Chapter 935: Depression

Yang Qing didn't expect that the other party's purpose was this.

This is because I have walked through snow and drunk ice, so I want to warm up this world and give everyone a reason to live.

Whether Buddhism or Dao, they both advise people to let go of attachments and eliminate the roots of worries.

Cultivating the mind and practice to elevate oneself.

Unfortunately, Bao Bai doesn't understand.

It's easy to go up the mountain but hard to come down; many people cannot accept returning to the mire themselves.

They are not unable to survive, but they cannot face returning to being ordinary themselves.

With increasing economic pressure, such people will become more and more numerous.

Whether you say their spirits are fragile or call them cowardly.

This is ultimately a world that is very hard to control.

"What you said is quite right; we have already solved the problem of food and clothing."

"Now we are moving toward a comprehensively prosperous society."

"Although there may be temporary setbacks, our future is bright."

"Once we complete the industrial upgrade, everyone's life will soon improve."

"This is an improvement in overall living standards."

"As everyone's living standards rise, naturally we need more goods to meet the demand for raising our living standards."

"What we need also increases."

"For example, smart homes that people dare not imagine."

"In the future, everyone will have them."

"For example, water purifiers, air purifiers, and fresh air systems that not everyone has now."

"For example, currently expensive high-quality washing machines, gas stoves, range hoods, and refrigerators."

"For example, domestic robots."

"Many, many."

"As demand for goods increases, naturally we need more people to manufacture, design, sell, provide after-sales service, along with supporting industries and raw material industries."

"Are you all eye-gas cruise ships?"

"In the future, ordinary people can enjoy the life of cruise ships, along with cruise ship manufacturing, outfitting and maintenance, management, services, etc., which can also create great employment."

"Moreover, do you all have the idea of wanting to travel around the country to see things?"

"With the implementation of Qiongzhou's vacation strategy, in the future everyone will have the opportunity to enjoy a thorough and enjoyable trip."

"By then, RVs will be an important travel tool."

"Then there will be the manufacturing, sales, design, after-sales service, and service of RVs, plus supporting industries for RV tourism, such as RV campsites, sales of RV-specific equipment, etc."

"Especially with the addition of AI, everyone's available time will keep increasing."

"Perhaps, everyone could have two months of vacation per year."

"Also, have you all noticed a certain situation?"

"That is, enterprises adopting the collective shareholding model are increasing."

"Currently, collective shareholding enterprises already cover seventy million people, and including their families, they can cover over a hundred million."

"In the future, collective shareholding model enterprises will increase more and more and become the backbone of society."

"So everyone doesn't need to worry too much about excessive concentration of resources."

"In the future, everyone's wealth gap will not be that large."

"I feel that we can achieve a ratio of three-tenths wealthy people to seven-tenths ordinary people."

"If you still feel dissatisfied with this ratio, think about your surroundings: among ten people, three are relatively well-off economically; do you still feel it's too few?"

"What I want to say is, the future is truly beautiful; don't let temporary setbacks blind your vision."

"Look forward to everything."

"Moreover, I think a prediction is quite accurate: that within no more than twenty years, we will solve most of the world's diseases."

"Qiongzhou is implementing a preventive-mode medical plan."

"With prevention as the main focus and treatment as supplementary."

"If the results are good, it is very likely to be promoted nationwide in the future."

"Moreover, I will urge Yang Family's insurance company to issue a preventive medical insurance; as long as everyone goes to the designated hospital each year for the required check-up and actively cooperates with treatment, the insurance company can fully participate in major illness treatment."

"As for minor illnesses, forget it—colds, fevers, headaches, brain heat, etc., these minor ailments used to be easy and cheap to cure, but now even a slight move costs hundreds or thousands."

"That is fostering a bad atmosphere."

Yang Qing's supplement influenced many people, especially those who have encountered setbacks.

Yes, the future is very beautiful; why can't I let go of that?

Bao Bai is very grateful for Yang Qing's supplement, as it can influence even more people.

However, he still has a problem.

"Yang Lao, what you said is excellent."

"I suddenly feel my whole body is full of vitality."

"Difficulties are temporary; the future is beautiful."

"I also want to travel, but I'm thinking of hiking."

"I want that one day, when economic conditions improve, I will personally go measure the land with my own feet."

Yang Qing followed his train of thought.

"I hope that in the future we can build some hiking trails, with campsites, wilderness inns, and supply shops set up along the way."

Hiking is a very healthy way to travel; I think the supporting industry should also be pursued.

Actually I also have such a dream, but I'm old now and can't be bothered.

I hope you can realize your own dream.

Bao Bai

Sure, I will definitely.

I will walk a section each year, slowly, and someday I can fulfill my dream of walking all over the world.

Yang Lao, actually I still have something on my mind.

I don't know if you can give me some advice.

Yang Qing was curious.

Ah, what is it? You say.

Bao Bai didn't hesitate and spoke directly.

Yang Lao, do you understand depression?

Yang Qing shook his head, then nodded.

I'm not familiar, but I have a little understanding.

I heard it is being withdrawn, self-denial, mental confusion.

What do you want to say?

Bao Bai

Yang Lao, in recent years, the number of people with depression has been increasing, and those who become hopeless because of depression have also been increasing.

They have no economic pressure, nor have they encountered major setbacks.

It's just a bit boring.

If I were depressed now, what should I do?

How can I regain my love and passion for life?

Yang Qing was a bit puzzled and asked tentatively.

Or why not try becoming a monk first?

I feel that monks and Taoists are all experts in cultivating the mind.

They should be able to solve this problem.

Bao Bai, stunned.

Yang Lao, is there no other way?

Yang Qing thought for a moment.

Since we can't find meaning, let's do something meaningful, like engaging in some public welfare work.

Or plant trees and afforest? Or transform the desert? Or go to some places to pick up trash?

Not every place has sanitation workers; many places have litter everywhere.

If there is a lot of money, we could also go clean up ocean trash.

Speaking of trash, I feel a bit emotional here.

I want to urge everyone to perhaps elevate themselves and consciously not litter.

In this regard, we really do a terrible job.
