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”
Human abilities have limits. When current skills fall short, people often rely on potential future abilities; yet, these capabilities won’t emerge without bounds. Drawing on future potential to resolve present issues can lead to complications—this occurs due to the Law of Equivalent Exchange, which reveals that previously used potential can create new challenges in the present. Delaying payment for these abilities merely postpones the inevitable, leaving the core issues unresolved. This payment is termed “hardship.” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
