100 - 1 = 0: A moral that everyone should know to avoid bringing disaster upon themselves!

By TULY989storePublished about a year ago 3 min read

100 - 1 = 0 : THE PRINCIPLE EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW TO AVOID CATASTROPHE!

The old monk wrote 4 calculations on paper:

2+2=4;4+4=8;8+8=16;9+9=19

Immediately, the disciples shouted:

"Master, you made a wrong calculation."

The old monk raised his head and slowly said: "That's right, everyone saw very clearly, I made a wrong calculation. But the previous 3 calculations were correct, why didn't anyone praise me but only saw and immediately pointed out my wrong calculation?"

THE PRINCIPLE 100 - 1 = 0

The same goes for people, when you treat others kindly 10 times, they may not remember, but just once you offend them, they will remember for a long time and can completely deny the good things you do for them. That is the principle of 100 - 1 = 0.

The ancients have a saying: Giving a bowl of rice makes you a benefactor, giving a bag of rice makes you an enemy. There are people who are used to receiving favors and easily forget favors. Not everyone understands the two words "conscience"!

Even if you possess dozens of good things, if you have just one bad thing, it will be an excuse to erase all your efforts. Even if you put all your heart into helping others, but just one wrong thing, you will become a sinner in their eyes.

In this life, there are some people, you help them a hundred times but they do not get a word of thanks. But just one time of not helping, they turn around and hate you. No matter how much effort you put in for others, what you get in return is not sincerity but only bitterness.

So remember:

1. As a human, it is okay to be generous, but you need to be generous with the right people - those who know how to repay gratitude, otherwise, your heart will be wasted.

2. As a human, it is okay to be kind, but you need to be kind to those who understand reason, otherwise you will waste your kindness.

3. As a human, it is okay to be tolerant, but you need to be tolerant with those who have a good heart and virtue, otherwise patience and endurance will become meaningless.

Otherwise, when we selflessly put effort into helping others, we will only receive hurt, even disaster.

4. As a human, being stupid is not a bad habit, not being deceitful is fine; not being smart is fine, not being evil is fine; being rich or poor is not a problem, as long as you know how to give.

Life is like a business, putting in effort but not necessarily getting the good results as expected.

5. As a person, being too kind will be bullied by others, treating others too well will one day be taken for granted; being too naive will be considered stupid by others, being too generous will be taken advantage of by others.

There have been many real stories that have proven this. In the world, there are always ungrateful people.

Therefore, in relationships between people, we need to be alert to identify the other person.

Making friends with a gentleman will benefit you for life, on the contrary, associating with a mean person, we will be dragged into a deep hole.

And once you are friends, treat each other kindly, respect each other, just that simple can build a lasting friendship!

In life, each of us has dreams and aspirations, including the desire to live, the desire to be loved by our loved ones, but unfortunately a disaster has come to me and my whole family, the whole family of 4, 3 people were swept away by the flood due to the landslide that natural disasters left in 2024, now I am alone, I survived after being rescued by the rescue team and taken to a safe place, the flood passed and swept away everything, swept away all the crops and everything I had, now I am alone, I have no direction, I don't know where to go and what to do when I am too young to be able to take care of myself at this age of still going to school
