Reason is gratitude.

Gratitude is relating the effect to the cause,

and the law of causality is the basis of reason.

.................................................. .............................


You know what"s around you from its relationship with yourself.

You know yourself from its relationship with God.

.................................................. ............................


Heroism isn't to do the virtue that people see as virtue. It is to do the

virtue that people see as vice.

.................................................. ............................


Help yourself by helping others.. teach yourself by teaching others..

heal yourself by healing others..

that's a universal law.

Because now you've surrendered to God and freed yourself from selfishness.

.................................................. ............................

Good is more powerful than evil, but evil is more wide-spread.

.................................................. ..........................

Look not for happiness. make happiness look for you.

What is yours will look for you.

.................................................. ............................

Everything in the mind has its basis in our feeling.

Humanity's mind is the result of the humanity's feeling.

.................................................. ..........................

It is false to say that morality is relative. Morality is relative in terms

of its methods but not relative in its motives.


The motives behind morality are known by everyone by intuition,

while the methods are acquired from society and culture. Whoever

watches a movie ,whether young or old, loves the virtuous hero and

resents the evil, selfish and pragmatic character and discovers them

easily. The movie maker did not need to explain to the audience

where is virtue and where is evil in the movie.

I think you mean, 'You know yourself from your relationship with God' ?


Can you explain this further? How is heroism seen as a vice? (Vice meaning an evil/ immoral act)

I think he means to do the works that others frown upon. Humbling and degrading works that build character and humilitude :)
