People often say that "water and fire are ruthless, but people have feelings." The Chinese New Year is coming, and family affection and love have always been the bond that keeps people going home for reunion. If you spend the New Year with friends or colleagues, you will always feel that something is missing. Therefore, family affection and love have always been very special existences, not because of anything else, but because of "blood connection" and because of love in the heart.
But there are hundreds of people, of all kinds, and family ties and love will not be maintained due to various reasons. As the old saying goes, "There is no filial son in bed for a long time." If you understand the second half of the sentence, you will understand.
"There is no filial son before a long-term illness bed"
Although family ties are constantly being sacrificed, not everyone cares about family ties. Just like the old saying goes, "There is no filial son before a long-term illness bed." In just seven words, it expresses the pressure of life.
Since ancient times, disease and health have been topics of discussion around mankind. For example, the COVID-19 epidemic started three years ago, and then epidemic prevention and control has gradually been relaxed. Some people have become ill and recovered, some have recovered and become ill again, and some people have remained in our memories forever.
If your child is infected, you will take care of him without any scruples until he gets better. What if your parents are infected? Most people still choose to stay and take care of their parents, because filial piety is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. But what if your parents are infected with the epidemic and have some underlying diseases, and they need you to take care of them for a long time?
At this time, some people will quit and choose to work, because only by working can they have rice, maintain daily living expenses, and take care of their children who are still babbling. You see, life is like this, and it cannot be perfect. Only by choosing one can you continue to live. So "No filial son is born before a long-term illness" came out. Are they really unfilial?
Obviously not, human nature is good, and some people may have extreme thoughts, but I believe that most people are still very "good". Fundamentally speaking, "having no filial son before a long-term illness" is the helpless choice of most "unfilial sons". They are connected by blood, so how can they be separated easily!
"There is no good wife in a poor family"
If you love someone, it is a lifetime; you see, how beautiful the ancient love story is, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, who could not stay together for a lifetime in the cruel world, turned into two butterflies and stayed together lovingly for the rest of their lives; the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, even though they were separated by immortals and mortals, were not blessed by the Jade Emperor and were only allowed to meet once a year, but they still had no hesitation.
In the final analysis, stories are always stories, and they cannot become reality after all. If "there is no filial son in bed for a long time" is a helpless choice, then the next sentence "there is no virtuous wife in a poor family" shows that the world is hot and cold. If you understand the truth, your life has not been in vain.
It is difficult for a poor family to have a virtuous wife, and it is difficult for a man without financial resources to have a virtuous wife. How much philosophy of life does this proverb convey? Economic conditions are certainly a measure of a man's ability, but how many people work hard all their lives and still do nothing. If the wife is no longer virtuous because of this, then what is this kind of love?
Some people say that "everything goes bad for ordinary couples." It is understandable that everyone yearns for a better life. But if companionship and so-called love are lost in this world, people will become materialistic, what is the difference between that and machines.
A friend said: "There is no filial son in bedside for a long time, and there is no virtuous wife in a house that has been poor for a long time." The latter sentence is more classic. Economic conditions are important, but since you chose him in the first place , we should understand each other, accompany each other, and support each other. Only when two people work hard, tomorrow will be better. Of course, if the husband does not seek to make progress, but only knows how to ask for nothing in return, then such a life is really impossible, and no one can blame his wife for leaving such a person.
