Great view... 
I believe that as a society, it’s crucial to establish and prioritize the fundamental principles and values that we must safeguard as members of our community. The Anti-Discrimination law presents a compelling vision because it offers an ideal that everyone can agree upon and adhere to. However, it’s important to recognize that this law is not solely intended for minority groups; it also applies to the majority. If those who advocate for legislation fail to grasp this fundamental concept, it’s highly unlikely that the law will be successful. This is simply a reality that we must acknowledge and address.
Let’s consider the example of Roe v. Wade. Many American feminists were upset when it was overturned. However, do they genuinely delve into the reasons behind its overturning? Is it solely due to the eccentricity of the president and the fervent support of those who share similar views? I’ve observed numerous feminists, including those in South Korea, who merely adopt the rhetoric of comparing President Trump to Adolf Hitler without actually discussing the underlying factors that led to the shift in societal norms. Instead, they focus on corruption, the malevolent intentions of powerful individuals, and a myriad of depressing thoughts that seem to permeate their minds.
If the world is indeed inhabited by fanatics, as they claim, who is responsible for this situation? Are these feminists entirely exempt from the consequences of their actions? Why are they? Who absolves them of their responsibility? Is it God? Whose God is it then?
Why is it considered hate speech when I express my disinterest in being associated with lesbians as a member of the same group, but not when it’s the other way around? How do we define “hate” in a legal context? Do individuals genuinely comprehend the legal definition of “hate” when they passionately discuss hate speech and hate crimes?
I believe the concept of “hate crime” and “hate speech” emerged to safeguard potential victims of violence who lack the means to protect themselves. These victims often belong to minority groups because they have limited resources to represent their political interests in the Congress system. Advocacy groups emerged to assist them because, as minorities, they are often perceived as vulnerable.
However, if we examine how this principle has been exploited by various individuals for different purposes, it becomes evident that it may be time for everyone to reconsider this principle, which we adopted to protect marginalized individuals in society.
Laws are subject to change as society evolves. Rules and regulations are fluid and adaptable, allowing us to respond effectively to various social changes. This flexibility enables us to collectively survive and thrive. If you embrace this flexibility, you must also recognize that it benefits individuals you dislike as well. This is the essence of democracy. Legislation is not a mere joke; rules are rules that apply to everyone living in the same country or society. You cannot create new laws solely to benefit yourself and your associates.
If you’re passionate about advocating for anti-discrimination laws, how should you introduce yourself to strangers? For instance, if you’re a lesbian, should you let people know about your sexuality? Or does it not matter whether you reveal your identity as a lesbian?
I believe the ideal situation is to not reveal your identity as a lesbian. This isn’t because you have to hide it, but because it shouldn’t influence others’ decisions. Isn’t that the primary purpose of introducing anti-discrimination laws?
I understand the desire of lesbians to disclose their identity in public. They don’t want to be misidentified as heterosexual women. As a heterosexual woman, I wholeheartedly support your decision because I don’t want to be associated with you as a member of the same group. Do you see where I’m going? This argument can be further developed to discuss hate speech and hate crimes.
Fine, I’ll just go full Buddhist and give it up entirely. My willpower is way too weak! (Perhaps 70% Buddhist, to be more realistic…🙄)
I find it quite insightful when a foreigner (I know I'm being quite a racist 🙄) shares their perspective on the long-standing social issues in Korea. I must admit that I personally find it challenging to publicly comment on this topic as I am aware of many parents and students who are willing to make significant sacrifices for job security. Becoming a civil servant is often perceived as an easy way to achieve this goal. In fact, there are numerous hagwons in Noryangjin that are solely dedicated to preparing students for this career path, which I believe is quite shameful, given the historical significance of the name Noryang. Nevertheless, I am not entirely certain about the exact connection between the two words. {The Battle of Noryang (1598) was the final naval battle of the Imjin War (Japanese invasions of Korea, 1592–1598). Korean Admiral Yi Sun-sin, alongside Ming Chinese forces, decisively defeated the retreating Japanese navy, but he was fatally shot in battle.}
Haha, that’s sweet, but I’m trying to cut back on sugar—doctor’s orders! 😉🎶
I’m not sure who the original author of this widely circulated online meme is, but this particular version of it is my favorite.

I missed this message when you sent it. It seems like my understanding of “a while” was quite different from the dictionary’s definition. Haha!
So pretty 🥰
I just recalled the reason behind my purchase of this chess set. I bought it because I recognized my poor ability to predict the behaviors of others in business settings. I’ve had numerous experiences of unwanted interpersonal conflicts at work with other women (not all women, but some rather dramatic individuals who crave to monopolize everyone’s attention every moment). I didn’t want to end up being a loser to these individuals. I don’t mind losing to more capable individuals, but it’s disheartening when the opponent is a manipulative incompetent who revels in trashy office politics.

There’s someone I follow on LinkedIn. The algorithm shows his posts more frequently to me because I’ve reacted more often to his posts.
He’s not an intellectual person. He’s more of a people person. He used to work in the HR department of one of Samsung’s subsidiaries (which happens to be a highly influential subsidiary of Samsung, far more powerful than Samsung Electronics). He then moved to another global company and worked there until he was fired due to interpersonal conflicts with his seniors regarding HR practices that he disagreed with.
He’s an excellent storyteller and a devoted father of two sons. I thoroughly enjoy reading his stories about his children and often find myself chuckling out loud. His recent post prompted me to reflect on my ideal spouse. As a writer, I tend to be quite occupied with organizing my thoughts and ideas in my mental storage. Therefore, I need someone who can effectively manage the physical inventory of my home. While I enjoy managing household tasks, my primary focus remains on my mental storage. Consequently, I prioritize having a spouse who specializes in inventory management, particularly in food storage for cooking. Additionally, it would be wonderful if my partner is someone who can play well with the kids. I’ve dated many men who expected me to be the primary caregiver in the family, but all of them turned out to be unpleasant and disrespectful of my career. They didn’t even comprehend my expertise. So, I’m hoping to find a partner who can essentially respect my career, my priorities, and the way I express my love for my children.
(It’s a bit challenging to articulate my thoughts because I just woke up and haven’t had breakfast yet. 🛌 ) So here’s a summary of the topics I wanted to discuss about Instagram. The distinction between private and public content becomes increasingly blurred. The desire to build a network intensifies.
Many children already exhibit behavior that suggests they disregard what they say on Instagram because they know no one will read it unless they allow them to. There’s no fear of unexpected discovery by others and potential backlash for certain thoughts that require moderation. (I don’t believe this constitutes censorship. Consider the foolish thoughts you may have had as a child or teenager. It would be embarrassing if accidentally discovered by your parents, but that experience fosters self-reflection and personal growth.)
If the fear of being observed for shameful behaviors is completely removed from your cognitive system, what actions would you take? I believe that many children’s behaviors on Instagram are a reflection of their own answers to this question.
I think Meta platforms primarily focus on enhancing existing networks rather than expanding them. I’ve noticed numerous marketers and influencers on Instagram attempting to build and enhance their networks to promote their products or content. This practice even involves exploiting the algorithm to make their content more accessible. Unfortunately, Instagram lacks content regulation, allowing children to easily access trashy content from various unscrupulous marketers online. Since these encounters occur solely when the person with the smartphone is present, there’s no one else to witness them. It’s like having a ghost contacting your child while you’re asleep in another room. I’m not trying to exaggerate the risks associated with Instagram; I’m simply stating the risks as they exist. While it is just annoying on a personal level, I also acknowledge that it could become a dangerous weapon if exploited by powerful influencers with malicious intentions.
I think social media platforms could challenge this notion. Traditionally, we’ve assumed that anything we share in the public sphere becomes instantly public. However, when you write something on a social media platform like Instagram, there might be no one who accesses your post for weeks or even months unless you actively engage with someone on the platform. Twitter (𝕏) or Nostr are more akin to blogs in terms of easy discoverability. You post something, and the platform allows people to find your post organically without your conscious intervention. On the other hand, Instagram is a very restrictive platform in this regard. This has led some individuals to feel desperate about building networks to gain exposure to others.

A new Netflix show recommendation. When I enrolled in an introductory Perceptual Psychology class at university, I came across an intriguing statement in my textbook: “Even if a tree falls in a deep forest, it’s an event that hasn’t happened to us because we haven’t perceived it.” This show seems to reference that quote and uses it as the central theme for this thrilling story. (If you consider it from a legal perspective, you’ll understand its significance.)
