Material poverty cannot stop spiritual wealth


In the Jewish Code, there have been two sentences: "Don't look down on the poor, because there are many poor people who are very knowledgeable." "Don't underestimate the poor, their clothes are buried with wisdom pearls." In these two sentences, we can easily see the love and respect of the intelligent Jews for the poor.

Although the poor are materially poor, they are often rich in spirit, because material poverty makes the spirit richer. We can think of poverty as a school in which people can learn all kinds of ways to fight poverty and get spiritual food to overcome poverty.

Wilson once said this: "I admit that my family is indeed poor, but I am not willing. I must change this situation, this thought is entangled in me all the time. It can be said that all my achievements in my life are attributed to me. A heart that is not so poor."

Poor families made Wilson understand the hardships of life early, and made him stronger in spirit and unswervingly want to change this dilemma. Although Wilson is materially poor, he has a heart that is not so poor and has a huge wealth in the spirit. As mentioned in Wilson's words, it is poverty that makes him spiritually richer and accomplishes his brilliant life.

The poor often refer to a person who is poor in material life, lacks money and security, and many of the poor people we see are rich in spirit and endless. For example, Chen Sheng, the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Qin Dynasty, was originally a poor peasant. In his poor life, he cultivated his ambition and issued a question that "the prince will have a kind of relationship." Poverty did not make his spirit suffer from hunger. Instead, he made him angry and daring to question the princehood. He was far beyond the scope of the poor in spirit, surpassing the princes.

As the saying goes, "rich for three generations" is often caused by physical poverty leading to mental poverty. The generation of ordinary entrepreneurs are poor people who are spiritually rich. They gradually accumulate wealth and bid farewell to poverty in material terms. Therefore, the life of the next generation will become richer, and the spirit of the poor who lack entrepreneurial spirit will be lost. . When it comes to the third generation, it is often immersed in the rich life, losing more spiritual wealth, and eventually the material wealth is gradually lost.

In ancient and modern China and abroad, many celebrities and rich people have started from scratch by the powerful spiritual power created from the poor life.

Napoleon's success was inseparable from his determination to defeat the taunters. He was bullied by poverty and gained a strong spiritual backbone. Napoleon was not defeated by the predicament. Poverty made him possess more spiritual wealth, and he was able to stand out and succeed in various adversities and difficulties. Not only changed the material poverty, but also made people who had laughed at him obey him, under his command, no one dared to laugh at him.

As a poor person, don't blame God for being unfair. When God takes away your material wealth, it will give you spiritual wealth. Shakespeare once said: “People who are satisfied with poverty are wealthy and very rich.” Material poverty can make people gain more spiritual wealth and become spiritually rich and poor. A spiritually rich poor is not a real poor, and spiritual wealth is more precious than material wealth. The poor should no longer be stigmatized by their poverty. They must know that poverty can create more spiritual wealth, which is not available for more money.
