"The biggest achievement of my trip is to find that there are so many things in this world that I don't need." Socrates' words contrasted with the students' words. He was not tempted by new things and thought that many things were unnecessary. This is contentment, a compulsory course in growth.
Everything is not so much related to the things around it as it is to natural people. In real life, it is impossible for everyone to get along with the people around them all the time. Even our own good friends, sometimes we may have conflicts due to trivial matters. If we don't understand contentment, we are petty about our own gains and losses, which will make the contradictions between us deeper and deeper, leading to the adverse effects of a happy friendship from now on. On the contrary, if we can all take a step back and open up the sky, we will solve our contradictions and feel happy in our generosity.
If a person understands contentment, then he has self-confidence at a certain level. If a person does not understand contentment, then he has self-confidence. As the saying goes, "People are not sages, no one is perfect", and everyone's appearance and intelligence are all congenital to a great extent. However, with the development trend of society, plastic surgery seems to become a fashion. People pay more and more attention to their appearance and are willing to spend a lot of money on beauty. However, some people are getting more and more ugly because of plastic surgery failure, and some even die on the operating table because of plastic surgery. Is appearance more important than life? If we understand that contentment will not easily lead to this auspicious result. If we can be content to see our personal advantages and live a confident life, why will it lead to some painful results in news reports?
different people have different sufferings and different fortunes, which seems to be all in the end. Some people are likely to be lucky often, some people are likely to be unlucky all the time, some people's lives are likely to be smooth sailing, and some people's lives may be cold and lonely ... no matter what kind of fortune, we should calmly deal with it instead of complaining about life. If we can feel satisfied with the life we have, and don't pursue some perfect things without knowing control, then everyone will be more and more cheerful and live happily.
