Thinking of love and hate, honesty and dishonesty as extensions of myself helps shape how I build relationships and how I act. The truest honesty I show to others is reflected in how I extend honesty to myself and share it with them. Those who are not honest with themselves are also not honest with others. If I don’t forgive myself, my hatred for others also fosters negative feelings within me. I can accept others in myself just as much as I accept myself. My well-being always comes first, with others coming second. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
“Road Runner” in Warner Bros. animation “Looney Tunes” only runs. To catch it, the villain, “Wile E. Coyote,” digs a trap but only gets beaten by himself every time. However, if it is not a cartoon, the severity of the accidents that “Wile E. Coyote” suffers traps him every time is fierce. We do not acknowledge it. We even watch with the children and laugh together. Because we think that in our brains, “This is animation; it’s just a cartoon, not reality…” Realism has a profound effect on our morality. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
