Universality: Exclusivity alone does not create value because value is not automatically generated by monopolizing something that isn’t worthwhile. For a monopoly to effectively build value, the monopoly object must be scarce and in limited supply. Conversely, universality also creates value. Scarcity relates to the concept of universality as a correspondence, and the value of universality is also affected by the limitations imposed by scarcity. Nothing has absolute value; all values are merely relative. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Maturity doesn’t equate to being old and worn out. When I was younger, I shouted my words at the world, hoping it would recognize them. As I’ve matured, I’ve started to listen to what the world has to say to me instead of merely expressing my own thoughts. The world’s voice, which I hadn’t noticed before, becomes oddly clear to my ears. As I grow older, I find that I can’t hear the world’s voice. I don’t hear it because I enthusiastically spoke out when I was younger, and I don’t hear it again in my old age due to a hearing impairment. Life teaches us to perceive authentic sounds from outside rather than from within, and this awareness lasts only a brief moment. That’s the mystery of life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
