From a neuroscience perspective, the object I love, devote myself to, and sacrifice for is an ‘extension of myself.’ The brain is inherently selfish. Selfishness is a necessary emotion and attitude for survival. Only when I exist can others exist. Yet, we often see people making sacrifices for others. How can I love someone other than myself? What I dedicate and sacrifice for someone is what my brain perceives as an ‘extended me.’ Ultimately, loving others is an extension of loving myself. Therefore, self-love becomes a foundation and a tool for loving others. If ‘self-love’ is healthy, then loving others is healthy too. - 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”
