What does "the power cannot be exhausted and the blessings cannot be fully enjoyed" mean?

From ancient times to the present, with the passage of time, the ancients have also used their own wisdom to summarize many wise sayings in life. Although these words sometimes seem a little awkward, every saying is a life warning that our ancestors finally summed up through years of life experience. Although the words are rough, the etiquette is not. Where there are people, we have to face all kinds of dissatisfaction in life, and these philosophical words are the beacons that our ancestors provide us with in life.

The original saying of the saying I want to tell you today is: You can’t use all your power, you can’t enjoy all your blessings, you can’t take advantage of all your advantages, and you can’t use all your wisdom. ?, so what does this saying mean? What do our ancestors want to remind us? Next, let’s analyze it first.

First of all, let’s talk about the sentence "Position cannot be exhausted". The literal meaning of "Position" is power, and here it also means relationship, between friends and in the work unit. , the rewards after helping others, between relatives, between wives, between parents, each of them has his or her own strengths, and when you ask them for help with something, you are taking advantage of it.

Why do you say it is inexhaustible? As the ancients often said, tit for tat, you are right to help others. In order to thank you for your help, others will also help you when you are in trouble. However, this kind of help is not endless. After helping you once, it is equivalent to repaying the kindness, and there is no obligation to help you again in the future.

The same goes for relatives. Because you are their relative, they will help you unconditionally. But what will they think if you go home and ask your family for help every time something happens? Woolen cloth? Over time, they will be extremely disappointed with you, thus affecting the harmony and harmony between family members. Can’t enjoy all the blessings? Literally means that you can’t enjoy all your blessings. There is often a saying in Buddhism: If you accumulate virtue and do good deeds in this life and sow good causes, you will have good blessings in the next life. Therefore, a person's blessings are all cultivated by doing good deeds in the past, and are limited. Once the blessings cultivated in the previous life are used early, then you will definitely live a miserable life in the future.

And there is also a sense of persuasion here. Whether in ancient times or today, it is often said by rich families (second generation rich) that they are born with countless wealth, and they don’t have to worry about food, drink, or daily life. As long as they want, they can enjoy their lives. of glory and wealth. But what if something happens at home? Because they have been used to living in fine clothes and fine food since they were young, if you let them go out to endure hardships, you are killing them. Just like many children nowadays are unwilling to return to their hometowns in the countryside. They have become accustomed to enjoying the prosperity outside and it is impossible for them to return to their hometowns and live in a mud-brick house.

So this sentence is also what the ancestors used to advise future generations. No matter what the family conditions are, they must learn to be self-reliant, just like many descendants of the old people today. When their parents are old, they must learn to be self-reliant. , can’t chew it, so what should they do? At that time, you will not be able to do anything. After enjoying the blessings in the first half of your life, you will have to spend the second half of your life in pain. Don’t take advantage of everything? It means to advise some people who like to take advantage not to just take advantage, but to know how to be moderate and how to feed others back.

Perhaps some people with cheerful personalities will make many friends in life, but so what if they have more friends? Are all the close friends you associate with? For many people who have reached middle age, they often have many different views on the friends they made in school. Some people think that only the friends they made in junior high school are sincere, because there were not that many friends at that time. Mature thoughts; some people think that friends in high school are sincere, because at that time everyone was only focused on studying, and being able to play together proves that both parties are compatible; some people think that friends in college are sincere, because Friends at that time basically lived in a small social circle, and everyone's thinking was relatively mature. If you could be a good friend at that time, you will definitely be a good friend in the future.

Is this really the case? Maybe there is a part of the reason, but the most important thing in the process of interacting with friends is to respect each other. Only an equal relationship is the most important way to maintain friendship.

When interacting with friends, there may always be unfair little things, such as fifty yuan for a meal, paid AA for three people. At this time, there is a high possibility that someone will Paying two yuan more, or one person paying one yuan less, although this is a very small thing and may not seem important to you at the time, but the person who pays less will ultimately take advantage of his friend.

But such a small thing cannot withstand the ravages accumulated over time. Maybe when you have a conflict with a friend, this long-term advantage of one or two yuan will become the trigger for you to become strangers completely. . So we must remember: Don’t take advantage of all the advantages. Occasionally suffering a loss may not necessarily be a kind of bad luck, but may be a blessing for you.

Finally, let’s talk about: Never run out of wisdom? What special meaning does this sentence contain? Cleverness: It also means wisdom, and the wisdom mentioned here also means cleverness.

In ancient times, there was a common saying: "A person with too much wisdom will not live long, and someone with too much wisdom will die young." It means that once a person is too wise, it will not be easy for him to live long, and those geniuses who are very evil after birth will be even more likely to die young. It is easy to be forsaken by God, and it is easy to have a short life. Although this has some feudal superstitious meaning, is it not a warning? As a person, you must learn to be humble and don't be too sharp, because you don't have the strength to protect yourself.

As for cleverness, the meaning here is almost the same as taking advantage. In fact, sometimes when you sell vegetables, you may feel that you are taking advantage of others by giving them a little less, but others will not be able to see that. Any tricks? Maybe it's just that people don't want to pay attention to it. What seems smart to you may seem to others like you are just acting like a clown.

Finally, regarding the philosophical meaning contained in this proverb, I hope to warn everyone that everything must be done in moderation. Nothing can really be perfect. As the saying goes, when things are strong, they must decline, and things must be reversed when they are strong. Learn to exercise restraint, consider the consequences of everything you do, and don't just go your own way.
