不惧色，天道必报：三大恶行，超越细菌之害

Fearless in the face of adversity, the laws of heaven will surely avenge: The three great vices, worse than the harm of bacteria.

1. 在水浒传中，落魄潦倒的穷书生张文远，得到了宋江的救助和举荐，到县衙担任书办，算是找到了一个铁饭碗，前程也非常可期。

1. In the Water Margin, the destitute scholar Zhang Wen Yuan, who was down on his luck, received assistance and recommendation from Song Jiang. He was appointed as a scribe in the county government, which was considered to be a stable job with great prospects for the future.

2. 中医认为，肾精为先天之本，经常放纵自己，必然导致肾精枯竭，精气神缺乏，气血亏虚，身体缺乏必要的营养加持，精神缺乏必需的神魂固守，五脏六腑的循环系统都会受到影响和破坏，抵挡疾病的卫气也会崩溃，各种重特大疾病就会接踵而至。

2. According to traditional Chinese medicine, kidney essence is the foundation of one's congenital endowment. Regular indulgence in oneself will inevitably lead to the depletion of kidney essence, resulting in a lack of vital energy and spirit, deficiencies in Qi and blood, and the body lacking the necessary nutritional support. The spirit will also lack the essential stability of the soul, and the circulation system of the five internal organs and six bowels will be affected and damaged. The protective Qi against diseases will also collapse, and a variety of severe and major diseases will follow one after another.

3. 莫贪一时乐，修德保清贤。

On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, taking cover from the fireworks and firecrackers, he broke into the lover's house with an assault rifle and killed the lover's entire family, including the lover himself.

7. 生活中有很多人，原本才华横溢，抱负远大，或者做得大生意，但因为女人大败亏输。或者做得大官，但因为男女作风问题而误入歧途。

7. There are many people in life who, originally talented and ambitious, or successful in doing big businesses, have suffered big losses because of women. Or those who hold high positions in the government, but have gone astray because of their inappropriate behavior involving both men and women.

8. 有一条天道定律，叫做乐极生悲。一个人痛快到了极点，接下来就会有悲伤的事情发生。人类可以感知到的最富刺激的快乐就是贪欢纵欲，如果不加节制，肆意妄为，将是生命的一场灾难。

8. There is a natural law of the universe known as "extreme joy leading to sorrow." When a person is overjoyed to the extreme, sad events are bound to follow. The most stimulating and enjoyable pleasure that humans can perceive is indulgence in pleasure without restraint, which, if left unchecked, can be a disaster for one's life.

9. 但张文远看到宋江包养的女人阎婆惜妩媚动人，心生歹意，欲火焚身，完全不顾及宋江的体面和恩情，和阎婆惜成为床上伴侣。

17. Understanding the importance of moderation in sexual activity, and knowing when to stop, is essential for maintaining the balance of one's physical energy and ensuring the normal operation of the life system.

18. 《戒色警言》 有诗：

18. "Jie Se Jing Yan" (The戒色警言Warning Against Indulging in Impure Thoughts) contains a poem:

19. 一个人的精力是有限的，你脑子里成天想着男欢女爱，行为上只想去勾搭异性，你怎么可能安心工作，专注事业，追求梦想？

19. A person's energy is limited. If all day you are thinking about romantic love and only want to flirt with the opposite sex, how can you possibly focus on your work, concentrate on your career, and pursue your dreams?

20. 你看见帅男美女，意乱情迷，神魂颠倒，欲罢不能，殊不知，这其实是慢性毒药，会掏空你的身体，消耗你的元气，让你的生命能量走向枯竭，最后大病缠身，气息奄奄。

22. If a person does not understand the importance of temperance in matters of desire and keeps on indulging in unrestrained pleasures, the universe will punish them, and their life will certainly be filled with bitterness.
