When we exchange what we need, we use money as a medium instead of trading ‘goods for goods.’ In this context, money acts as a means of exchange. When we exchange what we need, we also build wealth by passing on added value to each other. In other words, money functions as both a medium of exchange and a measure of value, as well as a tool for accumulating wealth. But isn’t this a bit strange? Although exchange value comes from goods and surplus is generated from this exchange value, the object used to measure and accumulate wealth is money, not goods. This is because money alone has the privilege called ‘compulsory circulation power.’ In other words, even if value is created, added value cannot be realized unless it’s exchanged. The ability to enable such exchanges is what we call ‘compulsory circulation power.’ - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Weakness is merely another expression of strength and represents a phenomenon where the same attribute manifests in different forms. In other words, the concept of “ weak or strong ” resembles both ends of a seesaw ; when one side goes down, the other always rises. When an issue arises in one muscle of the body, the surrounding muscles take over that role, or several muscles work together to compensate for the weakness. Rather than focusing solely on the end of the seesaw that has dropped, one should also acknowledge the opposing side that has risen as a result. Weaknesses and strengths are states of being, not conclusions or outcomes. The same applies to successes and failures . - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
