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”

Macroscopic and microscopic perspectives sometimes reveal contradictions or conflicts of logic. We must consider the variable of time when forming our thoughts and judgments, because in many cases what is considered right macroscopically may not be appropriate microscopically. In stock investing, stocks deemed correct from a long-term view are often seen as poorly chosen from a short-term perspective. Our values and judgments are sometimes praised and at other times criticized over a certain period. It seems like an innocent prank over time. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Even if I have too many human relationships, many of them are not directly connected to me. Therefore, many people believe that they only need a few good companions by their side. In other words, human relationships also involve probability. This thought presents a problem, too, because the choice of who qualifies as “good people” and the ability to strengthen those relationships isn’t entirely in my hands. Most of the time, the reason I can’t escape all the conflicts and hardships is that I can’t take control of my life independently. Thus, we are very fragile creatures. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
