If we don’t have something, we often think we don’t have it at all. However, even when we possess nothing, we fail to check if someone around us has something, and we simply give up. If someone nearby lacks it, we give up immediately. We struggle to identify the next person around us, don’t inquire about introductions, and we lack the courage to reach out. In difficult situations, we see only the fact that we have nothing substantial and can’t contemplate anything beyond that. No, we don’t even attempt to change our mindset. People falter not because they lack resources, but because they don’t think or have the courage. Even though we should live with wisdom instead of just hard work, we often labor tirelessly but without insight. This leads to more downfall; it feels like choosing to perish. Doing our best doesn’t equate to merely working hard. We strive for achievement yet work diligently without being wise. Consequently, we find ourselves falling again. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Salt is a crucial ingredient we consume daily, neither from animal products nor from vegetables. The salty taste plays a major role in determining what we find delicious. When restaurant food is overly salty, customers often complain, but if it’s not salty enough, they typically remain silent and don’t revisit after their meal. Salty taste serves as a standard of flavor and is essential for life. Salt must maintain a specific concentration in our blood, known as osmolality, to support our existence. This necessity also explains why we may dislike or spit out food that is excessively salty. Essentially, our reaction to saltiness stems from an instinct for survival. Thus, it goes beyond mere pleasure; it is a critical aspect of our survival. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
