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”
The flesh of salmon is naturally white. Its characteristic orange hue results from the salmon’s diet, which is rich in shrimp, imparting the shrimp’s color to its flesh. This orange pigment, known as ‘carotenoids,’ is also found in carrots. Fish with red flesh possess high levels of hemoglobin in their blood and myoglobin in their muscles, enabling them to utilize oxygen efficiently, particularly those that require strong muscle activity. Although salmon are typically less active, they become more engaged during the spawning season when they travel back to their rivers. It’s fascinating to think that salmon and carrots are linked through this pigment despite having no apparent connection. The world has unimaginable connections. Who can predict what tomorrow will bring? Thus, let’s strive to be good people. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
