Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

Like the view of humans, the view of animals also greatly influences our lives. When a domestic puppy dies, we are not indifferent; we commemorate and mourn as we would at a human funeral. However, how should we understand the phenomenon of savoring and even admiring the tenderloin steak on the table without guilt? A person may choose a vegetarian diet due to health issues, but often, it is also influenced by their views on animals. Food, clothing, and shelter are essential for human survival, yet we are less aware of how our views on animals impact these areas compared to our views on humans. Humans coexist with animals. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

All added values must be expressed in terms of ‘Price’ to create a ‘transaction’, and only when a transaction is concluded is the added value realized. Even if you possess added value but no transactions occur, the value cannot be realized in a self-transaction; it merely exists as intrinsic value. Wealth is formed only when the added value is realized and accumulated, making a ‘transaction’ essential. This implies that the formation of wealth requires a “party to deal with (counterparty).” This is known as a ‘customer’; some of them purchase your value, while others may be your competitors or disruptors who could diminish your added value or hinder its realization. Therefore, it is crucial to understand precisely what kind of person or company is acquiring your value-added. Not all deals are beneficial to you. If you cannot make this judgment, you are merely doing what is often termed “something good” for others, rather than for yourself. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

This world is designed to obscure the distinction between cause and effect. Accurately identifying the issue is crucial for escaping a crisis or solving a problem. The first step in addressing a problem is to differentiate between cause and effect. After that comes the verification of the identification. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The smooth article seems natural, not because it was written spontaneously, but because it underwent revision. Much of the natural writing was not created automatically; instead, it was a result of the writer’s intention. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The value of one piece of bread is greater when you have only two pieces than when you have ten. The same principle applies to how we use our time. Age serves as a significant measure of how we perceive the quality of time. As people approach death, they tend to place a higher value on time. In other words, the quality of time spent varies with age. While mistakes made in your twenties can be overlooked, tolerating the same mistakes in your fifties or sixties indicates a different quality, despite the same amount of time passing. Growing older means gaining a deeper understanding of responsibility and acceptance. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts” 

We realize something while writing: we do not compose because we know. As we write down our problems, we instinctively understand what we know, what we don’t know, and what the main point is, which allows us to clarify precisely what it entails. Don’t just think; think as you write. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

I often say that the small things you consistently practice each day will change your life. People may think it is difficult to do so. However, this doesn’t mean that the practice itself is easy or hard; rather, it’s challenging to prioritize that little task every day. Why? Small things happen daily, and results take time to manifest, while small changes don’t significantly influence our profits. However, if these practices are regular and steady, it presents a different story. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
