Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Hua, an ordinary office worker. My family background is not wealthy, but I have always believed that wealth is not the only factor that determines happiness.
The first rite: the bondage of matter
Once, my friend gave me an expensive watch as a birthday present. Although it is priceless, I find myself wearing it very rarely. Every time I put it on, I felt a heaviness and pressure, as if wealth had become a shackle on me.
The second type of etiquette: imposed expectations
Another time, I received a very expensive Christmas present. Even though the gift itself was valuable, I felt a heavy heart. I realized that this gift was not genuine, but out of the expectation that I would reciprocate.
The third gift: sincere emotion
One year on my birthday, my mom gave me a handmade greeting card. Even though it had no monetary value, I felt a lot of love. Those words and pictures show her heart and care, and make me feel warm and happy.
Real value
After these experiences, I realized that wealth does not lead to true happiness. What makes gifts valuable is not their price, but the emotion and sincerity behind them.
Whether we are rich or poor, we can all show love and value for others by giving time and care. It is these intangible gifts that are the most meaningful and precious.
