I saw your photos on your home page. They are great! Thank you! Do you mean the photos taken at an amusement park? Yes, I heard that they have some very interesting and attractive facilities. Was it fun? It was really fun, I had a great time. But you know there were so many people, we wait for two or three hours for some activities. That’s a long time! You must have felt tired. Yeah, it was frustrating. But it was upsetting that some people just got the fast track, so they can jump the queue. It’s not fair. I heard about that. Some amusement parks, if one goes there, does not want to stand in the long lines of the popular rides, then he can pay some extra money to jump up to the head of the line, I mean, I believe that they call them fast track or VIP tickets. Yeah, but it’s not fair. Everyone wants to have the chance first, and all of us wait for a long time, so money is not everything. Totally. Money is not everything. Actually, people have described this before, we have lived through a quiet revolution from a market economy to a market society. These two concepts are not the same. A market economy is a valuable tool, an effective tool to organize productive activity, whereas a market society is a place where everything is up for sale. Do you agree with this, everything is up for sale? No, I don’t agree with that. Take knowledge as an example, you can use money to buy books, to employ tutors, to take an online course, but you cannot gain knowledge through directly buying it. In the end, the most important thing is rearing and learning. Yeah, and for instance, some parents just give their children some money to encourage them to do some housework, but it’s not a good way, because in this way, their children will decrease their initiatives. Totally. We must have a reasonable and responsible view on consuming and money. Money is not everything. Yeah! I agree with you.
