At present, many people are ambitious, and their inner desires seem like an endless pit, difficult to fill, which precisely becomes a breeding ground for troubles. One needs to learn to be grateful and content, to restrain excessive greed, and to continuously eliminate those things that are not essential. After all, many things are found to be of little use only after they are obtained, and ultimately can only be discarded. Life can only be peaceful and smooth by being content.

As the classics of Chinese studies say: "Greed is like fire; if not restrained, it will burn the land; desire is like water; if not restrained, it will flood the heavens." The profound meaning here is that the greatest danger in life lies in insatiable greed, becoming deeply trapped in the mire of desire and unable to extricate oneself, always feeling that what one has is still lacking, difficult to satisfy; whereas the greatest virtue in life is understanding the principle that contentment brings happiness. One can find the true flavor of life in the midst of rampant material desires by steadfastly adhering to one's heart, often reflecting on what one has, not envying others' pursuits, and thus embracing peace and tranquility, allowing the soul to be free from disturbances and fully enjoying the joy of life.
