The third sentence is full of gold and jade, and Mo Zhi can keep it.
Lao Tzu tells us that one should not show too much of one's wealth.

Within the system, some people like to show off their connections, meet certain powerful people, and build strong relationships with themselves. No matter how well-connected you are, you don't have much to do with others.

Also, if you show off your money all the time and let everyone know that you are strong, your relatives and friends will definitely ask you to borrow money, not to hurt your feelings, and if you borrow, you are worried that they will not be able to pay it back.

The fourth sentence, rich and arrogant, self-blame.
