Throughout the ages, every era has its own standards. In ancient times, there were several eras that could be called good days, namely the reign of Wenjing in the Han Dynasty, the prosperity of Zhenguan Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, and the prosperity of Kangqian in the Qing Dynasty. Of course, there are other good times, but compared to these, they are not worth mentioning. However, in terms of these prosperous times or good times combined, compared to the thousands of years of Chinese history, that is, hundreds of years. In other words, in addition to these times, many times have been filled with turmoil, strife, famine, division, and so on. So, for today's prosperous times, it is obvious that we have surpassed the requirements of that era, but for ordinary people, after the problem of safety and food and clothing is solved, their standards for a good life are also completely different, after all, everyone is different, and the goals pursued are also different. So today, we are going to pour you a chicken soup and drum it up, hoping to cause everyone to reflect.
Yesterday I watched a video and after watching it I burst into tears. A reporter said to a child in a poor area: "It's about to be the New Year, what are your wishes?" The child said: I don't want those new wishes, but I can't realize them anyway. The reporter continued: Then think about it now, this year's will definitely be realized, and we will help you realize your New Year's wishes. The child thought for a while and said to the reporter: That is, I want my grandmother to wear a new dress, and my grandmother wears old clothes every time she celebrates the New Year. Let's take a look at how simple and simple the child's wishes are, and for this child, he does not have too many extravagant desires, and being able to let his grandmother wear a new dress on the New Year is what he sees as the "best day".
For the people in war-torn areas, peace and stability are the greatest good days; for the people who are struggling to make ends meet, being able to eat and clothe themselves is the greatest good day; for the people in the 80s, the upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones are the best days; in the early 90s, it was estimated that the standard of "10,000 households" was also a good day in the minds of many people; and today, our standard of a good life has changed again. People in rural areas want to buy a house in the city, those who buy a house want to buy a house in the school district, the school district house is too small, they want to change to a big villa, and they want to go abroad when they have a big villa. Rural children want to go to school, and those in the city want to go to the best school, and the best school hopes that their children can achieve the best grades, and when the children have the best grades, they want to study abroad. There is no money to think about money, those who have money want power, and those who have money and power think more.
Have we ever considered that in fact, many of us are pursuing a good life, which has far exceeded the standard of a good life. It is even polite to say that the good life that some people pursue is actually not absolute, but relative. If you live better than others, you will have a good life, and if you are in a favorable position, you will have a good life, which is actually a bad ideological concept at present. To take a simple example, when our friends earn 2,000 a month, you are very satisfied with an income of 5,000, which is a good day for you; when others suffer from illness, you feel that having health is a good life; when your colleagues complete a job together, you are the only one who receives a commendation, which is a good day for you; it is also a good day for you when someone else rides an electric car and you can buy a car.
In fact, for an ordinary person, no matter how much money there is, no matter how much money there is, there is no harmony in the family, there is no contradiction, there is humility and concession; if the home is warm, the fine tea and light rice are also sweet; if the home is cold, the delicacies of the sea are also difficult to swallow. The elderly can be tolerant, husbands and wives can communicate, children have smiles, and everything is prosperous. In fact, the key to a good day is in a love word, in a harmony word, and in a harmony word. There are no winds and waves, it is best to be plain, there are no quarrels and quarrels, it is best to be kind, there is no sickness and suffering, health is the best, parents are healthy, husband and wife respect and love each other, and children are healthy and lovely, this is a really good life.
In fact, for many of us in society, the reason why there are some resentments between officials and the rich is because of fairness and justice, and there are also reasons why we are not satisfied. As the old saying goes, the masses do not suffer from poverty but suffer from inequality, and the famous master of Chinese studies, Zeng Shiqiang, once gave an example: a Chinese originally had no job, and when he found a job with a monthly income of 3,000, he felt that it was a good life for him; but when he knew that others earned 5,000 a month, this concept changed. In fact, we are also the same in society, Wang Shuo profoundly summed up human nature in one sentence: the reason why we feel unfair is because we are in an unfair disadvantageous position. For example, if we think that corrupt officials are hateful, but when you yourself are corrupt officials, what do you think? Do you feel that you are hateful? Of course, each of us must condemn this undesirable social phenomenon, so that the whole society can progress, but we must know more than four words: contentment and happiness.
Human desires are infinite, and if a person is controlled by desires, then he will not be able to live a good life in his entire life, because he does not know satisfaction. Although each of us has our own different standards and concepts of a good life, it is not the same for the country. In the eyes of the state, the good life of the masses is actually in six aspects: housing, education for the young, medical care for the sick, support for the elderly, a beautiful environment, and social fairness and justice. Judging from the country's major policies in recent years, the country has also been committed to improving these six aspects, and it is precisely because everyone's expectations are different, so it will lead to many social problems. Therefore, we must learn to be content, to be grateful, and to wait. The emergence of many social problems does not occur overnight, and it takes time to completely change. We can't take it for granted that we can change the society according to our own wishes, but we can constantly improve ourselves according to the rules of the current society, and only when we work together and work together, our environment will be better and better, and our country will become more and more prosperous and powerful.
At the beginning of the new year, the general secretary said in his New Year's speech: Let the common people live a good life! Yes, our current social atmosphere is somewhat distorted, our values have deviated to some extent, we do not pay attention to the bottom line, we do not stress morality, and the problem of social injustice still exists. The goal of the country is grand and simple, and in the final analysis, it is to make life better for ordinary people. In recent years, there have been one after another concentrated rectification activities in various areas of people's livelihood, and we must see the determination of the state even more. As long as we have such a decision and courage, as long as we have such a firm direction and banner, I believe that in the near future, our motherland will become stronger, the life of the common people will be better and better, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will certainly be realized.
