On the stage of life, each of us has our own script, and the elderly, they use their lifelong experience to weave a code of life. Among them, they have a unique opinion on the matter of inviting guests to dinner: "No matter how much money you have, don't invite three kinds of people to dinner, so as not to suffer for yourself." This sounds simple, but it contains a profound truth.
First of all, do not invite people who "borrow money and do not pay it back". The ancients said: "When the creditor enters the door, there is no door for gold." "This kind of person, if you have invited him to dinner, they may take your kindness for granted, borrow money without mercy, and pay it back. Inviting such a friend to dinner is undoubtedly digging a hole for yourself. Remember, money is in moderation, and you should be cautious in making friends.
Second, don't invite people who "tell the truth". This kind of person is like a fly on the dinner table, always like to stir up a peaceful life. Their words may make you happy for a while, but in the long run, they will only be exhausting. As Shakespeare said, "Rumors stop at the wise, but they circulate among the fools." "Inviting such a friend to dinner will only make your ears tired and your soul sinned.
Again, don't invite "ungrateful" people. They may have received help from you at one time, but once they were doing well, they forgot who helped them in times of difficulty. This kind of person, if you invite him to dinner once, he may look forward to the next time, and you, I'm afraid that you will be tired for a long time. Remember, grateful people are worth your giving, and ungrateful people, let them taste cold rice alone.
Of course, this is not to say that we should turn away people, but it reminds us to maintain sanity and boundaries in our interpersonal interactions. Inviting guests to dinner is supposed to enhance the relationship, but if it becomes a burden, it loses its original meaning. The wisdom of the old man tells us that sometimes, the best refusal is not to be invited, and let those who do not know how to cherish it reap the consequences.
Life is like a feast, and we invite people who can bring us joy, support, and positive energy. So, the next time you're thinking about a treat, ask yourself if this person is worth your money and whether it's worth your heart. After all, our time and money should be left to those who truly know how to cherish it.
Finally, let's end with an old saying: "Life is like tea, three or two confidants are enough." "In this world, a true friend doesn't need too much material, a meal, a look, an understanding, is enough. Forward this old man's wisdom to let more people understand that not all dinners are worth going, and not all people are worth inviting.
