Thread


What made me feel a bit sad while reading the Thread was that it felt similar to when I watched shorts. What I’m seeing, hearing, and eating right now is probably what my future self will look like—but the world is dominated entirely by these very short clips and reads that have no narrative. It feels like we’re heading toward a world where building something step by step from the beginning is almost impossible. A world where everyone is just waiting for a meal that’s already been cooked.

The World of C.S. Lewis

Image
Clive Staples Lewis (1898–1963) A British literary scholar, Christian apologist, and fantasy writer. C. S. Lewis was “a man who understood God with reason and felt Him with imagination.” Once an atheist in his youth, he journeyed through war and suffering, philosophy and literature, ultimately arriving at faith. He became one of the greatest thinkers and storytellers of the 20th century, building bridges between reason and belief, pain and hope, reality and fantasy. Childhood and the Beginning of Imagination He came from a cultured middle-class family. His father, Albert, was a solicitor, and his mother, Florence, an educated woman, taught Lewis both mathematics and literature.  From early childhood, Lewis was a boy rich in imagination. Together with his older brother Warren, he created an imaginary kingdom called “Boxen,” inventing stories and drawing maps for it.  However, in 1908, at the young age of nine, he suffered a great loss when his mother died of peritonitis.

Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis) 06 - Chapter 4. What Lies Behind the Law

Image
Part 1. Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe Chapter 4.  What Lies Behind the Law In Chapter 4, C.S. Lewis takes the clue established earlier—the "Law of Human Nature" (the Moral Law)—and poses the most fundamental question about the universe: "What lies behind this law?" Through this question, he logically explores what the inner moral law we experience tells us about the nature of the universe. Two Views and the Limits of Science Lewis begins his discussion by presenting two major views that explain the universe. One is the materialist view, which holds that everything is the product of matter and chance. The other is the religious view, which posits that there is an intelligence and purpose behind the universe. Lewis reminds us that these two views have always coexisted since ancient times, dismissing the prejudice that one is more "modern" than the other. He avoids the old, exhaustive confrontation of "science versus religion...

Friedrich Nietzsche *0007

Image
Annotation #0007 I totally get why he was hugging that horse with a heartbroken look on his face—honestly, same. But of course, people just said, “Yup, he’s finally lost it.” Well… to be fair, he  did  show signs of madness after that and eventually passed away. It’s pretty fascinating that Nietzsche —a nine-letter German word—can be pronounced in just two syllables in Korean. What kind of sorcery is that? If you're not careful, you might overdo it and read it in a pompous way, like “Ni-e-cheu-she,” pretending to sound sophisticated. In the early 18th century, Immanuel Kant’s philosophy completely scrambled people’s way of thinking. It was notoriously difficult. All I really remember is that he flipped the relationship between the subject and the object of perception. In other words, the subject's way of perceiving determines how the object (be it a thing or existence) is understood. Depending on how the perceiver thinks, even the universe itself could be a completely dif...

Summary and Reflection on Romans Chapter 8

Image
Romans 8 declares five core principles of Christian life—No Condemnation, Life in the Spirit, Identity as God’s Children, Redeemed Suffering, and Inseparable Love . Through C. S. Lewis’s insights, and Scripture, this message shows how these truths operate powerfully in our daily walk. It doesn’t end in understanding but invites us into a lived transformation. 1. No Condemnation – A New Beginning of Freedom “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1). This is not just a statement but a triumphant shout of the gospel that God has broken the chains of guilt. Many live under the burden of past sins and failures, but God has set us free. Paul does not present the absence of condemnation as a mere doctrine, but as a life-transforming reality. Because of Christ’s sacrifice, the penalty we deserved has been paid. Guilt no longer defines us—grace gives us our new name. C.S. Lewis once wrote, “The real challenge of Christian faith...

Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis) 05 - Chapter 3. The Reality of the Law

Image
Part 1. Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe Chapter 3.  The Reality of the Law In Chapter 3 of Mere Christianity , titled "The Reality of the Law," C.S. Lewis argues for the objective reality of the Law of Human Nature (the Moral Law), demonstrating that it is neither a mere custom nor a personal feeling. He returns to the two facts mentioned in the first chapter—that humans know the law of how they ought to behave, yet they fail to actually live by it—to delve deeply into the meaning of this discrepancy. Two Kinds of Laws The core of the chapter begins with a clear distinction Lewis makes between two kinds of "laws." The first is the "Law of Nature," such as the law of gravity, which simply describes how things actually behave. This law offers no choice; a stone does not contemplate whether to "obey" gravity, it simply falls. Thus, such a law is merely another way of stating "what things always do." "Of course...
