Meanings of elements

PERSON and CHANGED STATE
…or: PERSONS TWO

「Person with a changed state」from natural animalistic instincts may become BENEVOLENT rather than innately malevolent and selfish…and for that to be sincere, the benevolence must emanate from the person's essential KERNEL, or CORE being. Elements of「persons two」and to remain together that way, both must be BENEVOLENT, KIND to one another deep down to their KERNEL, or CORE being. It is easiest to have a heart-to-heart talk between「two persons」(and not before a group). Two people being VIRTUOUS toward one another in a BENEVOLENT and HUMANE manner.
　Undeniably, like it or not from one's personal perspective,「two head sliding rods」together is also suggestive of an increased degree of KINDNESS shown to another that may permeate to one's core, noting that homosexual and/or autoerotic behavior of both males and females sliding rods together in dynastic China was considered by all to be HUMANE and not sinful, as it pertains to the natural behavior of humans (that is,「human nature」as it is), at least until the Christians arrived. If two can perform rod head sliding together, however someone else sees that action, it must be admitted that those two share feelings deep down to their KERNEL, or CORE being of HUMANITY. Moreover, in the era of the spread of the coronavirus, such mutual core benevolence is once again encouraged by medical health professionals as the safest form of sex: the past may not repeat itself, but it surely does rhyme as what is considered to be HUMANE BEHAVIOR,「changing state with rod head sliding.」

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. 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! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. 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 bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only 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 dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
