Debt : The essence of wealth is ‘debt.’ Liabilities are regarded as debt capital and included as assets in accounting . Isn’t it odd? Debt is classified as an asset... The fundamental idea that currency is created based on the principle that debt arises is crucial. Debt can serve a positive purpose by lowering opportunity costs , but it can also be harmful if not repaid, as it deprives others of their opportunity costs since it must be paid back. Managing debt properly is essential for a company's capabilities in certain situations. Understanding others’ debts can help maintain good credit. However, there are limits to examining others’ debts. Instead, we can monitor the flow of money as an apparent interest rate. Therefore, recognizing and responding to interest rate fluctuations during economic activities is extremely important. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In some cases, the outcome completes the intention to act. Although it wasn’t the original intention, it is a situation where the result of the action appears positively, and even the intention is glorified. Of course, the opposite can also occur. If the result of an action taken with good intentions is negative, those good intentions become a target for blame. It would be ideal if the intention and the result aligned, but that isn’t always the case. There are numerous instances where it is challenging to interpret this world full of deception and changes of heart with naivety alone. Yet, reality is shaped by the accumulation of results. If you achieve good results despite having bad intentions, it is considered luck. Skills cannot overcome luck. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The poorer persons are, the more likely they are to consider the system they are in, not their abilities or character. The poor are more likely to choose to live in ways that make them poorer. It's not because they're stupid, it's because the system they're in leads them to make those choices. Rutker Bregman, a Dutch historian and author, says that everyone is forced to make such decisions when they are placed in this environment. The way out of this system is to change your worldview. Poverty is a state of being, not an outcome. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
