In any business, a lessee who can pay the rent on real estate with the profits from that business is the most qualified to own the property. Businesses that generate profits based on real estate, such as stores, enhance the value of the real estate by creating local commercial areas with their sales profits. For the lessee’s contribution, the landowner can pay off the bank loan taken to purchase the property. Proceeds from business sales go to the business owner; however, as a result of the lessee’s business, the owner of the building effortlessly earns real estate revenue.

When a prominent cultural innovator escapes monotony and creates an alleyway that embodies a fresh cultural identity, a new attraction emerges, making latecomers envious of this hideout.

Human beings don't know the substance of time. The time we know is only a sign expressed mathematically and astronomically by the machine "clock." Human life under the minute-unit system began when human beings lived with a comparatively precise machine. Before the Industrial Revolution, a concept of time naturally followed the ordinary way of life. When a promise was made, the condition was, "Let's meet before dinner."

The framework that the human being makes, makes the human being again. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
