Why are the poor always on their phones while the rich have no time?
In this age of soaring prices and shrinking wallets, we "poor folks" are increasingly living our lives online. It's not that we don't enjoy the hustle and bustle of the real world, it's just that the bills for offline life are longer than a restaurant menu, and make our hearts race. I remember when I was a kid, summer evenings were spent with neighbors chatting and fanning themselves, the most comfortable time. Now? We open our phones, the laughter and music from short videos become our cheapest "neighbors."
Why? Because online entertainment is dirt cheap. One internet cable can take you around the world and let you witness the world's wonders. But when we see the photos on wealthy people's friends' circles, showcasing beautiful scenery and concert scenes from around the world, we can't help but wonder: How do they have time to scroll through their phones when they're so busy?
Indeed, the rich seem to live such diverse and vibrant lives. Traveling, attending concerts, playing golf, yacht parties... their life is like a carefully planned banquet. They have so many entertainment options they simply don't have time for their phones. When they do use their phones, it's just one of many entertainment options, maybe like a spare tire, or the jack used to change the tire. They only use their phones to kill some time occasionally, but it's never the center of their lives.
So everyone starts sharing their own bitter experiences. We're surfing the 5G wave while the rich are surfing the real waves. We're climbing the comment sections while the rich are climbing mountains. That's the difference! The most infuriating thing is that a mother posted a video in the morning and was slammed by netizens for "playing" on her phone, and then in the afternoon she gave her daughter money and went on a trip without even changing clothes. The rich are masters of read-slow-reply, or even read-randomly-reply. It's the truth: the rich have no time for their phones.
We poor people use our phones because it's our lowest-cost entertainment. The rich always have new experiences and thrills to try, but we can only find happiness on the small screen of our phones.
Ultimately, the lives of the poor are pushed online, both pitiful and funny, just like mine right now. It's not that I want to play on my phone, it's that I can only play on my phone. Stop me if you can, I just want to lie flat and stop pretending. As a poor person, I'm revealing my cards. Bro, you're cyberbullying!
As a new generation of the poor, my mom also raised me this way. However, our parents sometimes don't understand us, thinking we only know how to play on our phones. Same world, same mom, the same heartbreaking helplessness. It's so hard, so hard! I don't even have the desire to go out to eat without money...
In this age full of opportunities and challenges, cherish what we have, including the phones that have accompanied us through countless days and nights. After all, no matter how poor or rich we are, happiness is something we create ourselves. Brothers, let's strive to be rich, like setting a small goal for ourselves, making a billion, haha...
