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).
