Glyph elements [ Toggle Font ]
Nevertheless, a more detailed look at the elements reveal another meaning: top element was formerly two「penis」glyphs side-by-side cooperating, with「emissions」below to denote orgiastic behavior in some sense…lower element is identical to 心 as an appendage spewing venom, but one that is not yet bent and curled due to internal urethral scarring that results from sexually transmitted infections, hence reveals「moral intent.」Perhaps in in old days, if someone could attend orgies and remain infection-free, he would deservedly be VENERATED, REVERENCED, and be given the GREATEST RESPECT (because the gods had never opted to 'curse him with disease' for some reason).
Note however, that「piles with deep feeling」can also refer to EXCRUCIATING DEFECATION (see Chinese usage as 出恭 to defecate. 小恭 urine. 大恭 excrement, feces), and HEMORRHOIDS also will engender deep feelings of the GREATEST RESPECT due to some exquisite pain, as anyone with piles can attest, a truly HUMBLING CONDITION as the afflicted individual openly acknowledges complete helplessness, often begging for mercy to all the gods for some sort of pain relief accompanied by weeping and gnashing of teeth, giving anyone instant religion and the appearance of godly VENERATION, REVERENCE—not a joke—some say nothing in human existence is more painful: internal hemorrhoids are the veins inside one's anal canal becoming swollen to the point of blocking the passage of feces, with corresponding bleeding, mucus discharge, and pain so intense that the sufferer is completely paralyzed in agony, no work, no sitting down, no ability to think about anything other than the anus.
REVERENCE for the power to utterly subdue a human being does not necessitate an almighty deity, and may be described as the pressure of one's society to conform to the「communal morality.」…the same commune morality that caused the piles in the first place.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment
(see 籒 for that),
representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created.
If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system!
Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles?
Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today.
Sex had no shame in ancient China.
Why would it?
But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?
No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else.
This site describes glyph meanings, not people.
These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect.
The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language?
(More...)
Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better?
Or could they have been worse?
By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs,
you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon.
This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
