There are not enough stars from the sky. Sentences with the phrase “there are not enough stars in the sky”
There is a wonderful and universal phrase “you can’t grab the stars from the sky.” We will analyze the meaning of phraseological units using available examples.
The stars are so close, but you can’t reach them with your hand
Considered with some grace, quite offensive to the addressee. He says that a person, in general, is nothing outstanding, but a very average example of his species.
Even though movies and books are built around charismatic protagonists, they are full of completely ordinary and unremarkable people. A relatively recent example is the Harry Potter series of books. On the one hand, they have Harry, the fact of whose existence already has something legendary, and on the other hand, Ron Weasley. The latter definitely doesn’t have enough stars from the sky (the meaning of the phraseological unit is clarified by the example of popular characters). By the way, at the end of the story it cannot be said that Harry and Ron achieved something outstanding. Although the entire wizarding world believes that Harry, of course, will take the chair of Minister of Magic in due time.
People far from the stars
Let's start from afar. Now the stars as celestial bodies no longer seem such a mystery. Science is rapidly disenchanting the world, that is, there is less and less mystery left in it. But the stars still attract people. They act as a symbol of transcendence.
Of course, this is reflected in the language. Remember who are called stars? Those who achieved something special lived their lives more richly than others. Although it is written in the Tao Te Ching that the lower ones are the support of the higher ones, people still yearn to be among the second, and not the first.
Let's give an example. This is, in a sense, the era of offices. People come to work and work indoors for 8 hours operating a computer. The attitude towards office employees is twofold: on the one hand, everyone who is not too lazy mocks them, and on the other hand, many of those who mocked this kind of work themselves land in the office after long ordeals and bitter days of unemployment.
So, the one who manages to escape from the yoke of meaningless and merciless labor into some large holding company as a microorganism is already considered a hero. The same people who stay in the office often believe that they don’t have enough stars from the sky (the meaning of the phraseological unit is gradually becoming clearer).
Things that are not destined to become stars
The universality of this turn of phrase is that one can state distance from the stars not only in relation to people, but also in relation to things. For example, this brand of car (the reader can substitute it himself) will not grab a star from the sky, i.e. won't be too popular.
It’s another matter if any thing is produced with an eye on “non-star” people. In this case, it is clear that she does not have enough stars from the sky (the meaning of the phraseological unit was defined a little earlier).
How to come to terms with mediocrity?
Life, unfortunately, is not a fairy tale. Each of the people in his youth dreams of many things, approaching the threshold of middle age, the ordinary person usually examines what remains of his grandiose plans, if there is anything left of them, and states the sad fact - he has achieved little in life. In show business, others dance; it is not he who moves history. The question arises of how to accept the meaning implied by the phraseological unit - “stars from the sky are not destined to be grabbed.”
This is probably called a midlife crisis. What can I say, even the most talented people were once told: “Sorry, old man, but you’re ordinary, you don’t suit us,” but they kept going and came somewhere. The main thing here is not to stop developing. Life is a road with a lot of different surprises. You just need to give her a chance to show her unpredictable nature.
You need to strive for the stars, even if you are told in different words what the main character of our article expresses - phraseological units. You still have to try to grab stars from the sky, but what if it works? Nobody knows everything about the world and life, especially the people around you.
