There is no way to misfortune and good fortune, but only people will call you; the rewards of good and evil are like shadows. A person’s life’s misfortunes and blessings are not brought by heaven, but are all inspired by oneself. Therefore, as a person, you must be mindful, be cautious in words and actions, be trembling, like walking on thin ice, not be careless or letting you slack off.
If you do these 5 things below, you will use up a person’s blessings. You must pay attention!
1. If you are not filial to your parents, you must be filial to others. This is the rule of nature and the foundation of human ethics. Parents are the roots, and children are the branches and leaves. If you do not respect your parents, it is like the roots of a tree that cannot be watered or nourished. Even if the branches and leaves on the tree are temporarily lush, they will be just a flash in the pan and will wither soon.
Parents are the greatest blessing field in the world. Being filial to parents is not only an obligation, but also a cultivation field of blessing for themselves; if you are not filial to parents and violate the laws of nature and human ethics, then you will lose your blessings.
2. Waste food
"At noon day, sweat drips into the soil; who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard to work." Everyone is familiar with this poem, which is to warn us to save food and not waste it. Because every grain of food is filled with the sweat and hard work of farmers, it is hard to come by.
But now, living conditions are getting richer and few people have been hungry, so the social atmosphere of luxury and waste is becoming more and more common. Everyone thinks that I buy food with money, and the money is earned by my own work. So what if I waste it? I can no longer understand the hardships of farmers in growing grain.
In fact, cherishing food is not only to sympathize with the hard work of farmers, but also to cherish blessings. Although money is earned by you, it is also your own blessing. Wasting food is wasting your own blessings. If you don't control it, you will be exhausted sooner or later.
3. Blame others when encountering problems
Nine out of ten things in life. In daily life or work and study, you often encounter unsatisfactory things. Some people criticize and blame others first, shift the responsibility to others, and do not know how to reflect on themselves and find the reasons for themselves.
Mencius said: "If you don't have in the line, you will look for it in yourself." If you blindly blame others and vent your resentment on others, you will be disliked and alienated by others, and your blessings will gradually fade away.
4. It cannot be beautiful for a man, but it is evil for a man.
A gentleman is beautiful for a man, but it is evil for a man. When you encounter good people and good deeds, others should rejoice and praise them and try to help them accomplish good deeds and good deeds. This is also a way to accumulate blessings for yourself.
But some people just do the opposite. When they encounter good people and good deeds, they become jealous and specifically create obstacles for others and cause all kinds of damage to make their good deeds and good deeds unable to be completed. When he encounters evil people and evil things, he becomes excited and specializes in fanning the flames and helping the evil, fearing that the world will not be in chaos.
5. Saying bad things behind people
The ancients taught us: "Sit in meditation and think about your own life, and don't talk about others' mistakes in chatting." But some people like to gossip and say bad things about others behind their backs after dinner. It is the most hateful thing to say bad things behind the scenes, and it is better to curse others in person. As the saying goes, "If you want others to know, don't do it yourself." Sooner or later, it will reach people's ears, and there will be an enemy at that time. As this continues, with more enemies, the road to life will become narrower and more difficult, and the blessing will be exhausted.
