In the bustling city, in a high-rise building with brilliant lights, two friends sit opposite each other and share a quiet time for dinner. They had known each other for a long time and had nothing to say about each other, but tonight's topic seemed a little unusual.
"Dude, how much have you earned this year?" the friend asked casually, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Oh, probably more than three million. You respond lightly, trying to make your voice sound as relaxed as possible.
"Wow!" exclaimed my friend, a look of envy on his face.
However, this number is making waves in your heart. You think of the hard work you've put into this income, and the countless days you spent staying up late and working overtime. But on this occasion, you can only choose to remain silent and do not want to talk too much about your success.
The next day, my friend comes to your house in a hurry, holding his father's test sheet in his hand. There is a helplessness and anxiety in his eyes that makes you feel a pang of heartache.
"Brother, my father is seriously ill and urgently needs money for surgery. Can you help me?" he said, choking, his voice shaking.
You look at his determined eyes, and your heart is mixed. You understand what the money means to him, but you also have to face reality. Eventually, you decide to lend him $300,000, even though you know that the money may never be recovered.
"Thank you!" he said gratefully, then knelt heavily on the ground and kowtowed to you.
You pick him up and pat him on the shoulder, "It's okay, buddy." I wish your father a speedy recovery. ”
However, as time goes on, you find that the money really doesn't seem to come back. My friend's monthly income is so small that he simply can't afford this huge debt. You begin to wonder if you've made the right decision, but at the same time, you learn that while money is important, friendship and humanity are more precious.
This experience made you deeply reflect on your outlook on life and values. You realize that the emotional bond between people is far more important than material gain. Since then, you have learned to keep a low profile and humility in the face of others, and no longer flaunt your accomplishments and wealth easily.
"We, when we meet certain people, we must say that we are bad and stupid. "You tell yourself that all the time. Because in this world, there are not many people who really want us to be good. When we meet those who are bleak, we talk about things that are just as bleak, and when we meet those who are full of light, we share stories of hopes and dreams.
People, you can't be too dead. Sometimes we need to learn to hide our edges and strengths so as not to cause unnecessary stress and distress to others. It is only when we truly understand and respect the feelings of others that we can build more genuine and deep relationships.
