"You raise me young, I raise you old" I have seen a lot recently. I don't know when it became popular, but I don't know the origin of this saying, and I don't know how reasonable it is. If you think about it, this sentence still has a potential meaning, probably "If you don't raise me young, I can not raise you old". Literally, this sentence is very fair, fair is like a balance we are facing, one side of the scale holds your responsibility, and the other side is my responsibility. No matter what is placed on one end of the balance, it can be weighed by the law. The balance is to use the law code to measure whether the weight on both sides is the same.
In my concept, the law code is used to weigh, but I don't know that it can also be used to measure emotions, and it can measure everything in human nature, including flesh and blood, love, etc. This makes me feel a little indifferent, as if all our actions can be solved with a scale, which can also be said to be business behavior, and nothing cannot be exchanged.
I also read this sentence from the Internet, and most of them are talking about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or the relationship between parents and children. But the things at home are the most difficult to explain, because all parties in the conflict think that they are the recipients of their unfairness, and everyone thinks that they have been wronged, which is not clear to Bao Gong.
I will raise you to be old" is easy to understand, and it must be both parents who are raised, mostly parents-in-law. "You raise me young" is a little difficult to understand, just from the literal meaning of the parents raising their children, but according to the articles I saw, a lot of the "I am small" refers to the children of children. In this way, it is a greater responsibility for parents to support not only their own children, but also their children. After they raise their children, when they are about to enter old age, they have to raise their children's children, and they don't have to wait for their children's children**, they will be dying, and they are more likely to fall behind on the road under the burden, leaving only one person faltering and hanging from each other.
The world seems to be really a commercial society, everything can be solved by exchange, the balance can solve everything, and any feelings and responsibilities can be measured by law codes. It's just that I don't know if people who really think like this think that they will also be old and become the object of being weighed.
You can raise me to support you old
"You raise me young, I can raise you old" right
