Contemporary China people's view of money.
With money, you can buy a house, but not a home; With money, you can buy clocks, but you can't buy time; With money, you can buy medical services, but you can't buy health; With money, you can buy status, but not dignity; With money, you can buy a bed, but not enough sleep; With money, you can buy books, but not knowledge; With money, you can buy blood, but not life; With money, you can buy sex, but not love. Money can't buy love, but it can destroy it! Money can't buy affection, but it can break it! Money can't buy friendship, but it can destroy it! Money can't buy life, but it can cure it! Bottom line: Money is a quantitative expression of the ability to control the material world. Money may be the greatest invention of mankind. Because money can measure the value of most concrete things, it has also made great contributions to human civilization, making mankind progress from a barter business mode to an open trading platform for stocks, real estate, finance and so on in modern society, all of which are attributed to money. Although money plays a great role in human beings, it also brings about a series of problems. In modern society, money can be said to be everywhere. It has already penetrated into all aspects of people's food, clothing, housing and transportation. If a person has no money, then he can't move in society; You can get material enjoyment if you have money. Because money has this function, it has a kind of crazy magic and is covered with a mysterious veil. Money is what many people yearn for. In some people's eyes, as long as they have money, they have everything. They think that money is everything, and there will be happiness with money. But is money really everything? Can money really make people happy? Not necessarily. Of course, with money, you can have a lot of things, you can build a materially richer family, and you can live a more comfortable material life. However, as long as we have high-grade goods, our life will never be perfect, because besides material enjoyment, spiritual pleasure is also essential and even more important for a happy life. During the revolutionary civil war in China, some revolutionary youths were willing to give up the affluent life in the city and go to Yan 'an to sleep on a heatable adobe sleeping platform and eat millet. In the early days of liberation, many scientists living abroad abandoned their houses and cars and went back to live in dormitories and ride bicycles. Their wages and material living standards have decreased, but they feel happier. It can be seen that even if a person is short of money, he lives for a noble ideal, then he is happy. Even if a person has a lot of money, if his spiritual world is empty, or his life is not free, then there will never be happiness, and sometimes even pain. Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions grew up in a prominent and extremely rich feudal bureaucratic family and lived a luxurious life. He is supposed to be happy, but it is not. He was imprisoned by feudal ethics and had no freedom, so he was unhappy. Nero, the ancient Roman emperor, is arguably the richest man in the world, but is he happy? His wealth and dignity only made him a beast, killing his mother, killing his teacher, and even ridiculous enough to burn down Rome. Finally, he abandoned his relatives and committed suicide. This shows that money and happiness cannot be equated. Through the magic of money, we unveil its mystery, and we will find that money is just a commodity. If we lose the ability to exchange goods, then paper money is just some waste paper, and metal coins are just a pile of scrap iron. People who have a correct attitude and a thorough understanding of money will not be moved by money. We should have a correct understanding of money. We can neither dismiss it as "blocking" Rainbow Yifu in the Jin Dynasty, nor want to touch it, nor be obsessed with it by hook or by crook. In a word, our attitude towards money should be "take it wisely and use it properly". Money can be exchanged for a certain degree of material or spiritual life! Money is a resource that can be consumed, used and exchanged! Many people think that money can't bring real happiness. However, we often see human disasters caused by lack of money. Husband and wife turn against each other, and father and son become enemies. For a long time, most people in China are ordinary people, and the disparity between the rich and the poor is not great, which makes people almost ignore the real position of money in life. People also have no ability to talk about and control it. People who don't talk about money are noble people. In recent years, many people have dug up gold first and become nouveau riche; Later, white-collar workers, petty bourgeoisie, middle class, Confucian businessmen and capitalists appeared. Money began its real role-playing in China. Who says money is not important and who says money can't bring happiness? We think money is very important; Money can give people happiness; Money, especially for thoughtful people, can bring real happiness! We also believe that money cannot buy everything, but it can destroy everything. You can't have everything if you have money, and you will lose everything if you don't handle it well. Therefore, people who can make money, control money and are indifferent to money are truly noble people. As many people say, money corrupts people. In fact, money is a catalyst, which makes the fallen more degenerate and the noble more noble. We need quality education as well as money education. Only by letting noble people master the right of money can money play a role. People get money by meeting various needs of society, and get various needs provided by society through money. Finally, there are three sentences: 1 Not enough; 2. Too much trouble; 3 just right, the most enjoyable.
