Why are many good people suffering and suffering in their life?

I once asked a high-performing master: "Why do kind people like me often feel pain, but those wicked do well ?"
Master looked at me with compassion and said, "If a person's heart is suffering, it means that this person's heart must be suffering from evil. If a person's heart is no longer evil, then the person's heart will not feel pain at all. Therefore, based on this principle, since you still often feel pain, it means that you still have evil in your heart, not pure good man. Those who you think are 'wicked 'may not be the real wicked. A person can live happily, at least it means that this person is not pure wicked ."
"How can I be a wicked person? I have always been very kind !"
"If there is no evil in your heart, then there is no bitterness. If there is pain in your heart, it means that there is evil in your heart. Let me tell you what evil exists in your heart !"
I said, "I have a lot of pain! I sometimes feel that my salary and income are low, my housing is not spacious, and I often feel a sense of survival and crisis, so I often feel unhappy and hope to change this situation as soon as possible; some people in the society who have no culture at all can even get around, and I am not convinced. A cultural intellectual like me will earn so much monthly income, it's really unfair. My family sometimes don't listen to my advice and I feel uncomfortable ......" In this way, I told my master a lot of pain points.
Master nodded, smiled constantly, and smiled more kindly. He said, "Your current income is enough to support yourself and your family. Your family also has houses, it's just a small area. You don't have to feel any pain for it. However, because you are greedy for money and housing, you will suffer. This kind of greed is disgusting. If you have exceeded this kind of greed in your heart, you will not suffer from it ."
"Some people in the society who have no culture at all make a fortune. You are not convinced. This is a jealousy. Jealousy is also a disgusting situation. If you think that you have a culture, you should have a high income, this is arrogant, arrogant, and disgusting. If you think that you have a culture, you should have a high income. This is a foolish mind, because culture is not the cause of wealth, and the previous life is the reason for money in the present world. !"
"Your family does not listen to your advice and you feel uncomfortable. This is not inclusive. Even if they are your family members, they have their own thoughts and opinions. Why do they have to force their thoughts and opinions to be consistent with yourself? If you are not tolerant, you will be narrow-minded. It is also disgusting to be narrow-minded !"
Master continued to smile and said: "greedy, jealous, arrogant, foolish, or narrow-minded, these are disgusting. Because you have these evil in your heart, and all of you are suffering from these evil. If you can completely remove these evil in your heart, your pain will also disappear ."
"Look at your income and housing with a happy and satisfied mind! You should think that you will not starve to death or freeze to death, and those rich, although also rich, are actually not starved to death or frozen to death. You should see that whether a person is happy depends not on the external wealth, but on his own attitude towards life. Grasp your life in minutes and seconds, and replace your original greedy heart with an optimistic, peaceful, and diligent attitude. Then your heart will become happier. "
"If there is no culture in the society, you should be happy with them. If you want them to have more wealth and have more happiness. If others get it, they should be as happy as they get it; if others lose, they should be as sad as they lose. This kind of talent can be called a good man! Your current heart is not happy because of the wealth and happiness of others. This is a jealousy, and jealousy is a very evil heart. You must resolutely remove it! Replace jealousy with happiness !"
"It is arrogant to think that you are superior to others in a certain aspect. The saying goes: 'arrogant Mountain, without virtue water'. Once a person is arrogant, he will turn a blind eye to his own shortcomings. Therefore, it is impossible to see all kinds of evil in his heart, thus improving his own goodness. As a result, the arrogant man blocks his own door to progress. In addition, arrogant people often feel lost and gradually feel inferior. A person can feel full and happy only by cultivating his or her imaginary mind from the depth of his or her heart and willingly placing himself in a humble position forever ."
"The real reason for wealth in the past is to 'Plant melons and grow beans '. Fanfu does not know the cause and effect, and considers 'cucumber 'as the reason of 'cucumber'. This is a manifestation of ignorance. Only by diligently studying the wisdom of the Dharma and truly understanding the cause and effect of everything can a person be bright in his heart and know how to choose his own thoughts, actions, and language. Only in this way can he go from the light to the light, from happy to happy."
"The void can tolerate everything, so the vast majority is boundless and free. The Earth can bear everything, so it is vibrant and has a great deal of weather! If a person lives in the world, do not get familiar with others' behaviors or words at will. Even his/her own relatives, do not give rise to your ambition and be at ease! Always help others with a kind of heart, but do not greedy or demand anything. How can a person suffer if his mind can tolerate everything like a void ?"
After saying these words, Master continued to look at me with a gentle and compassionate eye. I have been speechless for a long time, two lines of tears flow out of my eyes. I used to think that I was a very kind person. Today, I didn't know what kind of wicked person I was! I am suffering from all kinds of evil in my heart. If there is no evil in my heart, how can I suffer? Thank you, Master. If it weren't for master's instruction, I would never know my inner evil! May all my life and life be able to leave the good law and quickly cut off all evil in my heart!
