People say that to succeed, you have to break the frame. But how do you break the frame when you’ve never been locked inside one? Instead, words and actions should be confined within the framework of ‘consistency’ so that the beginning and the end match, earning trust from others. A person grows only when small, essential parts of daily routines are kept within the frame of ‘repetition (routine)’ and the rest are prioritized accordingly. Confining yourself to a specific frame means earning trust through consistency, being recognized for dignity, and developing a routine. This is the process of proving your existence in society. Only after being confined within a frame can you break the big one, elevating life to a new level. That is truly breaking the frame. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The most difficult writing in the Bible that I’ve ever read is ‘Job.’ In introducing ‘Job,’ the Bible states that he was a rich man of strong faith and the head of a happy family, but it does not explain the origins of the blessings he enjoyed. As he endures indescribable hardships, the reasons for his suffering remain unclear. In other words, he was blessed without explanation and suffered without explanation. The first part of the book of Job, which describes his blessings, contrasts with the latter part, in which he loses everything and eventually recovers for the first time. Yet, there is no explanation for this recovery either. Job’s life serves as a profound example of human experience. For many, the most painful aspect is to enjoy blessings without reason and to lose those blessings without reason. Our lives compel us to confront this reality, and that is the essence of our existence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
