Antibiotics are agents that eliminate bacteria. Since bacteria are living organisms, they can develop resistance when individuals misuse antibiotics, resulting in so-called “resistance.” Consequently, antibiotics are not always effective against bacteria. The widespread use of antibiotics can diminish the chances of treating future patients by fostering bacterial resistance. Therefore, pharmaceutical companies that produce antibiotics establish ethical guidelines for fair market competition. It is advisable to administer one antibiotic to target a specific bacterium. However, developing a new antibiotic and achieving profitability typically takes about 20 years, presenting a daunting challenge. Additionally, some individuals aggressively market health supplements, often disregarding ethical considerations. Those involved in health and wellness must exercise great care. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

All values are interconnected and relative. There is no such thing as an absolute value. For instance, is the value of the goose that lays golden eggs due to the goose itself, or because of the golden eggs it produces? Are the productive forces of life indeed more precious, or does gold hold greater value? If you find yourself on the brink of starvation without food, which is more valuable: the goose that lays the golden egg or the one that lays ordinary eggs? Value depends on context and circumstances, as it is inherently relative and changeable. In essence, all values fluctuate. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Imagine you have a goose that lays golden eggs (how wonderful that would be!). According to philosophy, there are three primary approaches to utilizing this goose. The first person, driven by hunger, decides to cut open the goose, retrieve a golden egg, and sell it. The second individual manages hunger differently by selling the golden eggs as they are produced. Lastly, the third person opts to lease the goose to earn rental income. This scenario illustrates earned income, financial income, and investments. Ultimately, it comes down to how you choose to manage your time (profit in fixed terms) to fit your needs. Wealth is defined by circumstances and the passage of time. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
