One year, Zhuangzi went to the state of Chu and saw a skeleton in good condition, so he picked it up and used it as a pillow.
At night, Zhuangzi had a dream in which he heard the skeleton say, "You can speak well, but you are tired of living." After death, there is no such sorrow. ”
After a while, the skeleton continued: "When a man dies, he is not under the control of the monarch, he does not want courtiers to worship, and there is no spring, summer, autumn and winter, and he is very happy with heaven and earth for a long time." ”
Zhuangzi asked: "If you are asked to be a new person, let you go back to your home, are you willing?" ”
The skeleton said, "How can I give up this blissful world and go to the world to suffer?" ”
Suffering is not bitterness, happiness is not happiness, it is just a temporary obsession", who can prove that death is unhappy? What can be proved is that the living people are really unhappy - for the sake of money, tired all their lives; For love, I have suffered for a lifetime.
Your persistent life is the source of suffering.Only by looking down on birth, old age, sickness and death, not caring about age, and treating "every day of life" as happiness, it is right.
The writer Zang Kejia once said: "Some people are alive, but they are dead; Some people are dead, and he is still alive. ”

Whatever God gives, you accept it and take it as a blessing, so that suffering will not torment you, poverty will not be frightening, and apathy will leave warmth in your heart.

One day, the king went out hunting and was very surprised to see Avanti digging gold out of the ground.
Avanti said that this is "planting gold", and as long as one piece of gold is buried, it will become ten pieces in a few days.
The king gave Avanti ten pieces of gold and told him to plant it and see the effect. Avanti managed to borrow a hundred pieces of gold and sent them to the palace.

It's yours, don't fight, it's not yours, you can't fight. How much money you make is a fixed number, and it is related to your moral quality, ability and opportunities. Blindly embezzling other people's money, or being extremely stingy, no matter how much money you have, you are also "poor".
You must understand that true financial freedom is to give up the desire to buy, cover your money bag, and spend every penny where you need it. No matter how much money you have, you can realize your dream of having more than enough money every year.
The feelings are flat, and the gathering is calm.

Conclusion.
"The Secret Window" wrote: "Don't be shocked by the humiliation, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court; Go and stay unintentionally, looking at the clouds in the sky. ”In fact, you have already made your dreams come true, but you can't grasp the happiness of the moment, and you lose your dreams again.This is the life that everyone yearns for.
When people live to the extreme, they must be simple and simple - look down on life and death, live simply, let go of desires, and let go of feelings.
Doing a good job in the subtraction of life is a surprise that clears the clouds.
