Just my thoughts #0707

Milutin Milanković argued that the Earth’s Ice Age was caused by a change in the Earth’s orbit around the sun. This change is said to affect the inclination of the Earth’s northern and southern hemispheres and reduce the amount of solar radiation. However, the main reason is believed to be that summer isn’t hot enough. The ice kept accumulating as summer passed, and winter arrived before all the ice could melt. Even in our lives, things we neglect tend to build up and lead to big problems. Small, untreated chores can produce significant results over time. Good luck or bad luck, maybe that’s all there is. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0008

Those who value ‘justice' and ‘morality' tend to regard even a little ‘exaggerated’ expression as ‘false’ or ‘immoral.’ They also reject ‘rhetorical exaggeration' to emphasize expression. But ‘exaggeration' is only important for its ‘intention and purpose’ and is by no means ‘false’ in conveying meaning. ‘Rhetorical exaggeration’ is not a fabrication, but an emphasis. Rather, people want to prove their own integrity, and then push the ‘rhetorical exaggeration' to the one side as it is false and use that 'rhetorical exaggeration’ as a way to intimidate someone who used it is immoral. - Joseph’s "just my thoughts"
