學歷史唔使學太多，因為歷史真係不停重覆。而且，好快又重覆一次。

20250110 公平?
呢個係一個有趣嘅故事
有一個農莊主人佢想請臨時工
係朝頭早有一個工人嚟應徵農莊主人叫佢即時開工
去到食中午飯之前又有一個工人嚟應徵農莊主人又叫佢即時開工
午飯過後又有一個工人離認證農莊主人又叫佢即時開工
去到黃昏嘅時候，收工喇，農莊主人向各人派咗一個銀幣作為當日嘅工資
最早開工嘅工人大叫唔公平，佢一早開工做足全日都係得一個銀幣而其他人只係做咗半天又有一個銀幣所以非常之唔公平
農莊主人答，你開工係基於一個契約，而我亦完成契約裏面嘅條款。係呢件事上面同公平有咩關係？
20241229 Not smarter
I am not smarter than you, I just older than you. I went through something that you do not. I know my mistake and how to improve it. I don't have the 2nd chance to face it again but I have a younger you.
If the world has not gone through a huge change, you will face the problem of mine when you reach my age.
20241203 淺草寺
今日坐在淺草寺，腦內就想到
1. 佛學講因果，佛都不能被免。
2. 要不跌入因果，最簡單就是不動，不動就是不生因，果報完就無因無果。
3. 所以就算被打被殺也不可還手，因為是在了因。
4. 但了因並不是只是一世。因地果還生，可能要很多世。
5. 但要保持多世不動，很不可能。
6. 心經講色即是空，空即是色。就是一層突破。因果是被不了，但自性如如，在因果中而不受因果所牽絆，什至善用因果。
20241018 Reason for Yes
you don't give a reason when you say Yes to a request. Then, why do you have to provide a reason when you say No?
To be fair, if somebody asks for a reason for a No, they have to give a reason for the Yes.

our beliefs become our thoughts
our thoughts become our words
our words become our actions
our actions become our habits
20240923 What is immigrant
what is an immigrant?
An immigrant is a person who contributes to the national revenue without spending it.
Normal citizens spend national revenue when they are small such as on education, and they contribute national revenue when they start to work after school. But an immigrant is not.
From the perspective of a nation, a local newborn is an investment. The nation invests in them and expects in return when they join the labour force. However, the nation loses if the newborn leaves the country.
However, for an immigrant, the story is totally via verse.

There is no use to counsel a person who is sleeping and dreaming sweetly. Maybe you need to slap them awake first.
20240901 心
we don't know how we retrieve our memory, but when someone talks about a past event, we can recall it, the sound the picture, and the feeling as well. This is the use of the heart (心之用).
From the use of the heart, we know the essence of the heart (心之本). However, we never know how the essence of the heart looks like.
Remember, in ancient times, people don't know anything about the biology of the brain. They know there is a brain but how it works, and the function of different parts of the brain, they never know. The brain is like a black box, it cannot be described.
in Taoism, it mentions that the essence of Tao cannot be seen and heard, but we are so sure its present because we can see, and hear its use.
