We usually measure ‘value’ in terms of ‘price.’ Value is an abstract concept, and price is a number expressed in terms of value. Value is an economic concept, and price is an accounting concept. The problem is that the price in terms of value is not always the same as the price. Of course, the same value differs depending on the situation and also varies according to the values and beliefs of the person who recognizes it. This deviation is detrimental to some and beneficial to others. Facts are unscientific phenomena that circumstances create. Therefore, insight into the situation is a valuable ability in any case in this world. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A balloon will pop when placed atop a single pointed needle. However, if you drive the needle with multiple thumbtacks arranged like a rug, the balloon won’t burst. This illustrates that the impact of sharpness can depend on context. Even if we face inner turmoil, the way we position our challenges and the situations we create can transform those difficulties into connections rather than sources of pain. The key lies in how we manage the distribution of sharpness rather than the sharpness itself. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
