The Struggle to Adapt
I was not a very social child. When others hurt me with their unkind words, I was often unable to respond, even when the situation was not my fault. I couldn't speak a single word in my own defense. Instead, I would often cry alone. I used to see myself as an odd person who simply couldn't fit in with society or other people. I tried hard to change myself so I could adapt, but I was never able to do it.
Discovering a New Perspective
When I read a small booklet called 'Easy
Way to Understand Marxism,' my perspective completely shifted. I began to
think, "I'm not the odd one out; society is. I don't need to change;
society does." This profound realization is likely why I was drawn to
Marxism so quickly. This happened sometime around 1998. At that time, my
intense patriotic personality was quickly replaced by a communist one. I then
began studying socialism and communism extensively. Around this same time, some
school friends and I had established a children's library. We pooled our own
money to buy fairy tales and children's magazines. My job in the library was to
purchase the books and magazines. After becoming interested in Marxism,
however, I started buying books on Marxist ideology for the library instead. I
was incredibly excited to read these books and felt proud to be called a
communist. Simultaneously, listening to the songs of communist singers fueled
my spirit and added to my excitement.
 
Questioning Communism
Although I studied a lot about socialism, communism and Mao's New Democracy, I was most interested in communism. I would imagine myself living in a communist society. Every book I read predicted that communism was inevitable. This made me wonder, "If it's inevitable, why do communists need to lead a movement to achieve it? It should eventually happen on its own." I questioned whether this was possible and what made communism "inevitable."
These questions led me to a deep study of
the philosophical basis of communism: historical and dialectical materialism,
which is the core Marxist philosophy. Often, the logic in the books conflicted
with my own reasoning. Sometimes I'd find an important point that I had to underline
for review. Other times, I felt the provided logic was wrong and would write my
own counter-arguments in the book's margin with a pencil. It frequently took me
hours just to finish a single page because I would mentally argue with every
sentence, never moving on until I had reached a firm conclusion. 
When I realized that arguing with the
books was taking too long, I stopped writing my counter-arguments on the
margins and began drafting them in a separate notebook instead.
  
Reflections on Philosophy and Feedback
I started drafting this work on March
31, 2000, and completed the first phase of writing on February 26, 2005.
I then gave the manuscript to some friends for feedback, but the comments I
received were not as positive as I had hoped. Nevertheless, I wasn't worried by
the negative reception, as my only motivation is to discover the truth.
I simply hoped my ideas would be refuted by genuine facts and logic. The
main criticism was that my central idea, the 'Law of Action and Reaction,'
was nothing new; my friends argued that it was a simple rule ("every
action creates a reaction") that everyone already knows, and therefore
holds no appeal for readers.
My reply was that my work isn't concerned
with attraction, but with fact. I believe that true philosophy
should be a simple rule applicable to every aspect of the world, and
that past philosophers are responsible for making it overly complicated. For
example, while dialecticism seems extraordinary and is initially
attractive, its scope is ultimately limited—it can't be applied to every
area of life. A rule that represents the whole world must, by necessity, be
simple, and that is the 'Law of Action and Reaction'. While I'm
confident in this core philosophical idea, I realize some of the specific theories
I presented may need corrections. I would welcome finding errors because
I am always seeking the truth, and I believe that correcting a few theoretical
details will not invalidate the overall dynamic worldview, philosophy, or
theory.
I've recently made some corrections to the
manuscript and added two new topics. Finally, I want to thank everyone who
provided feedback. Comments are always welcome; it's perfectly normal for
readers to agree or disagree with the ideas I've presented, and I welcome both
views equally. Ultimately, my greatest hope is that this writing is simple and
clear enough for everyone to understand.

English is not strong, I asked Gemini AI to correct my language
in October 2025 and then edited my posts using the language it provided.)
 
Thank You !
