Just as there is a distinction between rich and poor, there are also wealthy and impoverished thoughts. If you think poorly, you become poor. The mark of impoverished thinking is dwelling on the past instead of embracing the present. It’s said that the past was better, unable to accept the progress of the current system. When comparing the two, people often value what is familiar more than what is better. As a result, they make a less favorable choice and justify it. There is a pitfall in familiarity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
In the Old Testament, the book of Exodus, verse 8:9, depicts a scene where God promises Moses that Israel will escape from Egypt and be led to Canaan, the Promised Land. This is described as “a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.” This event took place during the Bronze Age civilization, but God mentions the resources that exist in the Promised Land, highlighting the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. Indeed, after migrating to Canaan, Israel established a copper mine to extract copper. The advancements in civilization and technology during this period hold significant historical importance for humanity. We are currently living in one of those transformative times. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
