The key to getting along isn’t with people, but with time. Time shapes both individuals and the environment. And the scariest phrase is, “This too shall pass!” As time goes on, good fortune can become a curse, and misfortune can turn into good luck. Therefore, nothing is more important than the ‘now’ when it comes to pursuing happiness. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

There’s a saying that after a flood, no water is left to drink. Those who see this as a metaphor grasp that it signifies that “usefulness” outweighs “quantity.” In contrast, literal interpreters might invest in stocks for “mineral water” due to an anticipated rise in demand for bottled water post-flood. This illustrates how interpretation and action can diverge significantly. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Diamonds are useless but expensive. At best, the usefulness of diamonds is just a hardness. There are many beautiful colored gems other than diamonds in the world. Paradoxically, diamonds are worth more because they are useless. A way for the rich to show off their wealth is to show that even if it is futile, they can pay for what others cannot. It is not the only value that is useful in the world. Value purely comes from a human. Focus on how human needs arise. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
