new life attitude

I have nothing to do on weekend mornings, a cloud of smoke, a pot of Pu'er tea, a notebook, a movie, and squatting in the office. This is an attitude to life.

The movie has been watched for an hour, sending the little boy to the plane, on the way to the family and friends gathering, the boys chatting about novel writing, the girls learning cooking skills with each other, the children playing football, having dinner, and on the way to the hotel.

Too many topics to talk about, children's education, sex, soulmates, writing ideas, funerals...

It gives me the impression that Europeans and Americans have a more exciting life than Chinese people. Because they have the best social security, they do not spend their time on work to make a living like the Chinese do. They combine work and interests well, and then Participate in activities and live a quality life.

At the same time, they are more open than the Chinese. The Chinese are too repressed, including the seven deadly sins of sex, selfishness, greed, jealousy, and pride. They can talk about it, and even regard it as a kind of holiness. The key is to know everything, and this feeling should be extremely enjoyable, which is also the charm of communication.

They are more free and easy than the Chinese. They do not want to relocate. They seek to be free and satisfy their own curiosity. The Chinese may grow old in a third-tier city all their lives, but they may be Chicago today, Greece tomorrow, France the day after. This kind of experience It may be great, but I still feel like I can't get over it. Generally speaking, I am a little more trendy than the friends around me. I still feel that if it is new all day long, it will break my sense of security. Which one should I be more inclined to? Living in a villa in the city, having three children, having a happy family, and having a good social status makes me feel comfortable. If I were to imagine that I met new friends in Shenzhen this month, and went to Tibet to worship with my family next month, it might be exciting, but there are always various concerns, such as whether this is a success in the eyes of others, and whether I will be too tired. It's too messy, maybe everything depends on the way later.

The subversion to me, at this stage, may be that I have been seeking the best work to achieve financial freedom, but I don’t know that the richness of life may achieve the purpose of financial freedom. After all, there are many aspects to survival.
