What do you mean, asking God is easier than sending him?

There is a folk saying that "it is easier to ask God than to send him". The original intention is that you invited God to your home, and he should be grateful for your support. But over time, ordinary people are inevitably negligent.

If one day, your worship is ignored, the gods will do harm maliciously, which goes far beyond the problem of eating. Later it was extended to mean that it is easier to invite people home than to send them away. Don't ask some people and forces to help you unless you have to, for fear of getting into trouble again.

A typical example is that the Tang Dynasty invited ethnic minorities to Uighur to counter rebellion:

During the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, in order to quell the Anshi Rebellion and the Shi Siming Rebellion, the central government invited the Uighur army of the northern minorities to help quell the rebellion, but its own military strength was not enough. Seeing that China is profitable, ethnic minorities have also become eager to enjoy it. But when the rebels were put down, they didn't want to go back to the north.

Ask the Tang Dynasty for money, food, military expenses, women and so on. Because the Tang Dynasty was exhausted by the Anshi Rebellion, how could they meet so many unreasonable demands? As a result, the Uighur soldiers bloodbath Chang 'an again, killing less and robbing less, making the capital of the Tang Dynasty filthy, and the emperor had to flee again. In order to pacify the internal disaster, the Uighur soldiers outside were invited, and the result was different, that is, "it is easier to ask God than to send him."

Extended data

In today's society, for example, it is easier for God to send the refugees away than Germany's "throwing money":

On February 3rd, 20 17, the German Ministry of the Interior said that the German government would provide up to 3,000 euros (about RMB23,600) in economic assistance to those who failed to apply for asylum status if they voluntarily returned to their motherland.

According to the German Times Weekly, the Alliance Party reached an agreement on the refugee policy at the meeting of the top leaders of political parties in June+10, 5438, stipulating that Germany should accept no more than 200,000 refugees each year. In fact, Germany has accepted more than 1 10,000 refugees since 20 15. How to solve the problem of refugees far exceeding the planned number has become an urgent problem.

According to the report released by German R+V insurance company in September this year, the "three major fears" of Germans are almost all related to the refugee crisis, namely, terrorist attacks, violence and "the tense atmosphere caused by foreign immigrants".

According to the statistics 5438+0 1 released by the German Federal Criminal Investigation Bureau in June, in the first nine months of this year, refugee camps in Germany were attacked by far-right elements 2 1 1 times, including arson and other bad ways. There are 103 1 attacks in 20 15 years, and nearly a thousand attacks in 20 16 years. The anti-immigrant German Choice Party also won a lot of support in the general election in September.

Suente, a small village in northern Lower Saxony, Germany, has only 100 residents, but it has received more than 700 refugees at the request of the government. The villagers are very disgusted. When they heard many refugees criticize "German food is not delicious", it was even more difficult for several people to live together. An 80-year-old widowed man who asked not to be named told reporters angrily that she was not against refugees, but the government should have a "degree" and should take care of those in need at home first.

Not only the poor, but also many middle-class people have many complaints about Germany's refugee policy. Robert, an engineer living in Hanover, told reporters that dealing with the refugee crisis seems to be the top priority of the German government, but Germany's own problems have been put aside. For example, Germany's tax revenue is the second highest in Europe, many roads have not been repaired for decades, and primary and secondary school facilities are dilapidated. He believes that the income of Germans lags far behind that of the United States, Switzerland and other countries.

Robin Alexander, a reporter from the German newspaper Le Monde, published "Driven: Merkel and Refugee Policy-Report from the Inside of Power" in March this year, which quickly became the first best seller list. In the author's pen, "Merkel's refugee policy is not a masterpiece of love policy, but an accidental and expanding disaster."
