[@chencullen4003]

A very interesting story. After reading it, I don’t hate snakes so much anymore.

[@hiitzcxlvezz]

same being born in year of the snake is cool!

[@ratkomilutinovic829]

Weird i never dislike them or hate. For me they are very interesting animals. They keep the balance or nature. Real Predators. 😊

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

Snakes should not be as vicious as people think.

[@pitifuleternal]

Snakes aren't vicious or evil by nature. They're actually really peaceful animals; It's just about how they're represented in media (I.e: Anaconda, the film) They'd much rather leave you alone

[@chinahighlights1]

People have all sorts of opinions about snakes. Some feel fear and disgust, while others show respect and even worship. Many people get scared when they see a snake for the first time, which might come from our natural survival instincts.

[@jeffkarin7894]

Being myself a snake in the chinese zodiac ( Golden/Metal snake-2001) I can totally understand and relate to the snake. I struggled throughout my life while trying to understand why such isolation from other people took place, and much like the snake, whenever I feel hate and resentment in my heart, immediately I get into a path of self-awareness to understand what led me there. Every and each time it happens, something changes in my life for the better like how the snake sheds it's skin to grow larger and stronger. I find it fascinating how much I actually relate to my chinese zodiac sign. The only point of difference I can see with the snake is that, although the venom and isolation, the snake didn't understand at the right time, it's neither your fault nor anyone else's fault that the world and it's people are acting wihtout explanation. Every person around tries to feel sentimentally superior to someone else, thus trying to render other persons as somehow "evil" in it's mind, under whichever extensive perception it gives to the word "evil". Snake should have only acted on revenge upon people that actually hurt it and not the entire world and after justice had been served, it should've acted on behalf of it's morals, never closing the door to someone that actually wanted to become part of it's life. I never knew what was snake's story, it was really hard to find anywhere I looked on, thanks for the insight. It has a really tragic story and although that it was the most wronged, it never became empathetic resulting on it wronging others.

[@chinahighlights1]

First of all, thank you for sharing such a deep and personal experience. Your understanding and connection with the Chinese zodiac snake show that you've done some serious self-exploration. Regarding the snake's experiences in the Chinese zodiac stories, it's true that many traditional tales have tragic elements, but they also offer valuable lessons. Just like a snake sheds its skin to be reborn, we should also grow through reflection and learning.

[@cyane]

this is spot on - another golden snake here - an amount of nearly unlimited hatred and a sense of revenge is only reserved for very few people that have wronged me in the past and like a real snake i wait for the right moment to backstab them in an irreparable amount of damage (not death but suffering), otherwise i genuinely love humans around me and open myself quickly to new people i meet but i am very ambitious and even sometimes too greedy which ruins it again, but at the end we both look back, learn and win in life - one way or another - especially after going through prolonged very dark times, the return is even brighter - that’s what i planted in my mind and nothing can change that. we are born leaders.

the lesson here is not to take other's reactions personally. Even if one is intimating or not aesthetically pleasing, act from your own heart, and your actions will ring true to those who are meant to be by your side. Like many I too used to loathe snakes, not anymore. 🐍

[@phoenixrose6608]

[@VelhaGuardaTricolor]

The original legend says otherwise. The way the snake got to 6th place was by hitchhiking unnoticed on the horse and then scaring him before the finish line to steal 6th place from the horse who then finished 7th.

[@ceciliapeng8518]

[@sooo_7434]

I was born under the sign of the snake...I'm not really interested in finding new friends, I'm more of a person :)! What's also true is that the problems and difficulties that have determined my path have allowed me to grow and mature and that has enabled me to reflect. I think everyone born under the snake experiences these difficulties, but as snakes are, they shed their skin and grow from it. I wish everyone born under the snake a good and lucky year 🐍🎊

[@jamiefoyers2800]

I like the mix of the frogs and the snakes. Away from the Chinese myths surrounding the snake it is interesting to note that Egyptians thought of snakes as a more feminine symbol and frog as a male. Always fascinating to read other cultures perspective on nature and how it intertwines with the human world.

Happy Chinese New Year! Happy Spring Festival! The Chinese calendar is nongli, which is calculated based on China's longitude and latitude as well as Chinese history. It is a unique set of dates that changes every year. Other countries can only have the same day as China by using the Chinese calendar. Otherwise, there will be deviations. Any celebration using the Chinese calendar is the Chinese New Year, which can also be called chunjie. All those who celebrate this festival can refer to it as chunjie or the spring festival. For all who want to celebrate Lunar New Year, please celebrate on June, 27, 2025. But Jan 29 is the Chines New Year.

[@chinahighlights1]

Everyone has their own hopes and feelings about the new year, and I get that you might feel like every year is pretty much the same. But each zodiac year, including the upcoming Year of the Snake, comes with fresh opportunities and chances to grow. In Chinese culture, snakes represent wisdom, intuition, and transformation. It's a great time to look back on the past and plan for the future.

[@my-handle-on-things]

Theres no lesson here. The snake was harshly judged based on his looks over and over again, despite just wanting friends. When he finally gave up on the idea of friends ! And stood up for itself, it was punished then teased with a reward he had no chance of winning. The snake was done dirty in ths one

Which is more poisonous and cunning? A male snake or a female snake? Maybe, only the constrictor 'ANAKCONDIA!'

[@chinahighlights1]

Neither male nor female snakes are inherently more venomous or "cunning" than the other. And while anacondas are formidable creatures, they are not venomous, so they should not be included in a comparison of venom potency. If you're interested in the most venomous snakes, species like the Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) from Australia are considered to have the most toxic venom of any snake.
