Influence of Time: Time has the power to change the values of this world and people’s minds. The passage of time—past, present, and future—is only significant to humans, and if there is an all-powerful God, it likely holds no meaning for Him. Time accomplishes many things, and God rules the world through it. As time progresses, people change, and the world changes as well. When time flows, the world transforms, and it is natural for humans to adapt to these changes. My attitude toward time influences my values, which in turn shape my actions and perspectives. My values do not influence time; rather, time influences me. Observation is not just seeing the world but also seeing myself. It is a wise attitude to judge both myself, who is affected by changing times, and the world, which is already in flux. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Anthropologist Margaret Mead emphasized “fracture” as a more relevant concept than using tools as markers of human civilization. When an animal is fractured, it becomes easy prey for predators. However, when humans are fractured and unable to function, they rely on the support of their neighbors. Unlike animals, which show no evidence of broken bones and can reattach, humans leave physical marks. Notably, the birth canal of women is narrower than that of other species, complicating the process of giving birth without assistance. Thus, it is incredibly challenging for anyone to bear a child independently. This fact underscores that human childbirth inherently necessitates social interaction. Anatomically, humans have socialized since birth. While women physically bring children into the world, it is society that nurtures and supports this life. Therefore, the core and utmost value of civilization is LOVE for our neighbors. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
