A netizen said:
"Life is not as terrible as you think, how much money you have, how much life you have, happy and healthy are the most important. ”
There are more rich people in this world, in the language of sketches, how old are you?
Some time ago, a distant sister fell out of love, and his brother gave 100,000 yuan just by transferring money in order to take care of his sister's emotions.
100,000, sometimes I also think about it, this is a dream that many people have really worked for a year, and they may not be able to realize it.
However, there will be such dreams in life.
When your mind is always focused on the outside, a life of suffering will naturally begin.
Unless you always blindly compare other people's shortcomings with your advantages, you may find a little self-comfort for a while, but later on, you will slowly get tired of it, so the distress will come uninvited.
Han Han said:
"Don't fall too far into the trap of consumerism. ”
In fact, in this era of glitter, I agree with such a sentence, or such a truth.
In this era of full desire, I have successfully lived a simple life.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with money today, and to a large extent, we really have a little bit of unjust money.
In fact, the so-called culprit, of course, is the people themselves, people use money to do bad things, and some people keep their inner desires expanding because of money.
In fact, deep down in everyone's heart, there is a devil hidden to a greater or lesser extent.
The ancients said:
"One thought of heaven, one thought of hell, one thought of becoming a Buddha, one thought of becoming a demon. ”
Gentlemen and villains are always thinking about it.
Everyone has a good me and a bad me in their hearts, and a rational me and an irrational me in a person's heart.
All the time, there is always a constant struggle and competition, the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high.
When you want to buy a luxury product that you don't need, there are often two kinds of interaction in your heart, buy or not, and just play with each other, who has the upper hand will naturally control your life.
People are often in an irrational state, but only when they experience suffering, especially great suffering, otherwise I will have a little bit of thoughtfulness or understanding.
Perhaps, based on our above analysis, you may really compare your own life pattern and truly feel that the biggest enemy in this life is precisely yourself.

In the past, there was often a certain preference and pursuit for various material wealth.
There used to be a period of time when I cared about the number of clothes I bought, and I wanted to have as many pieces of clothing as I could, and I often thought that every day of my life, when I went out, when I gave a speech, I would have such a completely different performance.
Later I learned that this is a kind of vanity desire.
In fact, I also know that a person should pay more attention to the construction and growth of the heart, and should care more about spreading positive energy and meaningful culture, not those empty heads.
I know that this is the kind of thing, this is the kind of bits and pieces, and gradually I have become a slave to the material, and life will naturally lack a lot of freedom.
So I decided to face myself squarely, make up my mind, and embark on the path of cultivation, material desires are endless, even if you have a wealth like Bill Gates, you will still have more material needs that are difficult to meet, and you will naturally suffer from life.
And life should not be like this, and happiness from suffering is the eternal theme worth chasing.

There was a time when it seemed to be like going crazy, and I had a soft spot for all kinds of purple clay pot utensils.
I like to collect all kinds of tea cups, even to a certain extent, out of control.
Every time my wife was helping me clean up the tea set, she would keep nagging, "Do you think there is still room for your cup?"
Slowly I realized that I was defeated by matter again and again.
Later, I was fortunate enough to come into contact with Buddhism, and I came up with such a word, which is called "appearance."
The so-called physiognomy means that people are often prone to deviate from the essence of things and become obsessed with the performance of things.
Just like no matter what kind of cup you use to drink tea, in fact, its essential function is to provide you with the convenience of drinking tea.
Or let's take another example, no matter what brand of car you drive, in fact, it is just a means of transportation, and improving the convenience and happiness index of your life is what you should pay attention to.
At a certain stage, learn to do the abandonment of life, and you will find that the happiness in life has more precipitation.

Anyone who has experienced family life often knows that when you are doing housework, if you have to deal with more things, you may have more nagging and complaining.
Just like when we live in a house, what we often desire most is to have a larger space, and when he can really feel more freedom alone, your happiness is real.
Over the years, I have also seen too many people being exhausted by material wealth, and even more, they don't know how to stop in time, and finally let themselves be imprisoned for the rest of their lives.
I have seen too many bankruptcies, and I have also seen the sister of a classmate next to me, who has worked hard to manage and save two properties, but they have also been wasted due to the economic crisis.
Some time ago, when I was chatting with a classmate, we were also chatting about the small things in life, and the classmate inadvertently sighed that I still have a loan of 1.5 million yuan, and I dare not stop every month with a mortgage.
No one's life has ever been smooth sailing, but everyone is also working hard to pursue happiness.
In such a life of socialist expansion, one must maintain sufficient rationality and reduce one's unnecessary material desires.
It is said that people are like drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge, life is destined to be without a little risk, but what is placed in front of a person is destined to be a person who does what he can, and your own life will have more safe and reliable appearance.
True happiness is never about the amount of material wealth in the outside world, and everything is better guaranteed in moderation.
When the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses.
People are destined to have no upward uphill road in this life, and when they reach a certain threshold, it is reasonable to walk downhill.
When a person does not experience the suffering at the bottom of his life, he often fails to understand the truth of "suffocating a penny to a hero".
On the contrary, in such an era of rampant materialism, reducing unnecessary material desires in the heart can better and fully understand life.
So slowly, I can accept my simplicity with peace of mind, I can do it without buying a single piece of clothing for a few years, I can wear a pair of shoes for several years, I can do it without a luxury brand mobile phone, and I can live a simple and simple life.
Even if it is his beloved purple clay pot, the progress of buying has stopped.
So I think that knowing how to stop is the only way to go in life.
In this era of full desire, I have successfully lived a simple life.
