What are the exact words of this proverb that I want to tell you today? Infinite potential, infinite blessings, infinite cheapness and infinite cleverness. ? So what does this proverb mean? What did our ancestors want to remind us? Let's analyze it first.
First of all, shall we talk? Can't be exhausted? This sentence,? Potential? Literally means power, and here it also means relationship. Friends, work units, rewards after helping others, relatives, wives and parents all have their own advantages. When you ask them for help, you are taking advantage.
Why do you say the situation is exhausted? As the ancients used to say, it's true that you helped others with tit for tat. To thank you for your help, others will help you when you are in trouble. However, this kind of help is not endless. Helping you once is to repay your kindness, and there is no obligation to help you again.
The same is true between relatives, because you are their relatives, so they will help you unconditionally, but what will they think if you go home and ask your family for help every time something goes wrong? Over time, they will be extremely disappointed in you, which will affect the harmony between family members.
Can't enjoy all the blessings? Literally, you can't enjoy all the blessings. Buddhists often have a saying: accumulate virtue and do good in this life, plant good karma, and there will be good results in the next life. Therefore, a person's blessings are all cultivated through doing good deeds and are limited. Once the blessings cultivated in your previous life are used early, your future life will be difficult.
There is also a kind of persuasion here. Whether in ancient times or in this world, people often say that rich children (rich second generation) are born with countless wealth, and they have no worries about food and clothing. As long as they are willing, they can enjoy the richness of life. But what if something happens at home? Because they are used to living a luxurious life since childhood, you are killing them by letting them go out to suffer. Just like many children in rural areas don't want to go back to their hometown now, they are used to the prosperity outside, and it is impossible for them to live in that kind of adobe house again.
So this sentence was also used by ancestors to advise future generations. No matter what the family conditions are, we must learn to be self-reliant, just like the descendants of many neets now. Parents are too old to chew. What should they do? At that time, I would do nothing, enjoy the good fortune in the first half of my life, and spend the rest of my life in pain.
Can't take advantage? It is to persuade some people who like to take advantage, not only to take advantage, but also to know how to be moderate and know how to feed back others.
Maybe some cheerful people will make many friends in their lives, but what if there are more friends? Are all your close friends? As far as many middle-aged people are concerned, they often have many different views on their friends at school. Some people think that only friends of junior high school age are sincere, because there were not so many mature ideas at that time; Some people think that high school friends are sincere, because at that time everyone was only interested in learning, and being able to play together proved that the two sides hit it off; Some people think that college friends are sincere, because friends at that time basically lived in a small social circle, and everyone's thoughts were relatively mature. If we can be good friends at that time, we will definitely be good friends in the future.
Can it really be like this? There may be some reasons, but in the process of interacting with friends, the most important thing is to respect each other. Only an equal relationship is the most important way to maintain friendship.
When dealing with friends, there may always be such unfair trifles, such as eating 50 yuan and three people paying for AA. At this time, it is very likely that one person will pay two yuan more or one person will pay less. Although this is a very small thing, it may not be important to you at that time, but people who pay less will eventually take advantage of their friends.
But this little thing can't stand long-term damage. Maybe when you have a conflict with your friends, this long-term bargaining will be the fuse for you to completely walk into strangers. So we have to remember? Can't take advantage? The occasional loss is not necessarily bad luck, but it may be a blessing for you.
Finally, can we talk? Can't use up wisdom? What is the special meaning of this sentence? Cleverness: wisdom, and wisdom here also refers to cleverness.
Often in ancient times? Smart enough to live long, smart enough to die early? This means that once a person's wisdom is too high, it is not easy to live long, and those geniuses who are born evil are more likely to be tolerated by God and short-lived. Although you have some feudal superstitions, isn't this an exhortation? Learn to be modest and don't be too sharp-edged, because you have no power to protect yourself.
As for being smart, the meaning here is similar to taking advantage. In fact, sometimes when selling vegetables, you may feel that giving others a little less weight takes advantage of others, but others can't see your little tricks? Maybe people just don't want to ignore it. The cleverness in your eyes may be in the eyes of others, but you are just acting, like a buffoon.
Finally, regarding the philosophical meaning of this proverb, I want to warn you that enough is enough, and nothing can really be perfect. Prosperity will decline, and extremes will be reversed? Learn to exercise restraint, consider the consequences when doing things, and don't go it alone.
