What is the wish of ordinary people?
From the traditional concept, there is a family, there are parents, there are children, there are lovers, and there is a full deposit in the pocket, that is the most perfect life in the eyes of ordinary people.
From the current concept, as long as the whole family lives a peaceful and stable life, more happiness, less sorrow, that is the most perfect day in the eyes of ordinary people.
Comparing these two concepts, we can understand that people's desires and expectations for happiness are slowly decreasing. From the past "life" to the current emphasis on "survival", this is the most obvious change.
When it comes to "life" and "survival", we must have such an understanding that survival is not only the basis of life, but also the basis of what everyone wants to stand in the world.
With the continuous development of material society, why is people's pursuit gradually biased towards "survival"?
I remembered the saying that when the desires of ordinary people are not satisfied, then they will automatically reduce their desires until the day when they can adapt to reality.
Today, young people gradually lose their desires, and middle-aged people gradually live no longer stable, which will become a fact that no one can reverse. Arguably, this will be the trend of the future.

The desire of young people is gradually low.
This group of young people, with boiling blood, high morale, and the arrogance of the newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, should be the generation with the most inflated desires, but why are they gradually reducing their desires now?
Desire is reduced, which is the inevitable result of "internal and external attack".
To put it bluntly, external pressures, as well as the internal friction of the self, will become the whetstone of desire, and their desires and edges and corners will be slowly consumed. At this time, they can only lose the desire they should have.
In the past two years, I have met several young people who have graduated from famous schools, and they have come to first-tier cities to work hard, and they do not want to return to rural life at all.
I asked them, "You can't afford to buy a house in a first-tier city, you can't save any money, and you're so far from home, so why do you have to leave the countryside?" ”
These young people only said this sentence: "Instead of staying in the countryside, living a meaningless life, a lifetime of waste, and no chance, it is better to go to the big city to fight, even if you don't buy a house, can't afford to get married, at least try your best." Others, even for the future, do not have too many ideas. ”
In fact, it is not that young people do not understand, but that they have long understood that with their own strength and their own ability, it is impossible to gain a foothold in a big city. At this time, choosing to fight with low desire has become their most helpless choice.
Young people who were born in the countryside should be impressed by this.
03
Middle-aged people are no longer stable and will become a trend.
When people reach middle age, everyone pleads for such a thing - stability.
The whole family is safe and sound, gradually stabilized, and there are no more huge twists and turns, which is the wish of ordinary middle-aged people. However, stability is not something that ordinary people can do after all.
We may wish to consider the question, what is the definition of "stability"?
Unfortunately, the so-called stability is that no matter what problems you encounter and what risks you encounter, you can be unharmed, and even deal with them with ease. However, this requires the blessing of deep assets.
In other words, the stability that ordinary people despise is ultimately a dream of nothingness.
Take the contemporary middle-aged people, they have the old to feed, the small to raise, and the middle of the couple to survive. If you are unlucky, you will also have to carry a huge mortgage. It's just that unemployment is beckoning to them, and everything is soaring towards them. All problems will come unexpectedly.
I think of a friend in Shenzhen, who now has more than 20,000 mortgages to repay every month, and he has temporarily lost his job, and the whole family is particularly anxious. This is the invisible sorrow of these big city people.
Therefore, every family has a difficult scripture to read, and everyone has their own pressures and problems. Any grain of dust that falls from the times is a disaster for ordinary people.

Low-desire life will become a trend.
Friends who do business should feel that it is not easy to do any business now, even the boss is not good. In this way, they shrink their investment funds and even stop investing.
Just think, the boss is not good, then the hit workers will not be more depressed?
All problems are like dominoes, as long as one of its rings is torn down, then everything behind it will have a knock-on effect.
Just like the current environment, due to the problems caused by the disease, it affects people's mentality. At this time, it is obvious that they choose a life of low desire.
Why do some people choose the Buddhist system while the inner scrolls are flooding? Why do some people choose to reduce their desires while having serious internal attrition?
You know, the only way to avoid the risk of not being able to find a job and gradually stabilize your life is "low desire".
This point, look at the circle of friends to understand.
In the past, the circle of friends was still a grand scene, either someone went to travel, or someone opened a big meal, anyway, the picture of enjoyment was dazzling. Today, most people, in addition to saying some chicken soup and comforting themselves, have long since lost their previous impulses. This is the reality.
Again, to lower one's desire to spend the winter is to conserve the inner heat and wait for the day when the spring blossoms.
