#nonactivity

[philosophybits]

I take inaction to be true happiness, but ordinary people think it is a bitter thing. I say: the highest happiness has no happiness, the highest praise has no praise. The world can’t decide what is right and what is wrong. And yet inaction can decide this. ... Let me try putting it this way. The inaction of Heaven is its purity, the inaction of earth is its peace. So the two inactions combine, and all things are transformed and brought to birth. Wonderfully, mysteriously, there is no place they come out of. Mysteriously, wonderfully, they have no sign. Each thing minds its business, and all grow up out of inaction. So I say, Heaven and earth do nothing, and there is nothing that is not done.

This state of 'no-mind' exists, as it were, on a knife-edge between the carelessness of the average sensual man and the strained over-eagerness of the zealot for salvation. To achieve it, one must walk delicately and, to maintain it, must learn to combine the most intense alertness with a tranquil and self-denying passivity, the most indomitable determination with a perfect submission to the leadings of the spirit.

I'm going to be honest liking art without reblogging it doesn't make you The Devil but it IS rude annoying and discouraging and you just have to deal with that. it's a rude thing to do. you don't have to make some big deal defending yourself no one's calling you out no one's even asking for your reasons. all anyone in the world is even politely requesting of you is to Not click a button

i kind of feel like ctd might not have that much money. i'm super pissed abt them editing hyeju and not responding to the hyunjin rumors but i also think that them going on tour right as the first album came out could be a sign that they were trying to get more money to cover the startup costs n stuff. like i don't know much abt ctds financial status but i feel like them being a bit broke would explain some of their habits idk though!

They def dont have a lot of capital but after 70,000+ sales it should be a lot better for next cycle. Speaking of the editing, I'm pretty sure that was another cost saving thing of them getting someone out of house to do it for cheap, hence the depersonalised, disrespectful editing...

[cupcraft]

Well I feel comfortable talking about it now but I do find it crazy how for a while there was anon gossip there was about how "childish" I supposedly am and how it's crazy I'm a grad student because of that. 😭

[toddstool]

how hard is it to not post art when you don't know or have no way of crediting the artist?

[philosophybits]

The sage is devoted to non-action, moves without teaching, creates ten thousand things without instruction, lives but does not own, acts but does not presume, accomplishes without taking credit. When no credit is taken, accomplishment endures.

Laozi, Daodejing, Addiss & Lombardo tr. (Ch 2)

If one worked with positive potency, one would stand at the mercy of the object and be completely passive. Paradoxically, hyperactivity represents an extremely passive form of doing, which bars the possibility of free action. It is based on positive potency that has been made absolute to the exclusion of all else.
