There is no limit to greed, only when you are content can you always be happy

? When fishermen are fishing, they always want to catch big fish, but the number of big fish is limited, and the speed of growth and reproduction of fish is certain, so it is impossible to catch them every time. Big fish can be caught. Obviously, the fisherman in the cartoon has caught all the big fish and there are only small fish left in the pond, but the greedy fisherman still wants to catch the big fish.

? Everything has its own laws of growth, and humans cannot ask too much for anything from nature.

? The author believes that greed will never end, it will only become more and more greedy, and desires will become increasingly unsatisfied. Only those who are content can always be happy. A fisherman cannot always catch big fish, but after catching all the big fish in the pond, he can learn to be satisfied and stop fishing. After the fish have reproduced for a period of time, big fish will appear and he can catch big fish again.

? Greed will make people never know satisfaction, will make people only ask for it, and will make people trapped in it for a long time. There are many fish in fish ponds, but there are not many big fish. Things are rare and valuable. Everyone must want to catch big fish. This is human nature. But when a fisherman has caught all the big fish, he still wants to continue to catch them. Got greedy. Because he can usually catch big fish, but now he can't find big fish and can't satisfy his inner desires. It is greed that blinds his eyes. He only has the idea of ??catching big fish in his heart, but he has never reflected on whether he Already caught it. Just like a rancher who overgrazes and overbreeds livestock in order to obtain greater profits, in the face of profit, he ignores the laws of nature and the supply of pasture, and in the end he will suffer the consequences - the pasture cannot bear so many livestock. This life is exhausted and degraded.

? Contentment is always the right way, and knowing how to be satisfied is the right way. "Laozi" says, "No disaster is greater than not being satisfied, and no fault is greater than desire. Therefore, contentment is always enough." There is no greater disaster than not knowing how to be satisfied. People who know how to be satisfied are always satisfied. Heshen, a powerful official in the Qing Dynasty, held a high position, held great power, and even became a relative of the emperor. This was a better life than countless people at that time. However, his selfish desires continued to expand, he gathered people to amass money, and the things he was greedy for were worth as much as those of the Qing Dynasty at that time. The government's income for 15 years was so great that he was sentenced to death at the age of only 49. Everything is due to dissatisfaction. Another example is that a tramp and a rich man get a piece of bread at the same time. The tramp is very satisfied with the food to satisfy his hunger, but the rich man doesn't care. However, the tramp is much happier than the rich man because the bread has satisfied the tramp's desire and satisfaction. The feeling made him feel happy.

Thomas Fuller said: "Satisfaction does not consist in adding more fuel, but in reducing the flames; it does not consist in accumulating wealth, but in reducing desires." It is not that there are no fish in the fish pond, it is just that there are no big fish. Fish, if a fisherman is satisfied that he has caught many big fish, and thinks that he can catch big fish again after reducing fishing and waiting for the fish stocks to grow, he will not be obsessed with "not having big fish". Reduce your desires appropriately. You don’t have to catch big fish every day. The occasional big fish is more surprising and joyful.

? Greed has no end, only those who are content can always be happy. In this life, no matter how much you get, it is impossible for you to eat ten meals a day of delicacies while others eat three ordinary meals a day. Happiness is even more precious. Don’t be greedy, just enough is enough.
