What is my view about religion?

Recently, I am thinking what the god is. There are many chances to think about the religions especially, Christianity as an ICU student. Always I wanna know what the god is when studying about the religions. After all, what is the palpable distinction between humans and the god? It seems that they are stimulating and have an intimate bearing on each other. I think that the god and humans are two sides of the same coin and the line between these two are a fine one extremely thin. Also, one idea coming from Nietzsche observes this question by the same aspect. He proposed whether humans were a failure of the god or the god was a failure of humans. His claim maintained that the god and humans were so close existence, and what is more, they had no class. Always his idea gives me a little clue to my question.

What does "love" mean to me?

"Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil."

                                            Freedrich Nietzsche

I can answer the question, "what does love mean?" by quoting a maxim of Nietzsche.

I seems that what I can say from his word is love is beyond the control of good and evil and it just happens for somebody you love. Love is purposeless and innocent. 

I strongly agree with his thought but I always wonder whether my love is filled with selfish aim or not. The importance is to think about somebody you love not you. Love occurs only when you wanna be with somebody you love.

Too simple but too deep- Silesius

"The rose is without why;it blooms because it blooms.

It cares not for itself;asks not if it is seen."

                                                      Angelus Silesius

This poem is by Angelus Silesius, was a German Catholic mystic and poet.

Needless to say, it refers to what a rose is and arouses a mysterious atmosphere.

I came across this poem in my high school days and was so surprised at its simple but powerful expression. 

Its manner is too simple but cleverly see through a fundamental question. Clearly Silesius had "an imaginative awareness of experience." In the next publishing, I will try a poem and wanna describe simple but fundamental issue around us.

What is "happiness" to me?

It is difficult to answer this question because there are many kinds of happiness for our life.

But as far as I know,  happiness is the ability to understand a pain. I think originally there is no clear definition of happiness. So, how can we feel it? It seems that we need some sorts of interpretation or basis of it. I claim that it is not until we feel a pain that we can understand what happiness is.

At all events, if you feel happiness, that is to know what a pain is, you can be kind to others and strict with yourself.

Backstreet Boys- Downpour

"I wanna feel the rain again. I wanna feel the water on my skin.

And let it all just wash away. In downpour, I wanna feel the rain."

                                 Backstreet Boys

This is one snatch coming from Backstreet Boy's song, Downpour.

This song talks about disappointment in love by using rain as a metaphor. It seems that rain purifies a deep scar of disappointment of love and I am strongly in favor of this snatch. Sometime rain is utilized as an example of lost love. It is easy to connect disappointment in love and rain but actually this connection is not quite obvious. I think the ability to associate something with something is necessary to write a poem and this idea might have a bearing on "an imaginative awareness of experience." In next publishing, I would like to try a poem.

What makes I me?- What I do

"It is not who I am underneath, but what I do defines me."  
                                                               Batman



What is the exact factor to define me? In most cases, people always tend to define him by only looking at his appearance. However, this manner is superficial and can not see through the real intention. So... how can we figure out his real characteristic? I found out one clue to this question from the quotation above. It comes from a movie, Batman Begins. The quotation above claims that it is difficult to figure out what he is apparently but real intention looms as his behavior. I think his word makes sense in order to answer my question. It seems that what we do is the result of what we think or what we experience. In this logic, it's reasonable to say what I do defines me. 
Movies sometimes answers my question like this and I strongly suggest watching movies for not only fun but also study.

What are my greatest strengths and weaknesses?- Quick Wit and Fickleness

My greatest strengths and weaknesses are quick wit and fickleness. It seems that these two words are quite irrelevant. But for me, they are coexisting and have an intimate bearing each other.

Quick wit

I am seemed to have quick wit compared with others. I always try to make a decision in a flexible manner more speedy and more reasonably. But the problem is that I tend to observe only appearance of matters. So, I can not see through the essence of them. This downfall of my advantage is connected with my weakness.

                                     
Fickleness

I can not concentrate on what I am not interested. Even if I stat something new, I easily get tired of it. With me, this kind of situation is a daily occurrence and many things are half-finished. This habit results from the downfall of my quick wit. This means that my fickleness is due to the lacking of observing the essence.

Considering these two, my strength and weakness, the crux is that the important is to enhance the quality of seeing through the essence. By doing so, it is helpful to develop the ability of quick wit and redeem my shortage. I should grasp my strength and weakness more comprehensively.

A draft of first publishing - Food Writing

I am going to talk about one of my favorite restaurants.
I would like to introduce the restaurant by using a style of a guideline or manual.

There are three steps here.

1. Find out a restaurant you wanna introduce

In the first place, we have to find out the restaurant you wanna go to by means of some ways such as seeing books or word of mouth communication. And then we have to arrive where the shop is.

2. Enjoy dishes

I am most looking forward to this time! Having wonderful time with enjoying fantastic food is especially pleasant during being the restaurant.

3. Analysis of dishes

In this process, I enjoy dishes by my head not my tongue. Thinking about the recipe of dishes or observing the way of arrangement is one important clue to increasing the quality of enjoying food.

Perfume - The most irresistible urge

Today I am going to talk about one my of favorite movies, Perfume. This movie describes the one murderer with an incredible talent for smell.  For him, smell is only criteria to recognize everything and can scent out any kinds of smells. His only desire is to create best scent as perfume by means of beautiful women as perfume. Can you guess a story of this movie? Yes, he killed women in order to complete perfume. After all, nobody could resist the smell of his perfume.

One assumption coming from my mind was that smell was one crucial criteria determining human consciousness. I wrote about this topic as an essay last year of ELP. As far as I researched, smell to some extent has an impact on human characteristics . Especially, it reflects personal preference and cultural background. I think smell is the hidden law of phenomena and arouses our irresistible urge.
