Garbage: Nothing starts as garbage; it becomes so when materials used to protect valuables, like packaging, are no longer needed, or when objects become obsolete or worn out after their expiration date, such as second-hand goods. In essence, garbage results from the end of roles or functions, as well as the passing of values over time. Similarly, the mind follows this process. The defense mechanisms of the mind, which I once valued for self-protection, may also become garbage. When they are no longer valid or worth protecting, we may cling to them, though they are mere illusions. Just as with physical waste, mental garbage should be discarded rather than kept. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Previously, the medium held exclusive power over the message, making its truth unquestionable. Now, with digital technology enabling individual media creation, anyone can craft a message. Essentially, messages have transformed into their own mediums. When you produce a shareable message, you effectively become a medium yourself. However, the significance of sending messages is often overlooked. The perceived value of a message shifts dramatically when people trust the messenger’s identity. Therefore, to manage Instagram effectively, prioritize establishing a credible identity and consistently sharing valuable content. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
