"The wolf's feet are fed": the meaning of phraseology and examples

Believe it or not, but the main character of the proverb "the wolf's feet feed" is the hero of our time. Do not believe me? Then we invite you to an exciting journey, which promises not only a rise in the level of literacy, but also a confirmation of the thesis put forward.

History

The original history of the origin of phraseology was not found, but the wisdom of the people is not so many sources, if we do not touch the pearls of individual people who earn their living by doing this kind of craft. Speech, of course, about writers. So, if you do not touch them, then folk wisdom is mainly fed by everyday observations of ordinary people. We admit that there were different aphorisms in this respect, but time chose the best for us. So, it is likely that the proverb "the wolf's feet feed" came into the language from the hunter's craft.

A wolf is a predator who eats small bunnies and not only, but the coefficient of utility of his labor depends on the speed of reaction of the beast and the agility of the animal's paws.

The image of a wolf in Russian culture can not be determined from the moral point of view as good or definitely bad. "Sanitary forests" can be completely different, depending on the context in which it is placed. For example, when a person looks at a wolf - it's bad, and when someone has a wolfish appetite - it's good.

Value

The wolf is remembered when a person is not very smart and hardworking, and his profession, on the contrary, presupposes activity. Lawyers, journalists, lawyers, photographers - they all have to constantly look for something to feed themselves, as well as a wolf hare. Therefore, they can be "attached" to the expression "the wolf's feet feed," its meaning is clear: "How to swim, and you can break it." Speaking more modern and recognizable language: "The standard of living depends on the activity, professional status and demand in the market."

"If you want to live - be able to turn around"

Many of us are now "wolves". People scour around and everywhere in search of opportunities. They want more money, better a car / apartment / dacha. Men and women are concerned about their modernity and relevance in the labor market, for it is on this basis that their level of existence depends. One curious observation: now the level of material comfort is tightly connected to those, how much a person does not like psychological comfort.

Imagine a person working in a newspaper as a staff member, earns little, but he suffices. And around the younger and ambitious (a word that rapidly changes its sign from "minus" to "plus"), they tell him to move, look for opportunities, otherwise it can be spent all his life in this swamp. In other words, "The Wolf feeds the legs," they say. But the hero and so well. And do you think he will succeed? Never. But perhaps for him it is not the main thing.

In addition to the phrase from the 90's, when all with a terrible force rotated and turned, how else can you replace the phraseology? Consider the options:

• Without difficulty you will not pull out the fish from the pond;
• patience and a little effort;
• a rolling stone gathers no moss;
• That he has worked, he ate;
• Without study and labor, food will not come on the table;

Do you feel like you are filled with awe? And remember your feelings when they tell you that someone is working hard. At once, even if you do not know a person, you fill it with inexplicable respect.

A man almost unconsciously respects work and is ashamed of his "cool life", but not now. The Internet has opened wide opportunities for those who want to earn and have fun at the same time.

The reader now will think that proverbs and sayings from the peasant environment are already outdated, but he is mistaken. If people are entertained 24 hours a day and constantly think about the opinion of the environment, is not it katorga? No, no, the wolf's legs are still feeding. Only labor has seriously changed since then.

"Wolf" professions

They have already been partially announced. Rest only dreams:

• Journalists;
• Detectives;
• Photographers;
• Lawyers;
• People engaged in the advertising business;
• Artists, actors, show business figures.

Of course, people are restless now much more than listed on the list. Almost there are those who are satisfied with their lot. Many want more, and the story of the zone of comfort and compulsive withdrawal from it has become a favorite subject in general, which permeates almost all segments of the population, excluding the poorest, because they never even felt this comfort.

However, when a person chooses his own way in life, he must evenly understand his strengths and weaknesses. He is ready to take on the role of a predator or not. Now he knows what it means "the wolf feeds the legs", so it can include this acquisition in the circle of reflection. It is important not to miss in one of the most significant elections in life.

But there is another option

Of course, it is not necessary to be all those who are listed above. You can, for example, choose a path of writing that does not make you sweat so much. But everything is relative and depends on the specifics. For example, Ray Bradreiri's main source of inspiration is his unconscious. As he himself admits in the book "Zen in the art of writing books," the writer never went anywhere specifically, did not "absorb impressions", then to write a novel or a story, everything happened by itself. Some memories gave creative shoots only in twenty years.

But do not delude yourself, there are documentary writers or authors of production novels, for example, Arthur Haley, who, before writing a novel, worked in a certain field to achieve greater naturalism. But do not think that the author worked, for example, at the airport before retirement, no, he does not need it. The author of the "Hotel" lasted two weeks. And how can we not remember our proverb.

In fact, no choice of profession really exists. A person develops, grows, clever, looks for and eventually stumbles upon something that is more interesting to him and more or less allows him to live. Someone is richer, someone is poorer, it's not so important.

Of course, there are those who are not interested in anything but money, but that's another story. Our task is fulfilled.
