오해에 대하여 [0:00]
The speaker discusses two types of people in relationships: those afraid of being misunderstood and those afraid of being understood, identifying with the latter. The speaker is not stressed about being misunderstood unless it affects their livelihood, noting that people often correct misunderstandings but don't delve deeper into understanding each other. The speaker believes there is no obligation to fully understand everything, including their videos. The speaker argues that misunderstandings are inevitable due to diverse perspectives and distortions, and one's essence doesn't change based on others' misunderstandings. People who are overly sensitive to being misunderstood may lack self-belief and fear exposure of their true selves.
이해가 위험한 이유12 [3:29]
The speaker explains why they are more afraid of being understood than misunderstood, emphasizing that this fear pertains to understanding their very existence, not just simple matters. The first reason is that understanding implies grasping, which can lead to manipulation. The speaker warns against being too skeptical or romantic, noting that an unknown element in others creates respect. Violence, the speaker claims, is based on understanding. Secondly, being understood means exposing one's flaws and illogicalities, which can be unsettling. Although the speaker admits to philosophical masochism, they believe that the exposure of the self is not fatal because people often don't pay attention to the depths of others due to their own concerns.
이해가 위험한 이유3 [7:03]
The speaker continues discussing the fear of being understood, presenting a third reason that contradicts the second: understanding can reveal unknown aspects of oneself. The speaker acknowledges the logical contradiction but attributes it to the limitations of human existence. Just as one cannot know if they can swim without entering the water, one cannot fully know themselves without the perspective of others. Others serve as instruments to reveal aspects of oneself that would otherwise remain hidden. The speaker admits to living a rough life but acknowledges that their self-knowledge is incomplete. Therefore, they must remain open to others' understanding to supplement their self-perception. The speaker concludes that humans must accept the uncertainty of their existence, making the experience of being understood, with its potential for revealing unknown aspects, a terrifying one.
