I love tortoises very much not only because they have a very strong vitality but because by feeding them I come to know the deepest meaning of our life. You got to feel that it is kinda exaggerated, however it surely does. As the pace of our life has quickened fast and fast, it seemed that nobody would keep attention on their Life Quality. After all, survival has become the No.1 in people’s daily life while they were considering when, by their doing, they could live better in this world either for themselves or their families. Yet, how many people could clearly explain what exactly the happiness is? Even how many people could accurately figure out the little tiny difference between happiness and unhappiness with math? I think now I have to go back to that topic about money that could wonderfully provide people much enjoyment in life. It was not so much, in their opinion, that God could bless them healthy and safe, as that money could promise them passionate and enjoyable and then to keep their health and safety. ‘Don’t you think it is called gaining two advantages by a single move?’ someone ever asked me. Here, I dare that some people must be judging I am totally wrong, even they couldn’t accept it. Like years ago, I was sort of snookered by a tough question that a friend just mentioned unintentionally. She put forward to me that let me try to image how the life was gonna be thoroughly without any support like money. ‘Then let it go, just forget everything depressed and do your best to save you in your terrible trap, therefore, according to it, try to get money to aid you, but not too much, because the desire to this is totally infinite. The more you get, the more you want, isn’t it?’ answered me. Admittedly, material want holds the very important position in our life. But, that never means, personally, that money equals happiness. Here, I don’t envy those mammonists who have been controlled by what they were not supposed to do so, instead, I am so sorry for them. They are really poor people who have none but only money.
