This world is designed to favor the elderly. Gaining experience through trial and error first means that you have a competitive advantage over latecomers. It also occupies an advantageous position in social organization. This is the advantage that arises from being the first to start. However, the statement that 1 plus 1 equals 2 can be understood without any experience; it serves as an analytic proposition that can be known by reason compared to the aforementioned experiential proposition. In other words, in the realm of analytic propositions, the advantage of being older does not hold much weight. The world needs both experiential propositions and analytic propositions, but experience is not always essential. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Sometimes, a person’s strengths are the cause of the problem. The situation determines the direction and use of nature. Each person has the advantage of knowing their strengths well, but it does not take into account the direction and circumstances surrounding those strengths. Strengths and weaknesses are relative concepts. Over-relying on your strengths can lead to issues, and it is also vital to be cautious of developing feelings of inferiority due to your weaknesses. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In law, a “fact” is not referred to simply as a “fact,” but rather as a “ contextual  fact.” The legal system addresses the relationships between people, positing that all facts are generated and understood within these relationships. Even the question of existence—whether to be or not to be—is grasped through the lens of relationships. There is no fact without a relationship, and the fact itself is neither true nor false; instead, the relationship determines its truthfulness or falsity. In other words, if you view truth and falsehood as absolute, you will navigate the world with a rigid mindset. Conversely, if you accept them as relative and contextual, you will perceive them with a broader sense of liberty. Ultimately, which perspective leads to greater happiness is a matter of individual disposition and taste. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

All values are interconnected and relative. There is no such thing as an absolute value. For instance, is the value of the goose that lays golden eggs due to the goose itself, or because of the golden eggs it produces? Are the productive forces of life indeed more precious, or does gold hold greater value? If you find yourself on the brink of starvation without food, which is more valuable: the goose that lays the golden egg or the one that lays ordinary eggs? Value depends on context and circumstances, as it is inherently relative and changeable. In essence, all values fluctuate. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
