天上星星2023-09-02 13:26:54 @康赛欧 做好自己和做个人上人之间有什么关系呢?什么叫人上人? 在美国有需要做人上人吗?有“贫贱夫妻百事哀”在美国吗?是一种怎样情形呢? 美国社会像橄榄球,中间大,绝大部分是中产阶级。 底层有政府的免费housing,吃也不同愁和什么SSI, 真没见他们为明天忧愁什么。As long as you make a decent and honest living, you could have a comfortable lifestyle that you like, really not a big deal!
康赛欧2023-09-01 19:40:24 Hi elfie, well said, I agree with some of your points.
elfie2023-09-01 16:04:24You don't need to be rich to live as a person with dignity.
It's so different here than in China. Most people in the U.S wouldn't be able to strike rich but live comfortably. There's a solid middle class like us. We'd never become rich or super rich. It's not realistic. In China you might all of a sudden turn rich, then lose everything. So there was a craze about getting richer, becoming a billionaire and so on. But it's no longer working like that over there either.
