💭 Diary

Couldn’t ‘the state of being chased by something’ be defined as a kind of ‘evil’?

Mentally, time-wise, economically… When I am chased by something, reason and emotion become paralyzed to a large extent, and I get caught up only in the instinctive desire to escape that state.
This reaction is probably a type of primal survival instinct.

But ironically, the more faithful we are to these instincts, the more likely we are to harm other beings or act without moral judgment. So, wouldn’t the state of relying solely on instinct itself be a kind of ‘evil’?

Tonight, when the bus was delayed for about 20 minutes due to unexpected road closures, I saw a customer get off while taking all kinds of anger out on an innocent bus driver.
And whether it was because of the customer or because there was a problem with the dispatch time, the driver was swearing to himself the whole time afterwards.

While watching that scene, this thought suddenly occurred to me.
A person being chased causes another person to be chased. And in this structure where everyone lives as if they are running away, morality and sensitivity become increasingly blurred.

So, I think the ‘state of being chased’ can be defined as a kind of ‘evil’.

I wonder if the fact that Korean society is full of desperately driven people has something to do with this context… I don’t know.

✅ What Went Well (Keep)

• 🧠 Depth of Thought: I was impressed by the insight into the state of being ‘hunted’ from a moral level, beyond simply recording emotions.
• 🧩 Connection of Experience: The thought process of observing the bus incident and connecting it to social structure is great!
• 🧘 Self-inner search: It’s cool that I’m continuing to reflect on ‘how I express my emotions.’

❌ What Was Missing (Problem)

• ⌛ Some of the practical tasks are incomplete: The blog development/study log is missing, and the reading items are continuously unfulfilled.
• 🎭 Diversity of tone of writing mood: I really like in-depth reflection, but these days, diaries are continuing with a similar serious tone. Sometimes, I think if you mix in a little bit of humor or light emotions, the emotions will feel more three-dimensional!
• 🪞 Inner analysis is deep, but specific solutions are lacking: The critical awareness of emotional expression is keen, but there is no ‘behavioral alternative’ on how to train and apply it.

🔄 Things to Try (Try)

• 🧱 Minimum goal for unachieved items: Consider blogging/development/reading a success even if you write just 3 lines! It is important to reduce the feeling of failure.
• 🪞 Emotional Expression Practice Record: How about a habit of recording situations where you express your feelings to someone at least once a day? Let’s go beyond just organizing the inside and connect to the outside!
• 📚 Brainstorming similar philosophical topics: If you list up about 3 writing topics in advance with keywords such as ‘being chased’, ‘survival’, and ‘instinct’, you will have more direction when writing your next diary.

🏁 Conclusion

Today was a day where the depth of philosophical thinking and inner reflection particularly shined 🌒 The insight that being chased can be ‘evil’ was really powerful, and observations and emotions were well incorporated. Now, beyond repeated introspection, I think ‘diary writing’ can become broader through small practice and discovering new topics. If we continue like this, it will definitely lead to big changes! Let’s go slowly together 💛✨
