Just my thoughts #0526

If you can’t throw away what you have, you don’t own it properly. If you cannot leave the place you are staying, you are not entirely settled. Possession and non-possession share the same root, and wandering and settlement share the same root. There is no eternal state; we only enjoy a temporary state. It is often misunderstood that a state of possession for a moment is possession, and that a momentary absence is mistaken for wandering. The world changes, and you change too. Obsession and stubbornness will only hinder your change. If you know how to give up and leave at any time, the value of what you currently have and the state you are in will change significantly. Stability comes from sharing instability. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The smooth article seems natural, not because it was written spontaneously, but because it underwent revision. Much of the natural writing was not created automatically; instead, it was a result of the writer’s intention. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

We realize something while writing: we do not compose because we know. As we write down our problems, we instinctively understand what we know, what we don’t know, and what the main point is, which allows us to clarify precisely what it entails. Don’t just think; think as you write. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Text and images emerge from thoughts. Although the thought is ‘abstract,’ the text and images are ‘conceived.’ In transforming abstraction into conception, we genuinely realize reason and ultimately awaken knowledge. We cannot comprehend something if we merely see and hear. We don’t write because we know it; rather, we come to know through writing. Design doesn’t originate from good ideas but stems from validating thoughts through ample inspiration. Just as skillful typing doesn’t guarantee good writing, proficiently using drawing software doesn’t ensure good design. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

‘Writing’ is the best way to study. Reading, listening, and speaking are also excellent methods, but ‘writing’ represents a different dimension. When you feel uneasy while writing, you are producing content that diverges from your initial problem awareness. You are developing a theory by not identifying the underlying framework of your thoughts, or perhaps the case is not suitable, or the initial problem awareness itself is flawed. Writing reveals what I do not understand, helping you discover and learn more. Consistently doing this each day leads to significant progress. Write at least a few lines every day. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A painting embodies both media and authority. The mural in the medieval cathedral catered to the illiterate, who could not read the Bible. Access to written information was granted solely to priests, representing a form of power. The Reformation diminished this authority. New forms of media transform power dynamics, either generating or redistributing power. This influence shapes our everyday experiences. Writing, photography, and graphics continue to affect power structures. To understand the shifts in power, you must engage in a blend of art and business. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
