Crisis overcoming and development both begin with “what I have,” not “what I have lost.” “What I have” consists of [everything I possess now, including what I lent to others] minus [what I’ve borrowed from others], [what I’ve inherited], [what I’ve received as gifts], and [what I’ve taken unlawfully]. [What I have] + [What I’ve inherited] + [What I’ve received as gifts] is referred to as [own assets] or [net assets], which includes [something I borrowed], and subtracting [something stolen] in my possession, it is called [asset]. To pay off the liabilities (debts), you must have [net assets] or possess [something I borrowed from others]. The only other way to do this is to repay with [something I stole]. The ultimate goal of any business activity is to acquire [assets]. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Johann Sebastian Bach had many children. To support his large family, Bach established a steady income, with occasional earnings from composing funeral music. This allowed him to secure a basic livelihood and sometimes pursue the music he was passionate about, which primarily resulted in his masterpieces. It is both desirable and important for an artist to earn a living independently. Balancing one’s livelihood as a person and as an artist holds significant religious and philosophical value. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
