Around the age of 35 to 40, most ordinary people often feel the weight of life, as if they have been crucified, and are powerless to struggle. At the same time, people of the upper class may have understood the essence of life in their 20s, and they do not need to think too much about the cost of trial and error, because this wisdom is the product of passing down from generation to generation.
The biggest waste in life is not the squandering of money, but the waste of time and the slowness of cognition. Some people tossed and turned, and before they could sleep in the middle of the night, they saw that it was already dawn. With a hint of unhappiness, they had to go into the casino, not losing to anyone, but to themselves. To put it bluntly, many ordinary people in their 20s don't understand the importance of money and power, and they don't have the ability to acquire them.
Youth is a valuable resource in its own right, and men may soon find work, while women may have a large number of suitors. However, many people are squandering this youth. By the time they reach the age of 35, men lose their work priorities, women lose a large number of suitors, and their elders begin to have health problems, increasing the burden on the family. That's when they begin to wake up, realize the importance of money and power, and start focusing on how to acquire these abilities. However, because I realized it too late and was already far ahead of others, it was particularly difficult to catch up.
For example, when children at the bottom are exposed to the life of the upper class, their worldview is greatly shocked. The scene of a mother from an ordinary family seeing a delivery man playing in front of a public piano in a shopping mall, waiting for the next round of orders, made her feel heavy. She said that the children of the powerful families learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can become the rich second generation with temperament, while the children at the bottom learn these, which are likely to be just leeks in training institutions, and will only become workers, copywriters, artists or salesmen in the future.
The mother decided to stop her child's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting classes because she thought it was more important to learn some skills that would make money, survival skills. Children born in ordinary families may lag behind children in civil servants and merchant families in terms of social cognition, because their parents also came from the confusion. If children from ordinary families who can experience major setbacks in their teens or 20s may be able to wake up earlier and realize the cruelty of the world by chance, the sooner they recognize the reality, the better.
