Effects of Ownership. It refers to valuing what one owns from one’s own perspective. The competition to buy tickets for the Duke University basketball game was very fierce, so the university decided to distribute tickets through a lottery. Some students applied for the same ticket, and among them, the winning students and dropout students were asked about their valuations: the winners were asked how much they would sell the ticket for, while the dropout students were asked how much they would buy it for. The lowest selling price from the winners was $2,410, whereas the highest buying price from the dropout students was $170. The difference was substantial. When asked why they thought so, ticket holders considered the value of giving up the ticket, while ticket buyers considered the value of exchanging cash for it. In other words, possession represented the benefit of sacrificing something else. Value judgments depend on what we own. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The hospital is where patients are healed. Therefore the hospital is full of patients. The hospital must be able to keep patients healthy and accommodate many patients at any given time. The church is a place to call sinners. There are undoubtedly many sinners in the church. But what if there are only sinners who do not repent? Filters are tools that get rid of dirty things and clean them. If we don't clean it, it's the dirtiest. "Self-purification" restores the original substance. If the instructor omits "self-purification," the absurd result will occur as in the previous example. Don't be sad or angry even if life deceives you. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
