Philosophy # 2

' The classical man is just a bundle of routine, ideas, and tradition. When he acts, he is translating every living moment in terms of the old'
Bruce Lee (1975, p. 16) The Tao of Jeet Kune Do

Please read it, understand it, and absorb it. Bruce Lee was referring 'it' to the Kung Fu filled with unnecessary classical patterns and movements. Therefore, he created his very own philosophy of the martial arts - Jeet Kune Do. I am applying that philosophy in my atheistic philosophy.

Remember the last time you are observing a routine traditional ceremony. Ask yourself whether it has any purpose, function or value in it. It it does not, discard it.

'Empty your cup so that it may be filled; become devoid to gain totality'
Bruce Lee (1975, p. 14) The Tao of Jeet Kune Do

If it does not contain any purpose, function, or value, why are you still observing it? Why are you following the footsteps and shadows of the classical man - our ancestors? The classical man who lived 999 years before us....why are we following his shadows?...when we are living in the 21st century. When you follow his shadows, you are actually trying to live in the times of your ancestors.

We are living in the present with the Internet right in front of our eyes!

Unlearn all those unnecessary ceremonies, traditions, and routines. Empty your cup! Fill your cup with your own way of living!

Apply this very important philosophy right now!

Listening to the classical man is about understanding the routine, traditions, shadows, and his wayward beliefs. 'You are not understanding yourself' (Bruce Lee, 1975, p. 17).

Listen to yourself and understand yourself.
