Proverbs and sayings are a form of folklore. They are created by people - and those who live now, and those who lived centuries ago. Proverbs will be created by the people in the future. Folk art researchers are convinced: each proverb has its own author. In other words, each of the apt statements was once made for the first time by a specific person. And the listener liked this statement so much that he decided to share it with others, and they, in turn, also began to retell the expression becoming winged. The people have a large number of proverbs that contain concentrated wisdom about human life, everyday experience. They carry moral instruction, important warnings, instructions.
The value of being in folklore
What proverbs about life help to better understand the attitude of unknown, individual authors, which was picked up and distributed further among the people? These are the statements that make you think about your life, how difficult it is and how many obstacles each person expects in it. “Life to live is not to weave bast”, “You will know the price of life when you lose it” - this popular wisdom makes us treat every day especially. After all, the time of being cannot be turned back.
Building your life and folk wisdom
Human life can be compared to a gem. Lying in the depths of the mountains, it alone is worthless. But only when the gem falls into the hands of the master, lends itself to cutting, he begins to shine and attract the enthusiastic glances of others. Similarly, human life. If a person builds his foundation with care and with goodness tries to help others build the building of his being, then from a simple existence his being becomes a masterpiece. If he builds this building as hell, without putting much effort, while also preventing others from building their own - his life becomes just a pile of dirty stones piled together. Moreover, the role of others can not be underestimated - for example, the Japanese proverb says: "Life's joys and sorrows depend on other people."
Proverbs about life about obstacles
The Azerbaijani proverb says: "He who has not experienced adversity, he will not see a pleasant life." Indeed, the path of life is rarely ever smooth. Defeats are necessary for a man no less than victory. They train inner strength, teach to collect the will into a fist. Often, the victory itself lies in the correctly learned lessons from yesterday's defeat. An easy victory, in which a person did not put energy and energy, can turn his head, become the forerunner of big mistakes in the future. Life is a movement, and any movement contains equally disappointment and achievement. You can never assume what awaits for the next life turn. “If you live, you will see, and you will tell me,” the Russian proverb says about life.
The influence of the human environment on life
“To live with wolves is like a wolf howl,” says another proverb. A person’s life style really depends on what kind of people surround him. And modern research only confirms popular wisdom: it is estimated that a person’s income is equal to the arithmetic average of the income of five people from his environment. “Tell me who your friend is, and I will say who you are,” says another wise proverb. Not only financial condition, but also the joy of life depends on what kind of people surround us. After all, joy is also contagious. And when a person is surrounded by people with problems, sooner or later he himself will become mired in turmoil.
Russian proverbs about human life also help to comprehend the role of labor. “He lived in bliss, but rode in a cart,” says one of them. It is impossible to imagine the normal existence of a person without money. Those who say that money cannot be one of the main conditions for happiness are most likely hypocritical of themselves. Saints may say so, but they cannot be found on the street at present - they live in secluded monasteries, far from society. Therefore, a popular proverb is right: without a financial basis it is impossible to build a prosperous life.
“To live without business is only to smoke the sky,” another proverb reminds us. Having a sufficient amount of money, a person has more choices: where to study, what to do in life, what food to buy. “Live all your good, and your hump!” - says folk wisdom. Proverbs about human life for children are the same as for adults, because people create their wisdom immediately for all age categories. From childhood, a child should understand the truths about life, that each person should live in a condition that he has acquired for himself, not to encroach on someone else's work.
