On TV, there are reports again on the issue of loans for second and third homes. Rich people are good and can buy second or third houses, but many ordinary people cannot even afford their first house.
It was also reported on TV that in many residential areas in Beijing, the occupancy rate is less than 30%. It’s not just Beijing. We have a villa group here with an occupancy rate of almost 0. Except for the lights in the guard room, the rest of the place is dark and scary.
Greed is human nature, the nature of everyone!
On the Internet, I often repost other people's articles. I see that many people have reposted articles in their spaces, but they are still reposting them. At the beginning, I was the same way. When I saw good content, good topics, and good pictures, I reposted them to my own space, thinking that one day I would have enough time, and then slowly savor them. However, we almost never read these reprinted articles. First, we always don’t have enough time. Besides, we also lose our calm and calm mood, and become eager for success in everything we do, eager for quick success, and mercenary. Therefore, those articles are basically in vain! But many people still can't help but repost and repost... They just feel that if they go to their own space, it belongs to them.
In fact, some things are yours not just because you own them. If you don’t study or use the reprinted article, what’s the difference between it being yours and not yours? thus. Later, when I see something good, I won’t repost it. In fact, we just want to get more, we only focus on possessions, but we forget to enjoy what we have!
I have a house, but I don’t go home all day long. I have a car, but I’m too lazy to go out. I always feel that I can drive straight to any place I want to go, so the places I once dreamed of going to have become less desirable.
There are no longings and no days of surprises, making people feel that life is still. The uneventful life makes many people become numb, confused and lifeless!
Modern people have increasingly rich material lives, but they lack an increasingly rich spiritual world.
My niece went abroad to the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai. It's only been two months and I can't stay any longer. When asked why, she said sadly:
“I really can’t bear to see Chinese people being embarrassed here every day!”
When Chinese people go there, they always ask questions all the way. They don't know how to respect the staff and don't know how to be polite. They just feel that they have to spend money and they have to toss. They always feel that they can be superior by spending money. They are not satisfied with this and not satisfied with that. They go back and forth and often don't tip people.
On the one hand, he is extremely stingy about food and accommodation, and on the other hand, he is extremely generous when it comes to shopping. They often need an apartment as a team, and there are often people sleeping on the floor. During the local shopping festival, except for the staff, almost all the people I saw were Chinese. Therefore, my niece often has the illusion that she is in China, not Dubai. Everyone there was crazy. They were spending a lot of money. They really looked like a nouveau riche!
That's all. More importantly, whenever something in the hotel is dropped or broken, someone always says loudly: Made in China! His words were full of disgust and disdain. As a Chinese, she felt ashamed and wanted to return to her country.
What can I say? On the one hand, the Chinese people are experiencing rapid economic development, but on the other hand, they are morally stagnant. As a result, the speed of self-cultivation cannot always keep up with the speed of economic development. But if you think about it carefully, every country has developed in this way. Even the beautiful Thames River was once polluted to the death of fish and shrimps. It is terrible to see!
The economic development of every country must be a process, and it must be done slowly. I believe that as our country and its citizens become economically developed step by step, their moral cultivation will also develop rapidly.
So I told my niece, you can’t worry about the country and the people, but you can always be yourself, right? Do your job well and make them look at the Chinese with admiration instead of scorning them!
Why do things made in China always break? Not only does this waste resources, but it also destroys your reputation.
Because we only covet quantity and ignore quality! Why do so many of us pursue foreign brand-name products? Because their products are durable, they are expensive when you buy them, but when you use them, you realize they are cheap and reassuring! What's more important is that buying such luxury goods not only gives you face, but also tastes great!
It is your inner world that illuminates the world around you. If we want to make others look at the Chinese with new eyes, we must really start with inner cultivation! Just like if you want to give warmth to others, you must first be warm yourself!
Confucius said that a gentleman has three precepts: "When you are young, when your blood is not stable, you should be careful about appearance; when you are strong, when your blood is strong, you should be careful about fighting; when you are old, when your blood is weak, you should be careful about gaining." However, I think that everyone should avoid this word "greed" at all times.
Greed and luck are the enemies of life at any time!
