In society, why do people die for money, and birds die for food?

Old time sayings. It means that in the pursuit of money, you can not even live your life. --From "Zengguang Xianwen", also known as "Xianwen of the Past", is a very influential Mongolian reading book in ancient China.

In the form of rhymes, the book arranges aphorisms and proverbs together, and the sentence structure is flexible and changeable, thus breaking through the basic format of traditional Mongolian reading materials, which is a basic format of sentence structure throughout, and it is easier for people to accept. The content of the book is extremely rich, and it records many aphorisms that reflect the philosophy of life, including the way of life, the philosophy of life, respect for teachers, diligence and simplicity, and many other aspects. These contents are not only enjoyed by children, but also by adults, and many of these aphorisms are still widely circulated and often on people's lips today.

The basic need of a bird is food, and if there is no food, it will definitely die, and if you take risks to get food, you have a better chance of surviving. So it's understandable that birds die for food.

Man's desire is obviously stronger than that of birds, so he replaces the primitive need of birds with a more abstract concept, which is money. In terms of propaganda, fame and fortune seem to be derogatory things, but if you look at it the other way around, fame and fortune are the most basic needs of people.

But after all, people are different from birds, and gentlemen love money in a good way!

Both humans and birds have desires.

Money is a very sensitive subject, everyone needs it, and who's to say it's not important? But if you are only focused on money, your heart will be blinded, and your mind will change unconsciously. Maybe the original intention was just to live a better life, but slowly everything deteriorated, and too much attachment to one thing will evolve into a kind of paranoia.

Therefore, this paranoid personality will make it impossible to earn a penny even for money, and it will still be a moth to the fire. It is in response to the old saying: "People die for wealth, and birds die for food." "People like this must lack a calm mind!

It is better to hold on to death than to starve to death, and it is better to gamble than to suffer a poor life, and many times it is not that you do not take your life seriously, but that the reality is too cruel, that life is too urgent, and more people are for their own enjoyment, life is short for decades, and the fittest survive.

Birds may die for food, and birds are simple in their thoughts.

People's minds are not so simple, and they don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. I think people not only die for money, but also for love, for others, and for proving their innocence.

"Man dies for money, and birds die for food", is an old saying. The original meaning is"People don't even want their lives in pursuit of money. Birds would rather lose their lives in order to compete for food", by extension, is:"When it is difficult to preserve their own lives, living beings will try to do whatever it takes to do so.

Once upon a time, two greedy fellows went up the hill to burn charcoal, and when they were digging a charcoal kiln, they dug up a jar of treasure, and their proud joy was not to mention, so one of them said:"Go back and bring lunch, I'll keep watch here, and don't tell anyone about the treasure you find." "

The man readily agreed, and went down the mountain to get lunch. It takes more than half an hour for the people who go back to come back, so the people who are guarding the kiln think about how good it would be if this treasure belonged to me alone, but I still have to take half of it, and I am unwilling!Greed arises, and I think:

Why don't I do this, and then I will say that there has been such an accident, and all the treasures of this altar will be mine. Make up your mind and wait for the food delivery person to come.

It is said that the person who went down the mountain to get the food also had the idea of swallowing the treasure alone, and wondered why not put some poison in the rice and send that person away, and he was very proud of the treasure for himself.

The lunch was finally delivered, a careless, the kiln keeper ended the life of the food delivery person with a hoe, he enjoyed the meal proudly, and without eating a few bites, the person fell to the ground, whining and mourning!Rice was scattered all over the floor.

A few birds flew by, stopped for a few bites, and died.

A fairy passed by, saw this scene, and sighed: People die for money, and birds die for food!

As the saying goes, "people die for money, birds die for food" can be said to be known to women and children, and it is widely circulated, everyone has said this sentence more or less in their lives, and some people even use this sentence as a mantra on their lips, as an excuse to cover up their greedy nature, or as a good word to admonish others, and persuade others not to take risks because of selfish desires.

It means that in the pursuit of money and wealth, people can ignore life. Birds can not even want their lives in order to compete for food.

The source of this proverb comes from the book "Zengguang Xianwen", which was compiled in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and relied on folk literati to collect philosophical short sentences from the poems, scripts, proverbs, and aphorisms of the past dynasties, and then sorted out and compiled them.

"Man dies for money, birds die for food" means: man dies in pursuit of wealth, and birds die in pursuit of food. "People die for money, birds die for food" is a folk saying, from "Zengguang Xianwen". This proverb is often used as a metaphor for the sake of money, even life can be dispensed with.

9. People have no thousand days, and there are no good flowers for 100 days. Man dies for money, and birds die for food

Man dies for money, and birds die for foodThis old saying is familiar to many people, and even when some people do anything to obtain profits, they often cite it as a very high-sounding reason.

Although it is regarded as a wise saying by many business people, it is enforced like the rules of life. But not many people can fully understand its origin. However, just like the hero does not ask the source, although it comes without a shadow, but such a truth, once you listen to it, it will be deeply engraved in your heart, and it is difficult to forget.

It seems to be an instinct, although we are born without even eating and dressing, but once we understand the importance of money in our lives, it will awaken our innate subconscious: to survive in this world, it is impossible to live without money.

In this life, in the final analysis, people die for money. Whether you work hard, be negative, or be a 100% money worshipper, or you "treat money like dung", but in the world, the standard for measuring whether a person is successful in his life is still measured by how much money he earns. If you live in ancient times, you may be able to "read only the books of the sages" in the world, but in the new era of increasing technological progress, no matter how you want to live, you must earn money honestly.

But there must be some restless extremists in their lives, who do everything possible to twist money. Because in their point of view, as long as they have money, they don't care about anything, even if it is for their lives and people's face, they don't even care whether the way to think about money is correct.

This is the reality, and the selfishness of human nature is also reflected in this!

The threefold meaning of man-made wealth and death for food: First, it describes man's dependence on property (such as food, clothing, shelter, etc.) for basic survival. Individual life needs a material basis not only for its occurrence, but also for its maintenance and development.

Many people died of famine, many died of cold, and this untold tragedy is a testament to the proverb.

The second meaning is the relationship between property and human dignity. People sometimes compete for property not to ensure basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter, but to use the abundance of property to reflect their social status and reflect their degree and grade worthy of the respect of others.

The third meaning is in **? It accurately describes the situation in which people lose their spirits in property, causing Tao Yuanming to lament the state of being enslaved to things, and some people even fall into the ecstasy of fetishism. People in this state often equate property with life, with the ultimate value of life, and "people die for money" has become his motto and value refuge.

Thanks: Generally speaking, when people's basic needs are satisfied, they can pursue other things stably. However, there should be so many that can reach the realm of people dying for money, birds dying for food. One, really poor.

At this time, it is driven by the instinct of survival, starvation is death, and the big deal of fighting is death, and this situation is understandable.

Second, greed. There is nothing to say about such people. Even if he has the whole world, he will take risks to grab benefits. Greed is not enough to swallow elephants, and in the end, there is only a burial for wealth, and people's hearts must be stopped in moderation.

Third, personality dictates. This situation has nothing to do with the actual economic conditions. They are short-sighted, and they often fall into a desperate situation because of petty profits, and they feel that they have died well.

That's all.

People often use the kind of death that they feel is not worth it to describe it as "people die for money, and birds die for food"!

Therefore, this sentence mostly describes things that have already paid the price of life and are not worth it for most people. For us ordinary workers, of course, we should cherish life. How can you use such a sentence to work without cherishing life!

Overtime is nothing to brag about! There is no such thing as a job that does not work overtime. To put it mildly, the overtime hours of the emperors in ancient times are even more unimaginable! In the new society, everyone is better off than the emperors in ancient times, so what are the complaints?

What we want to fight against is the kind of exploitation that does not care about the lives and health of workers, not blindly crusade against overtime. Once you crusade against overtime, the goal is wrong! Because all departments work overtime, you just don't see it.

Why are some people okay with overtime, but some people are overworked and even have life and health problems. The point is that exploitation and overtime are two different concepts. We have to think about this clearly.

The hard-working employment of short-term workers by the employer is the hardest hit area where exploitation may occur. Therefore, parents have their hearts set on their children so that they can get a stable job.

For the sake of stable work, I think it is necessary for us to work together on a united front!
