In life, we can often see that some elderly people whose families are very wealthy, some of whom have children who are bosses, and some who have a high monthly pension, pick up bottles in the garbage cans in the community. For such a phenomenon, many people will praise this old lady is really "thrifty" and "can live", which is worth learning from!
Since entering the media era, live streaming has become an emerging profession. In addition to some ordinary people trying to bring goods, there are also many celebrities on the screen who are also involved in this industry. They rely on their popularity and fans to make a lot of money in the live broadcast market.
As for how to evaluate these two phenomena, before that, let's tell you a story of the ancients - "Gongyi Hugh pulls sunflower to weave".
"Gongyi Hugh pulls the sunflower to weave"
Gong Yixiu was a doctor of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and later became the minister of Lu. One day, when he came home from work for dinner, he found that the vegetables were delicious, so he plucked all the hollyhocks in his garden and threw them away. When he saw that his wife's own weaving was also very good, he burned down his own loom and drove her away.
Why is that? This is a public official who thinks that as a high-ranking official, he has a rich fortune, which is enough to go to the market to buy vegetables and cloth to subsidize the family. And his wife also grows vegetables and weaves cloth by herself, which is competing with the people for profit. If rich people do this, then those who grow vegetables and weave cloth for a living will not be able to sell for money, and their lives will not be able to continue.
A simple truth
In fact, whether it is the plucking of sunflowers to weave in public ceremonies, or the two social phenomena mentioned at the beginning of our article, we can define them in one word, that is, "competing with the people for profit". And such an approach is not right, it should not be advocated at all, and it is not worthy of praise!
The reason for this is actually not difficult to understand. The old lady from a wealthy family worked hard to pick up bottles and paper shells in the community, even if they were sold for hundreds of yuan a month. For her, these hundreds of dollars more, these hundreds of dollars less, will have no impact on her life. However, the bottles and paper shells she picked up may be a source of living expenses for a scavenger for a month. They have lost these hundreds of yuan a month, which may be a matter of whether they can eat enough.
The same is true for stars who bring goods in live broadcasts, as film and television stars, they are paid more for making a TV series or a movie than ordinary people have worked hard to earn in a lifetime. It can be said that most celebrities have already achieved financial freedom, and the money they earn will never be spent in their lifetime.
Now they are live streaming on the self-media platform, and every more product sold means that there is a store or merchant that will sell one less product. The demand of the whole market is certain, and the money earned by the celebrities selling more goods may be the money that a small shop owner on the side of the road who is still worried about the monthly rent can make.
Some people say: Isn't it a shame to earn money with your ability?
We often hear that they also make money by their ability, what can't they do, if you envy others, you can also go. In fact, even if this sentence is not wrong, it is a false proposition.
We should see that many people's so-called abilities sometimes rely on talent, some rely on family resources, and some rely on luck. If you have the same opportunity, you may be able to reach the level of the so-called successful person by changing to any random person. When a person has a high enough platform and resources, he should no longer compete with others whose circumstances are far inferior to his own.
Because whether it is a rich old lady picking up bottles or celebrities bringing goods live broadcast, it is essentially a very cruel and unkind way to compete with the people for profit, in other words, [for the rich and unkind]. Therefore, we should not advocate this kind of behavior, let alone cross the river, or even advertise it as an excellent example.
So if your home conditions are good, and the elderly in the family also go to pick up bottles, you should stop them. When the same thing is sold in the celebrity live broadcast room and the store at your doorstep, if the price is the same, you can choose the store at your doorstep to buy it.
