In <What Is Life?>, written by Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan, there is an expression, “Independence is a political term, not a scientific term.” Independence is the state in which a person can live alone without help or influence from others, using their own strength and ability. The condition of being physically separated from the community is called “isolation.” Independence and isolation are different. Isolation should not be mistaken for independence. To exclude influence and secure autonomy is independence, while deliberately cutting off relationships is isolation. Independence is based on achievement; isolation is based on hurt. To grow, you must be independent, not isolated. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
‘Writing’ is the best way to study. Reading, listening, and speaking are also excellent methods, but ‘writing’ represents a different dimension. When you feel uneasy while writing, you are producing content that diverges from your initial problem awareness. You are developing a theory by not identifying the underlying framework of your thoughts, or perhaps the case is not suitable, or the initial problem awareness itself is flawed. Writing reveals what I do not understand, helping you discover and learn more. Consistently doing this each day leads to significant progress. Write at least a few lines every day. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
