Confidence softens sharpness, making words and movements smooth. Uncertainty is contrasting, vain, and it seems as if it freezes and twitches. Confidence is moderate. Uncertainty fluctuates between extremes or sticks to them.
An introvert is an inferiority complex. An extrovert is a megalomaniac. There are still many intermediate categories. Ideally, both extremes should be contained and integrity should be sought.
You are wrong to separate form from content, extremes are always lies, truth is a whole entity. Any extreme is always a drug. Too much love is called pride. Too much joy creates suffering.
If you want a lot at once, want a little at once. The system requires balance. You can't want one thing by choosing one extreme, you automatically choose the other extreme.
Conflicts within the family are conflicts of two extremes, Mars and Venus. If these two will meet each other halfway, they will be able to create unity on the basis of the planet Earth.
Lie and truth are two axes of coordinates-vertical and horizontal. Where the lie is the vertical axis, and the truth is the horizontal axis. On the other hand, the system is three-dimensional, so the lie has two extremes, that is, it forms the Z and y axes. Curiously, there is no clear division between the axes. Rather, the axis of truth is time, and the other three axes are lies.
There is a couple of perfect utopian communities known to nature. Hives are perfect female communities. Anthills are perfect male communities... And of course no one would deny that extremeties are effective. But is there truth in them? And who in fact, really needs these extremeties and what do they finally result into?
In the literature I have identified...
The image - like form, the sense - content...
The content should carry information and novelty...
The form must have novelty and perfection...
The basis of information is the truth.
Truth, as a function of perfection, does not tolerate
extremes, the perfection of form is subordinated to
rhythm....
Too much is not necessary, time is money, money is energy,
energy must be conserved...
Concentrate form and content...
An important symptom of idealism is suspiciousness. Idealists are similar, in essence, to magnifying glasses, everything seems to them either more or less than it is. Suspiciousness is an exaggeration of fear. And where there is suspiciousness, there is an underestimation of fear.
There are two extremes: you are either zero or one. No matter what one does, it remains one. No matter what zero does, it transforms everything into zero. A successful and sensible person is one who was able to unite these two extremes inside himself and to become ten.
Quantum nanophilosophy (Syntalism) can be called the philosophy of the North or the philosophy of common sense. The North is very cold and a lot of energy is required to survive. In the North, any mistake can cost you your life. In the North, common sense and pragmatism are very important. Syntalism is the harmony of the incompatible. By absorbing the wisdom of Eastern, Western and Southern philosophies, nanophilosophy achieved the synergetic integrity that provided access to sources of huge energy.
Looking at the world through rose-coloured glasses is just as silly as having a morbid outlook on life. Life should be seen in a broad realistic view. Anything organic is always better than chemical things.
All those colored glasses only strain eyes and distort reality. Those who live in a fool's paradise and lose touch with reality, soon become useless people.
The problem is not that you crossed the line, but that you didn't get back in time. Life is the process of swinging the pendulum from extreme to extreme with respect to the point of equilibrium. What you call peace is equilibrium oscillation.
Peace is death, but peace is emptiness, emptiness is a place to live. How is it that death and life are the same thing? "Both life and death are extremes, and You are a pendulum swinging between them. You need to find a point of balance and move relative to it, it will give you energy to maintain your materiality.
The strategy of digging money resembles the work of electrical generators. You can be a pendulum that moves from extreme to extreme (up, down, left and right) over a spot of balance. Can move on the circle of extremes (spiral) without going into balancing states. Or you can sit in the spot of balance far from extremes and spin on the same place like a whipping-top.
Laziness is a trait inherent in extremes. Laziness saves the world from a fool. Laziness saves a fool of himself. There's nothing scarier than an energetic fool. There's nothing worse than a spirited wiseacre. By creating the monster, nature has taken care to ensure that this creature troubles wouldn`t cause too much trouble.
Sadomasochism and sadism are the qualities of the soul, inherent to feminine essence ( not to sex, but to the very essence). These are so called «compensational desires».
Sadomasochism is inherent to person due to lack of confidence and guilt. Therefore, a person feeling guilty subconsciously wants to be punished and this way to be released from fear, pain and responsibility. He gets calm and forgiveness. It gives great pleasure and satisfaction.
But any extremity can easily turn into its opposite. The inferiority complex easily turns into the «God complex». Fear and pain turn into hatred and anger. The same way is here: inner sadomasochism easily turns a person into a sadist under some circumstances. People that were beaten and humiliated much, bully the weaker with particular pleasure and cruelty having got power.
In order to feel happy and contented with life it's important to find more reasons for joy and pleasure and fewer reasons for pain and negative emotions.
And it should be taken into account that the weight of any sources of «happiness» and «unhappiness» is relative. It may change with time or may differ among different people. Usually we appreciate something that we don't have more than what we have. That's why available happiness tends to lose its value while unavailable one gets more precious.
One can also be quite happy at the moment when it's possible to get away from various problems and difficulties that bring one pain and disappointments. If one gets what hurts out of the head and concentrates on what brings happiness, it gives the feeling of local happiness.
Not everything that we consider to be evil is evil indeed and what's good is not always good. The good means balance and justice, in the first place. The evil is what disturbs the balance and goes into extremes.
Many people, being full of pain and sorrow, however, put on masks to hide it: smile and pretend to be happy during day time and cry at night when no one sees. People don't like it when others see their weakness, sins or real nature...
When one doesn't have anything to eat, bread crust will make this person happy.
Moralists, like their antipodes (people are immoral), in essence, all people are extremely unfortunate... Because there are no extremes nor happiness, nor truth... only pain…
Nietzsche and other philosophers of the kind were fond of comparing pleasures with swinishness. Some may ask why. For example, if one built a house, grew a tree, painted a great picture or baked a nice pie. And now this person stands and sees the results of the work he or she did and feels great human pleasure. Constructive work brings the strongest satisfaction and pleasure. So what does this kind of pleasure have to do with swinishness?
And what does it have to do with swinishness when one joys in one's children success or when one is happy about hearing tender words from a beloved person... Nothing of the kind has anything to do with swinishness.
Swinishness takes place when one doesn't bind the sack before it's full and runs to extremes.
Among all human sins it's injustice that resembles swinishness most of all.
As is known, pain is the first symptom of a sin. And we also know that helplessness is a sin. But in order to gain power, it's necessary to feel pain, hence commit a sin. Thus, it takes another sin to conquer some sin. It's only Evil that is able to conquer Evil.
What if it's not the triumph of Evil over Evil but only Evil giving way to new Evil?
- Did I delude you? Should have I stopped a couple of lines earlier? Relax, it doesn't matter. The problem is not about evil or good but about disturbing the balance. Happiness is impossible without pain and good doesn't exist without evil. Too much of a good thing is not good. Forget the extremes and you'll be happy.
The existence of freedom in human society is impossible.
The reason is very trivial: People are too Strong. People are too Smart. People are too Weak. People are too Stupid.
Freedom sets strong smart predators free as well as silly weak hares. These hares won't be able to escape predators and will soon be eaten. When all hares disappear, predators will die of hunger too.
An attentive reader may ask: what about the balance in wildlife where hares and predators manage to survive? - The matter is that animal power is limited while human power is not. What's more, animal weakness is limited too and human weakness is not.
Of course, if humans didn't go to extremes that often, everything would be different. But we are who we are.
According to the law of extremes, extreme stupidity may take a step and become extreme wisdom. That's the explanation for the fact that something extremely stupid may turn out to be good.
It's always the same way: too early at first and too late later. The difference is that any «early» may bring success if one is lucky enough while any «too late» means it's useless to try.
When you arrive early, you can wait. But when you're late, you may only weep. A fruit plucked before it's ripe can ripen later while an overripe fruit is good for nothing.
The time line with the dot called «early» has enough other dots that can let one do one's part and then sleep well. But a straight line with the main dot called «it's time» has only dots «too late» after that.
It can be endlessly discussed why arriving on time is the best decision. But it should also be mentioned that the closer one gets to the dot called «it's time», the higher the probability to be late. Not to mention «Murphy's Law» that says - «The more a person realizes how late he or she is, the more obstacles and inconveniences will make things even worse».
The best strategy in this case is to do everything on time and avoid facing extremes.
