Engaging in transactions was originally meant to build wealth and improve your life; yet, in reality, you keep paying the price for your former self. These "bills" not only cover tangible expenses like money, time, family, marriage, career, and emotions, but also countless intangible costs. As Ding Yuanying observed, it is precisely because you don’t fully understand yourself that you retain your authenticity; if you truly knew yourself, you might not be the person you once were. In a reflective moment, amid the soft glow of scattered lights, do you still remain the same person?
