The state calls for consumption, house purchases, and spending money, why do some people turn a deaf ear?
The state often calls us to spend, buy houses, spend money, why don't you listen?"This is a sobering question. At present, in the society we live in, **advertising and ** power remind us to actively consume, encourage us to buy a house, and urge us to spend money. However, why should we keep a cool head and not blindly follow these calls?Perhaps we should examine the deeper meaning behind these appeals.
Consume, buy, spend money - these words seem to have become the leitmotif of contemporary society. Swiping cards, buying cars, traveling, shopping for clothes, beauty, entertainment...We are exposed to a variety of forms of consumption, and it seems that consumption has become a habit. The reason why the state calls for consumption is not only to promote economic growth, but also to encourage people to stimulate domestic demand and increase employment opportunities. To some extent, the power of consumption can really promote the development of a country, but can we only seek happiness in consumption?
Consumption does not bring true happiness. The pleasure of shopping is fleeting, and buying again and again cannot fill the emptiness in my heart. A rich man once said:"I used to think that buying things would fill the emptiness in my life, but as I bought more things, I found that the emptiness only grew. The same goes for buying a house. While property can bring a level of security and stability, is it worth it if all you feel in the process is anxiety and stress?
Inadvertent spending puts a huge strain on personal finances. We are influenced by the idea of consumption from an early age. We are told that having more material comforts means success and happiness. As a result, we unconsciously fall into the trap of consumption while continuing to work and accumulate wealth. We ignore future planning and accumulation, and only see immediate consumption**. When we are in debt, we realize that the cost of consumption is much higher than we think. Endless stress and anxiety ensued.
Not everyone is attracted to these appeals, so why are they able to keep their sanity and not blindly follow them?This is because they realize real value. They realize that wealth and material things do not bring true happiness and fulfillment. They focus on inner growth and spiritual fulfillment. They are well aware of a sentence in "Six Tales of Floating Life":"Take it from it, get it from it;Take from the inside, get from the bottom"。True satisfaction comes from inner growth and the realization of values, not material comforts that are visible to the naked eye. In addition, they are more focused on financial planning and future investments. They realize that while spending, they must make appropriate investments to ensure financial security in the future. They may choose to invest in property, but they won't go into debt blindly. They focus on thinking rationally about their finances and future plans, rather than getting carried away by the wave of consumerism.
On the big stage of society, everyone plays a different role. We can have different attitudes towards the charisma of the state, but we must remain rational. We can choose to spend money at the right time, but we can't get carried away by the desire to chase material things. We can choose to buy a house, but only if we are rational and protect our own financial security. We can spend money to enjoy life, but we can't let consumption dominate life. We must always maintain our own subjective initiative, rational judgment and choice, and not be swayed by external voices.
In an over-consumed society, it is not a brave thing to be sane and calm. Perhaps, we should be like those who can think rationally, and know how to grasp our own desires and consumption behaviors. We should pursue true inner satisfaction and not be swayed by external material impulses. Perhaps, when we no longer blindly pursue consumption, purchase and splurge, we can truly find our own happiness and success.
