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”
Both self-respect and self-esteem are emotions that enable individuals to assess themselves and acknowledge their intrinsic value. Is this a form of identity capitalism? Who evaluates it, and who determines the criteria for value? Isn’t existence or nonexistence itself meaningful and valuable? Isn’t my presence in this world already worth something? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
