Another example is the clothes that a husband buys for his wife. The color and style may not conform to the wife's psychology, but in order not to disappoint her husband, the wife deliberately said she liked it. If the wife tells the truth and both of them are unhappy, the husband will feel embarrassed. Lies can avoid unpleasant feelings and make the relationship between husband and wife full of romance and warmth.
There are more examples of lifesaving lies. On August 2, last year, the Wenlian Coal Mine in Louxia Town, Pu 'an County was flooded, and Xiao Hongyang Tongshun and others were working underground. Ten minutes later, the flood flooded the roadway and ceiling, and the way out was blocked. After that, they were forced to a platform one meter high and three meters wide above the roadway, and the water level was still rising, which was extremely critical.
The four of them divided into two groups and took turns to dig the coal ash above the platform. In two days, they dug up two steps more than one meter high. They didn't eat for three or four days when they ran out of ammunition and food. Hunger, cold, fear and despair came together. In order to inspire everyone to fight against impending death in despair, Hong Xiao tamed it again and again? Hui luhao? Whoever can hold on will get out alive.
On the fourth day, someone had collapsed in the tunnel in thin air, but at this moment, the water level really dropped. The four of them felt an opportunity to escape and climbed to the wellhead step by step. At this time, the nine pumps at the wellhead are draining around the clock. Inoue people thought that the four of them had no hope of survival, but they didn't expect to win the final victory in the struggle with death.
Another example is that an American transport plane was forced to land in the desert in the last century, but the plane was seriously damaged and could not resume taking off. Communication equipment was also destroyed and communication with the outside world was interrupted. Nine passengers and a driver fell into despair; Their instinct for survival makes them fight for limited dry food and water.
At a critical moment, a passenger on an airplane stepped forward temporarily and said, "Don't panic, I'm an airplane designer. As long as everyone Qi Xin works together to listen to my command, the plane can be repaired. " It's like a shot in the arm, which has stabilized everyone's mood. They consciously save water and dry food. Everything is in good order, and everyone is United in fighting against the sandstorm.
Ten days have passed and the plane has not been repaired; However, a caravan passing through the desert saved them. A few days later, it was discovered that the temporary passenger was not an airplane designer at all. He is a primary school teacher and knows nothing about airplanes. Someone called him a liar after knowing the truth and asked him angrily: everyone's life is almost gone. How dare you cheat us? The teacher said: If I hadn't lied, would everyone still be alive now?
< Li Yu Yang recorded a story that he lost his life because he broke his promise >;
A businessman in Jiyang sank while crossing the river. He grabbed a hemp pole and shouted for help. A fisherman heard the sound. The businessman quickly shouted: "I am the richest man in Jiyang. If you can save me, I will give you 100 two gold. " . After being rescued ashore, the businessman turned his face and refused to admit it. He only gave the fisherman 10 two gold. The fisherman accused him of breaking his word and going back on his word. The rich man said, "You are a fisherman. I can't make much money in my life. Is it not enough to suddenly get twelve taels of gold? " My husband must be very unhappy. Unexpectedly, the rich man capsized in the same place again. Someone tried to save him, and the person he cheated said, "He is a man of his word!" " "So the merchant drowned. It is accidental that the businessman capsized twice and met the same husband, but it is expected that the businessman will not be rewarded. Because if a person does not keep his word, he will lose the trust of others. So, once he is in trouble, no one wants to rescue him. Those who break their promises to others, once in trouble, have to sit still.
& lt lyu3 bu4' s "a promise as good as a promise" saved his life >
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Ji Bu. He kept his word and had a very high reputation. Many people have established a strong friendship with him. At that time, there was even a proverb: "It is better to get a hundred pounds of gold than to keep a promise." (This is the origin of the idiom "A promise is as good as a gold") Later, he offended Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu, and was offered a reward for his capture. As a result, his old friends not only were not confused by the heavy money, but also risked the extinction of Jiuzu to protect him from disaster. A person who is honest and trustworthy will naturally get a lot of help and gain everyone's respect and friendship. On the other hand, if you covet temporary comfort or petty advantages and lose trust in your friends, you will get "benefits" on the surface. But for this benefit, he ruined his reputation, which is much more important than material things. Therefore, breaking a promise to a friend is tantamount to losing a watermelon and picking up sesame seeds, which is not worth the loss.
In the early years, few foreigners set foot in the southern foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal. Later, many Japanese people came here for sightseeing, which is said to be because of the honesty of a teenager.
One day, several Japanese photographers invited a local teenager to buy beer, and the teenager ran for more than three hours.
The next day, the boy offered to buy them beer. The photographers gave him a lot of money this time, but the boy didn't come back until the afternoon of the third day. As a result, photographers talked about it and thought that the boy cheated the money away. On the third night, the boy knocked on the photographer's door. It turned out that he only bought four bottles of beer in one place, so he climbed a mountain, crossed a river, bought six more bottles, and broke three bottles when he came back. He took the broken glass in tears and returned the change to the photographer. All the people present were moved. This story deeply touched many foreigners. Later, more and more tourists came here.
In the riverside park in new york, there is a monument to the soldiers killed in the Civil War, and many tourists come to pay homage to the dead every year. General Grant's grave is located in the north of the park. He was the 18 th president of the United States and the commander-in-chief of the Union Army during the Civil War. The mausoleum is tall, majestic, solemn and simple. There is a large green lawn behind the mausoleum, which extends to the boundary of the park and the edge of the steep cliff.
Behind General Grant's mausoleum, closer to the cliff, there is also a children's mausoleum. This is a tiny and ordinary grave, and you may ignore it anywhere else. Like most American graves, it has only a small tombstone. On the tombstone and nearby're signs, there is a touching story about honesty:
The story happened on 1797 more than 200 years ago. This year, when the little owner of this land was five years old, he accidentally fell off the cliff here and died. His father was heartbroken and buried him here and built such a small mausoleum as a souvenir. A few years later, family fortune fell and the old owner had to transfer the land. Out of love for his son, he made a strange request to the future landowner. He asked the new owner to take the child's mausoleum as a part of the land and never destroy it. The new owner agreed and wrote this condition into the contract. In this way, the child's mausoleum was preserved.
Times have changed, and a hundred years have passed. I don't know how many times this land has been sold or how many owners have changed. The child's name has long been forgotten by the world, but the child's tomb is still there. According to one sales contract after another, it was completely preserved. 1897, this land of geomantic omen was chosen as the cemetery of General Grant. The government became the owner of this land, and the tomb of the Unknown Son was preserved intact in the hands of the government and became the neighbor of Grant General Cemetery. The grave adjacent to the grave of a great historical creator and the grave of an unknown child may be a unique miracle in the world.
One hundred years later, 1997, in memory of General Grant, Giuliani, then mayor of new york, came here. It happened to be the centenary of the establishment of General Grant's mausoleum and the bicentennial of the child's death. Mayor Giuliani personally wrote this touching story and carved it on the wooden sign, standing next to the tomb of nobody, so that this honest story can be passed down from generation to generation. ...
