Just my thoughts #0302

Ignorance of rest at proper times is not a healthy passion. Compulsory awareness of rest reflects genuine humility and wisdom, especially when we cannot take time off, even during our free time. Taking a rest without self-control or believing that a break will worsen the problem is also a serious issue, akin to a severe disease. Appropriate rest serves as a diagnostic criterion for determining whether our daily routines are healthy. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0096

British anthropologist Robin Dunbar was certain that primate cerebral neocortical capacity determines the number of social relations. He definitively established the limit of human relationships at 100 to 230 people. The average value of 150 people is known as Dunbar's number. In the world of chimpanzees, 30 is the absolute maximum. However, fewer than 12 people in the world can sympathize with me. My best friend is now reduced to 3 or 4. The relationship quantity decreases to the square root value and increases to the square value. Three or four of my best friends will eventually connect with people from all over the world. This is the same principle as when one or two virus-infected people infect the world. Focus on your best friend. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
