There are forgotten proverbs and sayings, but this does not apply to our topic today. We will consider one very common phraseological meaning. “From Fire to Flames” - why do people still use this idiom? We will explain the meaning and choose an example that is clear and close to the heart of the reader.
Value
"From the fire to the fire": why do we say that? If you imagine that a person from one fire immediately falls into another, you can understand: such a situation does not bode well. Because the old Russian word “ flame” is “flame”, “fire”, and not “wormwood”, as some people think.
For example, a person can cope with one problem, and another immediately falls on him, and it sometimes happens that trouble does not come alone, that is, sorrows come in a snowball. And so the proverbs, in modern terms, have a rather pessimistic meaning. “From the fire to the fire” - all that remains for us is to sympathize with the person who has fallen into the black stripe. However, we need an example that is simple and straightforward.
One after another misfortune falls on the student
Imagine a boy who wrote off a solution to a problem from a neighbor in a math test. And since the rest of the class was crystal clear, the suspicion immediately fell on two students. One of them was an excellent student, but the other interrupted from two to three. Therefore, the teacher’s sentence was strict. We went to the principal, who asked the boy to tell his parents that they were expected at school. Meanwhile, the father warned that if he was again called to school, then the miserable schoolboy would definitely taste the belt. And here comes our hero home.
He opens the door of the apartment, and there his parents with mournful faces inform him that his dear Rex (his beloved shepherd) was hospitalized in the nearest veterinary clinic with suspicion of a strong departure.
There is little good in all of this, but the situation can be fully illustrated by the words “from fire to fire”. Phraseologism does not tune in a positive way, and yet you can finish the story on a major note. Against the background of the misfortune with the dog, the parents took the news about the call to school calmly and did not even scold the guy. It is understandable, the main thing is that Rex get better.
How to resist the blows of fate?
If phraseologism “from fire to fire” captures the severity of human life, then the question of how to exist in such difficult and difficult conditions is quite natural.
If misfortunes are poured onto a person one by one, and he is not able to stop this flow, he should learn from the sorrows of his life. After all, unpleasant circumstances, as a rule, are the result of human errors. If the schoolchildren studied mathematics better, he would not have to disturb the teacher, principal and parents. As for those hardships that are not subject to man, then you just need to put up with them and be courageous, because when life puts a person on the bandwagon, it experiences it, and this strength test must be passed with honor.
That is the meaning of the saying. “From the fire to the fire” may not sound very joyful, but you should always remember: after dark night, dawn will definitely come.
