"Augmenting the Sages" is a collection of aphorisms and proverbs, which contains the taste of life, the world is cold, whenever you read these famous sentences, you can think of various past events in the past, which makes people feel overwhelmed.
First, but do good deeds, do not ask about the future
Testimonials: This sentence is easier said than done. When I was still studying, I took this sentence as the motto of adult life, but the reality is very cruel. Those who often do good deeds may not be rewarded with good rewards, but those who do things with a clear conscience live a prosperous and tasteful life. As the saying goes: "Although no one sees virtue, doing good has its own heavenly knowledge", no matter how the world changes, as long as we adhere to our principles, have a clear conscience, and are worthy of our conscience, it is enough.
Second, the seventh floor of the tower is not as good as a lamp in the dark
Testimonials: Old people often tell us to accumulate yin virtue as a human being. The so-called yin virtue is to do a good deed, no one knows, and the blessing of this good deed in the future is the greatest. Therefore, even if you light a lamp for a seven-story stupa, it is not as good as lighting a lamp in the dark, because lighting the lamp in the dark is a accumulation of yin virtue.
Third, I believed in the gambling and sold the house
Testimonials: Gambling is never allowed to touch, do not believe the joke that others can get rich by gambling. The so-called "ten gambles and nine losses", those who make a fortune by gambling, from ancient times to the present, have not heard of a few, but because of gambling, they are all over the place. Not to mention selling houses, and even some people will sell their children and daughters because of gambling, which is the harm of gambling.
Fourth, it is easy to move from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to move from luxury to frugality
Testimonials: If a person is born very poor, is accustomed to a hard life, and suddenly has money now, has good living conditions, and can enjoy happiness, this is very easy to accept. But if you have always been accustomed to a superior life, but suddenly the family is in the middle of the road, there is no money, and the living conditions become very difficult, this ordinary person cannot accept it, and it is difficult.
Fifth, there is no money to cut off the wine, and the old man begins to chant
Testimonials: Alcohol and tobacco are addictive consumer goods, once addicted, it is difficult to quit, and many people do not want to quit. Often only when you are poor and have no money to buy alcohol will you be forced to quit drinking. The classics left by the ancient sages, when people were young, were impetuous and generally could not read them. Only when people reach old age and have experienced the ups and downs of society will they find that what is said in the original classics is the truth of life, not a deception.
Sixth, people do not have a thousand days, and flowers do not have a hundred days of red
Testimonials: The so-called "things will be reversed, prosperity will decline", what good things, will not always be good, what bad things, will not always be bad. Therefore, even if it has been smoother recently and life is more proud, don't be happy too early, don't be proud and complacent, look down on no one, and look down on other people. Because the world is impermanent, any change may make your good things into bad things, and make your life go from the peak to the trough.
