When you easily earn someone else's monthly salary through a day's trading, that excitement is almost impossible to hide. You will start to fantasize about how to reward yourself and even can’t help but want to showcase that moment in your social circle.
You feel that you are getting closer to the image of your dreams—freedom, abundance, and being unrestrained. Wealth and freedom seem to be within reach.
One day, when you earn someone else's entire year's income through trading, everything changes. There is no ecstasy, no impulse, and not even excessive emotions.
You simply quietly close your computer, go home to cook a bowl of noodles, and eat slowly. Sitting by the window, watching the night fall, your heart is filled with an unprecedented calm. You suddenly understand: true strength is always quiet.
The world is as noisy as the tide, yet you are willing to move forward peacefully, alone, outside of the waves.
You no longer care about winning or losing, you no longer argue about right or wrong, and you can even gently view choices and voices you once found ridiculous.
Because you understand that all living beings are merely a speck of dust in the torrent of fate. So-called freedom is not earned through relentless effort, but is hidden within the boundaries of cognition.
The vast majority of people are trapped in invisible cages throughout their lives, tamed by rules, bound by logical frameworks, chasing after a 'success' that does not belong to them in the busyness of day after day.
True freedom is not about how much wealth you have accumulated, but about being able to cherish love and choose to live well even after you see the essence of the world.
Eventually, you will find that this indifference does not come from how much you have earned, but because you finally understand: the truth of the world always belongs to that very small number of people who dare to think independently and take risks.
