Painting is media and power. The mural in the medieval cathedral was considered for the illiterate who could not read the Bible. Only priests had access to type information. This was power. The Reformation weakened this power. New media changes the power. It creates power or moves. Our daily lives exist in this power. Writing, photography, and graphics still influence power. If you need help understanding the power change or shift, you do half art and half business. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Economic activity must accompany a counterparty. Since people couldn't live alone anyway, they exchanged whatever goods met their needs, and as a result, an "economic system" was created. The standard of exchange is called "value" and the numerical representation of it is called "price. "Value" and "price" certainly do not necessarily match, and one of the main reasons is "competition. In the end, value is exchanged for price. Values are offered at the pricing initially presented by others or at a provider's insistence that wants to earn profit at first. If only the offered price is recognized by others, the recognized price is accepted as its determined value. The price of one's wage agreed upon with another is the real price of one. All other evaluations and recognitions except the above are only self-justifications and excuses.

"Apples are the fruit" is a true proposition. At this time, "apples" are a Sufficient Condition to be fruit, and vice versa, because the "fruit to be an apple is more necessary for other conditions such as "red, round", the fruit is a Necessary Condition to become an apple. If the proposition of "If you respect someone, you'll get married" is "true," it's a "Sufficient Condition" to find someone you admire for marriage, but it's just only a "Necessary Condition" to find someone to marry for respect. Even with respect, you can not get married. You can't get married even if the Reverse Proposition is "true." Because marriage is a matter of "choice" before conditions or needs. If you want a respectable man, you can find a great man. To live comfortably, you can find a rich man. So, is there no Necessary-Sufficient Proposition for a marriage (conditions where both the proposition

"Discount" is the sacrifice of the value-added you have created. Failure to produce Value Added will result in no profit, and there is a greater chance that the net worth will decrease as much as the profit that has been reduced. The problem is the customer. "Discounting from the start" and "selling at a discount" are strictly different for customers. Neither can do it right if the sellers don't know the "cost". Surprisingly, many businessmen do business without knowing the value they add and the cost. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"

Those who value ‘justice' and ‘morality' tend to regard even a little ‘exaggerated’ expression as ‘false’ or ‘immoral.’ They also reject ‘rhetorical exaggeration' to emphasize expression. But ‘exaggeration' is only important for its ‘intention and purpose’ and is by no means ‘false’ in conveying meaning. ‘Rhetorical exaggeration’ is not a fabrication, but an emphasis. Rather, people want to prove their own integrity, and then push the ‘rhetorical exaggeration' to the one side as it is false and use that 'rhetorical exaggeration’ as a way to intimidate someone who used it is immoral. - Joseph’s "just my thoughts"
