As the saying goes, "illness leads to longevity, and hardship leads to misfortune", but weakness leads to longevity? Does this make sense?

As the saying goes, "illness leads to longevity, and hardship leads to misfortune", but weakness leads to longevity? Does this make sense?

Have you ever heard this proverb? Does the phrase "long life with many illnesses" sound right? How can a sick person live long?

Moreover, when we say that a person's life is hard, we mostly mean that he can survive well after encountering particularly dangerous situations. As the saying goes, "If he survives, there will be a blessing", so how can a person with a hard life say that he has a blessing?

Folk proverb

Sick and sick, but live long? People who have a hard life are less blessed? The meaning of this proverb seems to be contrary to common sense. Is this statement reasonable?

This proverb handed down from ancient times usually contains some truth, otherwise it will not be handed down to this day. Some seemingly unreasonable old sayings have actually been verified by generations, but when we have not experienced them, we will take it for granted that this sentence seems unreasonable.

Folk proverb

It is not uncommon for people to live a long life when they are ill. Some old people look weak and often run to the hospital. Many people may think that most of these old people will die soon, but they will live much longer than other peers. There are countless such examples in life.

Why do people who are often sick live longer? I think the original meaning of this sentence should refer to the kind of person who "does not commit a minor illness and does not commit a serious illness." In fact, old Chinese medicine practitioners often say that "a broken jar breaks for a hundred years", which means that all the patients who accompany the medicine jar are broken, and he still lives for a long time. Why?

Folk proverb

Because people who often suffer from minor illnesses will pay more attention to their health changes, and some even make themselves half doctors. Every time they go to the hospital for various examinations, it is equivalent to giving themselves regular physical examinations, which actually has a good preventive effect on major diseases.

Those who look healthy seldom realize their health changes. Once they get sick, they will fall down like mountains. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the ancients to say that "many diseases lead to longevity".

Folk proverb

Of course, this doesn't mean that you have to get sick more if you want to live a long life. The experience we get from it should be: when we are not sick, we should pay more attention to our physical changes and do some physical examinations and prevention regularly. Our Chinese medicine also has the saying of "preventing disease", so "preventing disease" is the key to longevity.

The ancients believed in "destiny". In the past, there was a saying that "life is thin" and "life is hard", such as "beauty is unlucky" Therefore, hard-working people mainly refer to those who often worry about their lives, but can always get their lives back through various tossing. After the accident, they often use "Damien Duff" to comfort themselves.

Folk proverb

But the ancients said: life is short and wealth is thin. Why? Although this kind of person's life is very hard, when he is in danger, the people who happen to be with him are all ill-fated, and most of these people around him are his relatives. Therefore, there used to be a silly saying that people who said "hard luck" would either disown their husbands or wives, in short, they would find close people.

So in this way, even if this person lives hard, he still can't escape the pain and loneliness. This is the origin of "no pains, no pains". Of course, nothing is absolute, and what the ancients said is not the truth. If you have different opinions, please leave a comment and discuss with us. .
