this action make me so angry?" and "Why am I reacting so sensitively?" I reflect on whether I, too, received negative feedback for the same behavior in the past. By contemplating my anger and looking back at my past, I come to understand the root cause of my sensitivity to that particular action. I realize that my specific reactions are also responses stemming from past experiences. Therefore, to change my behavior, I must first acknowledge the origin of my reaction and then consider how to change. Through this process, I can restore my bond with my child and achieve deep self-reflection. My ingr...

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success(Carol S. Dweck)

  1. Life Is Yours "It is your chosen perspective that determines whether you can become the person you want to be and realize the value of your life." Mobile e-book: 27p Even when faced with the same situation, everyone reacts differently. I believe that life's outcomes are ultimately determined by our own choices. I think our current state is a result of our past choices. For instance, writing this book review is a consequence of my past decision to read the book. And my improving writing skills (though still lacking) are a combination of past writing experiences before starting the blog, plus the experience of writing more and more since starting the blog. This has led to the current result where I can now quickly write a book review in 1-2 hours (and marking important lines while reading helps reduce time spent on quotes). Similarly, your current state is a product of your accumulated past experiences, efforts, and trials and errors. No one is good from the start. Wha...
