We all like material life, such as nice house, beautiful car, new dress, tasty food all of which bring us a comfortable and enjoyable life every day if we can afford to do so.
But, one thing we need to watch out is that when we reach a certain standard of our material life, we should seek no more. As from the history of human record, too much material life will not only bring us trouble, but disaster as well. Proverb said: “Be content on what we have.” Which is, of course, right in every point of view?
If we want to get rid of material life, we had better in pursuer of spirit life. A spiritual life will cost us no money, but we can enjoy more than material life.
Spiritual life means simple life by which we do not have to spend a lot of money. We just live our life in a simple way. Beside, a simple life is not necessary to contact many people who, in usual case, only bring trouble and even disasters.
If we live to eighty or ninety, it is a long age basically. But, considering the speediness of time, eighty or ninety is not very long in the course of nature. Therefore, we have to live prudently every day in the reality of life.
