We are born, and we die.
Because there are buyers, sellers also exist.
A homeless person in the subway will die one day, and John D. Rockefeller is already dead.
Warren Buffett exists because there are people who go broke.
The world is fair.
However, capitalism is not fair. What made capitalism so unfair?
Everything has its own ‘meaning.’
Take beer, for example. It, too, has a meaning.
- Beer = Makes you feel good when you drink it.
- TV Show = Keeps you focused without worries.
- Drinking beer while watching a TV Show = A state of feeling good with zero worries.
“This means it is the best possible moment for me to demand something.”
Would it backfire by disturbing a good time?
No. People are born and then they die. We are just living in between. Everyone is equal.
That is why people prefer the middle ground.
That is why that precise timing is the best.
To grasp the meaning of situations and things, and to balance them by speaking uncomfortable truths to someone in a comfortable state—
This very action is what it means to ‘hit the right timing.’
Knowing the ‘Meaning’ and the ‘Timing’
It is because people do not know the ‘meaning’ and the ‘timing.’ That is what made capitalism unfair.
The Eastern philosopher Mencius once said:
“Those who obey the flow of Heaven (the great rhythm of destiny) shall thrive, while those who try to force against it through tantrum shall eventually lose their energy and perish.” > — Mencius —
This means one must understand the meaning to hit the right timing.
It also implies that only by knowing the meaning can one truly align with the timing.
Let us begin this journey to study the ‘meaning’ behind capitalism, so we never miss the ‘timing.’
“Embrace everything that happens, good or bad, as necessary and beautiful.” > — Friedrich Nietzsche —
Let us uncover the meaning behind all things—good or bad—and embrace them as our inevitably beautiful timing!
