All investments should be evaluated based on opportunity cost versus time. Are you investing for the short term or the long term? And which option would be more efficient and profitable if you invested elsewhere instead of this? The idea behind recommending long-term stock investments is that high-quality securities tend to benefit from inflation. Inflation happens when the prices of goods increase faster than the value of money. Wouldn’t a producer only make a good if its price exceeds its monetary value? However, if this gap is too large, the consumer experiences volatility. That’s why the efficiency of using money declines because you need money to buy things. This principle explains why stock prices tend to rise over time if you hold high-quality stocks long enough. Therefore, investing is often referred to as investing in time—because over time, it adds value. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The difference between living and non-living things lies in their complexity . Living beings are more complex than non-living objects. Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins explains that mollusk cephalopods , such as octopuses and squids , changing their skin color in an instant is a deliberately performed life phenomenon. The intention may be for survival or warning predators. Being alive and having a life depend on this complexity. Humans are complex both physically and mentally because they are alive. To celebrate life is to embrace this complexity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
