Classification of human material living conditions: Having time and money > Having time but no money > Having money but no time > Having neither time nor money
Classification of human spiritual living conditions: Having creativity and love > Having creativity but no love > Having love but no creativity > Having neither creativity nor love
Material living conditions can be exemplified based on occupation and social class.
Having time and money: Government officials, business owners
Having time but no money: Farmers in remote areas, beggars in cities
Having money but no time: White-collar workers in foreign companies, programmers
Having neither time nor money: Delivery drivers, lower-class women who work during the day and do housework and take care of children at night
Spiritual conditions cannot be classified based on occupation and social class, so some specific individuals are used as examples.
Having creativity and love: Sartre, Duras
Having creativity but no love: Nietzsche, Newton
Having love but no creativity: Many people on the street
Having neither creativity nor love: Migrant workers and laborers who cannot afford to get married
Everyone struggles up and down on the ladder formed by the above classifications. The so-called struggle is to climb from a lower level to a higher level. However, there is an exception, or a state of life, that can break the barriers of material and spiritual and surpass all the levels mentioned above, eliminating these differences and injustices. That is when the work you do is what you like and the person you love also loves you. Only when you enjoy your work can you be creative, and only with creativity can you achieve success. With success comes money, and with money comes the ability to buy time. Only with time and money can you engage in love and creativity, and only with creativity and achievements are you worthy of others' love. The key and core of all this is that you are doing what you like. This not only allows you to climb up the ladder more effectively but, more importantly, if you are doing what you like, the level you are at no longer matters. Every moment of your work is enjoyable, and you immerse yourself in happiness and joy, disregarding money, fame, beautiful women, and handsome men.
Therefore, you must find ways to do what you love. Otherwise, we will have to use money and time as references, and be guided by fame and beauty, struggling or hopelessly living on the ladder and ridges formed by the aforementioned levels. Life will fall into a miserable state.
