First, money is not everything. In this society, there are many things that money cannot buy, such as family love and friendship, which are invisible but real!
Second, it is impossible to live without money. As a person, you must survive first, but to survive in this society, you must buy and consume a lot of things, which requires money!
Money can be given up. Money can indeed be exchanged for a lot of material things, build a relatively wealthy family, and live a relatively comfortable life. But life is not just about having enough material things to satisfy everything, because in addition to material enjoyment, spiritual satisfaction is also essential or even more important for a happy life.
Many scientists in our country who work day and night for national scientific and technological research give up the high-salary benefits of foreign employment and live a simple and unsophisticated life at home, but still gain a sense of happiness and career accomplishment. Faced with the choice between national interests and money and materials, scientists chose the former and gave up money.
Money is not everything. Although money is very important and can solve most of life's problems, it does not mean that money can solve all problems. For example, friendship, family affection and love, as well as respect, trust and reverence between people, these can only be obtained through sincere and sincere actions and cannot be exchanged for money.
If a person's spiritual world is very empty, then no matter how much money he has, it may not bring happiness, because money is not everything.

It is glorious for people to create wealth and obtain property and money through their own labor, but it is shameful to obtain something for nothing through exploitation, robbery and fraud. Money plays an important role in promoting the exchange of goods, but money is not everything. There are things in the world that are more important and valuable than money.
