There is no reasonable explanation for this. Working hard just gives you more choices.
I was walking down the street with my wife one day. She saw a beautiful cheongsam and tried it on. It looked beautiful on her.
475.
There were two things she didn’t like about the cheongsam. 1, Too expansive. 2, She wouldn’t have many occasions to wear it.
There were also two good things about the cheongsam. 1, It was beautiful. 2, We both liked it.
Without too much further considerations, we left the shop.
20 minutes later, we found a similar clothing shop having cheongsam. She went in the fitting room again and came out. To my surprise, this time the cheongsam looked even more stunning on her. I never thought she could be that gorgeous.
1500.
I had enough money in my bank account. And decided to buy it for her. But she refused. Same reason as the first time. I was unbearable. Kept asking myself why I was being so cheap. Why we couldn’t have the thing we both liked in front of us. I wanted to convince her to buy it, but nothing came out of my tongue. Maybe I didn’t have the courage, or I knew she wouldn’t agree at all. At that moment I even started to hate myself.
Finally, I went back to the first shop again. Bought the 475 cheongsam. She wasn’t happy at all. She kept complaining it being too pricy, there weren't many occasions she could wear it.
Baby. It was all my fault. I couldn’t let you have what you loved.
Why do people work hard.
We were so frightened by just attempting to own the beaultiful things in the world. Yet there were so many other people just happy surviving in the meantime as I wrote the article.
Why do people work hard.
Because there are no reasonable explanations for this.
