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”
Johann Sebastian Bach had many children. To support his large family, Bach established a steady income, with occasional earnings from composing funeral music. This allowed him to secure a basic livelihood and sometimes pursue the music he was passionate about, which primarily resulted in his masterpieces. It is both desirable and important for an artist to earn a living independently. Balancing one’s livelihood as a person and as an artist holds significant religious and philosophical value. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
