In the past there were people who were not rich but contented with their living style, laughing and happy all day. But when the new rich people appear, people look at them and ask, 'why don't I have a life like that too, a beautiful house, car and garden,' and they abandon their values.

  • -- Thich Nhat Hanh 一行禅师

在过去,有一些人并不富裕,但满足于他们的生活方式,整天欢笑和快乐。但当新富人们出现时,人们看着他们问,‘我为什么不也过上那样的生活,有漂亮的房子、汽车和花园呢?’他们就放弃了自己的价值观。
