Don't try to argue with temptation, avoid it, stay away. It doesn't matter whether you are tempted or not; what matters is whether you shake your conscience for the sake of temptation. ——Montesquieu

If you have no desire, you will be strong

Confucius said: "I have never seen anyone who is strong." Or he said to him: "Shen He." Confucius said: "Shen also desires, how can I "Deceit?" This passage comes from "The Analects of Confucius", which means Confucius said: "I have never seen a resolute person." Someone said: "Shen Xi is such a person." Confucius said: "Shen Xi is greedy. How can it be possible?" What about fortitude?”

In an era where "nothing is impossible without money", facing the temptation of money, there are many people who go to jail because of their unsatisfied desires, including He Shen in ancient times and Li Zhen in recent times. This is just like what Confucius said: "How can you be strong when you are greedy for debts?" No matter how high your position is or how senior you are, once you fall into the insatiable desire, you will become a slave of money and material and fall into eternal disaster. In the abyss of the world, disgraced and ruined, what can be said about fortitude? Therefore, when faced with the temptation of desire, one should have a grateful heart. Being grateful always makes us appreciate everything we have. In the face of temptation, we should be more sober and less indulgent; in the face of gains and losses, we will weigh the trade-offs and not be greedy or worried about losses; in the face of achievements, we will not get carried away. Learn to be grateful, and we will always live and work in happiness. Likewise, if you have no desires, you can live in your own happiness.
