There are many people who like to talk about the quality of life. They think that spending a lot of money and affording it means paying attention to the quality of life. As a result, more and more people are spending thousands of dollars when eating, spending thousands of dollars when buying clothes, and desperately spending money. When we asked him why this is the case, his answer was justified–” Pursue the quality of life! In order to pay attention to the quality of life! ”
Life? quality? What do these two things mean?
If money can satisfy many material conditions, it is called quality of life. Does it mean that all rich people have quality of life, while poor people do not?
If you say that you will have a quality of life when you are educated, is it true that all college students have a quality of life, and those who are not educated have no quality of life?
If only the city has the quality of life, is it true that the country people have no quality of life? Do all urbanites have a quality of life?
The answer is no, which shows that the quality of life is not the patent of a certain class, a certain region, or even a certain era. The ancients can also have a quality of life, and the poor, rural people, artisans, and farmers can all have a quality of life. Because the quality of life is a spirit of seeking good, it is to seek the best style and method under a limited condition, and this is the quality of life. Craftsmen make the table and chairs the most perfect and impeccable point, which is the quality of life; the farmers grow the rice in the rice fields into the best harvest, which is the quality of life; the poor know where to buy the best quality for the same five dollars The steamed bun is the quality of life; the housewife spends the cheapest money to buy the best tofu, which is the quality of life.
The whole society can abandon the bad things and seek the best possible, and this society will have the quality of life. Therefore, our biggest worry about the quality of life is not the poor taste of a small number of people, but that most people have lost their spirit of seeking good things. In a society that has lost the spirit of seeking good, people often mistakenly think that ostentation, extravagance, and waste are the quality of life, and gradually lose the reality of the quality of life. Furthermore, people lose their ability to judge the quality of life, so they have to chase famous brands and use famous perfumes, clothing, leather shoes, and even houses built by famous architects to affirm their own quality of life. This is the reason why famous brands are flooding in modern society.
Rich people use famous brands from head to toe, from houses to cars, from stereos to TVs, and there are so many famous brands that people forget their names. Apart from envy, most people feel humble and think that it is the quality of life, so they try their best to pursue the “quality of life” by all means, and even cause exhaustion and death with hatred.
The true quality of life is to return to oneself, clearly measure one’s abilities and conditions, and pursue the best things and life under these limited conditions. Furthermore, the quality of life is due to the long-term cultivation of the spirit of seeking goodness, and thus self-confidence and a rich mind. Outside, you have a sensitive intuition to find the best things in life; inside, you can live in the alleys and still create a pleasing and diverse spiritual space.
