I have a cousin who is now in Foshan and has a net worth of about 10 million or 100 million. There are several companies and restaurant chains.

All in all, people who have achieved financial freedom.

It was this person who made me feel that I saw the state of being in the world in the Tao Te Ching.

When Mr. Li first left the job, we opened a small shop to make handmade candy. At that time, this cousin ordered dozens of boxes with me during the New Year's holidays. It's also a big customer.

It's just that I didn't do it anymore.

My mom started a shopping group for meat balls. My cousin also bought things in the group several times as gifts. Every time I buy it, it's a dozen or twenty pieces.

And in the family WeChat group, one day when everyone was wishing an uncle a birthday, the cousin also sent a message, aunt is doing business, everyone takes care of it.

I think it's still heartwarming.

From him, I saw the word Chunliang.

My mother said that my cousin is very easy-going in his life and work.

I think the word Chunliang is more appropriate.

He is not pretentious, nor does he play tricks and tricks. can make people feel that he has a heart, is simple, and has a good heart.

This is about a manifestation of the Yellow Emperor's internal classics, long and stunmin.

Such people will be popular everywhere.

I saw some of the pictures he posted in the group, and he went to the temple for a while almost every year.

Morning classes, scripture listening, and so on.

Of course, this is also something that can only be done as you want if you achieve financial freedom.

But it also illustrates one's beliefs.

In fact, what makes me feel even more is his willfulness.

Since you are an acquaintance, you happen to be doing a small business, and I just need a gift, so I will buy it from you. Where to buy is not to buy.

But for us, it doesn't mean the same.

It's really different.

It's a fair concern.

I feel like I'm the kind of person who crosses the mundane.

When I was in elementary school and junior high school, I was in that state, and it was very clear and transparent. I'm completely safe in my own world, I don't talk to my classmates, and I don't care who gets along with whom, and who is more liked by the teacher. I didn't know I had to care about that. It's not that I don't care, but I don't care about it at all. This should be the true purity.

For me, the class is a kind of enjoyment of the teacher's heart.

So don't worry about your grades, I'm doing well. People are also living in ease and peace. It's the class president, it's the student council. It's that the teachers like to be classmates with me.

The relationship with other classmates is not particularly good or bad. Didn't join any of the circles either. Probably this is the so-called gentleman's friendship is as light as water.

But when I went to high school, because I was boarding and I entered the city, I unfortunately learned something called inferiority.

When I got to work, I lost that state even more. Begin to blend in with the surrounding circle. The parents will be short, and there will be three aunts and four mothers-in-law.

So, there are contrasts, all kinds of burdens, joys and sorrows.

This is actually a kind of human sorrow.

I think my cousin's current state is somewhat similar to the state I used to be in. It's a natural state.

After learning the Tao Te Ching, I thought of these again, and I admired Lao Tzu even more.

The old gentleman not only has such a clear state himself, but also has studied this state thoroughly, and he also has the ambition to write down these secrets of humanity, hoping that everyone can learn from them, so that they can also have such a state.

It's really hard to learn.

I hope that in my lifetime, I will learn to return to the human nature that is as transparent as it is. Naturally. Never deliberately. Pure, free. Casual. Placid.
