Just my thoughts #0570

“I can live well alone!” is not correct. If I live alone, I can survive to some extent, but ultimately, it is hard to survive, and “living well” is even more challenging. This is because the economic principle is established not by ‘alone’ but by ‘many people.’ If I live well, it means that someone has become poor because of me or is living well with me. The fact that through value exchange, or transaction, we can meet each other’s needs and store the surplus from that production is both true and real. Trading is not done in isolation. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Nature has dominated over human beings, and we belong to the cosmos. As the meaning of this fact is so broad, we often forget this relationship between nature and human beings. The movement of the earth around the sun has created a HORIZONTAL CIVILIZATION BELT on this planet. This phenomenon gave us geographical advantages in a certain zone and made the economic difference of vertical continental by agricultural weather. Geographically where I belong gives us crucial effectiveness. Look carefully at your environment such as natural location, and weather in your life planning. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Rice has been the staple crop of the East, while wheat has been the staple of the West. Rice requires more water to produce than wheat. Rice farmers had to contend with the availability of water, which favored collective farming. Wheat could be grown with less labor than rice. Rice farmers lived collectively, while wheat farmers lived individually. Collective agriculture led to the development of societies that were governed by village rules. On the other hand, individual agriculture led to cultures that valued personal freedom and respect for individuality over communal rules. Patterns of agriculture have indisputably influenced social structure and culture. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
