When a cow dies, it becomes beef, and when a human being dies, it becomes a corpse. If you can’t live with honor, your life isn’t even as valuable as beef. Beef is food, but a corpse is merely a cost. Cows help humans until they die, but humans are worthless once they pass away. The sooner you understand this futility, the better your life will be. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Identifying my existence prompts the question: how can I prove it? We can define existence in biological terms, but first, we must approach it philosophically. This is achieved through the concept of a “statement.” The expressions “I am OO” or “you are OO” serve as philosophical assertions rather than scientific proof. If we dismiss the significance and authority of these statements, we encounter numerous problems and discomfort, as they lead me to doubt everyone I encounter. Statements are the fundamental components of a narrative. They delineate existence, with definitions articulated through sentences that create the story’s context. This entire framework is referred to as a “narrative.” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
