Why do we lack happiness?

I have been chatting with many classmates recently. Most of them have made small achievements, some have already started a BMW, some have multiple properties in Beijing and Tianjin, and some are middle-level leaders in their work units. But there is a general feeling that they are busy making money every day, and they don't seem to be very short of money, but they generally lack happiness, security and hope. That's exactly what I said: "Being rich doesn't mean having happiness, security and hope." Analysis of the reasons seems to be related to their income patterns and sources, because it is not wages and benefits that can really make them complete their original accumulation, but unsafe gray income. I think the root cause of this phenomenon is class solidification. Let me give you a simple example: you come from Peking University, Tsinghua and Fudan University, and your salary of 3,000 yuan a month is much worse than that of girls in nightclubs. Do you know how much this has subverted our traditional culture in China? I used to study hard at the so-called cold window to get ahead. What do you depend on today? Speculate Today's problem, I think the most basic root is not the deterioration of people's hearts, but the solidification of the whole social class. Our young people have no chance to get ahead. Let me ask you, what do you want to do after graduating from college after 80 s and 90 s? The job you are looking for is two or three thousand yuan a month, which may take a lifetime. When you despair of the class solidification of the whole society, the phenomenon mentioned above naturally occurs. You will find that gray income is the most important thing in your life. Maybe you won't have a house, a car or a wife. How did the gray income come from? Is to take advantage of his position to eat and get cards, speculate or go to nightclubs at night, be on TV if you are the one, and so on. Gray income is the inevitable result of class solidification. How to solve the class solidification? We must give the people a chance. Why do many people want to study in the United States, or even stay in the United States? Why? Do you think America is good? America can't be more wonderful than China, so I don't want to live in America. But one thing is worth learning from the United States, that is, the American government can proudly tell anyone about the American dream. A black man with divorced parents like Obama also became the president of the United States. He appointed Locke as the Minister of Commerce, and Locke is a third-generation immigrant. His parents started washing dishes in a restaurant. There is also Steven Chu, who stayed after studying in the United States and eventually became the Minister of Energy. Do you know what this means? Obama, who are you? Chu and Locke, who are you? No family background at all. What makes you successful? Because American society has given everyone the American dream. What is the American Dream? Not to give you more salary, not to give you room for gray income, but what? Give everyone hope. Only if you give everyone hope and everyone has the opportunity to start a business can you have the passion to do everything well, because he has a dream that he can become Obama in a few decades, and he can become Steven Chu and Gary Locke. Do you think we have this chance in China today? Young friends, do you think you can reach the level of Chu and Locke in the civil service? Is it possible? It's impossible. Therefore, what China people lack today is not money, but hope.
