The cultural differences between the East and the West sometimes stem from the natural environment, but they are generally believed to arise from differences in thinking. In other words, Asians tend to understand relationships and similarities by grasping the context of certain events and situations, while Westerners often focus on rules and categories by concentrating on objects. Therefore, Asians believe that even beings far apart influence each other, and Westerners believe that a certain phenomenon occurs only when they are in direct contact. However, the irony is that the West, not the East, has communicated over long distances using invisible magnetic fields or radio waves. The consistency of phenomena does not always produce the same results as expected. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Rest refers to the state of accepting a ‘ meaningless stimulus ,’ rather than being an absence of any stimulus. There is no genuinely meaningless thing in this world; paradoxically, meaninglessness is meaningful because it ‘has no meaning.’ Excessive information and stimulation can destroy creativity . We intentionally need to be in a state of accepting meaningless stimuli in our daily lives. Whether it’s listening to music, enjoying the sounds of nature , or observing ordinary visual scenes that don’t matter, anything is acceptable. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
