Like our article, you may wish to follow the following way to "pin" it!
People's hearts are not tired, they are tired of asking for too much. Life is not bitter, the bitter thing is too much desire.
People are middle-aged, old on the top and small on the bottom. The pressures of life make the deepest desires in the heart begin to work. If the desires of the heart are not restrained, they are often abandoned and their old age is desolate.
In particular, these three "desires" do not have to be pursued too much, too much, it is easy to cause trouble to themselves.
1
Don't love money too much, it is easy to become greedy
There are clouds in the "Chronicle of History": "The world is bustling, all for the benefit of the world; the world is bustling, all are for the benefit." ”
Money and power are what the world seeks, and neither is the source of evil, but greed.
If a person is too greedy, not only will he lose what he once had, but even he will fall into disaster.
Yan Song, the cabinet elder of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, was greedy, which led to the destruction of his family.
As the elder of the cabinet, he was deeply trusted by the Jiajing Emperor, and could be said to be above ten thousand people under one person, reaching a height that many people could not expect.
According to this development, even if there is nothing to do in the later period, the old age will not be too desolate.
However, in a high position, he did not understand what satisfaction was, and often used his position to embezzle and accept bribes. In the end, he was liquidated by the Jiajing Emperor, and not only confiscated all the family property, but also ended up with a beheading.
The root cause of this time lies in greed, in order to satisfy the vanity of the heart, regardless of their own position, this is the end of greed.
Money is something outside the body, and it is not brought with life or taken with death. Excessive pursuit will lead to loss of self, which will lead to disaster.
People who are truly happy are often not those who have money, but those who know how to be satisfied and will control their desires. Such people often live more easily, and there is no dirt in their hearts.
"Wine-colored wealth" I do not take, "wind and snow moon" does not touch the edge, so, the rest of life is safe!

Don't be too selfish, easy to suffer big losses
As the saying goes: Man is not for himself, and the heavens are damned. But if you are everywhere for yourself, you will also suffer a big loss.
Wang Xifeng in "Dream of the Red Chamber" is a selfish person, in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, so that he takes a wrong step.
He regards the situation of his subordinates as nothing, and is bent on seeking his own selfish interests; he designs to frame Second Sister You only to vent the resentment in his heart; he bends the law for personal gain in the name of others, accepts bribes and benefits from them, and so on.
Did this make her life better? No, but the old age was even more miserable.
The root cause of all this is the selfish desire of the heart, and the failure to stop it, and eventually it is missed for life.
The Ming Dynasty literary scholar Lü Kun once said: "Selfishness is an obstacle to making people talented." ”
Selfish people are eventually dragged down by themselves.
Because this kind of person always holds the mentality of luck to get the benefits that are not their own, but when they finally have nothing, they complain that others have not saved themselves.
Just as the so-called gaze into the abyss is too long, the abyss will return to stare. Being too selfish, only thinking about yourself, not thinking about others, will only personally cut off your own back road and bring trouble to yourself.
In the "Zhu Zi Family Training", it is said: "Everything should be left room, and it is not appropriate to go further; there must be room for doing things, and it is necessary to be responsible for doing good and abstaining from doing everything." ”
In this life, people will not be good for a thousand days, and only by being kind to others is to be kind to themselves.
Calculation is not as good as cooperation, and dependence is not as good as self-reliance. Moderate generosity will make you more respected.

Don't be too jealous, it is easy to attract disasters
The ancients said: "The heart is tainted, and does not like him; hence the name jealousy." "Jealousy is like a double-edged sword, not only hurting others but also harming oneself.
In the movie "East Evil West Poison", there is such a line: "Anyone can become vicious, as long as you have tried what is jealousy." ”
The Buddhist scriptures say: Everything has cause and effect. If you do good deeds and accumulate virtue, there will be good rewards, and if you do evil, the heavens will severely punish them.
Life has always been like this, when you sow what kind of cause, you will inevitably reap what kind of fruit.
Therefore, seeing others is not good, and in the end it will only make yourself fall into a catastrophe.
There is a heaven outside the heavens, and there are people outside the people, if you have a jealous heart, then it will not be long.
A little less jealousy, a little more effort, life will go smoother and smoother.
Life does not need to be compared, go your own way, live your own life, if you keep staring at others, then you will ignore yourself.
Everyone has their own way of life, why be jealous of others and compete with yourself. Jealousy equates to dissatisfaction and only makes our lives more depressed and miserable.
When people reach middle age, they are low-key, do things steadily, live their own lives, and enjoy their own lives is king!
The Buddha said that contentment is bliss, and non-covetousness is consummation.
There will always be traps waiting for us on the road of life, and these three desires are one of them.
The greatest sorrow of life is to chase unlimited desires with a limited life, miss many precious things, and not enjoy true happiness.
Greedy and excessive love of money: leading to indulgence in vanity, unable to extricate themselves;
Selfishness is too heavy, unrepentant: resulting in the dispersion of relatives and friends, one person is lonely and widowed;
Too jealous, not content: leads to self-loss and disaster.
Contentment is bliss, and when a person reaches middle age, throws away the three kinds of "desires", the road will become wider and wider, and the blessing will come uninvited.
