With the development of material civilization, we have enjoyed the conveniences of modern technology and witnessed its significance to society. At the same time, however, the problems it has brought are becoming increasingly prominent. If we continue along this path in the future, the Earth will no longer be able to sustain endless material demands, along with the resulting environmental and psychological crises. Especially in the aftermath of the pandemic, humanity stands at a crossroads: shall we press forward recklessly, or seek a new way forward?

The world consists of two major dimensions: the material and the spiritual. We once believed that happiness is determined by material possessions. Yet after material living standards kept rising, has happiness followed? Not necessarily. For what truly brings happiness is the mind capable of perceiving it. Material comforts are merely external supporting conditions, not decisive factors. Take the joy of Confucius and Yan Hui for example: endowed with a joyful heart, they remained undisturbed in their contentment regardless of circumstances. This is precisely the ability sorely lacking among modern people — or rather, an ability that has atrophied after our long‑term reliance on material things. Hence, we need to turn our gaze from external pursuits back inward, to recognize and nurture a heart that can experience happiness.
