Modern people: Why can't we not bend over for five buckets of rice?

Modern people have more backbone than ancient people: Tao Yuanming was a great poet and writer in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, and his great-grandfather Tao Kan was a famous Eastern Jin Fu and a founding hero. Grandfather Tao Mao and father Tao Yi are both governors. But by the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the government was increasingly corrupt and the officialdom was dark. Tao Yuanming was indifferent by nature. Even though his family was poor and he could not make ends meet, he insisted on reading and writing poems. With the desire of "helping the poor", he became a wine sacrifice in Jiangzhou. Because he didn't like the bad style of officialdom, he resigned and went home soon, and then the country called him the main book, and he also politely declined.

Later, he worked in some official positions one after another, but because he was indifferent to fame and fortune, he was honest and upright, unwilling to go along with the corrupt officialdom and lived an anonymous life. Tao Yuanming was an official for the last time in the first year of Yixi (405). That year, Tao Yuanming, who had passed the "year of no doubt" (4 1 year old), was persuaded by his friends to serve as Pengze county magistrate again. Eighty-one days after he arrived, I met Du You sent by Xunyang County to inspect official business. Liu Yun, a native of Xunyang County, is famous for his greed for money. He asks for bribes from the county twice a year in the name of patrol, and every time he goes, he has to return with a full load, otherwise he will plant it. The county official said, "When the belt is fastened, welcome it." Is to dress neatly, prepare gifts, and greet Du You respectfully. Tao Yuanming sighed, "How can I bow down to the children in the village for five buckets of rice?" How can I be humble enough to bribe these little people for the county magistrate's salary of five dou meters? Say that finish, hang the crown, resign and return to China. Since then, he has been studying and writing, and at the same time, he has been working in Longmu.

How can modern people compare with such integrity?

Li Bai, how can I bow and scrape to those people with high status and important positions? These people will never be seen with a sincere face. It is even more embarrassing for modern people.

So why can ancient people do it, but modern people can't?

The reason is that the ancient people, with integrity, could not starve to death, because the ancient people had a small population and many resources. If a person hates the world of mortals, he can go to the deep mountains and forests, eat some fruits and grow some crops, and there is still no problem to survive.

? Modern people have been inundated with commodities. Living in the city, you just can't move without money. You need money for food and accommodation. Even if you live in your own home, you have to pay property fees and utilities. It is inconceivable how people can survive without money.

? Therefore, not bending over for five buckets of rice is just a "goal". Why are city people obedient to Nuo Nuo and subservient to Nuo Nuo before the boss?

? In the workplace, we must understand:

? 1) Don't be willful in the workplace, and don't have the naive idea of "don't bend your back for a bucket of rice". Only by doing your own work well can you achieve something in the future and achieve "financial freedom". You don't need to bend over for five buckets of rice.

2) Despite the enormous pressure of production in modern society, we still need to have the integrity of "don't bend over for five buckets of rice". In modern society, there are actually many employment opportunities. If you leave this company, you will definitely find another company, and you don't have to do anything against your will to compete for food. Some people choose to endure workplace bullying, while others choose to cater to their superiors.
