Making money is the only sobering agent in the world of adults.
Money can cure deep-seated inferiority and reshape your understanding of the world, allowing you to see the truth of life through the filter of reality; money can also help you let go of trivial pretensions, tear off the disguise of needing to save face, and completely understand: the path of life ultimately relies on yourself to walk step by step.
Remember, apart from life and death, everything in the world is just a scratch. For us, escaping poverty is always more important than finding a partner, and personal strength is always more reliable than superficial connections.
