In the first posting, I wrote that I do not believe in any unchangeable things such as "God". On the other hand, I respect for cultures which are inspired by religion and beliefs about Gods because there are graceful arts which are created by "us" as human beings and nature. And the arts are changeable objects and they are with the moments but not everlasting beauties.
Everything has to face on death as the beginning of beauty. You are also one of them. Your fragile soul reflects to my verse instead of me who lost soul.
The following essay is that I wrote about my general mind about culture and religion before knowing "you".
We are easily controlled to be a slave by a cultural mind, to be determined a kind of live stocks like Maria, who was castrated by people who esteem for Jesus, require help by believing God that have two presences at once, human being and also God itself. When we consider what the most important point in our each cultures, we necessary have to establish how we have come under the influence of religion and furthermore we need to express our own vision obviously before we gather like barrows that pigs that are born to be eaten by us.
Of course, as I am telling you from the beginning of this essay, we cannot exclude religion, for most cultures include something religious sources and some of them are very beautiful and wonderful arts. People have kept creating the arts with the religions, for instance, churches, drawings, sculptures, literatures, and minds which were described by philosophers. In other words, even though Jesus is a freak of nature, it gives us a great impression and we inspire with itself to create something by ourselves like we have the extremes of sadness and joy in our soul.
Even Nietzsche couldn't have materialized his philosophy without Jesus -- on the assumption that the philosophy was not only for against the religion-- He indeed hated a ordinary people who need help from a perfect presence and hoped that all the dazzling greatest arts must be shown for only people who are sagacious, intellectual, phenomenal, and therefore a man of great resolution like himself. However, on the other hand, his philosophy was inspired by Jesus strongly. Oh, Zarathustra! I am sure you eventually couldn't elude a weakness you still had, from a jail which was called mother earth. Thus, if we don't doubt or not doing looking for a answer from questions, suspicions, and wraths, we cannot find any answer and moreover if we don't have any weak point in our core of the truth and we don't realize about that, we will never know what the real strong. I'll give you a notice that it is the only way to live here and to identify yourself to others. When you discontinue doing them, it means that you abandon everything you require to exist here or rather you are already died.
Things that are called "God" are not only Jesus but also Buddha, Allah, and elements. And some people think that natural phenomena are strength of will of them. Others think that it is only the source of nature. Considering with this interesting topic what the difference between them and the connections will be fun, though, it is another story.
Now, get to the point to demonstrate the relationship between religion and culture. Cultures in Asian countries have very profound and significant back ground with religions and they are subtly different by each country, landforms.
Chinese culture is one of the countries that has a original culture, had given a great influence on other countries, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, India, and Tibet since two hundreds decades or more. I give three examples to establish the differences and the similarities of their cultures that the connection between China and Korea with a classic Chinese story, China, Korea, and Japan, therefore the difference between the continent and on the island, and God of Tibet with animal desire.
There is a similarity between Korean culture and Chinese culture from a lot of sides. For instance, pictures which were drawn on the wall of temples and castles have thought that were designed with a few symbol of the strongest animals that people thought, tiger, serpent, and dragon, with various bright colors because these animals have been believed as the Gods by them. Also, the bodies of these buildings are usually painted red. In those days, Most Asian artists had visualized that red is the most passionate and strong color more than other colors whatever you image, and dark colors like black were frequently avoided. About a hundred sixteen decades ago, the estate where there were known as China and Korea, including other Asian countries, was built some dynasties and laid the foundation of a warlike nation. By the time, their cultures had changed the form a little by little as art for the cultures with the relationship and many battles for their pride although they still have a resemblance. Furthermore, we can see some stone statues of the characters of "西遊記 Xi You Ji ", the famous Chinese story, which was written in sixteen century, the main character, Sun Wukong, is known as one of Gods with Taoism, on the top of the roof of temples or castles in Korea, like Gyeongbokgung, Changdeok, and Jongmyo. Like this, the relationship between China and Korea is rich with every interest.
Still, I sometimes heard that people are talking about the relationship between Japan and other Asian countries are very serious with the historical background, especially after Second World War. This problem is including the contradiction between assailant and victim. To be victim is easier than assailant because they can escape using compassion from society, in addition, the truth is often adjudged by winner and discovered by the bitter falsehood even though something that we must not destroy have to ruin by the way of which there is no empty beauty. Kyoto, one of famous historical city in Japan, is only place that American troops didn't attack because of the beautiful heritage even though they could bomb other cities of Japan, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Tokyo, Okinawa, etc, have been a symbol of Japanese history and also an good example when we compare with Japanese culture and Chinese, Korean, and other Asian countries themselves. Japanese culture displays a empty beauty and pathos deeply. Most historical buildings, drawings, every material in Japan are very simplicity and we have seldom seen that there are colored red like Korean castles and temples. Japanese culture was influenced by Asian continental cultures strongly and we can see some similarities the inside, however, Japanese created something different kind of beauty from them. Japan is a small island, not belong to the continent. And the art for culture occasionally make me realize that life is empty dream like them in solitude.
We think most of all that we believe as God have a sacred symbolize, however, some drawings of God of Tibet were painted the God have sex with a few women with dirty laughing. In Tibet and the surrounding country, it is common because some of them know the symbolize, including religious mark as God were created by human people, a person whom I met in Rubin Museum in NY, which is in possession of a good collections with Asian culture, including the east-southeast Asian countries, said. And also, They usually have a pen and a paper for us to portray by ourselves seeing the drawings. I think that it is a wonderful idea because if we made something even though that is made from others as original, something new will appear. Like Appetite, sleep, and itch of the life of people, Sexual desire is also one of the strongest manifestations of emotions. All we have needed to get a satisfaction in our life and something is lacking for a full realization is always core of religion and thus we always have been bringing the model up to date like the dawn breaks.
Religion is culture as the symbol what we want to believe and don't have yet. And everything is created from our mind we hope strongly. We cannot stop time goes by and we have to keep losing something with time instead of imaging the new world.
