"I hope that people in the world will not be sick, I would rather put medicine on the shelf to make dust." There is a couplet like this hanging in a drug store. What do you think?

You can often see slogans such as "I hope people in the world are disease-free, why worry about medicines on the shelves making dust" in pharmacies. The purpose of such slogans is very obvious. It mainly wants to express What it means is that it doesn’t matter whether the medicine in the pharmacy is sold or not, as long as everyone in the world is safe and healthy. So why do pharmacies hang such couplets, and what is the real purpose of hanging such couplets in pharmacies?

I think there are two main possible reasons why the pharmacy does this:

The first possibility is that the owner of the pharmacy is really a kind-hearted person.

Opening a pharmacy belongs to the category of doing business. Pharmacy owners are considered a type of businessmen. In the eyes of many people, they believe that businessmen are shrewd, greedy, and only interested in profit. It is impossible to have such a business. Such a kind-hearted boss who really wants everyone in the world to be healthy and doesn't care whether the medicines in his pharmacy are sold or not.

However, everything cannot be generalized. Although many people’s goal in this materialistic era is indeed just to make money, there are also some people who are kind-hearted and really hope that people in the world can live healthily and safely. Well, some people who are engaged in philanthropy are good examples.

So it cannot be ruled out that the owner of this pharmacy is a kind-hearted person who cares about the common people. Although the probability is not very high, I believe there is still a possibility.

The second possibility is that the pharmacy wants to use such a couplet to create a feeling of "the benevolence of doctors".

This possibility is very high, and more people will imagine in this direction. As mentioned above, opening a pharmacy belongs to the category of business. Pharmacy owners almost always open stores to make money, so they will rack their brains to make their business prosperous, which includes hanging such a couplet in the pharmacy.

The significance of hanging such a couplet is that it can create a feeling of "doctors' benevolence". When customers walk into a drugstore and see such a couplet, they will feel that this drugstore is a conscience drugstore, and then You will have a good impression of this drugstore. This is the idea behind the drugstore hanging such couplets.

But in fact, customers may not really think that such a couplet can reflect how kind the drugstore owner is. Compared with people nowadays, they have seen more things and are not so simple. Maybe they can see it at a glance. It's out of the pharmacy owner's mind.
