Cost Accounting

We analyze our mistakes in order to recognize familiar situations in the future.

"What should I have done? Where did I go wrong?"

This can often lead to playing out alternate realities in our imagination. If we are not careful, we may become resentful of catalysts that led us down the current path. However, maturity has schooled us that others will pose as irreproachable, regardless of the positions of power they've held in and over your life. Once you are cast into the voids of true liberty, your soul and spirit are theirs alone, with none other to lay claim or place blame.

Many believe cosmic and karmic forces control the rhythms of our lives. Others, that a deity is ordering each specific step. The new catchphrase of our time is that while men and women are subject to lies, mathematics reins supreme. In our complexly algebraic existences, we chose the next variable in hopes that it will produce a desired equation. Many copy examples from the textbooks and receive similar solutions. Others are gifted enough to discover new formulas based off experimentation.

Businesses are almost always concerned with cutting costs. It is the best way to raise profits without raising the price for the end customer. I've analyzed many of the disappointments and failures of the past, knowing that these are the things that make me who I am. Recently I've garnered much resentment toward different variants in my life, attributed to the perceived inefficiencies they bore in their assumed role. The resentment felt bears direct correlation to the idea that the costs expensed were "too high" and "unnecessary."

What determines if the cost was too high if you have not yet determined your end profit?
