Into the book
What is life? Confucius, who solidified my crumbling life, lived a life of constant refinement to become a "gentleman."
The gentleman Confucius speaks of is 'a person who strives to live like himself, like a human being.'
Confucius's attitude toward life, which gave him deep insight into humanity, was, "When a gentleman goes out into the world, there is nothing he must do, and nothing he must not do (無適也 無莫也無適到無莫到).
It is broadly categorized as “only the measure of propriety is taken as the standard.”
In other words, anything can happen to anyone in our lives, so there are no limits, either upward or downward.
--- From "Prologue_My Lip"
When I chose to get married, my subconscious was dominated by baseless stereotypes like, "A woman must get married to be happy," "Having many children is a blessing," and "There will never be divorce in my life," as well as idealizing family by saying, "My family is so happy."
I have been making important choices in life based on that standard, while being 'thought-provoking' by that common sense.
During my sleepless nights, I went back to the past and watched the past episodes unfold before my eyes, thinking, 'My mother lived a life without me to maintain this family', 'Actually, I hated this kind of thing.
But then I had a realization and a question: 'Why did I think this was good?'
This was the moment when I changed.
--- From "How to Get Out of Depression"
The attitude of eating everything without leaving anything behind, showing how precious life is, is connected to Confucius's fervor.
Confucius said of himself, “I am so busy that I forget to eat (發憤忘食); I am so deeply enjoying the way that I have no worries or concerns (樂以忘憂) and I am so oblivious to the fact that I am growing old (不知老之 將至云爾).”
This is because the life given to me is precious.
I pride myself on having always lived a fiercely competitive life, but whenever I feel even the slightest hint of laziness, the reprimands of Thoreau and Confucius ring in my ears.
How passionate are you about your life?
--- From "How to Cross Borders"
To properly practice social distancing, you ultimately need to have an eye for people.
Parents and children are bound by nature, so they cannot be severed, but we can establish an appropriate distance.
The position of my closest spouse is easier than my family relationship because it is 100% my choice.
What if you put someone you should keep at number 10 in your friend list because they're lonely or because they just seem easy to talk to?
--- From "How to Keep a Distance"
To what extent should economic ability be considered in evaluating someone? We often tend to think that Confucius would rank someone with outstanding virtue as a gentleman, even if they lacked talent. However, this isn't the case at all.
Confucius considered economic ability to be a very important factor in evaluating people.
A person who is incompetent but has many virtues (I don't know if such a situation is possible) is just a 'fool'.
I just want that person's life to be okay, but I won't build a relationship or work with them.
Confucius said that incompetence is a disease and a shame.
--- From "It's a shame to be financially incompetent"
There is a woman who married into a devout Christian family.
The mother-in-law always borrowed God's word to interfere in her son and daughter-in-law's affairs and scolded her daughter-in-law.
“I had a dream that you were going to perish,” “I prayed and God said you are not my daughter-in-law.”
What can you say to your mother-in-law's words? Is conversation even possible in the first place? The moment you invoke the name of God, your relationship goes astray to Andromeda.
There is nothing that humans can do in the name of God.
Is there any difference between someone who says, "Marriage is a gift from God," and a mother-in-law who says, "God said you're not my daughter-in-law?" Religion doesn't solve problems.

Publisher's Review
“Why am I the only one who is so unhappy?”
Classic quotes to lift you up when everything falls apart
When asked, "What kind of life are you living? Are you happy?" very few people would be able to answer that they are very satisfied and happy.
We live each day diligently, passionately, and diligently, yet why am I dissatisfied with my current situation? Whose fault is it?
YouTuber “Knowing Lawyer,” who has 300,000 subscribers, also had a time when he asked himself the same question countless times.
In this book, the author honestly and calmly describes the process of overcoming depression and lethargy, and connects sentences and interpretations from Eastern classics that gave him insight at every moment and helped him rise from the pit of life. By doing so, the author helps readers intuitively understand that our daily lives and classics are intertwined and can be excellent tools that can immediately provide comfort and help in life.
In addition, he naturally connects the numerous cases of people who are 'wronged and angry because of wrong relationships' he has met while working as a lawyer with passages from classics, and smoothly presents solutions.
This book offers very specific and practical ways to understand who you are and who you should be relating to, and it applies to everyone.
Breaking away from the common and clichéd interpretations of classics, this book, "The Lawyer I Know," which lives a more proactive life than anyone else, has reinterpreted and presented in an easy-to-read format as a "classic for living as the protagonist of your own life," which will reach readers facing various difficulties with weight and trust.
“When life brings difficulties, crying and worrying are useless.”
Life's tools for a self-directed life
In this book, "The Lawyer I Know" calmly describes the past when she got married at the age of 31 with the thought that "this will be okay," and fell into an abyss of mental despair after seven years of marriage, and thought about death every day after the divorce.
After ten sleepless months, the author regresses to various points in the past and constantly confronts himself at specific points in time.
It was to find the real reason why I made that choice at an important moment in my life.
Through this process, the author realizes that she had chosen to get married because she was 'convinced' by the baseless common belief that 'women must get married to be happy.'
Numerous questions ultimately led the author to the question, "What kind of person am I?" and that became the catalyst for change.
When life hits rock bottom, the question we should ask ourselves is not, "Why did this pain happen to me?" but, "How can I change?"
When I realize that the path I have chosen is a dead end, sitting down and crying, blaming my past self or the person who put me on this path, and praying to God, will not improve the situation.
As the saying goes, “When you’re in a difficult situation, you change, when you change, you find a way, and when you find a way, you last (窮則變, 變則通, 通則久),” the truth is that when you’ve encountered a dead end, it means that you’ve become difficult, and the only solution to resolve your difficulty is for you to change.
This book contains the journey of "The Lawyer I Know," who was left reeling after the tower he had built with so much effort and fierce living collapsed, and who gradually changed and stood up as his true self.
The author's story will serve as a support for many readers who have lost their way in life and are wandering.
“Life is tough!”
A life weapon to grow and thrive beyond the waves of life.
The author says that our life is about constantly riding on waves.
The waves that come our way vary in size and impact, but these waves, big and small, that constantly come crashing down ultimately help me grow.
It is natural that events such as employment, marriage, childbirth, and divorce occur in the time called 'my life'.
Getting married, getting divorced, or having a job doesn't change the essence of who I am as a person.
The human image Confucius envisioned was also 'a person who lives an independent life.'
How can we live authentically, unwavering in the unexpected situations we encounter in life? Confucius suggests two approaches to life.
“When a gentleman goes out into the world, he neither insists on what must be done nor insists on what must not be done. He only takes what is appropriate as his standard.” (Confucius said, “A gentleman in the world has no suitability, no arrogance, and no comparison with righteousness.”)
In this way, life is something that can happen to anyone.
In the flow of time called life, we sometimes encounter deep waters and sometimes shallow waters.
We should humbly accept this fact, and when we come across deep water, we should take off our clothes and cross, and when we come across shallow water, we should roll up our pants and cross.
Whether I take off my clothes or roll up my pants, the essence of who I am as a person does not change.
In the end, it is the unwavering nation that crosses the waters constantly.
If you sit down and can't cross the river because you're afraid your clothes will get wet, there will be no growth in your life.
Life flows and we must move forward.
This book guides you on a path of constant growth, sometimes taking off your clothes and sometimes rolling up your pants, and thus living more independently and freely.
