Two Freedoms

There are two ways              of implication   for a freedom , One with your mind, and the other your body. Freedom of mind is for everything you think, A world of consciousness: will, decision, inference, and behavior. Freedom of the body is for the entire rest of all your unconsciousness, Where you can only sense an ambience, air, or impression around. "Wow, I can do whatever I like!" you rejoice. Then, you are talking about the mind freedom. "What a release," "How comfortable!" you sigh. Then, you utter the body freedom. These two are a bit different, although they appear the same. Be careful, because everyone has both freedoms equally. So let you just see both your mind and body, If you would like to balance both freedoms' growth. ao This short sentence was written, inspired by "The User Illusion: Cutting Consciousness Down To Size" (NÇ¿rretranders, 1999).

Learning a foreign speech in the local context

Learning a foreign language (L2)  as decoding information (e.g., translation) may be difficult in a local context,  such as in schools and communities where no one around speaks the language, but not too difficult to address because we can optimize our first language (L1) to the utmost limit. However, learning L2 speech in the local context in addition to one’s L1 speech is probably the most complicated and collisional challenge if it is compared to the other academic achievements in schools pursuing globalism, such as prulilingualism. This conflict, which learners, teachers, and theorists as well, often confront, has its origin in a unique feature we experience when we learn or teach any L2. In fact, every teaching plan, in the classroom practice, entails language-in-interaction to maneuver. It is thus doubled in this sense for us to learn L2 speech by speech; that is, because we are orally situated in our community, we need to use a spoken language, and it is so eve...

Unconsciousness in yourself!?

Consciousness is so-called an ongoing process of acquiring yourself; A newborn baby is incapable of being either conscious or unconscious. Amazingly enough, he or she will soon be aware of their own flaring existence. Growing up, hearing the voices of the adults around, Boys and girls will gradually notice the other existence of unconsciousness, Something weird who never speaks, staying just around themselves. Some do not notice it even when they grow up, Some call it the unearthly ghost or superstition. Meanwhile, every morning we wake up from a night's sleep. For it is a custom of our society, of our body from birth. Even some more will be indefinitely convinced to take for granted, Unconsciousness (e.g., sleep) first, then everyday awaking. Therefore, little do we think in our daily life that; The sea of your unconsciousness--you are just unaware of it-- is actually Connected to the shore of your consciousness of which you are aware right now! Consciousne...

Quality of Life

   Quality of life (QOL) is often discussed to proclaim the quality of mundane opportunity for the physically challenged people such as the blind and/or deaf. It tells us that those who don't inherently see or hear will nonetheless live their life to the same (or even more) extent as most of the others do. However, this idea sheds light upon a more general question of how to think about your origins and encounters: that is, the question of your own interpretation about circumstantial perception and behavior.    Parents spending money for their kid's academic motivation, for example, would probably run against a later glitch, hearing, "It won't pay for God's sake!" When he or she grew up in the college, a pretension of belief that you pay for academic achievement to deserve it is in turn brandished. The thinking runs gradually dry and eventually halts just at the moment of paying tuition. One explanation of this is that the non-creative consumptive society ...

On Our Two Sexes

    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) lived his life in 19th-century Germany. Although his thoughts and philosophy is very hard for us who lives in 21th-century Japan, and it is too dense to understand, recently I found an interesting verse delivered by Zarathustra (1885), "The happiness of man is, ' I will.' The happiness of woman is, ' He will'" (p. 1174 in Kinddle).        This line has apparently been understood as a controversy of men's (or his) insolubility in women, which I do not like to participate here. In addition, the snap judgment of his would be subject to criticism from feminist theory and politicalization  in many ways than one. Incidentally, however, there is no denial of interpreting this idea from the point of view of natural science.    Male sex drives. The strength of man comes from his weakness, want . Further, men simply believe that hiding their weakness must lead to their own happines...

On romance and love

   Mother was not allowed to go to high school when she was young. Subsequently, she allowed me and Key, my sister, to read the world collected works of literature for children. Despite the early days of Japanese tempting  mangas and animation films (mostly for TV, somehow under the influence of American pop culture), we deeply owed much to her grittiness to get opportunities for world great pieces. Without many experiences about romance or love, with what little subjective idea of friendship and persistence, those thoughtful and sophisticated fictions have surely expanded our world dramatically, and they turn over time, more and more, appropriate .    I learned years later that Stendhal (1783-1842) had addressed the issue of life and love in France shortly after the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte. Stendhal said that, I believe it now too, women are braver than the bravest men, which is followed by this below: Only they [women] must have a man to be in ...

On Our Two Extremes in Literature

   Regardless of age, sex, or background, we are more or less conscious of our contingent life. Shakespeare once made his famous Gloucester say as follows; "As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods; They kill us for their sport... "  (King Lear, Act 4).    One extreme response to this uncertainty in the form of literature was verbalized in many ways as Romanticism in the 19th century. De Lisle Adam's (French writer, 1838-89) young Count Axel, for example, persuaded his beautiful runaway nun Sarah to kill themselves in denial about the stupidity of life in his age, claiming, "As for living, our servants can do that for us." The opposite extreme of this is found in Meursault's insensibility to the ultimate "indifference of the universe," who was fully characterized by Camus in his 1942 book, "L'Etranger" (in a sense the world neither cry nor wry at our death at all). Few people mull over death and we usually stay too blunted to pe...
