Aristotle believed that happiness was the ultimate goal of human life. We often comfort ourselves by saying that wealth does not guarantee happiness, especially when money is tight. But is that really true? How much wealth do we actually need to feel happy? Psychologist Professor Eun-guk Seo suggests that Aristotle’s view is just a personal perspective—not a scientifically proven fact. He explains that, in nature, survival is the primary goal, and happiness is more of a tool for survival than an end in itself. So why do we work hard and strive to earn money, even in tough times? While money may not guarantee happiness, it can help us live more comfortably. In the end, economic activity is about survival—if we can’t meet our basic needs, it’s hard to enjoy happiness or convenience. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
There is a saying that bears perform tricks and their owners have money. Ownership, and thus rights, are powerful when they become a platform. The odds of making vast sums of money from video creators are small. However, most of them need video editing, regardless of their profits. In fact, rather than making money for video creators, video editing software companies make money. There are far more ads in job openings asking for editors than for video creators. The more online shopping malls there are, the more money delivery companies make. Since business is a competition within finite conditions, the primary virtue of business is to be in the best position above all else. It must be hard to get into the wrong line and compensate for it with something else. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
