69. The simple life is full of joy

Jingxing: What is the greatest happiness of a simpler?

Ruochen: I don’t understand why, I would like to hear the details.

Jingxing: I will never worry about money in my life.

Ruochen: Is it because I have too much money to use it?

Jingxing: Can you go to heaven more? The simplest ones don’t have much money, but happiness never stops.

Ruochen: Do you eat, drink, bet and gambling?

Jingxing: What is called simple? On the contrary, it is not smoking, not drinking, not gamble, not reach out, not reach out, not keeping a car or pet, not collecting calligraphy, paintings and antiques.

Ruochen: Seven words and simplify the whole story, so what's the point of living?

Jingxing: Can it be called happiness if you have no meaning? It’s so simple that you have a lot of joy in life, and you don’t know what worries are. Happiness is real and cannot be compared with virtuality.

Ruochen: That's it. No matter how powerful the virtual is, no matter how powerful the reality is, the screen is, no matter how great the earth is. Where does your happiness come from? Why are you happy and happy every day?

Jingxing: Reality is where reality lies, and the earth is the source of happiness. Raising flowers and plants, reading and writing posts, walking and nourishing the heart, running and fitness, traveling and enjoying the mountains and rivers, donating and helping.

Ruochen: Hobbies vary from person to person, and there is really a lot of happiness. If you have too much money, you can't spend it, and if you have enough money, you donate the surplus, which is also very good. Don't worry about money while living, and catch up with the life of a god. As Socrates said, the fewer requirements, the closer you are to God.

Jing Xing: Actually, I am very good at being a human being. Thanks to the party’s good policies, I never worry about money.

Ruochen: I don’t talk about money normally, but today I just talk about money.

Jingxing: When people walk in the world, how can they avoid it? It is not an exaggeration to talk occasionally, but to relax the muscles and activate the network.

Ruochen: Is it true that money can help the gods?

Jing Xing: The idea is true, how many mountains of gold and silver are still running away? The idea is true, why are corruption arrested? Why can’t God save it? The idea is true, how good is God blessed? How many people live forever?

Ruochen: In this way, it is better to be simpler to avoid suffering from the Scholars.

Jingxing: You are younger than me, and you have different hobbies. It’s better to slow down a little, and you don’t have to learn from me. Don’t reduce it too quickly, each has its own excitement.

Ruochen: Don’t seek the same thing, but seek the richness and colorfulness.

Jingxing: It’s so great. Please visit the back mountain and feel the fragrance of flowers and birds.
