To concentrate, you must first give up. The choice lies in setting priorities, and to overcome the limits of concentration, you must boldly let go of things of low importance according to those priorities. Greed hinders the act of giving up. Not giving up is not merely about intelligence; it involves morality, values, and a person’s character. This is also why human beings do not succeed based on knowledge alone. Even if you decide to give up, concentration exists in another dimension. Choosing something means also giving up or rejecting something else. At this juncture, a value exchange occurs between what is chosen and what is discarded. Thus, our greed is linked to comparative values. The next choice and abandonment depend on the values I already possess. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Eco-friendly products can sometimes be anti-ecological . Environment and ecology are distinct concepts, but both have a significant impact on human life. Many confuse the two, believing that if something is eco-friendly, it is beyond criticism. This creates the illusion that if a product is good for the environment, it will also be beneficial for the ecosystem . For instance, reducing disposable items can lead to increased detergent use , which may contribute to water pollution . The reality is that what is considered eco-friendly may not be suitable for ecology, and what is ecology-friendly may not necessarily be eco-friendly. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
