Chapter 13 Economics - 8

When a man, at last, finds a job, he is not really required to put on new clothes to go to work; old clothes will do, those which have been gathering dust in the attic for a long time.A hero has worn IR shoes longer than his squire has worn them - if we say, heroes also have a limited number of jobs - as for the history of bare feet is longer than wearing shoes, and heroes can go barefoot.Only those who go to the evening banquet and the Legislative Yuan have to wear new clothes. They change one after another, just as groups of people change in those places.But if I can worship God by putting on my jacket and trousers and my hat and shoes, then that's enough, isn't it?Who ever noticed that his rags—really shabby and shabby, turned into the original raw material, even if it was given to a beggar, it would not be considered a charity, and the beggar might give it to him. A poorer man than he is, that man can be said to be the richest, because in the end he can live on nothing.I said you have to beware of those businesses that have to wear new clothes, and you must not be wary of those who wear new clothes.If there is no new person, how can the new clothes be made to fit him?If you have any business to do, try it out in old clothes.What people need is not to do something, but to do something, or in other words, to be something.Perhaps we shall never have to acquire new clothes, no matter how ragged and dirty the old ones may be, unless we have lived, or run, or sailed towards something, in our ancient shell There is already a new vitality in it, and if it is still the same at that time, it will feel like new wine in old bottles.Our moulting season, like that of the birds, must be a great turning point in life.Loons retreat to secluded ponds to molt.The same is true with the shedding of the snake's skin, and with the cocooning of the chrysalis.They are all the result of the diligent expansion of the heart; clothes are just our most superficial cuticles, or in other words, worldly troubles.Otherwise we shall find ourselves moving under a disguise and in the end inevitably be cast aside by human beings and our own opinions.

We put on one garment after another, as if we were exogenous plants, growing by additions.What we wear on our outermost, often very thin and fancy garments, is only our epidermis, or false skin, which is not a part of our being, nor is it fatal to be peeled off here and there; The thicker clothes are our cell walls, or in other words, the cortex; our shirts are our bast, or in other words, the real bark.I believe that all species wear something like a shirt in certain seasons.If a man can dress so simply that he can feel himself in the dark, and if he can live well in every way, be prepared and fearless, then even if the enemy takes the city, he can be like the ancients. Like a philosopher, walking out of town empty-handed has nothing to worry about.One piece of thick clothes can be used roughly the same as three pieces of thin clothes. Cheap clothes can be bought at a price that really suits the customer's financial resources. A thick coat can be bought for five yuan, and it can be worn for several times. In 1999, thick trousers cost two yuan, cowhide boots cost one and a half yuan, summer hats were only a quarter of a dollar, and winter hats were sixty-two cents. He made a better hat at home, and put on such a suit of hard-earned clothes, where he was still poor, wouldn't there be no wise man to pay him homage?

When I ordered a particular dress, the seamstress told me solemnly, "They don't make it now," without emphasizing the word "they" at all, as if she were talking to Fate. With the same kind of inhuman authority, it is difficult for me to get the style I want, because she doesn't believe that I mean what he said, and she thinks I am too rude.And I, upon hearing this oracular phrase, brooded for a moment, emphasizing each word individually to myself, so that I might understand its meaning, so that I might find out what they had to do with me. What authority do they have in a matter so closely related to me, with such blood ties; finally, I resolved to answer her in the same mysterious way, without emphasizing the word "they." ——

"Really, they don't have that style lately, but now they do it again." She measured my figure, but not my character, just the width of my shoulders, as if I were a hanger Nails, what's the use of measuring like this?We do not worship the Trinity, nor do we worship Percy.We adore hipster.She weaves, she cuts, she handles everything.The Monkey King in Paris put on a traveling hat, and all the monkeys in America followed suit.Sometimes I am very disappointed. In this world, is there any very simple and honest thing that can be done successfully with the help of people?People must first be put through a powerful press to squeeze out their old ideas, so that they can no longer stand upright on two legs immediately. At that time, you can see that some people in the crowd have maggots in their heads , hatched from eggs that have been there since time immemorial, not even fire can burn them out; otherwise all labor would be in vain.In short, let us not forget that there is a kind of wheat in Egypt that was passed down by a mummy and has been passed down to us.
