What is the meaning of wealth? Is money the same as money?

The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is bustling for profit. Since ancient times, people all want to have wealth and a better life. In order to achieve this goal, people bravely followed suit. But what's the "wealth" you've been working hard for all your life? Do you really know?

Say "rich" first. Rich people are not necessarily rich. The rich are often more stingy, greedy and stingy than the poor. This is very common in life. It is interesting that our ancestors created words. Look at the word "greed", which is very close to the word "poverty". As long as people are greedy, even if you have money, you are almost poor. Because you are not satisfied, even if you have more money, you will still feel poor and not satisfied. If you want more, you will never be satisfied. This is the real poverty and contempt.

The real "wealth" lies not in how much money you have, but in contentment. Only when people are satisfied can they be happy and feel happy. Being content means not wanting, and not wanting is having money. This is real wealth. Rich people often suffer from a lot of depression and insomnia. Why? Because he has been striving for material things and a good living environment all his life. He pursued too much, but he couldn't get it, and the pressure was too great, which caused long-term psychological pain and eventually led to illness. Therefore, the real wealth lies in contentment. "The contented are always happy."

Then say "expensive". The government has done a lot and has great power. Is it expensive? Is it expensive to drive a luxury car and live in a luxury villa? Is it expensive to wear designer clothes and eat luxurious meals? Not necessarily! If you have no virtue and don't know how to do good deeds and be kind to others, others will look down on you even if they don't say it on the surface.

Therefore, the real "expensive" is to be respected, and "respecting others is expensive." You have done something that people respect, admire, agree with and even let the public follow suit. This is a noble man. When others see you, they really respect and admire you.

Let's look at Ms. Xu Zhe. This is really a life full of love. 1 10 years old, she was still a volunteer in a nursing home, taking care of the poor and sick people younger than her. She is frugal in food, clothing, housing and transportation every day. The furniture has been used for 50 or 60 years, and she is reluctant to throw it away when the clothes are worn out. She must make her own insoles or give them away. Many of her clothes were picked up from the garbage. Therefore, Singaporeans are proud of her and regard her as a "national treasure". Everyone respects and loves her. This is the "expensive" place.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with pursuing wealth, but we should know what real wealth is and not blindly pursue vanity, so that the road of life will not go astray.
