Life is philosophy, and many people don’t understand the truth of letting things go when they should. Sometimes, life requires addition. There is nothing wrong with pursuing fame and fortune, pursuing knowledge, pursuing success, and pursuing wealth.

But sometimes we need to use subtraction, stay away from fame and fortune, be optimistic about success or failure, and settle for nothing? since. Lin Bu of the Song Dynasty said in "Saving Mind Record": "Those who are full of fat and sweet but do not know how to restrain themselves will lose their fortune; those who accumulate too much and are arrogant and rich but do not know how to stop will kill themselves."

People should be content, temperate, and know how to stop. In essence, it means that life requires subtraction, learning to choose, and being willing to give up.

Subtractive life enables people to understand the connotation of life more clearly and scientifically, reasonably arrange the choices of advancement and retreat in life, do something and not do something, so that life will not go to extremes, thus making life more full. Vitality, healthier and more beneficial to society, thus making people more meaningful.

There are many examples of how practicing subtraction in life can avoid disasters in life.

Fan Li and Wen Zhong helped King Gou Jian of Yue to restore his country and avenge the destruction of Wu. Fan Li retired and went to do business. He once advised Wen Zhong to leave, but Wen Zhong was still obsessed with fame, refused to listen to Fan Li's words, and was unwilling to give up. In the end, he was killed by Gou Jian. In ancient times, the officialdom was dark, and everyone was in danger. After success, he retired, just to seek self-protection, and it was not enough to teach him. But the saying "Don't be greedy is a treasure" is a wise saying. Not being greedy includes not being greedy for power, not being greedy for money, not being greedy for sex, etc. Looking at some corrupt officials today who are on the dangerous shoal of life, most of them are greedy for power, money, and sex. Their agencies are too clever in their calculations, and they end up ruining their lives.

Life is philosophy, but many people cannot understand its truth. Everything has a degree and quantity. Excessive pursuit of things that should not belong to you will often be counterproductive and cause you to lose what you originally own. Get what you deserve, let go when you need to, and relax is a great wisdom in life.
