Chapter 42 my friend

My poor friend: You will be content with your destiny if you know that the very poverty that dooms you will teach you what justice is, and what life really is.I say knowing justice because the rich and rich only know how to keep their countless treasures in their hearts, and they don’t care what is indiscriminate.Rejoice, then, in justice, for you are its spokesman; rejoice in life, for you are the book upon which it is displayed; Their virtues are perfect. My dear sad friend!If you know that the disaster that makes you fall is precisely that kind of power—it can illuminate your heart and raise your soul from being despised to being admired by others, then you will be willing to bear this disaster, and Open your eyes, and you will see that life is like a chain, with a link within a link, and that sorrow is the golden ring that connects the present with the future.On the one hand, I have to succumb to the status quo, and on the other hand, I yearn for a happy tomorrow, just as the dawn and morning light are between deep sleep and awakening, separating them.Connect them again.

My friend, being poor can reveal the nobility of the soul; being rich can reveal the filth of the soul.Sorrow can make people humble, kind, and close to each other; pleasure can make people forgetful and dizzy.Because people are always looking for pleasure, lavish and insatiable, greedy and insatiable: there is no end to addition.For example, the crimes they committed under the guise of the scriptures cannot be excused by the scriptures; the various deeds they have done in the name of humanitarianism cannot be connected with humanitarianism anyway. If poverty and sorrow were to disappear altogether, the mind would be reduced to a piece of paper, on which were nothing but numbers marking selfishness and greed, and words synonymous with sensuality.For I have discovered that divinity—that is, the essence of the human spirit—cannot be bought with money, nor can it be produced by the pleasures of dandies; Abandoned aside, the dude also abandons this divinity and goes to have fun.

poor people!The time you spent with your wife and children after you came back from the field— o'clock.It is the symbol of the future human family and the embryonic form of a happy life for future generations. The life of a rich man and a millionaire living secretly in granaries and vaults is like the life of maggots in the grave, which is a symbol of fear. O sad man, your tears are sweeter than the smiles of the false.These tears cleanse the soul, and wash away the dirt of hatred; they teach the weeping fellow to sympathize with those who grieve; they are the tears of Christ. Poor man: the power that you sow and the rich reap will return to you.Because according to the judgment of nature, everything must be returned to its original state.O sad man: according to the will of heaven, your suffering will become sweet, and your sorrow will become joy.

Future generations will learn equality from poverty and love from sorrow.
