Jingbirok: The Book of Corrections
Am I using my painful past failures as a mirror to prepare for upcoming crises?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first read this book, I fell silent before the searing confession a nation's chief minister had set down. After living through the devastation of the Imjin War, Yu Seong-ryong relentlessly probed not the records of victory but the causes of crushing failure. Jingbi means chastising past faults to guard against future ones. This record, left as though wrung from his bleeding heart, casts a cold warning upon us who rush only to bury our failures. Read again today, it makes me realize that thorough, excuse-free reflection is the only shield that guards tomorrow.
"I reprimand myself for past mistakes in order to guard against future troubles."Ryu Seong-ryong, Jingbirok: The Book of Corrections
