Longing: A lonely heart can be filled by someone, but a longing heart is a heart that cannot be filled by ‘the particular person.’ When the mind feels strange, it is important to first determine whether the feeling stems from a lack of self-generated needs or from not being filled by the object of longing. Loneliness can progress easily, but longing carries a high risk of self-destruction if not handled carefully. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Life only changes when we have great ideas and take action . If we work hard without great ideas, our days will likely feel meaningless. Conversely, if we only think about great ideas without taking action, nothing will actually change. Great ideas aren’t just big thoughts; often, they are small and trivial ones that are easier to implement. No matter how many doors there are, if we don’t open them, they’re just walls. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
