At the beginning of man, he was greedy. From ancient times to the present, people's pursuit of desire has never stopped. However, there are some things that can be coveted and some things that cannot be coveted.
People often say: "People are greedy for 3 things, and their lives are busy in vain", so what are these 3 things, why can't they be greedy?
1. Power. Power refers to the influence that a person or organization has that can influence the behavior and decisions of others, such as social status, self-esteem, etc.
Sometimes, people sacrifice their principles and dignity in order to gain power, even to cater to people or things they don't like or are immoral.
2. Money. Money is a universal currency that can be used to purchase goods and services.
Although money plays an important role in life, excessive pursuit of money will only lead people astray or the point of no return.
Sometimes, people lose their conscience at the expense of their families and friends in order to gain money.
3. Fame and fortune. Fame and fortune refers to fame and profit, which is one of the goals that people pursue.
Sometimes, in order to gain fame and fortune, people do not hesitate to sacrifice their principles and dignity, and even do some dehumanizing behaviors.
In this life, if you pursue the above 3 things excessively, you will make your life busy, and in the end you will just be busy in vain.
Because it will make you lose your emotional world and family life, and in the end you may have a lot of honor and status, but live a lonely and empty life.
We should learn to control our desires, not to pursue things outside of our bodies excessively, but to focus on our inner world and spiritual pursuits. Only then can we live a truly happy and meaningful life.
