The old man said: Nine generations of relatives are corrupted, and people are poor and six relatives are broken - revealing the philosophy of life and gaining insight into the hot and cold state of the world
There is a good saying: "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you." "Many proverbs and sayings that circulate among the people often contain the wisdom and experience of the ancients, allowing us to find a way forward in the complex life. Today, let's talk about the old saying - "Nine generations of relatives are corrupted, and six relatives are poor".
Many people must have heard this ancient adage when they were children, but they may not understand the meaning of it at that time. As we grow older and experience more things, slowly, we will understand that what is revealed behind this sentence is a true portrayal of life.
"Nine generations of relatives" means that if there is no harmony within a family, and relatives often quarrel, fight, or even kill each other, then this bad family environment will affect nine generations.
This does not just refer to the nine generations of blood relationship, but also refers to the influence of spiritual inheritance. Imagine if in a family where everyone lives in fear, anger and resentment, how would this negative emotion be passed on to the next generation?
They will carry this shadow with them to live, to build their own families, and then pass on this shadow to the next generation. And so on, and eventually, an otherwise happy family can fall apart, and everyone lives in pain.
And "people are poor and cut off their six relatives" reveals the cruel truth in real life. In a money-first society, poverty often means being marginalized and neglected. When a person is poor, he may find that people who once claimed to be relatives and friends now shun him.
It's not because they have become callous, it's because the pressures of life have forced them to make such a choice. After all, everyone has their own life to live, and everyone has their own responsibilities to bear.
When poverty becomes a label that a person cannot shake off, he may find himself less and less connected to the world and end up in a situation of loneliness.
These two sentences seem simple, but they contain a profound philosophy of life. They tell us that a harmonious family environment is essential for everyone's growth.
Only in a family full of love, care and support can we grow up healthy and have the courage and strength to face life.
At the same time, these two sentences also remind us that although money is important, it is not the whole of life. We should learn not to neglect the pursuit of the spiritual world while pursuing material wealth.
Living in this world, each of us wants to be recognized and respected by others. But in the process, we must first learn how to love ourselves and how to live in peace with ourselves.
Because, only when we ourselves are strong enough and confident enough can we attract equally good people to us.
When we have the ability to love ourselves and others, we can build a true family, where each member of the family will care for each other, support each other, and face the joys and sorrows of life together.
"Nine generations of relatives are corrupted, and people are poor and six relatives are broken", although these two sentences are a bit cruel, they are a true portrayal of life.
I hope that everyone can take inspiration from this, learn to cherish the loved ones around them, and learn to stay strong and optimistic in difficult situations, because only in this way can we go further and more stable on the road of life.
