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”

Solomon’s wisdom, demonstrated when he ruled by proposing to divide a living infant with a sword in order to reveal the baby’s true mother and a false one, was notable because nothing truly happened when he suggested dividing the infant. The application of wisdom out of context in this scenario renders wisdom tragic. The difference between a wise man and an evil man can often come down to a piece of paper. Had the real mother’s reaction to Solomon’s judgment been ignored and executed immediately, history might have depicted Solomon as the most evil tyrant in the world. We would easily forget the distinction represented by that piece of paper. Wisdom is the intuition that accurately perceives the unseen context in a given situation. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A truck carrying a cow was overturned in an accident on the highway. The cow stuck in the car was on its way to the slaughterhouse. Should you rescue the cow? Is the rescue good or evil? Is the good you are doing good? If the purpose is good, what does it matter? No, what about the opposite? - Joseph’s “just my confusion”

The small good works resemble the great evil, and the large good works resemble the insentience. The words that Confucius said to Jaro. It's better to give even a small good, but rather it can be evil, and cruel behavior is so bitter, but as a result, it becomes often a good thing. The executive is not a person who does good deeds, but a very fatiguing person who sometimes needs to exclude emotions and make profits because it is a good deed not to go bankrupt. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
