The key to getting along isn’t with people, but with time. Time shapes both individuals and the environment. And the scariest phrase is, “This too shall pass!” As time goes on, good fortune can become a curse, and misfortune can turn into good luck. Therefore, nothing is more important than the ‘now’ when it comes to pursuing happiness. - 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”
