Later, humans domesticated wheat and other grain crops, and some people say that wheat domesticated humans. Because after farming, humans settled down and stopped wandering around. People live wherever wheat is. In any case, people's eating problem has obtained a relatively stable and reliable solution.

After eating, they start to create, start looking for higher-level material enjoyment, and start to have private property. The gap between people begins to emerge. Because some people are more diligent, smart, or lucky, and possess better resources, they will get more property than others. And they rely on these properties to obtain more non-labor income. Others may be at a disadvantage from the beginning. They not only have to rely on their own physical labor to earn income, but also have to rent some resources from others to pay for expenses. If these expenses exceed reasonable scope, they will become exploited. At this point, differentiation emerged and material classes began to form.
The exploiting class slowly began to break away from labor. Some people are arrogant and extravagant, and they are lingering and waiting to die, while others begin to think about things and explore the essence and laws of life and the world. Therefore, the Western civilization of ancient Greece and the Chinese School of Medicine are in charge. The arrival of the Axial Age allows Chinese and Western cultures to achieve explosive progress at the same time, and human beings have escaped the eternal night in their thoughts. At the same time, spiritual classes have also been formed.

Since it is a class, there is a distinction between ups and downs. The ones below want to climb up, while the ones above want to stabilize their position and do not fall off. This is their great pursuit during this period. And there are also some better and worse in the same class, and making yourself slightly better is their small pursuit. Therefore, everything is comparable, including power, money, wife and children, as well as intelligence and depth of thought.
Then, the pursuit of life is about to emerge, that is, to be better than others, whether it is material or spiritual.
Time has come to modern times. The development of science and technology has greatly enriched people's material life, and human knowledge has long broken through the visible limitations. It is said that if the kings of the medieval era want to achieve the quality of life of ordinary people and today, they need more than 400 servants. I don’t know if I remember it, nor do I know how this conversion was obtained. But modern life was far from comparable to even emperors before, so there should be no problem saying so.
But no matter how technology develops or how civilization progresses, human nature has never changed and will not change in the future. Better than the people around you has always been the unremitting pursuit of people. Endless comparisons allow people to work harder and make people think harder. Although " inner volume " is a new word, in fact, humans have been scrolling for thousands of years, and this large volume of thousands of years will continue to roll.
