'You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it' On what page of To Kill a Mockingbird is this quote?
Well, honey, that iconic quote by Atticus Finch is found on page 30 of Harper Lee's classic novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird." So, put on your reading glasses and dive into that page if you want to soak up some wisdom about empathy and understanding.
What is the etherealist society?
A mythical society made up people who exist only in one's imagination. They require no food or any other physical trappings since their minds create and control all things. Banded together a society of etherealist could create all manner of "things" that a realist would believe actually existed as long as the etherealist mind willed it. A good example of a "etherealist" society is in Edgar Rice Burrough's book "Thuvia Princess of Mars".
What is Wu hsin?
Wu-Hsin is a concept of Chinese philosophical thought ("mushin" is what it's called in Japanese). The Chinese and Japanese share this concept. Roughly translated it means "no-mindedness." I think that this principle originates from Taoist philosophy but it seems to share certain ideas with Buddhism in that it has to do with a sort of "non-attachment" type of mentality. Some schools of Buddhism, of course--such as Zen or Ch'an--have a lot in common with Taoism.Bruce Lee is famous for discussing the princinple of Wu hsin in his book "Artist of Life" and "The Tao of Gung Fu."It is worth saying that "no-mindedness," as understood by the oriental philosophy, does not refer to a state of mind devoid of thought. That would be a misinterpretation. Rather, it should be thought of as a state of "non-graspingness" in which one's mind and one's thoughts do not linger on any one thing. As Alan Watts comically puts it, it is a state of mind in which there is no sensation of a separate mind, or separate thinker "standing over it with a club."There is a lot more that can be said about this. I would suggest reading into the work Bruce Lee, Alan Watts and Lao Tzu (founder of Taoist philosophy). I'm sure there's a lot more but these are the philosophers that I'm familar with who discuss this principle (and yes, Bruce Lee was a philosopher--most people aren't aware of that).
