Shakespeare said: "Money can turn black into white, ugly into beautiful, coward into warrior..." This famous saying of the master is a wonderful satire on money worship. Zeng Guangxian said in the article : "There is truth when you have money, but truth without money is not true." It is also a lash against the sin of money.

Because money is extremely cheap, when your food and clothing are satisfied, money will make you deviate from your original intention. The biggest obstacle is that many people end up playing the game of life to accumulate money, or buy a lot of things they don’t actually need... There is nothing wrong with worshiping money, it just makes you spend your time in the wrong place.

In the moment of pursuing so-called beauty and so-called popularity, I was captured by the values ??carefully input by these creators. In fact, the world does not care about what you can consume, but what you can produce. When your value and status are reached, even if everyone knows that you are wearing a fake necklace, they will praise its beauty. What's more, because of your wearing it, the value of fake diamonds will be higher than real diamonds. , there are countless examples like this. On the long road of life, we must be wary of such traps, so that we never fall into such a life of putting the cart before the horse and wasting our precious time.
