Money isn’t everything.

While modern society undeniably revolves around materialism, it’s essential to recognize the limitations of such a mindset and address them wisely. This perspective has given rise to the concept of “post-materialism.” Materialism often links social status to economic success, but post-materialism emphasizes sustainable living and social responsibility as central values.

Simply put, money is vital and important, yet it isn’t the entirety of life. Though it might sound like a straightforward idea, embracing and practicing it as a core principle can be incredibly challenging. Navigating the “sea of materialism” while striving toward the “sea of post-materialism” broadens personal resilience and enhances social value. True success and happiness lie in harmonizing both worlds—material and post-material.
