Why is it said that misfortune only seeks out the miserable?
There is a saying that goes like this: "Thunder strikes a true filial son, and wealth makes a cruel person. The hemp rope is picked and broken at the thinnest part, and bad luck only seeks out the poor. Life only bullies the poor, and Buddhism only helps the poor." Money man."
The more you want to be a filial son, the people around you will hate you and say you are pretentious. Therefore, the more you pay, the more thankless it becomes.
And if you become poor, no matter how well-intentioned you are, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name every day, you will eventually be invaded by "bad luck" and your life will become increasingly difficult.
Many people will say, isn’t it true that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil in this world? Why is there such a contradiction?
A very simple truth, if you have trouble even eating, who will think highly of you, and who will treat you as a normal person and treat you equally? Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil. Yes, this is our best hope. But what is the reality? It means that hell is empty and the devil is in the world. Those who are rich use money to cover up their sins. However, who dares to dissent from him?
In this world, kindness may be a beautiful quality. But it does not apply to this society. Because what this society values ??is your money and assets.
Youdao means "If you have money, words are true; if you don't have money, words are untrue."
If you are rich, every word you say will be regarded as a wise saying by others. However, if you don’t have money, then all the truth you say will be a bunch of nonsense in the eyes of others.
Perhaps, living in this world, being poor is a sin.
Misfortune only targets the poor, and misfortune only preys on the poor. The poorer you are, the more you will be oppressed by your living environment and outsiders. Why?
Because there is no money, everything will happen one after another.
For example, if a family has no money, it will eventually become a crumbling building. Under the push of outsiders, it will collapse immediately, and the people inside will flee in confusion, and the tree will fall over and scatter.
Some people will say, there are many brothers, sisters and relatives in our family, won’t they help us?
This kind of thinking is just wishful thinking after all. In this society where "profit" is the main focus, who would spend energy to help a "poor person"?
The right way is "If there is no benefit, don't start early." No one is willing to do anything without vested interests.
So, when a person is down, when a person's family is defeated, the first problem they face is bullying by others. There is a saying that "everyone pushes against the wall". This is the truth.
Moreover, if something goes wrong with some people in the family, or if money needs to be spent somewhere, can the family still be able to bear it?
The ancients once said: "When a house leaks, it rains all night; when a boat breaks, it rains." When a person becomes poor, this situation will involve other conflicts and problems. When all the contradictions and situations appear, then people are not far from despair.
Only those who have been poor can understand that disaster and misfortune are caused by "bullying the weak and fearing the strong".
