Algorithms are the foundation of how a system functions. A system is a large structure where each component is connected by a specific energy that forms relationships, and the entire system moves in a set direction. Understanding an algorithm provides insight into the system, how it operates, and its overall direction. However, creating an algorithm requires the system creator to take a risk and pay a price for the entire system. That’s why designing an algorithm isn’t easy, even though using one is simple. Once an algorithm is developed, system members become reliant on it. The way to break this reliance is to either discard the algorithm or develop a new one. Knowing which system you belong to and how it functions is extremely important. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Jesus taught, “If you got slapped your right cheek, turn the other cheek.” One of the actions that the Jewish Qumran community denied and forbade was “pointing with the left hand.” Violations of this rule brought sanctions from the community. To hit the right cheek means the opponent strikes with an unclean left or right backhand. This cheek slap is deliberately insulting and humiliating rather than merely a pain-inflicting action. Therefore, this teaching of Jesus, “turn the other cheek,” suggests not allowing oneself to be struck by the back of the hand and can signify not being helpless but being active in nonviolent resistance without seeking revenge or retaliation. Perhaps this teaching carries a frightening meaning. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
