Chapter 39 wealth and good

Some profit-making organizations or individuals are willing to spend some money to do some good deeds after obtaining considerable wealth.It is a good sign that this fashion is becoming more and more common. Those who accumulate wealth can lose money, no matter how much they lose, and no matter how hard their intentions are, they always tend to be cheerful in concept and consciousness, which is worth advocating.In fact, if a person has more wealth than he needs, and does not make meaningful use of the excess wealth, then the value of wealth has lost its utility.What's more, wealth is something outside of the body. If you are too greedy and keep wealth like your life, it will hurt your body and promote life.

Ming Confucian Lu Shujian said: Wealth is the wealth of the world, and the things in circulation are exclusively unknown, so when they gather, they are greedy and stingy; when they are scattered, they are also disasters.In ancient and modern times, thick collections are mostly scattered by misfortunes, rather than being tired of my body by the dispersion of misfortunes, which one is better to accumulate my virtue by the dispersion of goodness?These words of warning to the world can serve as a lesson for those who accumulate wealth, and they do not need to learn from the customs of Western society.

In addition, it is also the source of Datong thought to explain its meaning in terms of the wealth of the world.Everything in the world is a gift from God (in a broad sense), and should be shared by the world.Although it is possible to allow those who are able to get more, it is not for greed, and if greed is not used, its wealth is meaningless; if it is used improperly, its wealth is a crime.Gou loses morality because of greed for money, and disaster is bound to disperse. Take a look at the oil countries. With the oil source given by God, they used to ask for whatever they want in terms of price, and almost collected all the wealth in the world. If everyone in the world is poor and I am the only rich, how can I enjoy my own survival?Therefore, there is a ray of conscience inspired, so there are also acts of oil countries to lose money to help poor countries.As for those who have accumulated too much personal wealth, they should also think about it.

Chinese sages also said: Doing good without asking others to know is a sinful virtue.If there are not enough days to do good deeds, it is to accumulate virtue.Those who have wealth and power accumulate virtue and make it easy. Although it is easy and not doing it, it is self-violence;It is difficult for poor and lowly people to accumulate virtue, but if it is difficult and not to do it, it is self-abandonment;It is also said: When people are poor and humble, when they do good, the good is limited; when they do evil, the evil is also limited and powerless.When you are rich and honored, if you do good, the goodness is infinite; if you do evil, the evil is also infinite, and it has its own characteristics.Therefore, wealth and honor are the key to success or failure, misfortune and good fortune, and one must not be careless.

Wealth is good and everyone wants it.But if you accumulate too much money and don't use it well, you will lose your virtue, and if you lose your virtue, it will not benefit much.If what you are greedy for is unjust wealth, although you are rich but not rich, you will end up doing evil and falling, you should repeat the words of the sages three times, can you not be vigilant?
