In this fast-paced, high-stress era, each of us is running for life, and every day is like a marathon with no end. In this context, some traditional sayings are like a beacon that illuminates our way forward and brings us many inspirations. Today, let's talk about the old saying: "There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time", and the second half of the sentence that is often ignored - "There is no good wife in a poor family for a long time", * the truth of human nature hidden behind this.
As the saying goes, words are not rough. This may sound a little chilling, but it reveals a cruel reality: when someone in the family is chronically ill and needs continuous care, it is difficult for family members, especially children, to always maintain the filial piety that they deserve. Don't get me wrong, it's not that they're not filial, but long-term care work, coupled with all kinds of pressures in life, can indeed make people feel tired and helpless. Especially in the modern world, where people are busy with work and the pace of life is accelerating, it is indeed a challenge to juggle family, work and personal life at the same time.
Let's take a look at the second half of the neglected sentence: "There is no good wife in a poor family for a long time". In the same way, this sentence may seem to blame wives who choose to leave when their families are impoverished, but in reality, it reflects more of a social reality: the economic base has a large impact on the stability of family relationships. I have to admit that although money is not everything, in modern society, it is a necessary condition for maintaining the basic life of the family. When the family is unable to meet the basic needs of life, no matter how deep the relationship between the husband and wife, conflicts and conflicts will inevitably arise.
But then again, these sayings are not for us to indulge in negativity, but for us to face up to these problems and think about solutions. With the development of society and the advancement of science and technology, we have more resources and methods to take care of family members who are sick for a long time. For example, it is possible to reduce the stress on family members by hiring professional caregivers, while at the same time using modern technology products, such as smart monitoring devices and health management applications, can improve the efficiency and quality of patient care.
As for the problem of "no good wife in a poor family", the key to solving it lies in the mutual understanding and support between family members. Financial difficulties are temporary, and as long as family members can support each other and face difficulties together, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. At the same time, the society should also provide more support, such as vocational training and entrepreneurship support, to help those families in distress get out of the predicament as soon as possible.
In this uncertain world, each of us may encounter a variety of difficulties and challenges. But as these traditional sayings teach us, as long as we have the courage to face reality and have the wisdom to find a solution to the problem, nothing is impossible. Therefore, the next time you hear the words "there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time" and "there is no good wife in the poor family for a long time", you might as well think more about the deep meaning behind it, and maybe you will have new discoveries and insights.
Finally, while these sayings reveal some of the less glamorous aspects of human nature, they are also the result of the wisdom of our ancestors. They remind us that we need more understanding, tolerance and courage in the face of life's challenges. After all, isn't life all about challenges and overcomes? Let's move on with this wisdom and courage!
