You can't have your cake and eat it.
I saw Mencius' I want fish, I want bear's paw for the first time. You can't have your cake and eat it. "That was when I was a student, when I was still young. I just thought it was a famous saying of the ancients. Just memorize it in your heart, and my understanding of it is just a taste. " With the growth of age, we find that it has gradually become a guide for us to make choices on the road of life.

In real life, people mostly pursue perfection, not only want the benefits of "bear's paw", but also don't want to give up the temptation of "fish" easily. How many people in life can escape the word "greed"? Married people often hope to have a stable and harmonious family, but they don't want to give up the passion and romance of love; Officials often want to enjoy the glory brought by power, but they are unwilling to give up a rich life; Strugglers often want to work hard for their own world, but they don't want to give up their family happiness with their parents and children ... You see, life is full of contradictions everywhere.

Under the command of greed, many people gradually forget the truth that "you can't have your cake and eat it". In the face of trivial matters of life and various interests, who will remember the old saying recited when I was young? So they are all bored, or separated by greed, or ruined by greed, or mediocre because of improper choice ... As the saying goes, after enjoying the happiness brought by greed, they must also bear the corresponding punishment.

The long road of life, at every fork in the road, we can only choose a correct direction to go on. Every decision, every choice, is a repetition of "You can't have your cake and eat it". Perhaps, only by learning to keep making choices will you know how to harvest.
