If thinking is categorized practically, it can be broadly split into ‘volitional thinking’ and ‘instrumental thinking.’ Volitional thinking involves the belief that to succeed, a person must have a strong will to overcome hardships and obstacles. Self-improvement falls under this category. However, to actually overcome hardships and obstacles, it is instrumental thinking that drives us to consider that we need ‘tools’ to get past them. In other words, it’s like how carpenters build houses: they construct the structure, but tools are what make it possible. There is no carpenter without tools. Both are essential for success, but if I had to emphasize one, focusing on instrumental thinking is more advantageous. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The hospital is where patients are healed. Therefore the hospital is full of patients. The hospital must be able to keep patients healthy and accommodate many patients at any given time. The church is a place to call sinners. There are undoubtedly many sinners in the church. But what if there are only sinners who do not repent? Filters are tools that get rid of dirty things and clean them. If we don't clean it, it's the dirtiest. "Self-purification" restores the original substance. If the instructor omits "self-purification," the absurd result will occur as in the previous example. Don't be sad or angry even if life deceives you. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
