Addiction arises from the allure of immediate rewards. These instant gratifications clearly activate our brains, attracting those who favor such rewards. They play a critical role in shaping human activities and contributing to addiction. For example, if a student struggling to focus notices immediate improvements after studying for just a little while, they are likely to keep studying diligently. Similarly, if stock investors can confirm the traded stock price a month or a year later during their transactions, they may lose interest in trading. The timing of rewards greatly influences human interactions and societal structures. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
While your efforts may have been sincere, claiming success due to those efforts is misleading. The Law of Equivalent Exchange suggests that behind my achievements lie the sacrifices of others, known or unknown to me. We should approach discussions of success with humility and avoid glorification. Neglecting the Law of Equivalent Exchange often leads to the onset of corruption. When considering the sacrifices made by others, we ought to refrain from celebrating our successes based solely on our dedication and hard work. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
