Convergence : A phenomenon where a specific value or level moves toward a certain standard . A bubble occurs when a community’s value rises excessively due to overestimation , while an undervalued state is the opposite. Both eventually settle at a balanced value recognized by the community , called convergence. Bubbles and undervaluation represent states at any given time. If a seller sets a product at an excessively high price, it won’t sell indefinitely, and the seller will eventually lower the price. Market prices tend to converge. There isn’t a single correct market value, but converged values exist, and this phenomenon gives the market its meaning and existence. There’s no need to be arrogant when doing well, as your high wages will eventually align with the market price. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Jesus taught, “If you got slapped your right cheek, turn the other cheek.” One of the actions that the Jewish Qumran community denied and forbade was “pointing with the left hand.” Violations of this rule brought sanctions from the community. To hit the right cheek means the opponent strikes with an unclean left or right backhand. This cheek slap is deliberately insulting and humiliating rather than merely a pain-inflicting action. Therefore, this teaching of Jesus, “turn the other cheek,” suggests not allowing oneself to be struck by the back of the hand and can signify not being helpless but being active in nonviolent resistance without seeking revenge or retaliation. Perhaps this teaching carries a frightening meaning. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
