Fall short of the best, but be better than the worse （比上不足，不下有余）
|
Throughout the tremedously rapid advancement of this increasingly fierce society, the nature of the human being is being exposed to the light. people are too unscrupulous to go all lengths to sit on the hedge or steal others' thunder. the unspoken rules are prevailing among every potential crack. they pull wires for money、career or other things.
spendthrift and cheapskate never stop their manevour to amass fortune. At the sight of those disgusting reality, i directly recall a motto from my grandfa: fall short of the best, but be better than the worse.
What if the well-dressed peers max out their parents' cradit card and enjoy the rejoicing of shopping while you could just stand poorly outside, admiring, and do the window shopping.
What if you unconsciously catch the wry smile on the face of the person who stole your thunder. well, just take it for the knockoff. not be serious or you will lose.
What if when you see a affluent 2nd generation squandering the money on which a middle class family can live for a whole year while a weather-beaten old man could just live a starved strikken life.
when the world lose the ability to shed tears for the poverty and the wretch, what can we do?

- We have to admit that many people become merciless these days. Guess what we can do is to be as kind as possible and try our best to assist those needed nearby.
