On the contrary, modern society is full of desires and temptations. We have many choices, but we seldom choose the wise one.
When we are used to eating and drinking all kinds of strong-smelling things, we have completely lost the ability to appreciate cold water, green tea and light rice;
When we get used to BMW cars, we waste the legs that God gave us to walk on the ground.
When we get used to flattery, we forget that the function of ears is to filter the lingering wind;
When we get used to the luxurious life, we ignore that the sky is blue and the grass is green. ...
Too many habits, too much blindness to beautiful things, maybe after a few years, looking back on my life, I have lost green grass, blue sky, clean ears, sweet taste and flexible legs.
At that time, there will be more than just a sigh!
