The road is far from gold

One day, my husband said to me, "When I got married in the past, I didn't give you any gifts. Now I'll give you a gold ring.

I said, "I appreciate the thought. But I don't want any goldware.

The gentleman laughed and said you must not be able to spare the money. Buying gold is very cost-effective, wear it on your hand, is a decorative piece, in addition to good-looking, the value itself is still there. If you don't like the style anymore, you can still beat it into a new look. Why don't you like it?

I said, "I'm counting on another account.

He was interested and asked me to explain.

I said I am a working woman, wearing gold, and it is not convenient to do work. As the saying goes, there is no light load on a long journey.

The gentleman laughed and said, "You think I will buy you a heavy gold ring? You think so. We can only buy a gold ring, but a few grams of weight.

I said, "Listen to me. I write every day at my desk, without distinguishing between morning and evening. When I type a word on the computer, I have to hit the key at least twice. Even if the ring weighs five grams, hand up and hand down, a word will consume ten grams more weight. It is not a small amount over a long period. Suppose I want to write a long novel of a million words, this little ring will become a ten-ton gold lump, decorated with finger joints, how big a burden it is! There is too much to do, and the road is far from gold.

Mr. said, how about we buy a gold necklace, your neck is always immobile when you write.

I said I do not like the shape of the necklace, it is a kind of chain. I admire simplicity and freedom, and I think the ultimate beauty is nature. Besides, I have been X-rayed for cervical hyperplasia many years ago, so I can't bear to burden my neck which is as heavy as lead.

Mr. sighed and said, as a woman, you do not have a gram of gold all over your body, really do not regret it?

I said, I have many regrets, such as articles not beautiful, cooking skills are not sophisticated, car dizziness, never weave a sweater that fits ...... but not regret the gold thing.

Mr. said you are against the trend.

I said, not against the trend, it does not matter. What is gold? Isn't it a metal on earth that is not too little and not too much? With this metal is a symbol of your nobility, without this metal is doomed to lowly? There are many kinds of rare metals on this planet, such as platinum, such as rhodium, such as uranium, and radium ...... that can build atomic bombs and are much more expensive than gold. We can't wear all metals, and metal doesn't mean anything more than what it is used for in the industry. If you like it, you can wear it, like a country girl pinning a wildflower in her hair in spring. If you don't have a gram of gold for various reasons, there is nothing to be cowed about, you can still stand up straight and live happily.

As a woman, if we have the sky and the sea, if we have knowledge and career, if we have self-confidence and dignity, if we have the love of our loved ones for us and our loved ones, our life is very complete.

What's the harm in having no gold when you already have too much?
