After earning 1 million U and achieving financial freedom, what will you do?
When financially constrained, everyone is like a fleeting firework in this world; this pleasure house is vast, "with the heavens and earth as the net, no sparrow can escape."
There are some things I have no interest in doing, but I still have to do them because that is for a living.
There are some people I don’t wish to meet, but for the sake of making a living or buying rouge, I still have to meet them shyly; they are all benefactors.
And freedom is not about being able to do whatever you want, but being able to not do what you don’t want to do.
Once financial freedom is achieved, some things can be avoided, and some people can be left behind. I can redeem this over a hundred pounds of my own flesh.
The lower-level needs in Maslow's pyramid can no longer form a prison to confine me. I am wholeheartedly moving towards the higher levels of that pyramid.
First, I will take out enough money to settle all basic needs around me; my parents and friends will no longer be my burdens.
Then I will transform into a "free and useless soul," no longer considering practical skills, joyfully and passionately pursuing those things in the mundane world that have no "usefulness," do not bring economic benefits, but can make the soul tremble, such as the starry sky, poetry, religion, or aliens...
No longer needing to care about others saying I am not doing proper work; "not doing proper work" will become beautiful, turning into a praise and reward for life.
No longer considering economics, no longer thinking about utility, no longer calculating the ratio between input and return in a petty manner, no longer being bullied by worldly materialism, no longer being insulted by base desires. When the soul is liberated and the body is redeemed, no longer being pulled down by the gravity of the earth to crawl forward, but instead, walking joyfully towards my own azure sea and silver sand, encountering the true self. The barriers are suddenly opened, and the rivers and skies are vast!
