THE MYTH OF ANCIENT ELDERS

Source:
There is an ancient myth that is spread through the media.

This myth is widely spread by new powerhouses with Confucian tendencies. This is because it is useful for the public to identify themselves with people who have been mythized in this way.

In other words, by deifying his master, he dreamed of the advantages of being able to easily occupy the same position as his own disciple. It is good to be stoned if you deify yourself. Therefore, it was safer to exalt one's master by disguising humility, and the effect was also increased.

The young people in power today also describe the elders of this age that they founded as so-called enlightened people. The criterion for that evaluation is, of course, Confucianism.

So, if we summarize the words of the elders of our time, it will eventually become a relational theory. This is because Confucianism is a relational theory.

Confucianism is a set of virtues about how to have good relationships. The better you embody the virtues of that relationship, the more you will grow from animal to human, and eventually you will attain the highest state of being human according to heaven's will. In Confucianism, this is called enlightenment.

In other words, the relational theorist would be called the enlightened one.

Of course, this was a completely different story from the truth.

The Enlightenment was never a relational theory.

The fact that the cell is engraved most clearly in the experience of realization is the fact that the relationship is an illusion. Another obvious fact is the solid fact of existence that precedes any illusion of relationship. The fact of existence is calling me.

Therefore, enlightenment is clearly not a discourse, but, frankly, it is an ontology rather than a relational theory.

existential ontology.

Traditionally, the concept established at the very opposite end of existence is structure.

Relational theory is more concerned with this structure than the individual. The so-called individual has no substance, and only the relationship that unfolds between them is real. Therefore, in Confucian relational theory, individual desires must be weighed against self-esteem. Instead, individual desires must be sublimated to the overall structure.

This process by which individual desires are transformed into ideologies, ideologies and causes is read as sublimation, but the real meaning is reduction. It's strong, it's reduced, it's oppression.

The reason existence rejects structure is because structure suppresses existence.

This is because violent repression is justified by the discourse of truth.
