Nowadays, most people have fallen into the misunderstanding that money is for consumption. They believe that only by having more material wealth can they reflect their own value and status, and gain more happiness and satisfaction. Therefore, they constantly pursue higher income, bigger houses, better cars, more luxury goods, and various other material desires.
They paid a huge price for this, sacrificing their health, neglecting their families, giving up their interests and hobbies, and even losing their personality and dignity. They fell into a vicious circle, the more they had, the less satisfied they were, and the less satisfied they were, the more they had. They became slaves to material desires, victims of capital, and losers in life.
In fact, this kind of lifestyle is very wrong and sad. Because money is not used to buy things, but to buy leisure. The most precious things in life are not material wealth, but time and freedom. Only with time and freedom can we truly enjoy life and truly realize ourselves. The highest level of enjoyment in life is not the satisfaction of material desires, but the intoxication of leisure. Only by immersing yourself in leisure can you feel the beauty of life and experience the peace of mind.
We must understand one thing: there is no upper limit to material desires, but human life is limited. If we spend all our time and energy pursuing material desires, we will miss many more meaningful and valuable things, and we will waste our precious lives. The masters who see through life all use efficient means of making money to earn enough money, and give priority to buying leisure time to enjoy themselves, rather than working hard all the time to satisfy endless material desires. They know how to balance their work and life, how to adjust their mentality and emotions, and how to enrich their connotation and taste. They will not be confused by material desires, nor will they be manipulated by capital. They live freely and happily.
In this materialistic, capital-dominated, competitive, and stressful society, we must understand one thing: money is used to buy leisure, not to buy things. We should use money to buy time and freedom, not time and freedom for money. We should use money to enjoy leisure and happiness, not leisure and happiness for money. We should use money to realize ourselves and our values, not ourselves and our values for money. Only in this way can we truly live the life we want. #BTC
