Are there many poor people in this society now? I think this is a difficult question to answer because everyone has a different standard of "poor". Some people think that if they have food, drink and clothing, they are not poor, and some people think that they are not poor if they have a house, no loan and savings. The times are evolving, and the definition of "rich and poor" has been refreshed, but one phenomenon has remained the same: that is, people (or families) with relatively better economic conditions will have a greater sense of superiority.
➤ I recently saw a post in which the poster posted a screenshot of a second-hand platform with the text "I can't understand that it's all like this, don't throw it in the trash and hang it out for sale".
▽ What the poster believes should be classified as "garbage" is a certain brand of milk bottle.
According to the seller, this bottle was used 1 time, and it was accidentally burned next to the fire, but it did not affect the use.
This scalded bottle, which sells for only 5 yuan, has been viewed more than 2,000 times, and 51 people want it. I don't know if the seller is free shipping, if the shipping is free, there is a high probability that it will be upside down!
↑ The scalded place is quite obvious ↑
➤ Someone in the comment area has a similar opinion to the poster: Is it embarrassing to take out such a buried thing and sell it for money? The second-hand things I sell are very new, for fear that others will dislike them!
▲And the most critical point is: although the seller said that the bottle was only used once, but it was plastic, and who knows if it is safe if it is burned? If it really wants to be able to use normally as the seller said, why don't you keep it for your children?
➤ But some people feel that the poster is showing superiority. People who have no money and have a difficult life will choose to buy cheap second-hand goods. They don't care about the old or new things, or even whether they are safe or not, as long as they can be used + cheap enough!
A bad baby bottle for 5 yuan, 200 yuan for 20 pairs of old shoes, 22 yuan for 100 pieces of three no sanitary napkins... If the seller is willing to sell, the buyer is willing to buy, and outsiders are not qualified to sneer at the side with a condescending face.
➤ This world is not the same as seen on the Internet, with an average of 985 graduates per capita, an annual salary of millions of millions, and several foreign vacations a year... Where we can't see, there are still many people living in tattered lives that ordinary people can't imagine.
And everyone knows what the current environment is, ordinary people have to live their lives carefully, not to mention those who are lower than ordinary people.
↓ Do you still remember the blogger's mother who posted a video crying late at night recently? In order to buy a pair of sandals for the child (more than 100 yuan), go to the pursuit of cost-effective for several days in a row↓
➤ I think the main dilemma of life at the bottom is: because they are poor, they have a short knowledge; Because of their short knowledge, they are poorer.
Without a good educational background, they can only do some high-intensity physical work to support their lives;
live in the cheapest rental house, and if you get married and have children, you can only provide the cheapest supplies and toys for your children;
They don't socialize, and when they don't go to work and rest, their biggest hobby is to brush their mobile phones and indulge in all kinds of entertainment anchors and brainless short dramas. Because once they go out, the money for a cup of milk tea/coffee will cost them a few days of food...
Because they have not received a systematic education, they are unable to jump out of the narrow-minded bottom thinking, and end up spending their lives in poverty and self-pity.
▽ Some people may say, "How can I bear to live like this, but how I would have been doing it a long time ago!" But I think it's a great thing to be able to live hard despite the hardships of life.
There are a thousand ways to live for a thousand people, and how do you know that there is not enough sweetness in their lives?
And because material desires are lower and empathy is stronger, the kindness and good deeds at the bottom are often the purest.
Many of the "good human light" we sing about often burst out from them. For that alone, we cannot but respect them. We can't be conceited to use a certain label to define a group, let alone a person.
➤ A person's lifestyle may be affected by his environment, but the quality of his character has nothing to do with the "level".
To put it bluntly, most of us are ordinary people, and there is really no one who is more noble than whom!
