Very often, even in modern vocabulary, weWe hear the old and hackneyed proverb: “We are not looking for good from the good”. Many times many people use it in conversation, it often flashes on forums and websites. Naturally, it can be found in classical literature, in verses and prose, as well as in the wise sayings of famous generals, rulers, artists, etc. But oddly enough, each person puts his meaning into these words, and it turns out that the single meaning they don't have ...
First meaning more common
According to numerous dictionaries,encyclopedias and other more or less reliable sources, the meaning of the words “they are not looking for good” is as follows. If a person has received something in his life for nothing, something that made him richer, happier, better or more fortunate, he should not demand more. According to these words, everyone who receives such “heavenly manna” must accept it, be grateful for this gift, and seek nothing more in this world. However, if you think about this interpretation, it becomes clear that to achieve more, having such a “free” gift, you can still, but in this case you will have to make work and efforts, since further victories will be the result of your efforts. However, it should be remembered that this interpretation is unofficial, and of course, along with it, there are others that we will learn about right now.
The essence of the second, acceptable to many people.
Now consider in a very different light the expression“They do not seek well from good”. Its meaning lies in the fact that if you once did good to another person, you should not expect a reciprocal step on his part. That is, if someone ventures on beneficence, then he must be prepared for the fact that he will have to work “for so”, and most often people will not appreciate this work, but will be taken for granted. In support of this theory, you can also recall another quote that Omar Khayyam once wrote in one of his poems: “One will not understand what roses smell like, another will extract honey from bitter herbs, give bread to one — he will remember forever, sacrifice life to another ". Based on this, we can conclude that the given meaning of these words depends entirely on the person to whom you do this very good.
The third meaning of ancient wisdom
Often people also interpret the words "from good to goodDo not look for "a little differently. It is believed that if a person already lives in prosperity, he is happy and has everything that can provide him a decent life, he will not move to another place, look for something new, try himself in a new role. However, this meaning also needs to be interpreted ambiguously. People are different, and there are those who can be assigned to one place. And there are individuals who prefer to constantly travel, learn something new and unknown.
Book written based on wise words
Writer Cyrus Fillipova has created an interestingfantastic comedy, which is called "From the princesses are not looking for good." In this bestseller, of course, the meaning of the title is very clear and can be seen throughout all the chapters. The fact is that the main character - a princess, is able to trick and fight werewolves, vampires, necromancers and other vermin just for the sake of her own fun. Despite this "darkness", the novel is very interesting, and you can read it avidly.
