Money is essentially the same, yet it creates different qualities in how it is used and transacted. In other words, the quality associated with money varies. Not all debts are created equal; there are good debts and bad debts. The quality of these debts can also be classified as good or bad, impacting sales and profits. This is similar to how paying the same amount for fruits can yield different results: one box might contain delicious fruit while another may hold tasteless ones. Thus, even when spending the same amount of money, the pleasure and satisfaction derived from the taste can vary significantly. When these differences accumulate, the utility value of money significantly affects wealth distribution, making the gap between wealth and poverty even more pronounced. Earning well, spending wisely, and borrowing judiciously greatly influence our happiness in life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

This balance and dedication are always necessary whenever we are with others, yet contradictions arise here. In other words, the energy for dedication emerges when the balance is disrupted. Since both cannot be established simultaneously, it is important to maintain the cycle properly. First, we achieve balance; then it is disrupted for a while, necessitating the devotion of our energy, after which we need a cycle to regain balance again. Organizations function within this cycle. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

While religion should help balance fear and worship, it often exploits it. This is called “depravity.” Anyone can be depraved, anyone! - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In the Old Testament, the books of “Esther” and “Ruth” are the only ones that express God’s glory without directly revealing His word and existence to humanity. Esther exemplifies how justice was established against evil, ensuring the survival of the nation even without a direct expression of God. The justice that prevented evil was a public achievement, while national survival was a more self-centered success. Although God’s presence is never overtly revealed, it is a remarkable event that balances public and private spheres. I believe Christian companies should reflect this. Even without explicit exposure to God, it is essential to adhere to laws and common sense necessary for achieving a balanced personal selfishness in maintaining a livelihood. When this balance is struck, Christian companies can reveal God to the world through indirect means rather than through direct revelation. This doesn’t occur simply because you worship at the company chapel. Instead, by not being overt but b...
