Too much is bad!

He exercises every day to the point of addiction, to an excessive level, regardless of the laws of age. At nearly 60 years old, he still runs 10km a day, then swims, does push-ups, pull-ups, parallel bars… all sorts of things, he exercises whenever he has a chance. Sunny days and rainy days. Whenever it’s time to exercise, he wiggles his limbs, luckily he is a freelancer so his schedule is quite flexible. His friends admire his toned, youthful body and call him the Ronaldo of the Old Quarter.

Until one day, his heel started to hurt, at first it was just a slight pain but then it gradually increased to an unbearable pain. The doctor told him that he had heel spurs and had to rest for a long time. At first, he didn't listen and tried to run with a limp but then had to give up halfway through that day. So he was forced to get used to staying at home for a long time. In the misfortune, there was a silver lining, he learned to be more patient, less angry and more accepting.

The neighbor has a round face, a plump body, is kind and so kind that it is hard to find someone better. Whoever asks for help, she helps, even stands in their name, borrows money for others to buy a house... Once, she mistakenly helped a bad guy and was scammed out of a lot of money, but she still did not feel sad. "Gifts go to replace people" is what the elders taught, and besides, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. But when she encountered the next scam, it was too serious, it made her have to sell her car to pay off the debt, then her husband sighed and said: The ancients never said wrong: "Water that is too clear has no fish, people that are too kind have no friends". Kindness must also be given to the right place, otherwise it will bring disaster.

On a cool autumn day, the neighbor couple invited him over for a drinking party to strengthen their neighborly relationship. He brought a bottle of dark purple Ba Kich wine to join in the fun. The drinking party included a delicious braised snakehead fish dish cooked by his wife, which made him praise it so much that he didn't notice his husband's foot kicking him repeatedly. When seeing the guests off, the husband went to the door with a long face and said that he praised my wife for cooking that delicious dish, that she made it for me to eat all week. It was so hard, she couldn't remember the saying "Too much is not enough".
