Why can't you make money and be laughed at?

Because people nowadays fall for money. But life needs money, money is not everything, but money is absolutely impossible. You should pay when you should. If you live in society, you should follow the rules of society. Right? You don't have to complain about anything If you are highly conscious and look down on people around you, then you can choose your own life. So-called: I am humble, but I am virtuous. Nothing in the world can be higher than people's thoughts, right?
