Today, we have a topic—wealth.From one aspect, we can say wealth equals money;however, every coin has its two sides.So from another perspective, we can also regard wealth as spiritual poeions.However, in the dictionary, wealth has three basic meanings.First, a large amount of money, property, etc.that a person or country owns.This point is equal to the first definition of my introduction.Second, the state of being rich, so this meaning is much wider.Not only a person, a family, but extends to a whole country.If a country owns a large amount of wealth, it may be a strong country.Third, a large amount of something.This includes wealth in spirit.No matter how rich in money you are, if you lack spiritual wealth, you are a poor man.We can see a lot of examples in the TV play, especially in Hong Kong.There are a lot of rich men who own a large of money, but they are so fond of money that they die without families looking for them.What they can only do is accompanying their money, which is very tragic.I agree with the three meanings in the dictionary, however, I want to add something to them.I also believe wealth can mean a policy which is carried out by the government.From which, common people can reap the profit.For example, Chinese government tries to perfect social welfare service.They take a lot of measures, such as 65 years old people and above the age can take the bus without paying.Among the
three meanings, the first meaning is widely used.So in the following article, I will focus on the first meaning.Different people have different opinions on wealth.Some extreme people even believe wealth is peanuts;emotion is the most important thing.Let me take a very famous Chinese poetry—as an example.He once wrote in one of his poetries—Invitation to wine that “oh, Let a man of spirit venture where he pleases.And never tip his golden cup empty toward the moon!” He did not agree wealth is crucial.He thought that once the money is used, it would come back.Similarly, in many Chinese TV plays, many kind characters also believe wealth is not significant;they always donate all the money to those poor people, but as a result, these “poor” people are not poor at all, they just pretend, which is pretty satirized.Let us change our perspective, another extreme people admit that wealth is the most crucial substance in the world.They cannot live without wealth, only with wealth, can they reap the profits.Just like the old Grandet, who is the most typical man.When his friend’s son Charles came to his home, he prepared quite bad dishes for him, and to finance the Charles, his daughter donated all her own gold coins to him, the move angered the old Grandet, and they had a heated conflict.What’s more, when his wife got serious disease and even to die, he still asked the doctor how much the medicine should cost, which shocked me a lot.In my eyes, both the two sides are too extreme.We need wealth, but we cannot take it as the most significant thing.Since in the world, there are many other things worth cherishing, such as love, spiritual wealth.As far as I am concerned, spiritual
wealth is the major, because once we own them, they cannot be lost and no one can rob or steal them.So the attitude towards wealth should be mild and gentle, or we will be out of the society.
