Volatility: Expectation and despair arise from our reactions to change; they stem from the common root. Some argue that despair comes from failed expectations, or that we expect because we despair; however, even fulfillment often disappoints. Both are responses to volatility—how we perceive shifts in circumstances. A positive (+) change is expectation; a negative (-) one is despair. Since volatility dominates our world and nothing is static, the magnitude of change matters more than permanence. Understanding volatility is crucial for navigating life successfully. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

History professor Yuval Noah Harari said, "The most distinguishing feature between humans and other animals is the ability to believe not exist imagination." If you eat a banana exchanged with a bill from the chimpanzee, then the chimpanzee must be angry with you. The bill is just a thing to believe non-existent imagination each other in the human world, it's never important and meaningful for the chimpanzee. Unless the belief is to exchange the value, the money is just paper. This belief makes our social community. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
