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”

We shouldn't run a business depending on our thoughts only. - Joseph's "just my thoughts
