Using of Third body

When doing things, writing articles, thinking stuffs, we often get affected by ourselves. it quite a bullshit, since everything we do, write, we think mush be base on ourselves. however, it is more like a boundary, than a benefit.

" a Great people is, who know how to break through himself. "

one way to breaking through, is using third body view point. looking following example.

(1) i like apples.

(2)Ryan likes apples.

(1) sounds like a personal judgment, (of course, it is!) (2) sounds like a common fact, that, Ryan, this guy, likes apples.

Lets take one more example.

(1) i think, it is a good way to break through myself.

(2) Ryan thinks, it is a good way to break through himself.

See? by putting out ourselves out of ourselves, we can have a more critical standpoint, argument. compare (1) and (2) we can see, we can not use (1) to argue with ourselves! if someone can do so, it is a truly "contradict". by using (2) we can how easily think another possibility that "Ryan" may be wrong!

the last example.

(1) i feel sad for my girl friend does not care about me.

(2)Ryan feel sad for his girl friend does not care about him.

See again? by using third body viewpoint, we can even help ourselves out of sadness!

Any thing has a price.

even killing himself mother do has a price. since you can first take half of the money, treat you mother very well in many years, so good that she want to die too, than killing her. i think someone may think it is not a bad idea.

sounds crazy, hah~

A thing must exist some things else to trade, even your lover, your faith, your priceless stuff.

people may be NOT willing to see or admit this. but it is how the world working. this trading theory, especially work if you are in trouble. we can see a lot of stories base on this: a financial manger is facing stock market crisis, he need a lot money right now, at that time, he even accept a lower price compare to normal situation, just for getting some money. a girl lose her love, she may act differently, like crazy shopping to "help" herself. (oh, in fact, a lot of girl like money more than their love, especially after she grow up). there are many many cases.

this does not happen in ourselves, is because we are safe (and of course, no one has that amount of money). so that our needs low. however, even when we are safe. an incredible price can also affect our judge. lets say, 100 billion USD, to trade your current girl friend. or become a king, by kill your brother. or, return the earth environment to be balance and get 10 billion, by killing 10 people (you can give that 10 billion to the 10 people).

however, some people, we will call them "cheap", is because, their price is cheap. for 10 dollars, they can kill, they can cheat, they can selling their soul, which are not normal to most people.

so, noble or evil, may be judge by the cost. noble has a very high price. evil, may be even negative price.

well, it does not work so good. since it depend on what is "good", or "bad".

Correct and Right

reading Olympic news, many opinion on fake or real, correct or wrong, art-show or presentation. so many opposite ideas.

the show can be fake, because it is an art show. ok, a art show with fake, is a fake art show, not simply art show any more. clear?

How to we deal with opinion in our life? especially for opposite, mutually exclusive ideas?

lets take one example. (from http://wanszezit.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/fake-is-art/)

出貓斷正,監考官問佢:「你話,點解要參加科舉?」「為左可以精忠報國,死而後已!」「咁你點解又要出貓?」「係為左國家利益!嗚…」係咪即時覺得我地中國文明好吊詭好玄呢。

for English reader:

Caught cheating while nation examination (to recruit talents to be governors).
"why you take part in the nation examination?" the examiner ask.
"For return my talent to the nation, to give some of my contribution." he defense.
"so, why cheating?" examiner questioning.
"For National welfare!" he keeps on deafening.
Will you now think the Chinese philosophy is abstruse and profound.

the blog writer does not say right or wrong.

i think, foreigners will not think it is difficult to judge. it is definitely wrong!!! any nations (oh, may be china excluded) should not, and must not recruit people that will cheat in any time! no matter what, cheating is not right. there is no right reason for cheating, although the cheat will give some benefit. just like a common wisdom said: " a mistake will not correct another mistakes, only make it worse."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Any thing has a price. no matter what. (or anything can be exchanged to anything else, money is just a measurement.)

so, cheating must be converted to a price for everyone. and the price, defined how good of this people. simply imagine cheating in a primary school dictation for only 10 HKD, and for 1 billion. you can see, the price is somewhat mean the resistance for being bad. it is an inertia.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

lets us look back the cheating case in that nation examination. let us assume that guy is a super genius, he has a chance to give the nation great benefit, if convert to money, it worth few billion and billion. but so what? it is the future money!! not real!! not executed. so, now, he is just a jack ass.

=================================

back to our topic. How to deal with opinion?

it is very simple at all. depends on how "stubborn" you are. how stubborn that you change your mind, be affected by others by no cost. actually, good and bad, we know it already, which is not conditional. we can simply pick up the keyword in that opinion, see whether it contains bad idea. thus, we can see what is good, what is bad. however, some people may argue with condition. like the Olympic game, it is an art show, so fake is acceptable. more, other Olympic games also fake. Ok, if you think so, there are so many people killing each other, will it make killing right? ok, killing is an extreme case. so, there are a lot people cheating each other, many chinese goverment officers corrup, is this mean those things right?

if you first don't have any idea for one thing, than think about the price, the trade off. and using the 6 queastions : who, when, what, where, which, how. to see the gain and lose. by these, one can judge is it good or not. the gray line is due to we have 6 demensions ( queastions) to judge. we simple cannot know (1,0,0,0,0,0) or (0,2,0,0,0,0) is better.

using 300 billion RMB, using some fake art show (how) trading proud of the nation (what).

Noble ? Evil?

some characteristics, personalities will be defined as noble. like honest, innocent, etc.

why we think these are noble? (1) some said, it is because these are not easy/able to do but people still can do it. this definition/comment, meaning that the other opposite-- evil, is that, these are easy/able to do, and people do it. obviously, it is not the case. (not easy to do but still can do it, only mean that people with ability)

(2) some said, these characteristics can increase social benefit/happiness. just like a distribution, noble and evil is just 2 opposite edges. that's sound reasonable, but, what is "social benefit/happiness"? how to measure? we never live in a honest society. so, we never know "honest" does good for society. moreover, will something call "overshoot" happen -- bad effect may happen when too much honest in the society?

(3) some said, these behaviors are simply make one-self feel good and happy. well, should we define some mad people, who has just little different for happy, are not people at all??

i think, noble and evil, are very much the same. which is abnormal indeed. beyond abnormal, they are the same. which will not cause any good or bad. think about how we know noble action, how this concept was built in our mind. most of it is come from our parent. think about before any religions, do we know any moral? may be we can only think about what is useful, what is effective. and some day, some thinker, declare that some behaviors are good (in their mind). and some emperors, think that it can be used to control people. so, people will passing those idea generation by generation, and this also spread out wider and wider.

thus, forget about the noble and evil, it is just a joke in human society, by emperors to his stupid people. if one can see through the future, and look back on today. noble and evil, is just a useful idea, to make people busy on, by thinking they are never good enough.

this is the new definition for noble and evil:
work effective = noble
ineffective = evil
