Don’t underestimate your emotions. If I leave these feelings of hate, resentment, longing, and loneliness inside me, one day they will surely take their revenge. Emotions aren’t harmful when we share them with others. Even if we can’t resolve the root cause, having a friend to share our trivial feelings with helps us endure life’s hardships. When there’s someone other than myself to whom I can devote, we can avoid the storm of emotions and overcome adversity. It’s even better if we have an equal friend to share our feelings with, someone we’re committed to. Without just this one friend, we feel sad, exhausted, and lost. The feelings I hold inside will eventually take their revenge on me. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Doing nothing is also media content. The media showed others something with the obsession that something had to be done. The Norwegian national broadcasting company, NRK, showcased only the scenery of the railroad between Bergen and Oslo for 7 hours and 20 minutes in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the railway’s opening. In 2011, they aired 134 hours of ferry service along the fjord coast. Railroad broadcast ratings were 15% (four times the usual), and ferry broadcasts were watched by 64% of all Norwegians. If you know that humans are not the main characters in our lives, you are guaranteed more fun. Proof of existence and achievement is not everything in our lives. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
