Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

Growth and development stem not from accumulating achievements but from various forms of “exchange.” This means that they arise from the value I contribute in relation to the value of something else. This idea applies universally across all communities where people gather, whether in families, companies, or churches, and this exchange can be understood as “sacrifice.” Often, we sacrifice some internal members for the benefit of the group or employees for the satisfaction of external customers. The nature and reasons behind the sacrifice determine the organization’s morality, while the intentions and outcomes of the sacrifice demonstrate its ethical standing. Thus, the phrase “good influence” poses social risks; this is because a sacrificial mechanism exists in our world, allowing for value exchanges that may not necessarily be positive. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In business, a “transaction” is essential. This transaction focuses on addressing human needs. To fulfill these needs, one must choose methods that align with one’s moral values while also recognizing the limitations in addressing them. Therefore, businesses should satisfy these needs within the bounds of morality. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

“Road Runner” in Warner Bros. animation “Looney Tunes” only runs. To catch it, the villain, “Wile E. Coyote,” digs a trap but only gets beaten by himself every time. However, if it is not a cartoon, the severity of the accidents that “Wile E. Coyote” suffers traps him every time is fierce. We do not acknowledge it. We even watch with the children and laugh together. Because we think that in our brains, “This is animation; it’s just a cartoon, not reality…” Realism has a profound effect on our morality. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Some question the need for ethics and a mission in business, even when the company is profitable. A transaction involves meeting needs and recognizing values, both of which connect to “morality.” Trust underpins all transactions, and morality is its foundation. While anyone can err, it is our moral obligation to make amends. Though it may be tempting to disregard that morality by persisting in trade, there are decisions that, without an ethical framework, can lead to irreversible consequences. This is not merely a mistake. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Laziness is the inability to prioritize work. It's an attitude about self-worth. It's not a moral issue of putting off work that needs to be done or a speed issue of slowing down the work process. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Those who value ‘justice' and ‘morality' tend to regard even a little ‘exaggerated’ expression as ‘false’ or ‘immoral.’ They also reject ‘rhetorical exaggeration' to emphasize expression. But ‘exaggeration' is only important for its ‘intention and purpose’ and is by no means ‘false’ in conveying meaning. ‘Rhetorical exaggeration’ is not a fabrication, but an emphasis. Rather, people want to prove their own integrity, and then push the ‘rhetorical exaggeration' to the one side as it is false and use that 'rhetorical exaggeration’ as a way to intimidate someone who used it is immoral. - Joseph’s "just my thoughts"
