As the saying goes, "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer a loss." When young people encounter problems, they must listen to the opinions and views of adults. The elderly have lived for most of their lives, read many people, and have their own experiences with many things. Speaking of destiny, the old saying "It's better to be poor than to be poor" is still circulated in some rural areas. This is also the motto that many people use to educate their future generations. The mere mention of this reminds me of the fortune teller or Teacher Shang on the street. It is said that these people can know a person's fate based on their appearance, and the principle seems to be unexplainable by science. What is very mysterious and interesting is that in modern society with advanced technology and widespread education, fortune tellers are still active on some streets. In the past few years, so-called "computer fortune telling", "scientific fortune telling", etc. have become popular. I wonder if you have any Tried.
For this kind of thing, it can be said that it varies from person to person. If you want to believe it, believe it. If you don’t want to believe it, don’t force yourself to convince him not to believe it. One thing, you must be careful not to be deceived by money. In other words, the "prize" of the ancestor's saying "It is better to be poor than to be poor" is not a person's appearance, but what it really means is a person's mental outlook and quality characteristics. The "poverty award" is a state of low energy, Internet addiction, and aggressiveness. On the contrary, if a person is diligent and motivated, not only able to endure hardship, but also able to study and think specifically, then that person's spirit will be good. Nature gives a very hopeful feeling of being "wounded". Therefore, as a human being, what is really important is not how much money or wealth one has, but whether one's spiritual world is full and whether it can bear the weight of life.
The reason why this saying from our ancestors has been passed down to this day is because the old man wanted to warn a generation of children. Being born into wealth is not the most important thing. We must admit that some people are born rich in the second and third generations. They are not worried about life. From the beginning, they stand at the end point that others cannot reach. To know whether something exists, at least we should know it first. What is this thing, and what is fate? According to teacher Nan Huigan, destiny can be all the laws that "calculate" your future. For example, fortune telling and horoscope reading can also be said to be a manifestation of "fate".
Teacher Nan Huaigen mentioned in "Farewell Lectures on the Book of Changes" that the great characters in this book are all "stars coming down from the sky." Why do stars come down to be human beings? This is based on the "fortune-telling system" of traditional culture. In traditional culture, fortune telling is called astrology. With the changes in astronomy, the so-called four pillars of Jiazi, Yiqiu, are the "functions" corresponding to a certain point in time of the stars in the sky. The stars are affecting the earth and human life. So this could be an expression of "destiny".
