It's not just men who will float when they have money.
Cao Dewang once said: "In fact, most people are not suitable for getting rich, because the backlash of money is very strong. If a person does not have high virtue and wisdom, it is difficult to bear it.
When the wealth of ordinary people reaches a certain level, they will ignore rules, etiquette, bottom line, personality, and morality. They will sell all these for money."
This sentence said by Cao Dewang. It applies to everyone, regardless of gender. People who have not experienced it may think it is chicken soup, but those who have experienced it personally know that this sentence is reality.
Controlling wealth is actually a kind of ability.
It tests a person's cultivation, knowledge, concentration, and character.
There is a buddy who was relocated around me. After getting the money, he first bought a Mercedes-Benz and drove it out for a circle when he had nothing to do, for fear that others would not see it.
A few months later, he started to go in and out of the chess and card room, and later quit his job to play cards.
Then he didn't go home all night, wandering around in the world of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, perfectly interpreting the saying "Men become bad when they have money."
I was still immersed in the emotion of envying him, and he had gone bankrupt at a lightning speed.
Some people say that the level of cognition determines the level of wealth. If the cognition is not enough, the wealth obtained by chance will gradually decrease to the level that matches one's cognition.
Once people are satisfied with their material life, they should pursue the satisfaction of the spiritual world, but people with insufficient cultivation have desires in their spiritual world. Therefore, once they have money, they will indulge in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
The biggest test for the rich is bankruptcy, while the biggest test for the poor is a fortune from heaven.
When he started his army in Shaanxi, Li Zicheng could not have imagined that he could ride a "roller coaster" in his lifetime.
From showing the flag to attacking Xi'an and proclaiming himself emperor, he used all his strength for 15 years, but it took him only 3 months to enter Beijing from Xi'an.
The more exciting thing is still to come. From entering Beijing to being driven out of Beijing by the Qing army, he only lived in this city that haunted him for 42 days.
During his time in the capital, he amassed a lot of wealth, and his wealth increased dramatically, but he indulged in wine and women, and let his soldiers rob, and he completely forgot his original slogan.
The dragon slayer eventually became a dragon. A year later, Li Zicheng fled to the mountainous area of Hubei and was attacked by villagers. He died at the age of 40.
Everyone has a dream of getting rich, and pursuing a better life is everyone's common goal.
But suddenly making a fortune, how many people can control the desire brought by money?
Money is a magic mirror. Human nature is profit-seeking, but it may not be wise enough to control it.
If virtue does not match the position, there will be disasters. Because human nature is complicated, but people who suddenly become rich are more complicated.
Once you have money, you will start to float. There is a critical value for people's wealth. If the wealth you have exceeds this critical value, you may be unlucky.
It's like an ordinary person giving him a Qinglong Yanyue Sword as a Five Tiger General. If he tries hard to lift it, he will definitely sprain his waist.
If a person wants to have money without disaster, he must constantly improve his self-cultivation. Only those who have insight into the laws of things can "not be surprised when it comes suddenly".
If your bowl is too shallow, you can't hold the sudden wealth, and you can't hold it. Instead, there is a danger of being bitten back. At this time, getting rich suddenly becomes a disaster.
In reality, there are too many such examples.
Some people won tens of millions of yuan by buying lottery tickets, some people got huge relocation compensation when their houses were demolished, and some people took advantage of the opportunity and flew up.
But the backlash of money is too great. A sudden windfall will expose a person's nature and arouse repressed desires.
Desires are not gender-specific. You can look at the examples around you. Do you feel superior to others when you suddenly have money? Big gold necklaces and expensive watches, everyone wants to get involved.
Things that you dared not buy before are now bought, things that you dared not say before are now said, and your humble attitude has become impetuous. You used to think about spending a penny, but now you don't even think about spending a handful of money.
This is a kind of emotional out-of-control, because you suddenly get unexpected wealth, which is higher than your expected life goals, so you are extremely happy and your mind loses its wit.
But it comes easily and goes quickly. There is nothing wrong with wealth itself. What is wrong is that when people face it, they will fall into a state of madness, which makes you lose your concentration, forget the bottom line, and lose morality.
Xin Xiaodai, the lucky charm of Alipay, won the 100 million yuan jackpot from Alipay four years ago. She immediately quit her job to travel around the world and spent three happy years there. But now she is in a predicament of being broke and jobless.
So, how did Xin Xiaodai play such a good hand so badly?
The Alipay grand prize is not 100 million in real money, but prizes provided by Alipay's global partners, most of which are given in the form of tickets and coupons, and have a certain period of time, which is very similar to some activities.
This posed a problem for Xin Xiaodai. If she wanted to redeem these prizes, she had to quit her job and travel. If she relied solely on holiday travel, many prizes would be invalidated.
Xin Xiaodai likes freedom and travel, so after a brief thought, she gave up her monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, resigned from the company, and prepared to redeem her prizes around the world.
In mid-November 2018, Xin Xiaodai arrived in Hong Kong, the first stop of the global prize redemption journey. Xin Xiaodai was happy at the beginning. She not only shared her travels on Weibo, but also interacted with fans through live broadcasts.
In order to redeem these gifts, Xin Xiaodai had to catch flights frequently and stay in one place for a short time, so it was difficult to ensure that the body had enough rest time, so her physical condition was very poor.
She often went in and out of the hospital. In Xin Xiaodai's own words, she went to the hospital more times in 2019 than in the previous 20 years.
Not only that, for example, transportation costs are not included in the prizes, and Xin Xiaodai needs to pay for it herself. Therefore, it didn't take long for Xin Xiaodai to use up all her savings and max out her credit card.
Indulging desires can only bring disaster in the end. Become a passing god of wealth and become a wealth carrier, not an owner.
If you want to inherit great wealth, you must first learn to nourish your heart. Because the more wealth a person has, the higher the risk he actually carries, and the more he needs to rely on self-cultivation to resolve it.
