‘Atasözleri anlamları’ Etiketli başlıklar

Aç, yemek yeme ihtiyacı olan, yemesi gereken kimsedir. Bu insanın düşüncesi de karnını doyurmaktır. Onun bu isteği kimi özürlerle giderilip geçiştirilemez, böyle yapılmak istenirse kimi anlamsız ve aşırı davranışlara kaymasına neden olunur. Çocuklar da bir şey istediler mi hemen onun yerine getirilmesini isterler, beklemek nedir bilmezler.

Onur kırıcı, sert, kötü sözler insanı öfkelendirir; sabrını taşırır, çileden çıkarır, hoş olmayan davranışlara sürükler. Bunun aksine yumuşak, tatlı, hoş sözler de öfkeli, geçimsiz, saldırgan insanları yatıştırabilir; zarar vermelerinin önüne geçip onları doğru yola sokabilir.

Kötü durumda olan bir kimseyi, ortaya çıkacak yeni kötü durumlar etkilemez; pek çok zorluğa katlanabilir; çünkü o, böylesi kötü durumlara alışmıştır. Ayrıca, işe yaramayacak hâle gelmiş kimseler de, tutar bir yanları olmadığı için felâketlerden çekinmezler.
