How many people have fallen into the "robe trap"

No disaster is more than unsatisfactory,

The blame is greater than desire.

Author: Lodge Yebo

In France in the 18th century, a philosopher was Dennis Dudro.

One day, my friend sent him a beautiful robe, and Didro liked it very much.

But when he walked around in the study, he always felt that the furniture was either dilapidated or the style was wrong.

Therefore, in order to match the robe, he changed the old furniture at home.

After the furniture was renewed, he stared at the old mottled wall in the room.

He renovated the house from beginning to end and renovated again.

After the house was renovated, he thought he would show a satisfactory smile, but he did not expect that he felt that the house was too small and wanted to change the villa.

In this way, he not only spent all savings, but also owed a foreign debt.

It didn't take long for the creditor to start a debt to collect debts. His wife quarreled with him every day. He was burnt, and his life was completely messy.

This is the famous "pajamas trap":

When you have a beautiful pajamas, then you want brand -new furniture, and then eager to decorate high -end decoration ...

The more you want, the more you miss, the more you fall into the abyss of the bottom in the process of chasing the material.

Too much desire is the root of pain

Everyone will face a "robe trap". It may be a new dress, a meal, and what you want.

Once your greed is aroused, it can only be captured by it and let it go.

Mo Yan wrote a short story.

There was a poor man, carrying a gun in a swamp, hitting a wild duck.

At the beginning, he filled the gunpowder according to his usual amount and killed a wild duck with one shot.

Seeing that there were so many ducks and so little, he began to pour more gunpowder into the barrel.

Sure enough, the power of the shotgun increased a bit, and killed several wild ducks at a time.

In this way, he was excited, and after a shot, he filled more gunpowder inside.

As a result, because of too much medicine, he bombed the barrel and blasted himself.

In order to satisfy the growing greed, the poor man finally lost his life.

The Qing dynasty scholar Shen Juyi once said, "The joy of indulgence, the worry of the trouble."

The craftsmanship of foreign objects is human instinct, but blindly indulgence often brings pain to yourself.

I have seen a fable called "Fire Box".

A soldier got a fire box from the witch's hands.

With it, it can summon a god dog to help people realize any wishes.

But every time, the flame of the fire box will be dim.

At first, he asked the dog to steal the property of passers -by. After getting money, he immediately entered a luxury hotel and ate and drink every day.

After spending time, he continued to let the dog steal more things.

Later, he felt that the money was too slow, so he directly ordered the dog to rob the commercial bank and the money.

Relying on plundering, his property grew rapidly and his heart became more and more inflated.

In order to become the richest person in the world, one day, he ordered the dog to move the treasury.

After a while, his family was full of various treasures.

But at this moment, the fire box exhausted energy and completely extinguished.

The next day, the king sent someone to come to the door, grabbed him into the jail, and sentenced him to death.

Thinking of Haruki Inamori said, "The desire of no restraint is a life of life."

When the flooding greedy eroded the reason, the result was like the soldiers in the story, and they destroyed themselves.

Human desire is like a bulging balloon.

When you keep chasing more material enjoyment, this balloon will become larger and bigger, and eventually burst.

It is difficult to fill in it. If a person is driven by greed, it will eventually be swallowed out of the desire of out of control.

Only by controlling your desire can you control your life

I have seen the story of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates.

One day, several students encouraged him to go to the lively market.

They said with a mouthful: "There are more things in the bazaar, you go back to a full load!"

Socrates agreed with the students' suggestions and decided to take a look.

The next day, as soon as he entered the classroom, the students immediately surrounded and asked him to talk about the gains of the market.

Socrates looked at everyone and said slowly:

This time I did have a big gain, that is, I found that there were so many things I didn't need in this world.

Although the material world is complicated, there are few people who need to survive.

Only by knowing how to control can we clear the fog of desire and focus on their goals.

Li Shufu, the founder of Geely Automobile, is worth hundreds of millions of, but it is extremely "cut" in daily life.

In an interview with CCTV, Li Shufu took off his leather shoes on the spot and showed reporters.

He introduced that these shoes are produced in a small enterprise in Zhejiang, with a good price and low price, only 80 yuan, and he has been wearing it for two years.

The price of his shirt was 30 yuan, and a suit was 300 yuan.

Because we were very easy to wear. Once, he went to his subordinate companies to inspect and was blocked outside the door.

The security guard who stopped him said that the building "declined migrant workers in and out."

A reporter once said to him: You are so "shabby", not like a rich man at all.

Li Shufu smiled: "Life is simpler, you can not be disturbed and concentrate on your own career."

It is the control of material desire freely that he can fully push the development of the enterprise, and eventually make Geely as one of the leaders of private cars.

Zhuangzi said such a sentence: "Things are not things." People should control foreign objects and should not be slavered by foreign objects.

Only by self -restraint, abandoning unnecessary desire, and reducing excess needs can we get rid of the control of desire.

Leave time and energy to really important things, and also firmly control your life in your own hands.

People live to the extreme

Low material, high spirits

In 1983, the historian Ge Jianxiong published the theory of Population of the Western Han Dynasty, and the manuscript fee received 5,000 yuan.

At that time, he just graduated from Dr. and worked at the Institute of History of Fudan University with a monthly salary of 500 yuan.

This manuscript fee was a considerable income for him.

Although the economy became generous, his clothing, food, housing, and transportation were still as usual.

Someone advised him to add some brand -name clothing to him, and he refused, saying that "the brand is burden on the body."

For decades, he was drunk with academic research, ignored foreign objects, and eventually became a master of historical geography.

Think of Zhou Guoping said:

As long as a person is willing to restrain his desire and satisfies a relatively simple life, the territory of life will be wider.

The prosperity of material will only add burdens to life. What is really important for a person is to pursue spiritual growth.

Einstein is a world -famous scientist, but his life is very simple.

When he was in Germany, he lived in ordinary ladies. He usually had two old coats and changed back and forth.

In 1921, he was invited to teach at Leiden University in the Netherlands.

The school wants to give him high -standard treatment, but he is declined by him. The request he brings is:

There are milk, biscuits, fruits, a bed, a writing table and a chair, and a violin.

Later, in order to avoid the persecution of Faris, Einstein moved to the United States.

Princeton University intends to hire him at a maximum annual salary of $ 16,000 at that time, but he said:

"So many? Can you give it less, 3,000 US dollars is enough."

A friend asked him why he refused to pay a higher salary, Einstein replied:

"Excess property is the stumbling block of life; a simple life can create the driving force for me."

For him, money is all outside the body. Only the inner fullness and fullness are true wealth.

I like a word very much: "Liberty uses the hut as the living room, and the slaves live in marble and gold."

Instead of sinking in material desires, it is better to learn to break away from desire.

Let go of those thoughts that are unable to ask for, and stop chasing endlessly.

Only by doing more spirituality can you see the beauty and truth of life, and enjoy the richness and abundance of the soul.

In an interview, cartoonist Cai Zhizhong mentioned the rules of life that he pursued:

Live the simplest material life and do the richest spiritual thinking.

For more than forty years, he has only eaten one meal a day, and often steamed buns are tofu.

Everyday dress is a white shirt and casual pants, plus a pair of old but clean cloth shoes.

My friend said that he was too hard, but he didn't care. He read books every day and lived, lived, and enriched happiness.

Architectural Master Lu Dewi Valentro said a concept: less is more.

The same is true of life. The less demand, the simpler the matter, and the easier for life to be comfortable.

In the future, I hope you do something, want to make some systems, get rid of the "robe trap", return to the true, and live yourself.

Like a praise and encourage friends.
