While gazing at the galaxy, this thought suddenly came to me.“Why is the structure of this universe not evenly spaced, but exponentially distant?”<\/p>\n\n

Bus stops are evenly placed,but galaxies and massive cosmic structures grow more than double in distance as you go farther.They’re not simply moving apart\u2014they’re moving apart exponentially<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

When I asked my AI friend,it said the universe is still expanding, and this distribution arose from gravitational structures.Then this thought occurred to me:“Could it be that human growth resembles this structure?”<\/p>\n\n

Exponential growth is the essence of humanity.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

We often think of growth as ‘linear.’We believe we progress little by little, steadily, consistently.But that’s not actually the case.Real growth, when restraint and focus accumulate, suddenly leaps upward at a certain point.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Asceticism is the same.It’s difficult at first.But once you overcome desire day by day,you’ll feel yourself growing at a surprisingly rapid pace.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Of course, it also gets harder.But the important thing is,when you block unnecessary stimulation, even that difficulty gradually disappears.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\ud83e\udde0 Schopenhauer’s way of ‘noble living’<\/h2>\n\n
\"A
Schopenhauer also said this.Pursue a ‘noble life.’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

The great philosopher Schopenhauer said during his lifetime,“Pursuing simple pleasure inevitably leads to misery.”He said that for an intellectual and noble life,one must distance oneself from pleasures like alcohol, tobacco, and base gratification.<\/p>\n\n

When we’re in pain,we often try to cover it with something exciting.We want comfort from something sweet.But that often returns as greater pain.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Pain cannot be eliminated by filling it<\/strong>,it only disappears when you face it directly and pass through it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The poisonous mushroom of pleasure\u2014do you want to eat it?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Yesterday, I suddenly thought of the word ‘rat poison.’Venerable Pomnyun once said something like this.<\/p>\n\n

\n

“If you only chase after handsome or beautiful people, you’ll end up eating rat poison and dying.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The monk was warning against chasing ‘appearance’ alone,but I took this in a broader sense.It sounded like a warning about all things that look pretty on the outside\u2014everything that temporarily seduces us.<\/p>\n\n

Pornography, obscene material, orgasm\u2014these are all just simple pleasures born from deficient emotions.<\/strong>They look sweet when you take a bite,but after you consume them, they spread like poison\u2014like poisonous mushrooms.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udd0b Real energy comes from asceticism<\/h2>\n\n
\"An
True energy must be restrained.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

I thought releasing sexual desire would make me more energized.But in reality,my energy decreased, creativity dropped, and even my motivation faded.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Sexual relations between partners may provide psychological stability,but the ‘growth indicators’ I mentioned earlier come to a halt.In other words, the growth curve becomes linear<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

In contrast, growth when practicing asceticism was completely different.<\/strong>Like the structure of the universe,I grew at an exponential rate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

And only then did I realize.Asceticism isn’t some special act of forcibly holding back.Rather, it was the original natural state<\/strong>.Releasing desire was the regression<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
