Bi Shumin,a famous contemporary Chinese writer, internist, and psychological counselor. once said on the Hundred Lectures Platform:
"People with higher levels of cognition and better upbringing are often less suitable for living at the lower levels. This is because people at the lower levels have a stronger animalistic nature. Your respect and modesty might be seen as weakness, and you might even be attacked and bullied."
After careful reflection, one can't help but marvel at the fact that many profound truths have already been revealed by masters and experts long ago.
However, at that time, one's experience was limited and one had not yet witnessed the darkness and cruelty of society.
Now, when reading again, these truths still bring benefits.
Looking back now, all the people and events I have experienced over the past few years have been confirming these truths.
Of course, it's not that my understanding is extremely profound or my upbringing is particularly excellent. It's just that I can clearly sense the malice and unfriendliness of those people from the lower strata around me.
Those elderly ladies with children in the community can constantly stir up conflicts among others just because your family is richer than theirs and your son and daughter-in-law have better jobs than theirs.
Finally, it is discovered that no one truly wishes you to have a good life. Jealousy is an inherent human trait.
What we need to do is to protect ourselves and not disclose too much information about ourselves, our children and our family.
You just need to focus on making your own life as good as possible. Don't let your money go to waste and don't lend out your fortune.
In this overly aggressive and chaotic social environment, being low-key is always the best protection.
You don't need to show yourself to anyone; the most important thing is to feel happy within yourself.
More importantly, one should strive to move upwards and stay away from them, so as to bring oneself and the child to a higher level.
The higher the level, the better the people and things one comes into contact with. This is an undeniable truth.
Just keep working hard, and everything will be arranged by heaven.
