One of the key principles of money is ‘opportunity cost.’ It means that when I buy something, I have to give up something else in return. We think we buy because we need something, but we often forget that we could buy something else instead. We rarely consider ‘opportunity cost’ when making a purchase. We do not compare other values against our needs. Buying something means giving up something else, but we often don’t realize it. When we spend money, we should also consider the ‘opportunity cost’; yet, in reality, we aren’t trained to do so. By making a purchase, we bypass the value comparison that may not offer any additional benefits. Maybe it’s because we lack knowledge, or perhaps the idea isn’t appealing. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Religion generates “power” through its architectural design. This spatial design instills power independent of external influences. In churches, pews confine movement, making the congregation face the priest in the pulpit. “Power” emerges when many individuals focus their attention on a single entity. Limiting church services due to the COVID-19 crisis is more than just a financial setback for the Church; it indicates a significant shift in religious authority. Islam addressed spatial concerns not by modifying architecture but by ensuring prayers are directed appropriately at scheduled times. Regulations also contribute to the establishment of power. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
