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”
Books focused on “healing” often dominate the overall bestseller charts in South Korea, indicating strong reader interest in comfort. There are two primary strategies for commercializing healing concepts. The first strategy aims to alleviate guilt while fostering a sense of responsibility. The second approach aims to reinforce guilt but provides comfort after encouraging personal accountability. This methodology is also applicable in areas such as religion and counseling psychology. At the core of the healing industry is the concept of “privatizing pain.” Essentially, it means: “It’s not your fault (reducing guilt), but you have the power to change it (reinforcing responsibility).” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
