「生于忧患而死于安乐也。」 ——《孟子·告子下》
— Mencius, Gaozi Xia
📖 释义 Annotation
「生于忧患死于安乐」是孟子最深刻的警示。忧患使人生存，安乐使人灭亡。孟子列举了舜、傅说、管仲等圣贤都是从困境中崛起的例子。这不是歌颂苦难，而是提醒人们不要被安逸所麻痹。
'Born in adversity, perish in comfort' is Mencius's most profound warning. Adversity promotes survival; comfort leads to decline. This is not celebrating hardship but warning against complacency.
💡 当代启示 Modern Application
在顺境中保持危机感，在逆境中保持希望——最危险的时刻，往往是最舒适的时刻。
Maintain crisis awareness in prosperity and hope in adversity — the most dangerous moment is often the most comfortable.
