If we don’t have something, we often think we don’t have it at all. However, even when we possess nothing, we fail to check if someone around us has something, and we simply give up. If someone nearby lacks it, we give up immediately. We struggle to identify the next person around us, don’t inquire about introductions, and we lack the courage to reach out. In difficult situations, we see only the fact that we have nothing substantial and can’t contemplate anything beyond that. No, we don’t even attempt to change our mindset. People falter not because they lack resources, but because they don’t think or have the courage. Even though we should live with wisdom instead of just hard work, we often labor tirelessly but without insight. This leads to more downfall; it feels like choosing to perish. Doing our best doesn’t equate to merely working hard. We strive for achievement yet work diligently without being wise. Consequently, we find ourselves falling again. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Some characters occasionally appear only to family members or close friends. For example, although he is generally generous to others, he becomes angry with his mother, who has endured much for him. He does not contain his anger toward a specific person for long. Even those who have known me for a long time, my unusual character, which they may not fully understand, defines me, intervenes in my life until death, and influences critical moments. Even within my family, if they cannot accept my unique and limited character, I will ultimately live as if estranged from someone else.
