Why are young people today generally troubled?

1. Desire: You have a lot of desires, but you are somewhat powerless. For example, follow the general trend of buying a car or a house, compare yourself to others and show off, get more salary, buy more things you want, spend more money to travel, go to more interesting places with your boyfriend and girlfriend, etc. These are all desires, big and small. The more desires you have, the more trouble you will have to satisfy them.

2. Money: Money is the most important factor in satisfying your desires. After all, money is a rare thing for everyone. The more the better, but not for Ma’s father. After all, Ma Dad said that the last thing he cares about is money.

In addition, money is a very troublesome thing for the poor. Being without money means that your survival is very troublesome. For the rich, it is also a worry to consider how to keep their income stable and not be wiped out by competition.

3. Freedom: For most people, money and freedom are incompatible. If you want to make money, you will lose part of your freedom. There is no way to avoid this. They all sacrifice freedom to earn money. There is a saying among the Round Table faction that the more money you make, the less freedom you have. Your society and your circle need you to maintain, and you need to spend time doing some things that are not very free.

4. Life is unsatisfactory: The ancients said that life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten. Look, there are already so many unsatisfactory things in life. Can you tell me how to stop worrying about it? Nowadays, I feel that my peers are worried and troubled, indeed, because the pace of life is fast and the competition is fierce. You want to say I don’t want to compete, I want Buddha nature, that’s impossible. If you don’t take the initiative to compete, competition will find you on its own, and you can’t escape it. Don't think about retiring to the mountains and forests to become a monk. A monk also needs academic qualifications. Before you retire to the mountains and forests, build a satisfactory building in the mountains and forests. Otherwise, you will have to worry about survival during your retreat.
