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”
The weight of a glass of water isn’t heavy, but holding it for a long time can numb your arm. Obsession matters more than the weight of life. If we cling to both hate and stress for too long, our souls become paralyzed. Even small stresses shouldn’t be dismissed, and even mild hatred shouldn’t be ignored in our hearts. The peril of obsession is that my heart becomes numb without me realizing it, and forgiveness has the power to save both the one who hates me and myself. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
