A ‘transaction’ is an act of debt between parties. The seller owes goods to the buyer (performance debt), and the buyer owes money to the seller (monetary debt). A transaction is considered complete when the debt is settled and the promise to owe each other is called a ‘contract.’ Thus, a good trader or businessman excels at making and repaying debts. When it comes to debt, the type of debt matters. Anyone who misjudges this should not engage in business. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Plants produce a toxin called alkaloids for their protection. Over 200 types of alkaloids exist in nature, and they are known for their bitter taste. Humans dislike bitterness and prefer sweetness. Among taste receptors, there are four times as many receptors for detecting bitter flavors compared to other taste perceptions, which is believed to be an evolutionary adaptation for safety against toxins. Fear is an instinctual response in humans to ensure security. Aversion to pain may also serve as a survival mechanism. Don’t be vaguely afraid of fear. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
