The greater the mountain, the less we consider its height due to its overall size. It’s not merely the height or depth that defines a significant mountain; rather, it’s the climate. A mountain that experiences changing weather patterns is indeed greater. Similarly, the greater a person is, the broader and more diverse their capacity for change, which should not be taken lightly. We must refrain from judging those individuals with our imperfect cognitive abilities. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0221

Toms Shoes is synonymous with justification marketing through charity. People first praised the idea that if you buy one pair of shoes, you donate another pair to developing countries for free. However, soon after, the donation was criticized by findings from an NGO that indicated it took away jobs for youth in the area. Toms Shoes eventually faced a bankruptcy crisis and decided to hand over management to its creditors. Are there any “good things” in the world? In this hyper-connected society that humanity has never experienced, it is difficult to prevent the deterioration of good intentions or control their effects as intended. Therefore, we must not forget that even if there is something good, it is never something to be proud of. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
