A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

"To put it bluntly, you just need money." Liu Xiaoyu sighed.

Deng Weihong nodded and said, "In this era, nothing is better than having money. Even when it comes to becoming a disciple, most of the time as long as you have money, you can always find a true guide."

"Life is like this. If you are poor, just make more money. You can't always expect others to give you something." Shen Huayu didn't have much emotion after listening to Deng Weihong's explanation.

Shen Huayu understands better than anyone what one can do with money.

She worked her way up from a broker with white gloves, and her appearance was just a little help at the beginning.

Shen Huayu knew since childhood that money and power are the real things, and other things are not worth living.

The reason why I want to practice cultivation wholeheartedly now, besides using it as a way to escape, is also because I want to fulfill my childhood wish after gaining some financial freedom.

Shen Huayu's grandmother was a bit superstitious, and when she was a child, she would tell her stories to coax her to sleep. Some of them were stories that her grandmother had experienced in her time, and most of them were stories about gods in heaven.

Grandma said that it would be great to be a god. Gods live in heaven and don’t have to work every day because they have magical powers and can make anything they want happen.

My grandmother firmly believed that gods existed. Whenever she was farming or during festivals, she would take a bunch of incense and candles and go to the land temple at the entrance of the village or to a nearby temple to burn incense and pray, praying for good weather and for the safety and health of her family.

My grandmother also had high expectations. When she was sowing, she hoped that the Dragon King would send more rain in time, and when she was harvesting, she hoped that there would be more sunshine.

Sometimes Shen Huayu would joke, who says gods don’t have to work? I see gods are quite busy every day.

After hearing this, grandma hurriedly interrupted Shen Huayu's words, clasped her hands together and said, "Children speak without restraint, so don't be surprised."

When Shen Huayu was a child, her father went out to work, and her grandmother took her to burn incense and pray for the safety of the family. It didn’t matter whether she made money or not, the most important thing was to return safely.

If life had not been full of suffering, who would be willing to place hope in after death?

It’s like walking in endless darkness, with a beam of light in the distance. One has to live through one’s entire life before being able to walk into the light, even though that light is the real darkness.

This is not superstition, this is faith.

Shen Huayu understood very well what people think when they are extremely poor, and he also understood what most rich people think.

Those who can work their way up from the bottom have a clear understanding of their own situation.

It's natural that when you are poor, you are uncultured, unfriendly and selfish.

When you are poor, you should take care of yourself. This is not just what a selfish poor person said, but what Mencius, the second sage, said.

If a poor person is not selfish, does not struggle hard to protect himself, and does not talk about quality, civilization, and giving to others, can he survive?

The common people are not subject to etiquette, this is what Confucius, the great sage, said. The poor do not care about etiquette because they do not have the energy. They are already exhausted just trying to survive and maintain a basic life.

He has no energy to smile at others, to curry favor with others, or to be grateful to others. He has the intention to do good, but no reward is given for his good deeds. This is a couplet in the City God Temple. If you do good deeds to help others, you expect that person to be grateful and repay you. Or you even hope that the whole society will be grateful to you, commend you, and praise you. If you don't get the expected return, you will be angry and ashamed.

This is actually investing, not doing good deeds. Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is just treating virtue as a kind of intermediate currency that can be exchanged for real benefits. So investing requires an investment mentality.

Investments can bring gains and losses. If you can’t afford the losses, the investment community has a ready-made solution that can be used when doing charity in the future, which is a bet agreement.

When you help someone in the future, you sign a gambling agreement with him. The agreement states that after you help him, he must be grateful, kowtow to you, call you father, be your slave for generations, and repay you with his life.

If he fails to do so, he can withdraw his investment at any time and he will be required to pay compensation. Some hypocritical rich people may be angry when hearing these words. He may say bitterly: "Then I won't help people. Don't expect me to do good things in the future."

In fact, no one begs anyone to do good deeds. Doing good deeds and charity is a person's pursuit.

There is no need for such pursuit. Helping others is actually a person giving alms to others from a high position.

As for who to help and who not to help, is it based on absolute fairness? If it is based on absolute fairness, then under absolute fairness, there will be no other bad things.

It’s not that the people being helped don’t want to repay, most of them just can’t repay someone in the way they want. The two parties didn’t sign an investment agreement, so it stands to reason that how he repays is up to him.

Most people who do charity with a purpose cannot prove that the people they help never thought of repaying them. What they want to say is that the people they help did not repay them according to their ideas at the time and occasion they wanted.

In other words, the behavior of the people being helped did not make them happy. They never thought that the people being helped were equal to themselves. As equal objects, the people being helped could also be willful.

The person being helped can choose how to repay the helper, or not repay the helper at will, or even turn against the helper.

If you ask the people who have been helped to be grateful for their whole lives and become the friends of the helpers, that is not impossible. Just make it clear at the beginning. By the way, this kind of mentality was called "raising guests" in ancient times.

In fact, it really doesn't matter if you don't help others. The world will not collapse because of a person's lack of kindness. It is extremely foolish for poor people to pin their hopes and future on the kindness of rich people.

Good deeds are the drug that confuses class contradictions. The teacher criticized Wu Xun for this behavior of promoting good deeds in the name of promoting good deeds, but in fact it is a drug that confuses people.

One person accumulates a lot of wealth and enjoys a life far better than those around him, consuming the resources of hundreds and thousands of people and making thousands of people serve him.

This is because you work hard, you deserve it. Because you work hard, you can justifiably trample thousands of people under your feet. You don't need to repay society, you have no social responsibility. You don't need to have a good relationship with this society. Just stick to this creed. Society will not kneel down and beg you for charity.

When the teacher organized the Farmers' Association in Jiangxi, he never took the farmers to the landlords' houses to make a scene or kneel down to beg for donations. Easing social relations and reducing social conflicts have always been what the rich want to do, not what the poor want to do.

The world has been peaceful for a long time, and the rich feel that they deserve everything they have. They think the poor deserve their current fate because they don’t work hard.

In fact, this is not a bad thing. Don't try to fool each other. See the true face, peel off the painted skin, and reveal the true face. Adjust your mentality and be prepared.
