Contradictions and Possibilities: As long as ‘spear’ and ‘shield’ exist simultaneously in this world, contradictions will inevitably occur. Contradictions are not problems to be eliminated entirely but rather things to be utilized and adapted. A contradiction is merely a logical confusion, not a flaw. The key feature of contradiction is that it exposes possibilities and opportunities, as long as it is not limited by logic. In other words, a contradiction is simply a state, not a final conclusion or decision. During a contradiction, the direction in which it progresses presents an opportunity to discover new possibilities or opportunities. When facing a contradiction, it’s important to carefully analyze why this state has been reached. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Books focused on “healing” often dominate the overall bestseller charts in South Korea, indicating strong reader interest in comfort. There are two primary strategies for commercializing healing concepts. The first strategy aims to alleviate guilt while fostering a sense of responsibility. The second approach aims to reinforce guilt but provides comfort after encouraging personal accountability. This methodology is also applicable in areas such as religion and counseling psychology. At the core of the healing industry is the concept of “privatizing pain.” Essentially, it means: “It’s not your fault (reducing guilt), but you have the power to change it (reinforcing responsibility).” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
