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”
In the Genesis of the Bible, there is a scene where Adam sees and names all creations. Naming is a social act. By giving something a name, we can specify and refer to it, allowing us to treat it as an object of praise or criticism in society. This is why popularity rises; its popularity becomes power, while criticism can lead to rejection. Suppose no names are assigned to the objects in the world. Human sociality would revert to a primitive state the moment names disappear. A name is not just a title; it embodies your existence.
