Should We Fear the Dead?<\/h4>\n

What do dead people have to do with peer pressure? As ones educated in Bible truth, we know that the dead are not conscious, so they can no longer affect those of us who are living, right? (Ecclesiastes 9:5<\/a>, 10<\/a>) Well, they can if we let them, as illuminated by this English saying:<\/p>\n

\nTradition is just peer pressure from dead people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, while many may assume that peer pressure is mainly just a problem that affects young people who have not yet come into their own as individuals with their own minds and hearts, the truth is that people of all ages who follow traditions handed down from those who came before us are going along with peer pressure from these dead people\u2014they all did x<\/i> so we also do x<\/i>. Sometimes, such following of tradition can be good, just as some peer pressure can be positive. However, just as peer pressure to smoke, to take drugs, to engage in nationalistic, immoral, or false religious practices, etc. is bad, some traditions can be bad too.<\/p>\n

Peer Pressure and Chinese Characters<\/h4>\n

Since Chinese characters are the oldest continuously used writing system<\/a>, lots and lots of tradition has accumulated around them, that is, lots and lots of peer pressure from lots and lots of dead people. However, even with this exceptional weight of tradition, is there any more reason to go along with the traditions associated with characters than there is to go along with any other traditions or peer pressure from imperfect humans in Satan\u2019s world? No! For example, the exceptional weight of tradition involving Christmas, so beloved and celebrated by so many for so long, does not make it any less problematic for God\u2019s true people.<\/p>\n

\"\u6c49\u5b57<\/p>\n

Regarding characters and P\u012bny\u012bn<\/i><\/span>\n(P\u012bn\u00b7y\u012bn\n{Piecing Together of} \u00b7 Sounds \u2192<\/span> [Pinyin]<\/span>\n\u62fc\u97f3)<\/span>, after decades of learning Mandarin for the Mandarin field and several years of research into how first principles of linguistics<\/a> apply to such learning, the advice I now give is: Use the simple, elegant P\u012bny\u012bn<\/i><\/span>\n(P\u012bn\u00b7y\u012bn\n{Piecing Together of} \u00b7 Sounds \u2192<\/span> [Pinyin]<\/span>\n\u62fc\u97f3)<\/span> system when you can, and just use the unnecessarily extraordinarily complex characters when you have to<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That advice may be contrary to the traditional consensus of thousands of years\u2019 worth of dead people, as well as that of most living people, but as Jesus taught us, the wide road can lead to a bad place, and the narrow road can be the one that leads to a good place. To walk such a narrow road when most are on the corresponding wide road, we need to overcome peer pressure, whether it comes from the living or it comes from the dead in the form of tradition.\u2014Matthew 7:13, 14<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
