A Lifetime of Torment: It's Not Poverty That Torments Us, But Such Greed!
A person's ability to make money reflects their capabilities and their approach to life. The way a person spends money reveals their personality and wisdom. Having the ability to earn money demonstrates the correctness of one's choices, while the way one spends money will determine the ups and downs of their fate.
Having money brings blessings, and knowing how to use money to control one's life is wisdom, it's a fortunate life! Often, people can't distinguish between thrift and stinginess. Thrift is a virtue, while stinginess is a vice. Not wasting and not spending impulsively are thrifty; spending when needed and not spending when not needed is stinginess.
Money is just a piece of paper when it sits there. Money only has value when it's spent. Money only generates more money when it's spent. Spending money isn't about showing off or the pleasure of spending; it's about its importance and the fun of transforming it into more.
Money should be spent where it's needed; money should be spent when it's needed. Sowing good deeds brings good results, and blessings will naturally come. This will naturally change one's fate. Don't hoard money; don't not help when it's needed; money can be earned again, but a corrupted heart is difficult to repair!
In one lifetime, what torments us isn't poverty, but such desires. Dwelling on material pursuits breeds greed for wealth, while having a compassionate heart allows one to help others. People aren't proudest of what they have, but of showing their existence and superiority to others. This leads one astray and brings misfortune. Knowing how to spend money is the right path, and it will bring a better fate and blessings!
