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”
Sin starts with fear and ends with courage. It then repeats with ease and profit. When sins are repeated, people become desensitized to the harm caused to others and even employ convincing logic that justifies the sinner’s morals. Unfortunately, humans are pretty inventive when it comes to sin. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
