It is generally believed that material wealth is often determined by many objective factors, while spiritual wealth mainly depends on one's own will. The poorer a person is, the more they need a rich spiritual world to hide in when things don't go well in reality. Despite being materially poor, they can still find solace in the beautiful and tranquil Mount Zhongnan in their spiritual world, and they can still manage to survive, albeit barely. But if a person is both materially and spiritually poor, how can they live? However, the reality in your country is that in order to survive and support their families, poor people have to work overtime, work 996, and take on part-time jobs, putting all their energy into making money. They have no time or energy to take care of their spiritual world. Therefore, many poor people are both materially and spiritually poor. But there is one exception, and that is poor people with low material desires who choose not to marry, have children, or buy a house. They have the time and energy to focus on their spiritual world. There are more and more people like this because fundamentally, humans are spiritual beings. They are not like animals who only need to be fed and clothed. They have spiritual needs, which for many people, come before housing and starting a family. For every poor person in this country, the biggest and often overlooked reality is that they must devote their entire lives to fulfilling the most basic needs of a normal person: food, clothing, love, marriage, housing, children, socializing, entertainment, etc. All of these require you to work hard and earn money in exchange. Making money is for living, but life is not for making money. More and more poor people are realizing this reality and they feel that it is not worth it. They have to make choices and sacrifices, which is why there are more and more poor people who choose not to marry, have children, or buy a house. This is the price they pay in order to have free time to fulfill other aspects (such as spiritual) of their needs. Those who are still working 996, crazily working overtime, and willing to do anything to buy a house and start a family, can only say that their material desires and endurance are stronger. There must be something wrong with this society. Personally, I can't see any hope.

Generally, material wealth is believed to depend on objective factors, while spiritual wealth depends on one's own will. Poor people often need a rich spiritual world to escape from reality. However, in reality, many poor people are both materially and spiritually poor due to the need to work multiple jobs to survive. The exception is those who have low material desires and choose not to marry or have children, allowing them to focus on their spiritual world. Increasingly, people are realizing that life is not just about making money, and they are prioritizing their spiritual needs. However, many poor people still have to work hard to meet their basic needs and sacrifice their freedom and other aspects of life. This society has some problems, and the author does not see hope.
