People in the world, from the moment they are born, begin a journey of no return. From being born, babbling and stumbling around, to growing up, getting married and having children, and getting old and frail, the grid of a person's life is marked on an Excel spreadsheet on an A4 paper, and there are only a few dozen lines. In this world, people need to eat, drink, have sex, and have basic necessities, and they always like to compare themselves with others to see if their food, drink, sex, and basic necessities are better than others. If you are better than others, you will be complacent and complacent; if you are worse than others, you will be complacent and complacent. Now, I am depressed and unhappy.
There are five major fears in life. People are most afraid of poverty, fear of ugliness, fear of old age, fear of illness, and fear of death. Therefore, businesses have designed many products based on these five fears of people to fill people's fears. Unfortunately, many of them are in vain. What do people need most in life in the world? Many people will answer, it is money. Yes, money is a good thing, as the Bible says: "Money can make everything go well." However, what people need most in life in the world is not necessarily what money can buy. There is a gap in the human heart that cannot be filled, and that is desire. The lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, the pride of life. The Bible 1 John 2:16: “For all the things in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, are not from the Father; Comes from the world. "
The lust of the eyes is greed, greed for beauty, greed for food, greed for money... greed for everything you see and want. The lust of the flesh is the desire to mate. Except for one's own spouse, it is sin. Pride in this life is the desire for success, money, fame and wealth. These three desires have an irresistible temptation on people. People get something, but are not satisfied yet, and want more; people have one thing, but are not satisfied yet, and want more. After a person succeeds once, he wants to continue to succeed step by step. The bigger the family business, the better, and the more assets, the better.
However, there is a balance law in life, which is not in people's own hands. What is this rule? The Bible recorded in Luke Chapter 12 Verses 15-21: "Jesus said to them all, "Be careful and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for a man's life does not consist in his wealth." He spoke to them in parables: There was a rich man who had a rich field. He also said, "This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build a bigger one, where I can store all my food and property." Then I say to my soul: Soul, you have many treasures stored up that can be used for many years. Just eat, drink and be happy in peace and ease. But God said to him, "You foolish man, your soul is required of you tonight; but whose will be the things you have prepared?" "The same is true for anyone who lays up wealth for himself but is not rich before God. What does it mean to be rich before God? God has ordained that everyone has his or her own mission in this world, but no matter how big or small our mission is, we each Everyone must be kind-hearted, love others as themselves, have mercy on the weak, and help the poor when they have enough.
God makes people "as long as they have food and clothing, they should be content." ” (1 Timothy 6:8), people will never realize how important this is when things are going well. Only when disaster comes, people can feel that this is the truth. If the disaster can pass, As long as life is still there, people are willing to exchange everything they have for life. However, life is priceless and cannot be bought by money.
The flood is coming and the tornado is coming. Heat waves are coming, mudslides are coming, typhoons are coming, epidemics are coming, super viruses are coming, super bacteria are coming, earthquakes are coming... This is what is happening in our world. Who can stand firm in this matter? Who can guarantee his next move? Only at the moment when they are about to lose their lives, people will realize that there is a sheltered home to avoid the wind and rain, a warm bed to keep out the cold, food to eat, and water to drink, all of which seem ordinary. Strange things are so precious.But whenever the disaster passes, people return to their former bustle and bustle. They will not learn from the disaster and will still live a life of intoxication and dreaming, regardless of life in search of excitement.
Zhao Qing was born in 1969, Chinese nationality, bachelor's degree. He is currently a supervisor of the listed company Ji Zhi Technology, General Manager of Ningbo Ningbo Modern Engineering Co., Ltd., Manager of Ningbo Yonggang Modern Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd., and Ningbo High-tech Zone Yonggang manager and other positions at Modern Entrepreneurship Services Co., Ltd. According to conservative estimates, Zhao Qing is worth more than 1 billion yuan. However, on June 22, 2021, the pile driver suddenly collapsed at a construction site in Yinzhou District, Ningbo City. A black car happened to be passing nearby and was hit, resulting in the death of 2 people in the car.
According to insiders, those who were hit and killed are suspected to be Zhao Qing, chairman of Ningbo Yonggang Modern Group, and his daughter who had just returned from studying in Canada. The pile driver weighs 90 tons. The probability of such an accident is not high, but it happened to happen to them. At the moment of the incident, there were several people riding electric bicycles and walking nearby. At the flash of lightning when the pile driver collapsed, they evacuated and escaped unhurt! However, the driver of the off-road vehicle and the people in the vehicle were unfortunately killed because they could not see the conditions outside the vehicle and above their heads. If I could have stepped on the accelerator hard at that time, I might have been able to avoid it. In this world of , there is no if. No matter how much wealth, how great achievements, how high fame, how knowledgeable and talented, when the moment of passing away, it has nothing to do with the deceased.
So what is the most important thing in life? The most important thing in life is to cherish life and maintain a contented heart. I would like to say something to those who commit suicide for a trivial matter. Life is already very fragile. Please don’t make it difficult for yourself anymore. As long as life exists, we must persist because hope is still there.
To cherish life is to control the three desires within a reasonable range, do not pursue them excessively, and stop in moderation. Stay healthy, don't stay up late, don't overeat, and try not to do dangerous things. To maintain a contented heart, even the pursuit of material things must be moderate. Although these two points are important, few people can do it. Therefore, our world is already riddled with holes. Human beings are constantly demanding, causing the earth's resources to be exhausted, temperatures to rise, and more extreme weather to occur more frequently.
Many people try every possible means in pursuit of profit. Many times, the methods they come up with are harmful to others. However, the bottomless pit of desire makes people do all kinds of bad things without a bottom line. Food insecurity and water and soil pollution are all the result of the continuous collapse of the ravine of human desire.
I really want this article to make more people see it, wake them up, and start from themselves. Let us start a life of low desires and maintain a healthy life and a contented mentality. Our environment can at least slowly repair. If human beings continue to persist in their obsession, we can imagine that sooner or later they will come to an end.
Move your fingers to wake everyone up!
