Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

As a result, it is easy to justify a motive or process. Consequently, individuals who distort motives or processes excel at rationalizing their own mistakes and often misrepresent and belittle the original intentions of others. Such a person is adept at criticizing others, lamenting poor outcomes, and frequently exposing an underlying greed for regret . This individual effectively repels assistance from those around them, yet wonders why many betray him or her and depart. They also attempt to overlook the presence of greed at the core of their actions. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

When you are betrayed and hurt by someone, there are times when you want to hide or be alone in silence. You want to cut yourself off from the world and just live in your own space. You don’t want to harm others, and you don’t want to be hurt either. At this point, temptation arises. The desire to choose a solitary, self-sufficient way of life is stirring. Never choose to be self-sufficient. As time goes by, it becomes more difficult for you, the one who has been hurt, and the likelihood of further injuries increases. Self-sufficiency is not the life we are meant to live today. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

On the economic front, a relationship that believes in each other is much more beneficial than an untrustworthy relationship. Disbelief results in inefficiency and leads to increased costs. Nevertheless, most of us choose to be distrustful because our experiences of loss from betraying after we have trusted someone are clearly visible and the benefits of cost savings by trusting someone are invisible. My attitude toward the world determines my actions, in our distorted experience, we regret and conflict daily. Even though we know it's a loss, we continue to cling to our foolish choices. - Joseph’s "just my thoughts"
