The common saying shared with you today is "when you are full and warm, you think about lust". In fact, the next sentence is a classic, which reflects the various aspects of human nature. As the name suggests, it means that after people have had enough wine and food, they start to think about it, develop lustful thoughts, or develop desires that make people indulge and indulge in something that they cannot extricate themselves from. There is also a beautiful love story about this proverb.
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a wealthy family who was very happy to have a daughter. He doted on her in every possible way and asked his husband to teach her how to read and write. The girl Bingxue was smart, diligent and studious, and soon became a famous local talent. Later, when she reached the age of marriage, there were countless talented people who came here for her, so the girl decided to "seek marriage with words". The first couplet she gave was: "Feeling warm and full of lust".
After the news came out, many people rushed to seek help, all wanting to marry a daughter-in-law who was both talented, beautiful and wealthy. While everyone was thinking hard, a young and talented man with great energy and energy came up with the second line: "Hunger and cold steal the heart." It can be said that a talented man and a beautiful woman were a match made in heaven, and this incident has become a legend.
"Hunger and cold give rise to the desire to steal" means: when people are hungry and cold, it is easy for them to have the idea of ??stealing. The reason why this whole sentence is so wonderful and has become a saying that has been passed down through the ages is that it is a simple and clear reminder that people will have evil thoughts in good times and bad times.
The purpose of the woman's first couplet, "Fullness and warmth brings lust and lust," is to remind people to keep their hearts and integrity in good times; and "Hunger and cold bring about stealing the heart" just caters to the woman's wishes. In times of adversity, we must always be vigilant, and we must not lose the bottom line of being a man. As a man, we must stand upright, and we must not be lascivious to wealth, cannot be moved by poverty, and cannot be surrendered by force!
The ancients said: "Be prepared for danger when you are in peace, and be prepared for disgrace when you are favored." When we are in good times, we must stick to our original dreams and pursuits, and not be blinded by the comfort in front of us; "Nine times out of ten things in life will not go as planned." When you are in adversity, you must be persevering and persevering. Only in this way can you survive the desperate situation and get rid of all the hardships!
"Zhuangzi Zeyang" says: "Safety and danger come to each other." In fact, whether it is good times or bad times, it all depends on oneself. If you don't know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, good times will slowly turn into adversity; if you work hard in adversity, adversity may gradually turn into good times. No matter at any time, we should maintain a calm attitude, stick to the pure land in our hearts, and constantly cultivate a strong heart and self-confidence, so that we can have a beautiful heart and a long-term foothold.
