Chapter 218: Behind the Accumulation of Wealth
Brother Zhuang should have listened, he was thinking and reflecting on himself!
Mai'er wrapped her hands around her, hugged her brother Zhuang, leaned her head up, and said coquettishly: "Brother Zhuang! I was wrong! Don't be angry! Brother Zhuang! My sister will never dare again! It's all up to you! It's all up to you! Woooooo ”
Zhuangzi moved his body, trying to avoid being embraced by the seller. But! There's no way to dodge it. Mai'er hugged him so tightly that he couldn't break free.
"What are you crying about? You? Zhuangzi gently patted the seller on the back and blamed.
"Woooooo The seller responded with a coquettish cry.
"Alright, alright! I didn't scold you! Don't cry! Zhuangzi coaxed.
"You have a point, that's the truth. If I don't spend all my money, and I keep half of it, I can live a good life. You're right! If we can live a better life than others, why not live a better life than others? Right! Because I'm lucky, I'm better off than others. They are not having a good time because they are not lucky! ”
"Hmm!" Selling stopped crying and snorted in agreement.
"Sell your sister!" Zhuangzi changed his words and said, "But there is one thing you can't forget! ”
"Which point?" Mai'er raised her face, looked at Brother Zhuang's face, listened carefully, and looked well-behaved and sensible.
"We have to live like the people around us, you can't live a different life than others. The king is to live the life of a king, the officials are to live the life of officials, the hereditary nobility is to live the life of nobles, the rich are to live the life of the rich, and the poor are to live the life of the poor. In which circle you live, you have to live like the people in that circle, or not? You won't be able to live well, you're different, others will have an opinion of you, and they won't be able to accept you...... "Hey||." Words ||Grid can be viewed free of charge
"Hmm!" Selling snorted in response. Then he said, "So? I am the sister of the town official, and the town official's family has to live the life of the town official, and live like the officials of Qiyuan Town, which can't be too bad. What kind of life the officials of Qiyuan Town live, how do we live! ”
"The officials of Qiyuan all take bribes, and you also take bribes?"
"Hmm!"
"You're still humming?" Zhuangzi blamed.
"Brother, don't you also take bribes? You? Brother Zhuang, if you didn't take bribes, where did we get the silver and the coins of the Song Kingdom? ”
"You?" Zhuangzi was angry. But! He had nothing to say. After calming down, he had to explain: "The bribe I received was a bribe from a big evil family, not a poor family. ”
The seller hurriedly replied: "Those who are half sold and half given to me, some of them are people with bad intentions. So! I can't overstate it!
"Some of them saw that we had just moved here, and they had a lot of money to fund us, and they weren't all bad-hearted people."
"Isn't that all there is to it? Elder brother! As he spoke, he let go of his clasped hands and jumped up. But! She found that she was carried away, how did she let go of her hugging hands? She was so anxious that she hurriedly wrapped her hands around her again.
"Sell my sister! Alas! Zhuangzi sighed.
He instinctively avoided the encirclement of the seller, but he still couldn't refuse this woman's love for him.
He had no choice but to open his arms, hold Mai'er in his arms, and whispered, "Sister Mai'er! You know the truth! Not an example! Don't take advantage of others in the future, don't look for all kinds of reasons! This! We took advantage of the small advantage. But the cheapness of that ready-to-wear store must not be taken advantage of! It's too much! There's time for another day! Take me and give me the money......
Seeing that Brother Zhuang didn't avoid her, she opened his arms and hugged her, and he was so moved that tears flowed down. She threw herself into Brother Zhuang's arms and clinged herself tightly to Brother Zhuang's arms.
"Hmmm! Well! Well! Whatever Brother Zhuang said, she agreed one after another.
"But? Brother Zhuang! Those clothes, our family doesn't have enough silver? What if you pay according to the market price? Woooooo Brother Zhuang! We're poor again! Woooooo ”
"We are poor! Sell your sister! Brother is poor! ”
"Woooooooooooo No! My brother is not poor! My brother is rich! My brother scattered all the money! My brother is not poor. Woooooo ”
"My brother is poor, do you still want my brother?"
"Yes! Woooooo My brother is good to me! Only my brother is genuinely good to me! Woooooo ”
"Hmmm! All right! Zhuangzi hugged the seller in his arms and said, "Brother told you! Survival is the bottom line of being a human being! As long as you can survive, you have to thank the nature of heaven and earth! Thank you for the Word!
So! We don't go after things that are outside of our bodies, we don't go after vanity, power, possessions, etc.! Only by being alive is it real! When you die, no matter how much property you have, it is useless, power is nullified, and vanity you can't feel it! All of them, you're gone.
It is useless to accumulate too much property, and it will not be used much in your life, so what is the use of you accumulating so much property? Do you leave it to your children and grandchildren? But the children and grandchildren also have long hands and feet, and they also need to work to create. What if they don't work to create, and squander what you have left to them? What do they do, just wait for death? Because they have lost their ability to create, they will not live anymore, they are decaying.
That's what our ancestors thought, that's how generations have been! But? For generations, we have not enjoyed the property left by our ancestors, and we all have to work and create. If our generation has accumulated the wealth of our children and grandchildren, and all generations can enjoy it, then? If our ancestors had done it, we wouldn't need to work to create it now, wouldn't we?
So! It is useless to accumulate too much property, and future generations will still have to work and create it themselves.
My master once said: You can't be rich for three generations!
So! No matter how much property you accumulate for yourself and your descendants, it is useless and in vain! It's all a toss!
Accumulating wealth is also the root of social chaos!
The pursuit of power is also the root of social chaos!
The pursuit of honor and vanity is also the root of social chaos!
In fact! Accumulating property, pursuing power and honor, etc., are all for survival, in order to live a better life. Because! They are insecure and feel that they have accumulated property and can live well with power. The pursuit of vanity and honor is the same, it is to make life better. Outcome! They all thought wrong! If they do this, society will only be more chaotic and people will be more insecure! Make everyone feel insecure!
All of them have a common desire to survive and complete this life. All those who survived had a common desire to live better. This is a common idea among all health-minded people.
So! The gap between rich and poor is too great, some people live well, and for generations they live better than others without having to work, while those who work hard have difficulty even surviving. When this happens, is it strange that society is not chaotic?
So! Sell your sister! We don't want to live an alternative life, we must live a much better life than others. We have to live like the people around us, which is called following the local customs! That's it! We will not be excluded by the people around us, and we will not become different! Don't be a vulgar person, disturb this society and not admit that you are vulgar and that you are the culprit......"
