If we say that people's material desires are endless, it is determined by people's social survival attributes and instincts, even if they are legitimate labor income, they can't desperately get them. Because it exceeds personal or family needs, no matter how much wealth is outside the body. Therefore, there are so many philanthropists, thinkers who are prosperous together, and patriots who are selfless and dedicated. They rationally face the temptation of material interests, abandon narrow-minded egoism, and on the premise of ensuring their own quality of existence, they will no longer seek to accumulate more material and money indefinitely.
Not to mention the corrupt officials, they are ordinary people, with spacious houses, worry-free food and clothing, basic education guarantee for children, and basic pension guarantee for the elderly, that is enough! What's more, many of the more materials that are beyond the needs of life are not used in daily life.
When you are old, you will gradually realize that many of the beloved things you have built throughout your life, many of which are in your treasured items, and many stories in your life are also treasured. But in the eyes of your children, these valuable substances that you think have become worthless, and they are even regarded as a burden by the children, treated as waste cheaply by them, or thrown into the trash can. Because the times have changed, people always look forward, vomiting the old and accepting the new, abandoning the old and seeking the new is the inevitable trend of society's advancement.
I am old, learn to reduce the burden, clean up those useless things, abandon the things outside the body that are of no value and meaning, and be less nostalgic. It is a rational face and choice, in order to guard against regrets that cannot be experienced behind me.
