People need money to live, but they can't live just for money. Money is the condition of life, but it is not the only thing in life. There are many things more important than money in human society.
I once read an article called "Chasing money makes people go to jail" (a money-chasing ghost-Amin's regret): Amin really wants to buy social status with money. He thought that money makes the mare go, so he quit his job as a public security officer to sell clothes. His business is very good, and he is getting rich. He thinks his "value" is increasing day by day like money, and he worships money even more. Apart from money, he is arrogant. The endless desire for money has become a catalyst for his accelerated decline. In order to get more money, he gradually embarked on the criminal road of fraud. He cheated his elders in his hometown by 654.38+0.47 million, and cheated a unit in the south by 654.38+0.3 million, leading a life of spending money like water. He wants to get ahead and get rich, but his hands are tightly handcuffed by a pair of cold handcuffs. Finally sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment 15 years. His wife left him, and the golden moment of his life will be spent in prison. He lost his family, relatives and freedom.
Amin is a typical example of the wrong view of money. Although he has a lot of money, he also had a short period of joy and enjoyment, but it was only a flash in the pan. His blind and illegal pursuit of money not only ruined his future, but also brought pain to many people and ruined the happiness of many innocent people! Is it worth it? Is money really that important?
Don't! Money can buy a bed, but it can't buy sleep; Money can buy tonic, but it can't buy health; Money can buy food, but it can't buy appetite; Money can buy books, but not knowledge; Money can buy clocks, but not time. The pursuit of life is colorful, and the satisfaction of material life is of course important, but lofty ideals, career success, family happiness, knowledge and health are the pursuit of life. Although many of them are related to money, money can't be bought, and money is not a value.
Money, life does not bring, death does not bring, life is too short, and the immediate fame and wealth will disappear one day. Only by making good use of opportunities, making good use of time, making selfless contributions to society, the country and the world, making inventions, creating wealth (spiritual wealth and material wealth) for mankind and bringing happiness to others, can we turn short into eternity.
Paul Cochakin once said: "The most precious thing for human beings is life. Life belongs to human beings only once, and human life should be spent like this;" When he looks back on the past, he will not regret wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of doing nothing. "Money is not the whole of life. Create a meaningful life, draw a rainbow for life, create a meaningful life in a limited life, constantly improve yourself, create brilliant achievements, benefit future generations, and let "life" continue.
In human society, there are many things more important than money, such as noble personality, sincere friendship, parental affection and so on. These are all money "out of reach". Even if your family is rich and there are no relatives and friends to share, what if there is more money? Although you seem to have a lot of things (bought with money), can money heal you and cheer you up when you are sick or frustrated? What's it like to enjoy food alone? A person's life should have material life and spiritual life. Material life is our living state, and spiritual life is the road sign that dominates life, which is more important than material life. In other words: having a sincere, kind, aboveboard heart and noble sentiment is more important than money.
There is a passage in Xin Ying's Revelation of Epiphyllum: "Epiphyllum condenses its life in just two hours and blooms brilliantly in the world. I think the moment it blooms, it has become an inseparable part of eternity. So I suddenly realized that people's lives don't care about the length of years, but about whether people's lives reveal the fragrance of life and the brilliance of human nature in a short time, shining through the ages, coexisting with the universe and competing with the sun and the moon. My view of money is that happiness is not an unattainable flower built on the cliff of money. Money is small, meaningful life is great, and it is a peak worthy of our admiration and climbing. Only by taking noble character as the road sign can we climb the meaningful peak of life.
