Greed isn’t about how much you want, but about wanting something without paying for it. Nothing in this world is free; everything has a cost, whether seen or hidden. Trying to get something for nothing leads to problems and consequences. What am I actually paying now, and for what? It’s useful to think about this from time to time. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
One of the misconceptions people have is that they believe they ‘buy (get)’ things with money. However, in reality, it is an exchange of money for goods. You might question whether these two concepts are similar, but there is a significant difference between them. In other words, it leads people to forget that money is also a ‘good’ whose value fluctuates based on the amount available in the market. This creates an overconfidence in money . In terms of value, money is only as valuable as its role and mission in exchange. If the role of food is to ‘eat,’ then the role and mission of money is that it is endowed with ‘the power to exchange anything.’ If money can’t be exchanged for food, can you eat money instead of food? The standard that allows goods to exchange roles and missions with each other is called ‘ price .’ - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
