The human brain is controlled by the unconscious mind. Voting to increase US school funding usually gains more support in schools than in churches. Conversely, votes on abortion in churches are often more opposed than in schools. When asked if the location affected their decision, voters often dismiss it as nonsense. Humans don’t realize that their behavior is driven by the unconscious. For example, if someone is holding hot coffee during a meeting, they are more likely to see me as warm. If they have iced coffee, they might see me as cold. This is based on studies in cognitive psychology. We are motivated by the unconscious, even if we don’t admit it. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
If being happy doesn’t depend on intelligence or wealth, what truly brings happiness to people? I believe that “knowing how to find satisfaction” and “knowing how to enjoy life” are essential for happiness. While having more or less can play a role, it isn’t the sole determinant. What matters most is finding a sense of satisfaction that resonates with your circumstances. Genuine education should prioritize teaching individuals how to find joy and contentment before focusing on the pursuit of achievement. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
