In the first picture ,someone spent more than 300,000 RMB on a feast while the little boy and his grandpa were vexed about the tuition in the second picture.In China ,the gap between the wealthy and poor is widening.Just as the two pictures showed us,the rich spent a large amount of money on luxurious things ,which were not necessary,while the poor had to be vexed about little but essential money.Looking this ,what are you thinking about and what should we do?
Set your hearts at rest ,we need not donate money to the charity as we cannot make money now.Of course,if someone wants to donate a little ,just do it.We need not make sacrifices to the poor, either.What we should to are only three things.
First,try to be thifty or at least not luxurious.I think it is easy to do and we can gain a lot in this process.Second,keep away from upward comparision.In other words,do not persue name brand blindly.Last,but the most important,when we see this kind of pictures,try to make your hearts as peaceful as possible.Then you may feel happiness and be grateful to your pessessions.
Actually,when I saw a series of this kind of pictures,my heart was touched and moved.I thought a lot about my life and gained what I wrote down just now.
Whenever you get mental pain in your life,think about those poor men and you will be released.

Yes, you made an insightful observation. There is a growing gap between the rich and the poor in many countries, including China. It is foolish to compare ourselves with those who are richer because we would become very unhappy. If we consider the plight of those who are much poorer, we learn to be thankful for what we have. We become less dissatisfied with our lot. The secret to happiness is contentment with what we have. If we begin to count our blessings, we may be surprised to know we actually have a lot; it may not be in terms of money and possessions, but we do have a lot to be grateful for.
