Throughout our lives, we go through periods of poverty and periods of affluence. When we are poor, we understand a person's humanity better, and when we are rich, we understand a person's heart better. This quote talks about all aspects of life and also reveals the good and evil, true and false of human nature.
When people are poor, they tend to face a lot of stress and difficulties in their lives. This is when a person's true personality and behavior tend to become apparent. The ancients said: "A friend in trouble is a true friend."
When people are poor, they become anxious, panicked, have low self-esteem, and may even behave immorally in order to survive. At this time, a person's character and morality are particularly important.
A moral person can stick to his principles and not do anything that harms the interests of others even if he is poor, while a person with bad morals, even if he is poor, can stick to his principles and not do anything that harms others. Here you go. Therefore, when a person becomes poor, his humanity becomes visible, both good and bad.
If a person is wealthy, he tends to have more resources and opportunities. At this time, you can see whether a person's heart is humble, kind, and honest, and whether he really cares about and helps others.
When people become wealthy, they tend to become proud, arrogant, selfish, and even immoral in order to maintain their status and interests. At this time, it is particularly important whether a person has a kind heart and whether he really cares about others.
A kind-hearted person, even if he becomes wealthy, will remain humble and upright, considerate of others, and be helpful; And a person with a bad heart may do things that hurt others for his own benefit. So, when we become rich, we know whether a person's heart is true or false.
Whether you are poor or rich, they are all different stages of life. In both phases, you can see a person's humanity and heart through their words and deeds.
Confucius said, "When you are poor, you are not flattering, and when you are rich, you are not arrogant." "Don't flatter when you're poor, don't be arrogant when you're rich. This is an important criterion for measuring a person's qualities. Even in times of poverty, we must learn to maintain our dignity and not give up our principles because of the pressures of life. As we become wealthy, we also learn to empathize, understand, support, and encourage those who are going through hardship.
Even if you are poor, you can be kind to yourself. If you are rich, you can help the world. "You can only be kind and moral when you are poor, you can be kind only when you are poor, and only when you are rich can you be considerate. People who can help others are truly beautiful people. Can we say we have a heart?
We must always remain calm and discipline our actions according to our own principles and morals. Whether we are rich or poor, we must be kind, just, and loving.
