Meanings of elements

INDULGENT WITHOUT RESTRAINT, ABANDON ONESELF TO CARNAL DESIRE, TO BE DISSOLUTE DEBAUCHED, FORGET ABOUT IT, DELAYED in CAVE OF WONDER, WIDESPREAD BEHAVIOR OF HUMANS, PALMING ERECTION
…or: DEEP FEELING, ROD EMISSIONS with HEALTH PRACTICES, HEALTHY, TAKING IT EASY, AT PEACE, REFRACTORY, RESTING, RECUPERATING

Perhaps given external meanings are contradictory, but not necessarily so…giving away all your stuff since you know that you will soon die? GENEROUS in English formerly referred to a highborn aristocrat who was somewhat philanthropic, and MAGNANIMOUS means great soul, big life actions, ARDENT a hot feeling or passion:「deep feeling of menial slave in cave」could certainly apply to GRIEVING and WEEPING, but not to「healthy rod emissions.」…yet, if a highborn lord generated healthy rod emissions with great action of hot passion with a menial slave who was grieving, perhaps everyone would feel a little bit better and the slave's lot in life may improve some. Alternatively, living a life of「indulgence without restraint abandoned to carnal desires and debauchery, forgetting about everything else」may soon lead to WEEPING and GRIEVING as poverty and sexually transmitted diseases creep into the picture. Needless to point out perhaps are these elements individually also as「rod emissions palming erection with bougie reaming end-to-end and sticky viscous fluids discharging」as WEEPING, GRIEF. Therefore, glyph may depict two stages in life: the first as living life in the fast lane, the second as reaping the consequences.

Chinese: generous; magnanimous
Japanese EDRDG: weep, grieve
Unihan extended: ardent; generous, magnanimous

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.
