RICH AND POOR

朋友们:我给大家共享一封写给国外朋友的信,是关于"富和穷"的话题.

Dear XXX,

 

Thank you for your nice reply. Yes, according to the different reference, you will have various concepts of rich and poor.

 

Comparing with starving people, I am rich. Comparing with the ancient people, I am better than a queen; Comparing with the handicap people, I am lucky enough----- So if i know how to make myself happy and satisfied, I will be the wise person and happy person.

 

There is a famous writer called "Lu Xun" who dig deeply inside of our soul. He wrote "A TRUE STORY OF AH Q".  The hero Ah Q is very ridiculous. He is very unsuccessful but he often told the others his ancestor is a VIP. When he was bullied by the others, he often abused others in his heart. He never thinks how to make progress. Ah Q is the implication of many people. Lu Xun is the number one contemporary writer in China, we all like his novels. When you read his works, you will be shocked by his pungency thinking and getting enlightment. You see I am another Ah Q to make myself happy. This is called "spirictual balance".
