The difference between living and non-living things lies in their complexity. Living beings are more complex than non-living objects. Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins explains that mollusk cephalopods, such as octopuses and squids, changing their skin color in an instant is a deliberately performed life phenomenon. The intention may be for survival or warning predators. Being alive and having a life depend on this complexity. Humans are complex both physically and mentally because they are alive. To celebrate life is to embrace this complexity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

It is said that greed leads to ruin, but before that, it also leads to regret. In other words, the result of regret is ruin. If there is no greed, there is no regret. Greed also triggers sensitive and excessive reactions to wounds. The sensitive response of a human being is linked to wounds, and those wounds reinforce greed once again. Greed provides the strength to face hardship, but success often becomes the seed of a curse because of its aftereffects. We cannot completely eliminate greed, but our lives can be happy only if we manage it wisely. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

When farming, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t rain, but if it rains just twice a year, it ruins the farm. If it rains heavily, it causes a flood; if it doesn’t rain for a long time, it leads to drought. Regularity is a crucial habit that enriches our lives. So is money. Money that comes in regularly every month is more valuable than money that arrives all at once. A small but consistent action taken every day can radically change your life. However, the reason this is hard for us is that the effect must accumulate over a certain period before you can feel a significant difference. Patience accomplishes very valuable things that money cannot achieve. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
