Why might someone have low material desires? 1. Prioritizing experience over possession. Owning a mansion, a yacht, or a plane incurs extremely high purchase and holding costs. However, spending a night in a mansion, hosting a party on a yacht, or taking a private jet flight isn't actually that outrageous. If the pursuit is the experience itself, rather than "this is mine," the cost is much lower. 2. Excessive empathy. Walking down the street, you unconsciously empathize with everyone—guessing what they're thinking, how they spend their day, and what joys or sorrows they've experienced. Therefore, if only you are wealthy, you might feel okay, but not truly happy. Because the hardships you perceive in others become your own hardships. Unless everyone is doing well, personal wealth doesn't bring true ease. 3. Respect for others. You believe in diverse evaluations and perspectives on people, not using wealth as the sole criterion for judging social status, nor social status as the sole standard for appreciating someone. You believe that respect bought with money is superficial. You dislike power play, using money to make others like or serve you. 4. The pursuit of spiritual life, or confusion about it. You ponder the meaning of life daily. Perhaps life itself has no meaning, or perhaps every second of life is meaningful. You oscillate between pain and boredom, feeling that how much money you make and experiencing happiness are two completely unrelated things. You easily foresee that even with more wealth, you will still feel life is meaningless. You feel that life is so comfortable, yet your spirit is so tormented.
