Learning is the process of breaking away from existing perceptions and embracing the new. It is not mere acquisition but a momentum for growth, a force that drives us toward change rather than settling in familiarity. We must constantly learn and be wary of falling into stagnation. By looking beyond simple objects, human relationships, and the deeper essence of phenomena, we can discover unseen truths and wisdom. Children are creative because they observe the world with curiosity and learn without fear. Their energy is directed not toward familiarity but toward novelty—that is the essence of learning.
The thought patterns we once took for granted and the customs we once deemed untouchable have gradually crumbled. This is the power of learning, guiding us toward a better direction. However, such changes are not always inherently right. Recently, I have learned the true meaning of responsibility.
There are those who rush to finish tasks on time and those who abandon their work as soon as the clock runs out. Both groups act in pursuit of their own interests. Yet, in the end, it is the responsible people who clean up the unfinished mess. They take on tasks they were never obligated to do, sacrificing themselves to bring things to completion. There may be compensation, but it is merely a reward for handling burdens that should not have been theirs in the first place. Their sacrifices should never be treated as a given.
There are always two opposing extremes. They clash and fight, each driven by self-interest. And when the dust settles, it is the people in the middle who are left to clear the ruins. These quiet individuals bear the weight of maintaining the world, yet the rewards and benefits always seem to go to those who endlessly engage in conflict.
I detest this paradigm. I despise a reality where the outcomes of struggles always serve the interests of the few, while sacrifices are consistently demanded from the good-hearted. We must no longer accept this structure as inevitable. The energy of learning should not stop at dismantling the old but must extend to building new orders—ones where sacrifice is not taken for granted.
The world I envision is one where the weak are not exploited or used. A world where good people are not expected to suffer but are instead protected and allowed to live with dignity. A world where endless cycles of conflict and division are replaced by a fair and just force that leads us toward a better future.
Ultimately, learning must be an unending pursuit of a better world. And the answer is not found in sacrifice, but in the power of transformation.
