上蒼的補償：宇宙存在一種絕對平衡

你我給予的，即便不會直球回返，終將回返。常言道，口是禍福之門，怒燒功德林。怒生災，生氣是吃大虧的事。

宇宙的力量也好，上帝之手的安排也好，所有loss/trial 都必然會有等比的補償，失去亦或損失並不存在。難題背後必然有禮物。很多時候，今日的難題很可能為你我避開了餘生的大難題或大災難。

很多時候，老天不為難你我，是你我為難了自己。人生最大的損失是活在恐懼與憂慮中。

大切な人がいれば、美しい人生だよ。

守りたい人がいれば、幸せな人生だよ。

受けた優しさを忘れず。

人から受けた恩は石に刻め。

大切な人のために強くなる。

大切な人たちの守護天使になる。

恩は恩でしか返せない。

恩情只能以恩情報答。

Blind Spots in Thinking 

Blind spots in thinking arise due to various factors, including cognitive biases, limited perspectives, unconscious assumptions, and cultural or societal influences. 

Human minds are susceptible to cognitive biases, which are systematic errors in thinking that can distort perception and judgment. 

Confirmation bias means favoring information that confirms existing beliefs, which can create blind spots by filtering out contrary evidence or alternative perspectives. Confirmation bias may result in flawed decision-making, misinterpretation of information, and reinforcement of existing biases.

Each person's experiences, knowledge, and cultural background shape their perspective. However, these perspectives can be limited and influenced by personal biases, leading to blind spots. When individuals are unaware of alternative viewpoints or fail to consider them, they may overlook important information, misjudge situations, or fail to understand the experiences of others.

Unconscious assumptions are deeply ingrained beliefs or stereotypes that affect how individuals perceive and interpret information, which may lead to blind spots by distorting one's understanding of reality. Unexamined assumptions about race, job, or age can result in discrimination, stereotypes, and unfair judgments.

Cultural and societal norms, values, and expectations shape individuals' thinking patterns. While these influences are important for social cohesion, they can also create blind spots by reinforcing specific perspectives and limiting exposure to diverse ideas. This can lead to misunderstandings, conflicts, and discrimination when individuals fail to recognize or challenge their cultural or societal blind spots.

The consequences of blind spots in thinking can be significant and far-reaching:

Depression: Blind spots can contribute to negative thinking patterns and distort one's perception of oneself and the world. When individuals are unable to recognize their blind spots, they may develop negative self-talk, self-doubt, and feelings of inadequacy, which can contribute to depression.

Negative bias: Blind spots can lead to a negative bias, where individuals focus on and amplify negative information while downplaying or ignoring positive aspects. This biased thinking pattern can perpetuate a cycle of negativity, affecting one's mood, relationships, and overall well-being.

Misjudgment: Blind spots hinder accurate judgment by limiting the consideration of alternative viewpoints and relevant information. This can result in flawed decision-making, misunderstandings, and misinterpretation of others' intentions, leading to strained relationships and conflicts.

Misunderstanding and conflicts: Failure to recognize blind spots can result in misunderstandings and conflicts, as individuals may unintentionally disregard or invalidate others' experiences, perspectives, or emotions. This can strain relationships, create divisions, and hinder effective communication.

Discrimination: Blind spots rooted in biases and stereotypes can contribute to discrimination and unfair treatment of individuals or groups. When people are unable to recognize and challenge their biases, they may engage in discriminatory practices based on race, gender, ethnicity, or other factors, perpetuating inequality and social divisions.

Recognizing and addressing blind spots in thinking is crucial for personal growth, empathy, and effective decision-making. By cultivating self-awareness, actively seeking diverse perspectives,  and challenging assumptions, individuals can work towards reducing blind spots and promoting more accurate, inclusive, and compassionate thinking.

樂不可忘　恩不可忘　

與美好的人事物相遇，已經是無與倫比的幸運。有在乎的人，有可以守護的人，已經是莫大的幸運。認同的一切勇敢去努力追求過了，這樣，就已經是勝利了。

I Have More than I Deserve

There will be God's training and God's test, namely God's given trial. It's comforting to know that we are living in a world with God's protection and miracles. God's compensation never fails.  

取自芬蘭語。會選擇使用芬蘭語，是因為北歐國家芬蘭連續第6年被評定為「最幸福國家」，也就是最快樂的國家。在我成長的過程中，我的父親和只希望女兒日日快樂。我期望自己是使命必達的孩子，但日日快樂這一題，對於多數孩子不容易，在成人的世界裡，日日快樂恐怕比功成名就更困難。

不需要理由的快樂屬於最高級的奢侈品，因為快樂，你就會健康，健康氣色好，人就會是美麗的最大值！不快樂，是很昂貴的！因為不快樂的人，會生病，小病大病！一輩子不生病很難，但餘生不生大病，大概是所有人實踐財富自由的必修課。人們追求美食或旅遊或追求一段親密關係的背後動機都隱藏希望幸福快樂的理由。所以，不需要依賴美食或外在理由也能快樂的人，是最富有的人！在我眼裡看見的，成人世界裡最難入手的禮物／目標不是名牌或豪宅，居然是不需要理由的快樂。

情緒取決於觀點。關於快樂這一題，我一度希望在心理學與Bible找到答案，Bible裡有幫我找到一部分的答案，但同時歐美與亞洲的古典文學幫助我找到更多答案。一個理想社會的願景，應該說所有人都過得好，

佛教說口是禍福之門～怒燒功德林，聖經裡也提及類似的概念！布施有很多種，友善的眼神與言語也是一種布施。深信宇宙守恆定律，給予的一切往往不會直線回返，但終將回返！生命會給所有人試煉，但試煉背後必然有蒼天的禮物與等比的補償！繼續閱讀
