Do you value material life?
Thread Content
When I was in school, I never imagined that working would be so frustrating and difficult. Yet now, more than two years since graduation, I feel like I have nothing. Once, while on a train chatting with the passengers around me, one stranger who was a manager earning 500,000 per year talked about his life. I said I had nothing, and he said he only saw material wealth; then he asked me if I didn’t think my experiences were also a form of wealth Hearing him say that he hadn’t been able to buy a flight ticket and had no choice but to take the train, I couldn’t help but wonder: Am I really that money-obsessed? (⊙_⊙) Do you place a lot of importance on material life (⊙_⊙)?
The material foundation determines the spiritual aspects of life. As the old saying goes: One learns manners when living in mountainous areas; one understands what honor and shame are when having enough food and clothing. Only after meeting one’s material needs can one focus on pursuing spiritual civilization
Did you have to take the train because you couldn’t get a flight ticket? Am I imagining things?
When he was young, he really liked eating pecans, but he had no money; after all, pecans were a bit too expensive； Now I have money, but my teeth aren’t good; I can’t bite properly, and that’s also a kind of sorrow.
All I know is that train tickets are hard to get; I’ve never heard of difficulty in getting airplane tickets. At worst, I can just fly first class. After all, my annual salary is 500,000. Buy plane tickets at the airport right away to catch the flight. OP, don’t believe whatever nonsense others say. A hundred people playing Hamlet mean a hundred Hamlets. Otherwise, one will always end up disrupting their own mindset through constant back-and-forth indecision. A wealthy person won’t brag about their income in front of someone who is poor.
It’s enough to be able to eat well and stay warm; the important thing is to be in a good mood.

Reply to 3# yumiaodl1983: Haha, it’s not a recent thing. Several of them didn’t have flights available on that day, but they still had to arrive that very day.
Reply to 6# Litaol1314: I really like your words. As the saying goes, ‘Comparing oneself to others is frustrating,’ so it’s best to keep a calm mindset.
