Seven Values persophy Poses to the World
The values presented here are those that modern society has discarded as inefficient, irrational, or outdated under the logic of rationalism.
To live while holding contradictions.
To accept sorrow not as weakness, but as nourishment of the heart.
To wager on spirit and resolve rather than mere rationality.
To refuse fixation on a single ideal, and to remain open to possibility.
These are not values for success.
Nor are they techniques for surviving society more smoothly.
More often than not, they collide head-on with what is commonly called “common sense” or “correctness.”
persophy affirms these values deliberately.
Because it knows that human depth and attractiveness arise from places that have nothing to do with usefulness.
The essence of values is not a compass that points to the correct route.
It is wisdom that allows people to wander and tremble, to accept uncertainty as the thickness of life, to slow down hurried thinking, and to keep distance from easy conclusions.
The seven values presented here are only a part of that wisdom.
1. Sorrow Is Not Negative — It Is Moisture, and It Is Kindness
In this world, sadness and grief are often treated as things to overcome or eliminate as quickly as possible.
But sorrow is, at its core, proof that a person is feeling the world deeply.
A heart capable of being wounded.
A sensitivity that mourns what has been lost.
The time spent standing still before an unchangeable reality.
These are signs that kindness toward others is quietly taking root within one’s own heart.
persophy treats sorrow as inner moisture—
as an irreplaceable emotional richness worthy of respect.
2. When the Worldview Changes, the Heart Changes Instantly
People are transformed not by persuasion, but by perspective
People do not change because they are confronted with correct arguments.
Values shift when the perspective from which the world is seen changes.
Even when facing the same reality, meaning and emotion differ completely depending on the coordinates from which one observes it.
persophy offers many worldviews within its stories in order to invite readers to warp themselves into another world from within.
When a worldview changes, thought reorganizes itself naturally, and the landscape of the heart shifts quietly.
3. The Heart Needs Prevention More Than Coping
Preparedness dramatically reduces damage
Modern society is enthusiastic about coping after problems occur.
But in the realm of the heart, what matters most is whether prevention was in place beforehand.
Themes such as death and sexuality—subjects adults have long avoided speaking about—have, precisely because they were left unspoken, harmed children in distorted forms.
persophy does not provide answers.
It provides a place to think in advance.
When the heart has encountered questions and reflection beforehand, it is quietly protected when reality eventually arrives.
4. Remaining Open to Possibility
The secret to not becoming rigid
People feel safe when they are defined.
Fixation saves energy; thinking becomes unnecessary.
But the moment something is fixed, possibility begins to close.
persophy opens new horizons through possibilism.
It values remaining unfinished as a strength in itself.
As long as one is open to possibility, thought remains flexible and the heart stays supple.
By considering many possibilities, a sense of “I don’t know” emerges.
That very uncertainty becomes a person’s room to grow as a human being.
5. Holding Contradiction as Contradiction
Without obsession with coherence
We live in an age that demands instant answers and conclusions.
But the human interior is not so orderly.
We love and hate at the same time.
We believe and doubt simultaneously.
We desire and fear together.
This is the natural condition of being human.
persophy does not regard contradiction as a flaw.
Contradiction is the space in which new values are born—
the breathing room where thought and emotion remain alive.
Do not rush to resolve contradiction.
Welcome it instead.
That is what deepens thought and liberates the heart.
6. Reclaiming Spirit, Resolve, and Righteous Anger
Cooled rationality has no human appeal
Rationality is convenient.
But it is cold. Flat. Bloodless.
Anger that cannot be logically explained.
Indignation that rises beyond profit and loss.
A feeling one cannot give up, even without reasons.
persophy places the highest value on the force of passion that rises from within.
People driven by spirit, resolve, and righteous anger—
by a sense of mission—are undeniably compelling.
Against a monochrome, numbed age, persophy asks anew for the value of passion pulsing with red blood.
7. The Value of a Personal Aesthetic of Life
What becomes the foundation of the heart
Good and evil form the axis of society.
Profit and loss form the axis of the economy.
But an aesthetic of life forms the axis of the individual.
How do you wish to live?
What kind of existence feels beautiful to you?
What persophy holds sacred is the aesthetic embedded in a way of living.
It is not something to impose on others, nor something to preach.
It is an intensely personal standard that supports one’s singular identity.
To possess an aesthetic is to possess an attitude toward the world.
And to let one’s life revolve around dignity and pride.
