As it is not a perfectly consistent theory, there is a generally recognized belief that how magnificent the wealth of a person or country is, it does not go beyond the third generation.
What is the first sign of its weakening? It is thought the time when the divorced couples and singles increase. The abnormalities of marriage and family certainly make the society stressful and aggressive on another. Though it is disliked to accept for the collapse of families to lower the competitiveness of a country, it is an undeniable truth.
Prof. Hyeon Yong-Su, Tamud’s pundit, published a new book titled, “The Secret of One Body As a Man and a Woman That the Bible Explains”. He studied how to reduce the divorce rates for a long time. This new book is the conclusion of his long efforts and thinking about how to choose the spouse that would not take apart.
First of all, he introduced an ideal bride, referred in the traditional Jewish communities. An ideal bride is required the three characteristics, sympathy, faithfulness, kindness.
He modernized the Talmudic wisdom and Biblical teachings to the seven conditions for the spouse:
1. Match the belief of religion.
2. Choose the spouse that has the same spiritual and emotional levels.
3. See the character.
4. Place importance on sincerity and abilities within a man, internal beauty within a woman.
5. Look for the spouse who has learned a musical instrument, calligraphy, and tea ceremony.
6. Consider your coming child’s appearance, body, and mind.
7. Avoid such the mate who is easily enticed by skinship.
President Obama recently endorsed same-sex marriage. The issue of gay marriage in the U.S.A. seems to be decorated with the value of human rights or progressiveness. Obviously we humans seem to walk beyond the ‘dangerous’ line the God cannot persevere. It came out that the God might choose the other nations unknown to us. (The end)

The Real Crises of Europe Have Come
French people rejected the austerity. If they had chosen Sarkozy, France and Europe economy will have clearly recovered in the present mire though in a slow pace.
Now the fate of France, Greece, and Europe is proceeding in the deeper darkness, and each of EU members is going to struggle to survive for self.
Honestly, I thought that French people would be different from the Greek. The result was the same, though Hollande won over Sarkozy in a small votes.
Generally people don’t see themselves. Physically seeing the self is impossible, whether the local people know the scenes and problems very well or not. This is a matter of judgment and angle, also concerned with psychological unrest. Therefore, outsiders’ advices are beneficial to the people concerned. It is not a matter of the world leadership, great pride of the French Revolution. You have to open your ears as a patient listens to a doctor’s words.
What do you think of the ‘Austerity’? The austerity is not a punishment, but a sour medicine, which is surely going to heal the patients. You have spent too much on basis of your income. Your vacation was too long. I think the Austerity is a kind of ‘dieting’ for the obese persons. It is not a complicated, humiliating problem. Nonetheless, the French conducted themselves emotionally and, furiously.
Hollande, in his campaign, promised to hire teachers and raise taxes on the wealthy. Teachers are the typical cause of over-budgets, In the Internet and green-economy age, teachers should be diminished and rearranged to the other value-added industries. And the wealthy are not the cause of the present economic crises. Generally the wealthy are working during the vacation, while the middle-leveled people are enjoying it freely and lightly. If the government raises the taxes on the wealthy, they enjoy the vacation the same time as the middle, without innovating businesses. The burdens on the wealthy will lead to the thin pockets of the general people.
After French and Greek elections, many experts’ tone on the media seemed different, looked like more rhetoric, less antagonistic. Why? The outsiders who will be also affected by the European economy are beginning to distance them to protect their interest. The experts are thinking they do not need to have awkward relationships with Europe, which would be fallen behind the normality. (The end)

We Produce 'Culture'?
A Korea’s big company announced its slogan recently, ‘We Produce Culture’. Seeing the announcement, I felt a little nauseous and disgusting. It is awful that commercialism makes use of ‘culture’ impudently in this way.
If you produce ‘culture’, a singer, film director, actor, author, philosopher, conductor are your workers?
The meaning and scope of ‘Culture’ cover all lifestyles, philosophy, science, engineering, factory, cities, races, folklores, etc. Culture is analogous to an almost all-fit key. So a pseudo-intellect is apt to be packed an expert in culture. But, it is nonsense to say that he/she is identified as an expert in culture. Because one person cannot nearly cover and know ‘culture’. I do not say there never exist such persons reaching it. Becoming an expert in culture is really similar with being a calm, full but humble, cool state obtained after the long journey of storm and stress.
What is most ‘cultural’? If anyone has three features such as variety, humility, uniqueness at the same time, we can call him ‘cultural’. ‘Culture’ is a state, organism, phenomenon, not a product to be made.
So ‘culture’ is ‘how to deal with and be applied’, not ‘how to produce.’ Culture is a living being, characteristic of ‘change’, ‘structure’, and ‘interrelation’.
If we produce a commodity or offer a service, we have to match the cultural factors concerned with it. Of course, we should not ignore the moves of the whole culture.
Culture has the opposite forces, to change and to keep order. These conflicts are combined with the other forces and the larger surrounding ones such that the grades of the change are determined and different respectively at the time and space.
Culture can be said ‘long-term based climate’ and ‘daily based weather’. Therefore, as we are not able to control the climate and weather, we do not produce ‘culture’. To do best is only to accept and exploit it with good heart. (The end)

Do You Know Great Power's Disease?
All the countries and people are mesmerized by the enormous sizes and fastest speed of Chinese economic achievements. The secret of the magnificent growth considerably lies in the huge sizes, which make grow other companies and industries consecutively, and moreover one another. As a result, the Chinese economy is building colossal skyscrapers, gigantic cranes-lined docks, immense manufacturing districts, etc. Historically, such the Chinese advance velocity and volumes seems unimaginably massive more than the ones of the emerging U.S.A economy in the early 20th century.
However, there is an important difference between today’s China and the rising U.S.A of the early 20th century. The new U.S.A had the Puritan morality more than the old Europe, while China does not have such a moral excellence that the other countries give respect to.
Such Chinese economic growth gives fears to neighboring countries, because they are increasing military power and generate territorial conflicts overtly.
Chinese threatening power is putting the neighboring countries in the situation strengthening military relationship with the U.S.A.
In fact, ‘greatness’ itself could be a poison to them owning it. ‘Greatness’ means ‘above appropriateness’, therefore, it leads to unnecessary costs. The weakening of the U.S.A. is nothing but the accumulation of unnecessary costs such as a series of wars and maintenance of great power.
Physically ‘greatness’ means the distancing of networks and focusing on the central point, therefore as it goes on and on, its inefficiency and ineffectiveness loom up gradually.
So, I give advice to you the next: Slow down the speed, and enjoy the power slowly, getting well along with neighbors.
In Europe, the three big powers of Great Britain, France, and Germany experienced the two World Wars, being in search of the forever empirism. The U.S.A and Russia also have had little peace even after the Second World War.
'Greatness’, ‘Racism’, ‘Nationalism’ and ‘Patriotism’ only require huge blood and sacrifices in exchange of ephemeral self-respect.
In the 21st century, we must discard the win-or-lose mindset inherited from the 20th century. Let us all live together and solve the climatic catastrophe. A small island like a palm is really important to fight for each other? Pumping up oil in the sea contributes to its grass rooters’ well-being? If so, Russian people must have been the richest in the world. Natural resources should form a very few oligarchs, regardless of the general people.
Our global citizens must drive out the bad politicians, irresponsible instigators, and wicked ideologues. (The end)

Big Data? Do not Deceive the Mass again
Pascal said in his book ‘Pensees’, “Man is only a reed, the weakest in nature, but he is a thinking reed.”
In the Eastern thinking frame, a human is assumed a small universe, compared with the nature, the great universe.
It seemed there are many levels of scientists, from sublime ones to businessperson-like ones. The businessperson-like ones endeavor to exploit the results of more basic theories for making big money.
We don’t negate the profitability of the commodities and services produced out of scientific researches, and have no intention criticizing about them. But we could not see that they exaggerate the commercial possibilities before the ‘credulous’ mass.
Big Data? Baloney! It is argued that Big Data can know all the consumers’ minds. It could be patient to argue that part of consumers’ minds can only be identified momentarily or in a very short-term. That’s it. Do not cross the line. Humans are affected by several factors like ‘reeds’, and moreover have their own wills.
It is surmised that all information among all peoples on the earth are collected and can be analyzed meaningfully, and predict their consuming conducts exactly. Is it possible? In my opinion, it is certain that all the information is just a sum of ‘rubbishes’. If Big Data technology is able to know the minds of all the consumers, the universe does not surely keep its order or exist for a few seconds.
The other day a few of colleagues invited me to have a lunch. They over-drank alcoholic liquors over eating, only talking about making money and complaining corporate politics. Generally, we forget having enough to live on daily and humbly thanking for them. Businessperson-like scientists are full of big bang of making money, materialism, marketing-centralism, and media attention. Their excessive desires tarnish the intelligence and reason, as the much liquors hypnotized my colleagues.
In addition, there is one thing which we have to indicate. That is personal privacy. Why does a company collect all the information of one person? By what right do they amass individual words, emails, chatting contents, etc. (The end)

The Age of Excess
The world’s financial crises derived from the Wall Street were, as known to everyone, due to greed of bankers and investors. The agonizing European economic difficulties are also owed to excessive welfare systems made by ‘populists’ politicians, and the people spent the ‘free’ budget without guilt or concerns.
Today modern persons, especially in the developed countries and middle-leveled countries like South Korea, consume all products and services extravagantly. Their consumption is boosted by ads and PR by way of the media. The media give an illusion to the general people that they might become like stars. Internet and mobile let the consumers’ purses exhaustively hollow.
It is assumed that companies themselves are riding one-wheel cycle of growing. If they stop growing, some economists say that the companies should fall to the ground immediately like one cycle. They claim that ‘maintenance’ is ‘retreat’. Is that right?
In a short-term, the claim might be logical, but any country keeping economic growth is possible? Moreover, almost all of the countries on the earth are presently running toward the economic growth. The outcome of growth is the excessive uses of natural resources and tremendous pollution, as we see the evidence in the melting Arctic and Antarctic poles. Really considerable economists conduct themselves like false prophets.
On walking in the park, I saw a dog with its owner. It looked safe and happy compared with the wild beasts. The dog does not need to be hungry and attacked to death. The owner gives meals and shelter to the dog every day. The wild animals have to keep hunting or eating something for survival. The God gives meals enough to live with dignity as long as we work sincerely and make a living decently. Nonetheless we are crazy to eat and spend too much, forgetting our already known instructions. Behaving ourselves like wild beasts, ironically, we feel ‘excessive unrest’ .
Stop growing does not imply stopping work. We can imagine ‘sublime life style’ and ‘empathy thoughts’ living with other peoples, animals, and nature together.
Luxury brands and expensive supper make your minds feel stable? Say to your inner mind loudly, ‘No!’. Greed will lead to more thirst. (The end)

What the Incident of Bo Xilai and Gu Kailai teaches
What the Incident of Bo Xilai and Gu Kailai teaches
Today we around the world see the deepest downfall of a famous powerful couple. It is as much dramatic as the movie-like personal lives of the couple overlapped with the contradiction of the rising Chinese power system.
As Bo Xilai’s father was purged from all the positions during the Cultural Revolution, he had also experienced sufferings in the countryside in his adolescent teen age, estranged from the prestigious high school in Beijing. After the Death of Mao Zedong, his father, Bo Yibo, was rehabilitated and held vice premier to the peak,
Bo Xilai showed his ability markedly during the mayoral office of Dalian City. But he deserted his first wife, the taboo of Eastern Confucian customs. Also he seemed to go against the main stream, running the Red Culture movement. Especially, his style seemed to remind the present opposite power group of the past fearful and ominous foreboding of the Cultural Revolution.
Certainly the Authorities will expose the truth and a few causes in detail. The Chinese political recruitment for the Politburo has been a mystery for a long time to the outside. Bo’s incident shed light on the dark side of the Politburo and members. What are its implications to us?
It is, one person should not have both political power and wealth simultaneously. Because what the politicians earn much money means they use their power of the official positions and networks, make unfair or arbitrary implementation of regulation and law.
Business as a tool of surviving or secular success has a nature of a living organism, which exploits the most advantageous and efficient one among all the resources available. If the political power (which is in fact most effective) is mostly available for the business persons, the profitable model is naturally developed into the political power-centered connections.
In the democratic societies, too, the scandals like this kind of incidents sometimes break out. In Korea, now two big figures who are reckoned respectively mentor and former powerful assistant close to the contemporary President are being investigated in suspect of bribery by the Prosecution.
There is nothing but transparency for the solution. The transparency is to check and balance among the political powers, and freedom of speech and publishing.
If the bad connections are not revealed in public and cut out at the earlier stage, the connections are institutionalized and proceeded in a criminal phase. (The end)
