Macroscopic and microscopic perspectives sometimes reveal contradictions or conflicts of logic. We must consider the variable of time when forming our thoughts and judgments, because in many cases what is considered right macroscopically may not be appropriate microscopically. In stock investing, stocks deemed correct from a long-term view are often seen as poorly chosen from a short-term perspective. Our values and judgments are sometimes praised and at other times criticized over a certain period. It seems like an innocent prank over time. - 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”
