Philosophies! what do you think of pride, glory, etc. martial arts, etc?

jenova_9 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:07:54 GMT

Philosophies! what is pride, glory, and what do martial arts fight for? As well as the elements of the spirit and the mind?

Let's see, *flip flip flip*

PRIDE is a high opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc.

Do you think Pride is a cause of conflict and an exaggeration of one's significance?
I don't believe in pride in my life, I avoid being proud of things. I think that keeps me level headed. Because I feel people who are proud, are the most sensitive to insults and easily get upset when things don't go their way, or someone performs better than they do.

Well more on that later hmm.....

GLORY is something that is a source of honor, fame, or admiration.

what is honor?

HONOR is honesty, fairness, or integrity in one's beliefs and actions.

what is integrity?

INTEGRITY is attachment to moral and ethical principles.
MORALITY = conformity to the rules of right conduct; moral or virtuous conduct.
VIRTUE= righteousness

"The martial arts are both art and science. The word “art" is defined as the activity of creating beautiful things and the word “science" is defined as a methodological activity, discipline, or study". While these two definitions are correct, I prefer the contributions of an anonymous poet: “Art is a passion pursued with discipline science is a discipline pursued with passion". At their most basic level, the martial arts are nothing more than ways to prevent someone from harming or killing you. At their highest aspiration, the martial arts are paths to self-knowledge and the expression of beauty.
There are three aspects of being, which the martial arts aim to develop: Body, Mind and Spirit.
*The true martial artist is humble but confident, willing to give way to others but unwilling to accept injustice.

*Self-improvement and self-defense are as more important than winning trophies.

*There is no honor in defeating a much weaker opponent; Your real opponent is your own lack of self-control."

Oh wow. I been typing this up, and I'm starting to learn some things already! But it would help to receive input from others how they feel about things like pride, and what people
fight for, what's worth fighting for, what is victory? Oh ya, What IS victory?

VICTORY a success or triumph over an enemy in battle or war.

So when someone says they fight for victory, in what would normally be considered
a sport. Is that true? What is the true victory?

Well please share your philosophies on these. :)

Power Outage PWND up my PC

Malacite — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:12:43 GMT

Can anyone help?

Everythign was running fine on my PC about an hour ago when there was a sudden power-outage for about 5 minutes...

Well, after the power came back my PC has been acting all fucked up. It says OneCare had to close (and it freezes when i try to restart it) POL, iTunes and Windows Live messenger won't open either.

How the hell do I fix this? Some programs still work fine while others simply freeze (my task manager shows the .exe file is open and running but nothing appears on screen!)

Let's learn more about South Korea!

jenova_9 — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:25:34 GMT

ya I wikied as much as I could but there is no clear word that explains what Koreans call their country in their own language.

oh wait I found some info
Hanguk = Korea or South Korea as a whole
Namhan = South Korea
Bukhan = North Korea
Ibuk = (refer to N.K. as "The North")

In particular, I have been trying to search what Korean friends call each other, do they say their full family, and those two names that are their "first name"? like all three combined? or only the last two names? I know its rude to just call them by their
last two names, or just their family name, but I was reading some tourist guides, so
maybe those rules are reserved for foreigners interacting with Koreans, not between
Koreans or between Korean friends.

I found some family referral words like:

Nuna' is an older sister used by a younger brother.
'Oppa' is an older brother used by a younger sister
'Unni' is an older sister used by a younger sister.

Mind you, I'm not trying to learn the language or history :p just things on the surface,
especially based on modern examples.

Some people in soem sites seem to question why Koreans call each other brother and
sister even if they aren't blood related.

Oh I found some useful information from a blog:

"hyung" (males call older males)...."oppa" (females call older males)....it doesn't mean blood brother...just means that the person is a older "friend" or male...

"nuna" (males call older female)...."unnie" (females call older female)...again...just means the female is older....

"dong-seng" (older person calls younger person)...female or male...if the other person is younger..he/she is "dong-seng"...

now...if you are talking about your real blood sibling...older brother or older sister...just put "chin" in front.....example....."chin dong-seng" refers to your blood-related younger sibling....."chin nuna" is your blood-related older sister....

here is something else!

i have the definitive answer. you guys ready?

korea is known as the hermit nation. we isolated ourselves very well and our pride is the purity of our blood. we dont call our country korea, we call it dae han min gook, one great country. one great people. one great blood.

also the influence of confuscious and patriarchy combined with the purity of our blood. all pure koreans have a blue butt when they are born. this means that in a sense we are all related, and thus we call each other brother and sister, uncle and aunt, etc."

"koreans consider everyone their family plus its a sign of respect for people who are older than you. If i had a girlfriend that was 5 years older by me calling her "unni" i am respecting that she is older than me but at the same time treat her as friend. But, As the "unni" she would be more inclined to take care of me etc... "

Wow this is new stuff to me!

Koreans rarely call each other by their first name except for close friends and children.

Okay now we are getting somewhere.......but their first name is their last two names right? it goes family name, then their two names that make up their given name.

So like, friends call each other by their first name. what about Koreans that are not
their friends, like police or strangers, they would address them by their full name?

well here is the next step.........Korean slang:

Jae-su means good luck it seems

Jagiya [자기야, jah-gee-yah] was said to mean boyfriend, but on another site,
someone who knows Korean says it means "honey" or "sweetie" So it might be used
both ways between boyfriend and girlfriend.

this site seems to also have many topics related to South Korea.

Came up in another thread, thought that it's pretty funny, in my linkshell I knew a lot of people's first names, and on other forums, but around these parts, the conversation has never come up.

Don't worry, I'm not planning on stalking any of you. I don't have the means to find out such information anyway.

Ok people, this could be life or death. Everyone here has, at one time or another, enjoyed entertainment from Japan but do you really know how to tell the difference between a Japanese person and other people of Asian decent.

Well don't worry any more, the War Department has you covered.

This is a sad story, but it's completely sensationalist. I think they completely underplayed alcohol's role.

Pay An Atheist For Post-Rapture Pet Care

Associated Press
ALSTEAD, N.H. -- Christians who believe they'll vanish from Earth in the rapture can now hire an atheist to care for their pets.
For $110, Eternal Earth-Bound Pets offers a 10-year contract guaranteeing that an atheist will adopt the pet that's left behind by its raptured owner. Additional pets can be covered for $15.
The company's owner, Bart Centre, said his pet rescuers definitely won't be raptured because they've all blasphemed the Holy Spirit in writing, committing what they believe Jesus called the unforgivable sin.
His Web site said the rescuers are animal lovers who "are committed to step in when you step up to Jesus."
Centre said he doesn't believe in God or the rapture, but is offering a service for those who do.
The service is available in 22 states, including Oklahoma.
