Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

The key to getting along isn’t with people, but with time. Time shapes both individuals and the environment. And the scariest phrase is, “This too shall pass!” As time goes on, good fortune can become a curse, and misfortune can turn into good luck. Therefore, nothing is more important than the ‘now’ when it comes to pursuing happiness. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Existing economics teaches us that mankind invented the monetary system because barter was inconvenient. Despite having a monetary system, people still felt that even currency issued by it was inconvenient; therefore, economists explain that they created the current credit economy system. However, evidence found by anthropologists contradicts that explanation. In other words, it is argued that the credit transaction system existed before the monetary system, and then the credit system became distrusted for some reason. As a result, the monetary system was created and eventually replaced. Cryptocurrency today is a mathematical algorithm that makes it impossible to forge or alter transaction records. This happened because we don’t trust humans, and in ancient times, there was a more advanced credit transaction system. Don’t be fooled into thinking that the present is more advanced than the past. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Wealth can only be accumulated when ownership is secured by humans. Debt is a relative concept that stems from ownership and establishes the idea that others’ property must be returned to the original owner. Debts are useful when managed properly, but they also come with the burden of repayment. The obligation to return others’ property is rooted in human morality, which is ultimately linked to the foundation of economic activity. Living with good people is a crucial factor in achieving wealth. Therefore, people come before money. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

It is said that men put their words in their hearts, and women put their hearts in their words. Men simply want to present the facts, while women seek empathy. Men speak to solve problems, but women talk to relieve their minds. Although the language used is the same, the grammar of the mind works is often different. Even if their expressions differ, both are necessary; because they are different, we don’t need to build walls. It’s hard, but accepting ‘difference’ opens up a new world. Therefore, the first step to happiness is communication. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

1 + 1 = 2 is an unchangeable mathematical fact. However, in real life, there is a synergistic effect that can make the calculation result 3 or more. Therefore, even though we believe and accept certain axioms, there may be cases where they do not always hold true in extraordinary circumstances. One such case is the belief that reason exists as the opposite of emotion. Perhaps reason is not the opposite of emotion, but rather a part of it or a different form of emotion. How can we classify reason and emotion? The reason we recognize might actually be logic that originates from emotions. There is certainly a concept called ‘reason,’ but its true nature may be unknown to us. Ultimately, emotions will likely dominate our existence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

People recognize that perfection is a worthwhile trait, and everyone strives for it. However, humans cannot attain perfection, and we must admit that pursuing it can cause major setbacks. Imperfection and immaturity often make others more empathetic. No matter how excellent or meaningful something is, if a person rejects it, it won’t be helpful. The empty space in a picture provides us with relaxation and comfort. Nobody likes stress. Children are seen as adorable and lovable because their surroundings are spacious and clean. Emotions flow into empty space. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

If you’re alone on an uninhabited island, you don’t need money; you only need resources and labor to process those resources for survival. In other words, there’s no need for an exchange-based economy. The exchange of goods led to the development of an economic system that dramatically increases efficiency and productivity. The monetary system was created because society consists of many people living together. To facilitate exchange, value had to be measured, and a price assigned to that value. The foundation of wealth is built on production and exchange. We all rely on others to survive. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
