As a family, there are things we can do and things we cannot do. According to the level of intimacy, actions that are appropriate and those that are not are classified based on the type or nature of the relationship. Our actions are limited by relationships. Relationships influence behavior. Ignoring this is called ‘immorality.’ It is foolish to believe we can do everything by our will. Human beings are destined to do what is proper within a relationship and avoid what should not be done. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Speaking negatively to others stems from my discomfort. Positive language fosters respect and happiness in relationships. This isn’t merely due to the “power of positivity”; it’s how our brains have evolved to interpret it. When asked, “Why don’t you study?” the negative framing prompts the brain to release cortisol, which ramps up stress. Consequently, the brain associates “studying” with unpleasantness. Conversely, if you say, “I appreciate your studying even while you play,” the message shifts. Parents shape children; husbands influence wives, and wives impact husbands. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
