() The simple way of life Zhang Baotong

Life is a simple thing, but for a variety of reasons, we often make it very complicated. It's like 1+1=2 is very simple, but if we have to prove why 1+1 is equal to 2. That's a very complicated problem.

Our life is actually very simple, as long as we can eat three meals a day and sleep at night, we can almost be satisfied. However, some people have to pick fat and thin when eating, they have to be very particular about dressing, they have to take a brand-name car in a car, they have to live in a large villa, and they have to decorate their houses like palaces. People do this, in addition to pleasure, more to satisfy their vanity and make others feel envious of themselves. This is the main factor that complicates and troubles life. And a complicated and troublesome lifestyle can cost us a lot of time, money, and energy.

For example, when we go to work from home to work, it is very good to spend five dimes on the bus. However, people have to buy cars. It costs more than 100,000 or hundreds of thousands to buy a car, and it costs a lot of oil and money to drive around every day. Not only does it pollute the air, but it also makes the streets full of cars, and when it comes to commuting hours, there is a traffic jam, and sometimes you can't even find a place to park when you drive out. Because there are dedicated bus lanes in the city, it is really not as convenient and smooth as taking a bus to work. But people just like to drive.

Speaking of eating, people don't need much rationing and nutrition per meal. However, some people have to make eating very complicated, not only to cook a few meat and vegetables, but also to drink alcohol. Not to mention the cost of money, how much does it cost to spend time and energy alone? Is this good for the body? On the contrary, almost no person who eats and drinks well is in good health, either prone to obesity or bad stomach. But why do people like to do this?

Besides, buying clothes, shoes, and cosmetics, some women are really addicted, not only do they often go shopping in stores to buy, but they also have to shop online. There are some female teachers in our school, and she buys online almost every day. There are so many clothes, shoes and cosmetics that I don't have a place to put them at home, but I keep buying them. Sometimes, I wonder if they can wear up so many clothes, can they use up all the cosmetics they buy, in fact, it is enough to buy a few decent clothes and shoes a year, and buying too much can become trouble and disaster. Because there are so many clothes and shoes, it takes a lot of time just to clean them up.

The same is true for the house, there are only two or three people in an ordinary family, and if the children leave, only the old couple will be left. A two-bedroom house is big enough. However, many people are obsessed with buying a big house. If the family does have a lot of money, then there is nothing wrong with that. However, some people have a two-bedroom house, but they still have to borrow money or a loan to buy a three-bedroom and two-bedroom house, or even a very expensive duplex house. It will take two or three years to buy a house and renovate it, which will cause a lot of trouble and burden, and it will also take a lot of debt. An American once said that if a person has a million dollars, he should spend 40 percent of his money on housing and 60 percent on investment. Because you spend all your money on housing, then that money becomes dead money. Because it can only make you more comfortable in terms of living, but it will not bring you any benefits.

The reason why I say this is not to discourage people from pursuing a good life, but to allow everyone to live a simple and simple life. This kind of life is not based on spending money and spending as the main way, but more time and energy are spent on physical exercise and hobbies. For example, after work, you can spend more time on your favorite areas such as playing ball, singing, drawing, fishing, reading and studying. Instead of letting those unnecessary shopping, shopping, buying a house and car repair and other troubles bother you and annoy you.

Life is short, and people's happiness does not lie in how much money is spent, but in how much happiness there is. Buying a car, buying a house, buying clothes and food may make people happy for a while, but that happiness is not long-lasting. It's like if we live in a big house, it will make us happy for a few days or more than ten days, but that joy will soon fade away. Just like a raise in my salary makes me happy, after that, we take it for granted, but that's it. When we spend our time and energy playing ball, singing, drawing, fishing, reading, and studying, the joy and benefits will be endless.

We will envy Li Bai's life, he doesn't have much property and money, he just travels everywhere, sings and writes poems. We will also envy Tao Yuanming's leisurely life of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely looking at Nanshan". Liu Yuxi said in "The Burrow": "Si is the Burrow, but I am Dexin." There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding. "Actually, we can live this simple, easy, and poetic life, but it requires us to have enough courage and good wisdom. Fupin Chinese
