To be in debt means using future time in advance. If you go into debt to avoid a difficult situation right now without awareness because you think, “I can pay it back later,” you will experience the cruelty of life against the fairness of time. Assuming that income does not change and the present is maintained, the future spent in advance will again be insufficient when the future that has been drawn up in the coming time becomes the present. In the end, this means you have to continue incurring debt. Not only do you have to repay a debt, but you also have to pay interest as compounded interest. Therefore, the present that has spent the future ahead of the past is poorer. Moreover, prices are higher than in the past. Most people in this world do not understand why debt is a burden due to compound interest. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The most difficult writing in the Bible that I’ve ever read is ‘Job.’ In introducing ‘Job,’ the Bible states that he was a rich man of strong faith and the head of a happy family, but it does not explain the origins of the blessings he enjoyed. As he endures indescribable hardships, the reasons for his suffering remain unclear. In other words, he was blessed without explanation and suffered without explanation. The first part of the book of Job, which describes his blessings, contrasts with the latter part, in which he loses everything and eventually recovers for the first time. Yet, there is no explanation for this recovery either. Job’s life serves as a profound example of human experience. For many, the most painful aspect is to enjoy blessings without reason and to lose those blessings without reason. Our lives compel us to confront this reality, and that is the essence of our existence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
