Money is really an indispensable part of our lives, almost everyone feels that they can be happy if they have money, think about it, we have to fight hard all day long for mortgages, car loans, and even children's education expenses, and relatives and friends around us often use money to measure a person's success, I recently saw a story, it really opened my eyes, a rich second generation worth tens of billions, actually chose to become a monk after losing 100 million, this thing is really embarrassing

This rich second generation has the life that all of us dream of, luxury cars and villas, brand-name clothing, and even a group of beautiful women around him, seeing him live "smooth sailing", but do you think this is his real life? In the eyes of others, he is like a prince living in heaven, everything around him is enviable, but the truth is that he is in this "paradise", but he feels like a cage, more and more empty, you see, who can say that he eats delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, tastes all the food, and finally eats upset? Living in such a luxurious environment can still feel boring and boring, and sometimes, that kind of spiritual emptiness is the most unbearable
Speaking of which, his life is even more unbearable, the most terrible thing is that he was infected with gambling, hearing this, my heart was tense for a while, gambling this road, it is so easy to get in, it is difficult to come out, the rich second generation felt that he could control it at the beginning, and he always thought in his heart "gamble, just turn the book", but unfortunately in the end he fell deeper and deeper, and finally lost 100 million, this 100 million, hearing this number, everyone may feel incredible, 1,800 pocket money is not willing to lose, let alone this 100 million, But as a result, his life changed forever

Thinking about his mood at that time, from the hopeful gamble, to the final collapse, the feeling of despair in his heart, like a shower coming, dark clouds overpowering, making people breathless, the moment he lost his wealth, he finally realized that in this world, money is not omnipotent, even if he has tens of billions of family assets, but for this extreme pain, he gambled a lifetime of happiness and endless regret for the sake of a momentary thrill, yes, money really can't buy real happiness
After he became a monk, he meditated and chanted scriptures every day, no one stared at his money anymore, the tranquility he never thought of began to infect him, living in the temple, and slowly understood what real happiness was, he finally understood that no matter how much wealth he had, if he had no peace in his heart, no matter how beautiful his life was, it was still an empty shell, and he began to appreciate the bits and pieces of life, the morning sun, the breeze, and even the crisp sound of the monk chanting, the satisfaction of life is no longer something that money can give

Many years ago, a friend of mine was like this, he worked hard to make money for his career, working overtime during the day and socializing at night, think about it, it was really a "work machine", but he made a lot of money, did he really get inner satisfaction? The answer is no, at a party in the company, he slowly realized that his friends were gone, the family relationship was tense, he was busy every day, but he was lonely and helpless, when he put down all his work and took his family out to travel, that kind of spiritual satisfaction allowed him to find the long-lost happiness, the color of life is not all in money, but more from the companionship and care of his family
Through this story, I suddenly realized that money with more money is not the only success, real success is to live your own wonderful, learn to cherish what you have, if you only think about money, then even if you are rich, the joy of life will be lost

Friends, from the story of this rich second generation, we can see that the meaning of life must not rely on money, on the contrary, it is time to re-examine our lives, take some time to manage interpersonal relationships, and spend time in the bits and pieces of love and friendship, not just material pursuits, the stage of life is so big, there are too many roles to play, it is better to experience with your heart, what kind of life is true happiness
I think the answer is in everyone's heart, money is a tool used to enjoy life, but it is not the real goal, I hope we can all find our own happiness, live the good life we want, and not be led by the nose by money
