Benevolence is a very important force.
And it is a force that is used by Muslims, and by Sephardim.

Animals are not always benevolent.
Cats in particular are often sneaky, aggressive, and hostile.

In France, there was a case where a Muslim was convicted for throwing a cat against a wall.
I think the sentence was a bit excessive.
I understand that people of Catholic culture sometimes want to make an example, because they are revolted by certain acts.
But I think that if they want to make an example that makes History, they should rather produce a film than to give an excessively long prison sentence.

There is an intelligence behind all that.
When a Muslim/Sephardi hurts an animal, it is out of pure stupidity and pure malice.

Benevolence is something important in our cultures.
Benevolence is a strength that allows us to defend ourselves.

I find it unfair that people neglect to take this into consideration.
I find that justice tends to be careless.
Justice is uncompromising.
I find it bad.



It's something that's part of History.
Historically, nobody has known how to savor this particular well-being that is harmony.
Even today, it is very difficult to find happiness through harmony.
It's very difficult to divide a community into three pieces.

We had to defend ourselves against animals that were sometimes malicious.
Violence against animals is part of History.



We did not always know how to be much smarter than animals
And it's good to know it.
There must be a trace of that.

A real danger is if people are all adopting cats.
It is something that should be regulated by law.
Catholics have a position of strength at this level.
What would happen if tomorrow all French people adopted a cat?
What would happen if tomorrow the French streets were filled with animal malice?
It's a question that should be asked.
I find it unfair that no one asks this question.

My great maternal grandmother was Jewish.
Her husband was a Catholic.
They lived in a Maghreb country.

Her husband was very respectful of the religion of my great-grandmother.
Throughout their lives, they taught the Jewish religion to their children.
The husband of my great-grandmother was a very honorable and respectable person.

Yet, despite all that, something has happened.
My great-grandmother regretted having married a Catholic.
She had nothing to blame him, her husband was very respectful.
But she reproached herself for having married a Catholic.

I think it's a very sad story.

What can we understand through this story?
It is important to create simple and complete cultures.
It is a huge handicap to be a prisoner of one's own culture.
The only way to have a little freedom (to truly appreciate life) is to organize numbers, so that different cultures are easily assimilable.

A saying that I like is the following:
"We must build up against malevolence, and destroy in the face of stupidity".

I do not really know what he means.
I guess it's hard to apply this principle in practice.
But it's a saying that I like.
Too many people tend to be overly meticulous.

I know that there are reproaches that can be made about Israel, especially concerning the ultra-Orthodox.
But ask yourself these questions:
"Are the ultra-Orthodox excessively malicious?" (No.)
"Are the ultra-Orthodox excessively stupid?" (No.)

If they are not excessively malicious, and they are not excessively stupid, then why bother them?
I think they are sometimes a burden for Israel.
But I think it's something bearable.

I think Orthodox Judaism is something that needs to be regulated, but not banned.
I think it's quite positive that there are people who are curious to experiment with new things.
It shows that humans still have a lot to discover.

Here are some words (French) about Days of Evil, a German game:
https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=78262711&f=236

I will soon talk to you about some important things.
But first, I would like to talk about the choice of the husband, and the choice of the wife, in the communities.

I live in France, and I rub shoulders with many Catholics.
Sometimes, I have this strange feeling that they threaten me to marry a Jewish girl, as if it were something against which I was formally opposed.
Of course, I would not want all Jewish girls to marry Catholics.
But if only a few Jewish girls marry Catholics, then that does not bother me.

I think this kind of threat is very strange.
My great-grandfather was a Catholic, and he was very respectful of religion.
I have the impression that Catholics challenge me a little.
They challenge me to accept that a Jewish girl marries a Catholic boy.

I think that shows something important.
I think Catholics have a disregard for their culture.
They do not realize that they are cultivating one of the eight basic intelligences.
I find it sad and dangerous.

Another remark (before I tell you this important thing that I have to say) is that the Ashkenazi also have a particular attitude.
I know few Ashkenazi, but from what I have seen, the Ashkenazi are often hurtful.
They seduce a pretty Catholic girl, and then they drop her.
Ashkenazi people are pretty violent people.

In a way, I think it makes sense.
There is little harmony in the Ashkenazi community.
The few Ashkenazim who live are survivors.
In the Ashkenazi community, there is not this division into three:

• those who cultivate performance
  
• those who cultivate moderation
  
• those who cultivate the love of life

In the Ashkenazi community, most people cultivate performance.
In the Sephardic community, some people cultivate moderation & some people cultivate the love of life.
It is not surprising that there is violence.
Because of this bad organization, the Jewish community has a lot of trouble cultivating the well-being that is harmony.

I know an Ashkenazi who left his love of Catholic culture.
Several years later, he married a Sephardic Jewish girl.
All this was done in violence.

This Ashkenazi person:

• he often said "it's completely stupid to distinguish Ashkenazi and Sephardim"
  
• he quickly invited the girl to live at his home (and she accepted)
  
• he watched the striptease of a naked woman without telling the girl he was going to marry
  
• he was often mocking
  
• he used the expression "nareu" to speak of a person who is, according to him, too difficult, and who refuses to drink in the same glass as himself
  
• he made fun of his mother-in-law because she was afraid of too sharp knives
  
• he also did nice things

In short, this Ashkenazi person lied, cheated, was aggressive, and finally married the girl.
I find it quite unfair.
And I find it quite dangerous.

The Ashkenazim do not know that naivety was imposed on Sephardim in the early 20th century.
Ashkenazim do not know many things about Sephardim.
They should at least not be violent.

I will now tell you this important thing that I have to say to you.
The global society is full of cheats.

The global society is full of cheats:

• cheating in the way of talking
  
• cheating in the way of thinking (pretension)
  
• cheating in the way of acting (negligence)

Cheating in the way of talking:
Here is a list of figures of speech (figures de style) in the French language:


https://www.francaisfacile.com/exercices/exercice-francais-2/exercice-francais-42796.php



Cheating in the way of thinking:
In today's society, there is a very important complexity.
It is very complicated to know how to cultivate the four different well-beings (harmony, savor, softness & curiosity).
Some people decide to be guided only by their emotions.
Others decide to do everything excessively.
Others decide to let their curiosity guide them.

All these things are cheats.
It's dangerous to have such an extremist way of thinking.



Cheating in the way of acting:
Since the revolution created by Albert Einstein, great changes have taken place.
Many countries have increased their combat power thanks to the nuclear bomb.
Most Muslim countries have failed to obtain the nuclear bomb, either for diplomatic reasons, or for technological reasons, or for both reasons.
Today, Muslim countries are relatively weak.
And they feel threatened, which is normal.

It's good not to cheat.
It's good to admit this truth.
It is good to be aware of this truth.

Why?
Why is it better not to cheat?
That's what we'll see in the next post.

Why is it better not to cheat?
At message 62, I said that Chinese people tend to cheat.
It's normal in a way.
They have a sung language.
To sing is tiring.
Sometimes, thanks to the context, we do not need to sing too much to be understood.
It's called cheating.
To use the context to be understood is to cheat.
To use the context to be understood is "the fundamental element of cheating".

The fact that the Chinese language is a sung language testifies to the fact that the Chinese are good at cheating.
We can not win a fight against a Chinese by cheating.
The Chinese are too strong to cheat.
Cheating is a strength.

Americans are good at knowing things.
Jews are strong to understand things.
Muslims are strong at interpreting things quickly.
The Chinese are too strong to cheat.
We must respect that.

It's good to know it: We can not win a fight against a Chinese by cheating.
Cheating is a very powerful form of disharmony.
Disharmony is a misfortune.
The Chinese are the people most capable of enduring disharmony.

How can we defend ourselves?
How can we defend ourselves against people who cheat?

Honesty is very useful for defending against people who cheat.
Honesty consists in admitting one's helplessness and pointing out the need for pragmatic actions.
Honesty is sometimes aggressive.

The other way to defend ourself is by learning the Chinese language.
I think there is a chasm, a gap between China and the rest of the world.
I think that to fill this chasm, it is necessary to learn the Chinese language.

How?
The Chinese language is a very difficult language to learn.
I think the best way to learn Chinese language is by cheating.
We have to sing.
We will talk later.

We must first learn to sing the Chinese language.
We will learn later to use the Chinese language to communicate.

There is a gap between China and the rest of the world.
The global society is full of cheats.
In the world, very few people are able to sing, and to make music.

We must first learn to sing.
We will learn later to use the Chinese language to communicate.

We have to learn Chinese language by cheating.
We must learn the Chinese language, not as a language, but as a song.

I will try to make a video, where I sing Chinese, with a musical background.
I'm going to sing random sentences, without worrying about meaning.

That's what I call "the Sephardic way of learning Chinese".
