Combining selfishness and greed can hatch many harmful snakes that harm others.

In real life, people often have their own greed and selfishness, but some can control it.

However, some people are endlessly selfish and do outrageous things.

Recently, the neighbor’s son planned to get married. They had already bought a nice house together, with the girlfriend providing the money for the decoration. After the renovation was done, the younger sister-in-law insisted on moving in. This caused conflicts, leading to the girlfriend breaking up with the son.

Living together can lead to conflicts, so sometimes it’s best to keep a distance to avoid regrets later.

Taking Advantage Leads to Loss

In college, I had a roommate who always went shopping when not in class. I noticed that he would try on numerous clothes in each store without buying anything. He would then order clothes online with free return policies, wearing them for a few days before returning them.

One time, he bought an expensive outfit for a trip to Sanya but ended up losing it, having to pay for it.

Always wanting new things and trying to take advantage of situations can lead to losses. It’s better to live honestly and not harm others for personal gain.

Be Decisive as an Adult

As an adult, it’s important to have a good character. Being selfish and making unreasonable demands will harm oneself and others.

Moving into someone else’s marital home without consideration shows selfishness and lack of wisdom.

As a man, it’s crucial to have your own opinions and not just follow others blindly, especially when it comes to conflicts with your partner.

Distance Can Enhance Beauty

Sometimes distance can enhance beauty, as seen in relationships where living together causes conflicts.

As an adult, the younger sister-in-law should understand the importance of maintaining distance to avoid conflicts and respect the privacy of others.

Stand Firm and Maintain Distance

Maintaining distance can sometimes be beneficial. It’s essential for adults like the younger sister-in-law to recognize this and avoid interfering in others’ marriages.

Being a man means having your own opinions and not blindly following others, especially family members, as it can lead to complications in relationships.

Marriages can withstand conflicts between partners, but interference from a third party can make things worse.

The husband should stand firm and not let others disrupt the marriage for their own gain. It’s crucial to have a strong backbone to ensure a stable future.
