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”
Fragrances that only capture pleasant scents lack appeal. A combination of bad scents is necessary to create a pleasing aroma. Just having good elements doesn’t ensure quality, and similarly, having bad elements isn’t necessarily negative. This concept is referred to as “bistability.” Emotions operate comparably. If you laugh in any situation, people may perceive you as a psychopath. On the other hand, being treated as depressed when feeling down is common too. Yet, when the contrast between mania and depression is too pronounced, mental health suffers. It’s essential to develop both positive and negative emotions. Like a beautiful landscape where good and bad elements coexist and balance one another, emotions should reflect a similar harmony. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
