Sometimes one event causes another. In such cases, the first event is often the result of a previous event that led to it. For example, if you roll a die and get a 3, that result already includes the number 3 on the die. If that’s the case, then we should consider that the number of ‘beings born’ in this world is very small compared to ‘things that never came into existence.’ ‘Coincidence’ is thinking that something can happen randomly, and ‘intention’ is excluding the birth of other things to make it happen. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Almost 90 years ago, Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin met at the premiere of the film “City Lights” in Los Angeles. Einstein said to Chaplin, “What I admire most about your art is its universality. You don’t say a word, yet the world understands you!” Chaplin replied, “True. But your glory is even greater! The whole world admires you, even though they don’t understand a word of what you say.” What is respect, and what is understanding? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A painting embodies both media and authority. The mural in the medieval cathedral catered to the illiterate, who could not read the Bible. Access to written information was granted solely to priests, representing a form of power. The Reformation diminished this authority. New forms of media transform power dynamics, either generating or redistributing power. This influence shapes our everyday experiences. Writing, photography, and graphics continue to affect power structures. To understand the shifts in power, you must engage in a blend of art and business. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Music is the flow of time. It is an art that divides a predetermined time and promises when to pronounce it. Musicians who break time promises are not entitled to music. It is an act of desecrating the sublime art of music. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
