The fisherman and the rich man have feelings 2020-08-16

When I was pushing Gao Xing for a walk after dinner, I remembered the story of the fisherman and the rich man. The prototype of the story is roughly like this:

The rich man met a fisherman fishing by chance on vacation and asked him " Do you think life is meaningful when you catch so many fish every day?”

The fisherman asked, “What is your dream?”

The rich man said, “Of course. I have worked hard since I was a child just to realize my dream, to have a house, a car, money, no risks, and no worries about food and clothing. For example, I come to you just to relax, fish, swim, watch the sunrise and sunset, and enjoy life."

The fisherman laughed and said: "I'm just fishing now, sir"

When I first heard this story, I thought it made so much sense. My whole life is just to pursue one thing. , why worry too much about chasing after each other in the world, enjoying the current life is the most important thing.

It is important to cherish the present, but are rich men fishing and fishermen fishing really the same thing? Rich people with free wealth fish just for fishing, and enjoy the process. Even if they don’t catch a fish, they are happy and relaxed, while fishermen fish for their livelihood, and the fish they catch is directly related to the quality of life of their family

Different backgrounds, different purposes, naturally different moods. Just like many of us now seem to have free time, most of the time we still need to think and work hard for our livelihood, so don’t be shy about talking about money, and look at wealth correctly. , it is undeniable that certain material conditions are the basis for the pursuit of spiritual freedom and enjoyment.
