Rarely does an erected flag fly alone. An invisible wind moves it, meaning an external force. When the wind blows, flags flutter, dust rises, and laundry dries. Many changes occur in response to one external factor, but we cannot see the cause. Eyes capable of reading invisible external causes can respond to a world of rapid change. We cannot attribute a cause solely by observing a phenomenon; instead, we must recognize a specific pattern across multiple phenomena. The ability to detect hidden commonalities is a form of wisdom. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Egoistic Mind . Traditional education that emphasizes social interaction often views ‘ selfishness ’ as a negative trait. However, selfishness is a necessary component for survival. The problem arises when selfishness is solely focused on oneself, as it can damage social bonds and community life . I believe that selfishness and sociality are qualities that should be balanced and complemented, not seen as mutually exclusive. Ultimately, selfishness should align with social interests. I call this positive form of selfishness “ altruistic selfishness .” It means making choices that satisfy your own needs first, but ultimately acting in a way that promotes happiness for both yourself and your neighbors. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
