In the folk, there are many sentences full of profound meaning and philosophy, which are easy to understand. We call it a proverb! Proverbs cover a wide range, and most of them are dealing with people. Of course, there are also some truths about production, weddings, funerals and so on. Today, I will discuss with you the meaning of "laughing at the poor and not laughing at prostitutes". Why is the second half the essence?

The literal meaning of "laughing at the poor rather than prostitutes" is easy to understand, that is to say, relatively speaking, people will be more inclined to laugh at those poor people than women who are engaged in bad industries. But the meaning of this sentence is definitely not that simple. The "prostitute" in the sentence refers to all those who get benefits through improper means, not just prostitutes.

No matter by what means, as long as they are rich, few people will have the confidence to laugh at others with confidence. On the contrary, many people envy others for having such opportunities and courage. And those who have no money, for whatever reason, will be laughed at by many people in person or behind their backs. Of course, most of these taunts are not so direct, but you can hear the irony between the lines.

Although it is a common phenomenon to laugh at poverty rather than prostitution, it is definitely not what we should advocate! The second half of this sentence is the essence, which is the truth that most people agree with, that is, "save the poor without saving the poor"!

In this world, it is inevitable that there will be emergencies and people will need help. At this time, some people are willing to help, and the people who are helped will appreciate each other.

Then why can't poverty help? In fact, it is because poverty is a normal state, and most people are poor for a reason, that is, they do not strive for progress. "A leopard cannot change his spots, but a leopard cannot change his spots." It is difficult to expect a person to change. So if you help a poor man, for example, you lend him money, he may not only not pay it back, but also depend on you.

And if you don't borrow it and help him in the future, he may still hate you, because many people who don't make progress are also ungrateful. If he knows how to be grateful, he won't be so content with poverty, and he doesn't want to make life easier at home and make life better for parents and children!

Many people will not help such people, but some honest people may not understand these truths or refuse to help these people. Finally, I found that the more I helped, the more troublesome it was. I don't know what you think of these two sentences: "Laugh at the poor, don't laugh at prostitutes, and help the poor."
