Honestly, I've always felt that human nature is inherently evil.
But in my hometown county, I got scammed 3 times in one week, which is indeed a high rate.
The first time was taking a taxi: from the countryside to the city, the ride cost just over 30 yuan with a ride-hailing app, but I was charged 50 yuan after the meter was used.
I strongly suspect the meter was tampered with—no matter how much, could it really be nearly double?
The second time was at a parking lot. Truly, I've never encountered a place without parking lines or designated parking spots, and no license plates on private parkin

Never lend money to anyone unless you're giving money to others. Moreover, people who borrow money are irresponsible and foolish; they shouldn't let others involuntarily possess their labor.
My money is the result of my labor; no one has the right to use my labor without compensation.
I've seen too many people who stand to lend and kneel to collect debts; I've seen too much of it.
I now have a principle: if someone asks me for a loan, I can help by introducing them to a bank for a loan. Don't mention borrowing money to me.
Money has a cause and effect; I can't bring myself to ask others for a

A doctor from a top-tier hospital said:
People can only truly understand all of this when they are about to die: life is actually a scam.
The main task is not to buy a house or a car, nor to indulge in instant gratification. These are desires, not the truth.
Life is just a dream; it is fleeting and not real. We should not burden ourselves with so many missions and excessive responsibilities.
In this world, we who are alive are no different from an ant, an insect, a mosquito, or a beetle.
When you reach the end of your life and look back suddenly, you will realize that everything we pursue is l

Recently learned a new term: the social critical point
I truly resonate with it, taking my small hometown as an example
In 25 years, there have been 6-7 murder cases, of course, not reported in the news
My friend is responsible for criminal cases in this area, so I have some understanding
One case involved a woman cheating, and her husband directly stabbed her and the mistress to death in the hospital
Another was a minor roadside argument, which led to someone being strangled, and the victim was the only son of a certain bureau chief, from a wealthy family
The murderer was an elderly man over

From a historical perspective, it was definitely the right decision when Empress Dowager Cixi used the funds for building warships to repair the Summer Palace.
Today, this garden still earns over a billion yuan in ticket sales each year and has solved employment issues for many people.
If the money back then had been used to build warships, given the character of the late Qing officials, they would have all become targets for the Japanese Navy!
Currently, the Summer Palace has 1,190 staff members, 1,118 retired personnel, and an annual expenditure of 510 million yuan. These are all data publis

I really like @neet_acc teacher's statement:
Bitcoin is a modern religion.
Christianity has Jesus, Buddhism has Shakyamuni, Islam has Muhammad, and Bitcoin has Satoshi Nakamoto.
Christianity has the "Bible," Buddhism has the "Tripitaka," Islam has the "Quran," and Bitcoin has "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System."

In China, after the age of 35
Reading, changing jobs, getting married, etc., whatever you do, it's too late.
Only when someone passes away suddenly will people say, "They left so young."
Really sad

Several frens have achieved financial freedom, and when chatting, they mentioned wanting to do something.
A fren said they want to give back to their hometown.
Let me give an example of my second uncle, and he won't say a word.
My second uncle can be considered a successful person. He has been giving six hundred yuan to elderly people over sixty in the village every year for over ten years.
Last month I went back to the village for a feast, and the villagers directly asked me, meaning that after so many years, prices have risen, why is it still only 600 yuan?
I can only say: Over the years

Recently, a friend who is a second-generation rich kid—worth over a hundred million—told me he has several assistants.
One is to help him find all kinds of beautiful women, to inquire about fun places. One time, I was with them and I realized how this "assistant" saves him time. This "assistant" is a pick-up expert, who sees a pretty girl on the street and approaches her, gets to know her, chats for a while, then invites her out for a meal or drinks. At that moment, the wealthy second-generation friend would "appear like a boss descending" at the date location, quickly getting to know the girl
