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”
Growth and development stem not from accumulating achievements but from various forms of “exchange.” This means that they arise from the value I contribute in relation to the value of something else. This idea applies universally across all communities where people gather, whether in families, companies, or churches, and this exchange can be understood as “sacrifice.” Often, we sacrifice some internal members for the benefit of the group or employees for the satisfaction of external customers. The nature and reasons behind the sacrifice determine the organization’s morality, while the intentions and outcomes of the sacrifice demonstrate its ethical standing. Thus, the phrase “good influence” poses social risks; this is because a sacrificial mechanism exists in our world, allowing for value exchanges that may not necessarily be positive. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
