In today's society, there is an increasing focus on personal development and success. In order to achieve their goals, some people will use all the resources around them by any means necessary, and see themselves and those around them as investment tools. This kind of behavior is undoubtedly a kind of social sinking.
Let's start with the personal aspect. When a person invests himself as a resource, he ignores his own worth and dignity. He may pursue material gain excessively and neglect inner growth and spiritual fulfillment. For example, some people will do anything to curry favor with their bosses in order to get a promotion and a salary increase, and even sell their personality and morality. Such people may gain some benefits in the short term, but in the long run, they lose themselves and become slaves to profits.
Let's look at relationships. When a person invests the people around him as a resource, he loses his true friendship and love. He will only focus on what the other person can bring to him, and no longer care about the other person's feelings and needs. For example, some people make friends just to take advantage of their relationships or resources instead of truly appreciating and respecting them. Such relationships are false and do not bring real emotional support and joy.
This act of treating everything as an investment in resources can also have a negative impact on society. If everyone thinks only of their own interests and ignores the interests of others and society as a whole, then society becomes cold, selfish, and unfair. Trust between people will be undermined, cooperation will become difficult, and social cohesion will be greatly reduced. Moreover, if this behavior is not effectively restrained and corrected, it may also lead to a series of social problems, such as corruption and moral decay.
In order to avoid the sinking of society, we should reflect on our own behavior and establish correct values. We need to realize that human beings are not only resources, but also dignified, emotional, and valuable individuals. We should respect the dignity and worth of ourselves and others, and not look at relationships from a utilitarian perspective. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the overall interests of society, not only pursue individual success and interests.
Only when we re-examine our behaviour and abandon the notion that everything is an investment in resources can we build a better and more harmonious society.
