More than 2,600 years ago, Guan made clear the relationship between material wealth and spiritual etiquette. For thousands of years, herders and shepherds have never doubted this definition. However, in 2 1 century, this definition is difficult to explain some phenomena between material wealth and spiritual etiquette.
A certain gentleman, from the captain of the construction team to the manager of the construction company and then to the chairman and general manager of the group company, has realized the transformation from a farmer to a "white-collar" for more than 20 years, and the private wealth and company wealth have developed simultaneously, as early as 10 million. Isn't it a fake warehouse? Recently, my hometown and the originally contracted land were requisitioned and demolished. I specially took time out of my busy schedule to go back to my hometown and talk with his compatriots about the land requisition and demolition policy. This guy said to his brother: the compensation for young crops in the contracted land is yours, but we still have to "settle accounts with our brothers" for the land compensation and resettlement compensation in the contracted land and the old house. As a result, the brothers haggle over every ounce and almost turn against each other.
Another gentleman, with the support of his brother, has a successful career and owns a BMW. Qingming went back to his hometown to sweep the grave, and all the sacrificial items were prepared by his brother. The man went directly to the ancestral grave, and after sweeping the grave, he hurried back to the city, leaving his brother and others behind. Or the wife doesn't understand and says to her husband, why don't you send it to the boss? Guess what this guy said? He glared at his wife bitterly. See if it's weird! Is the broken road to their house broken or small? I'm so busy, how can I have time to send it? Anyway, their time is worthless, let them walk home!
However, there is also a kind of hoarder who can deceive people's eyes. Such a person has not completely lost his conscience after his own outburst. He can also arrange one or two jobs for his eldest brother and sister in his company and give them some leftovers when he enjoys a gluttonous meal, which has won a lot of praise. Sometimes they will help some poor college students, or donate some money, which makes people feel that he is a thrifty person. As for how he harms others and benefits himself, how to collect money through despicable and dirty means has become the so-called "defect does not cover Yu"; As for how he got in and out of the lights and how he got home outside his house, they all said, "He's an entrepreneur!" "In a word. Is it true that such people know etiquette after hoarding goods?
From this point of view, the granary is the material basis of courtesy, which does not mean that the granary will definitely be polite. Too much emphasis on the importance of material foundation, even ignoring etiquette, the values of money first and materialistic desire will inevitably become a universal value, which will be terrible. Only by taking warehouse as the basis of pursuing knowledge etiquette and the premise of improving the level of knowledge etiquette, rather than replacing the value standard of knowledge etiquette with warehouse, can we curb the one-on-one incident of being rich but heartless, at least stop making excuses for the rich and heartless, and let them know that money is not the whole of life, let alone the only value of life.
