善求无果，反添新祸
好意成害，愈补愈裂

求神见鬼，道的是一场“好心办坏事”。
明明是想解困，却因方法有误、判断失准，让局势从“待修”变成“更乱”。
不是努力的问题，也不是心意的问题，而是方向错得离谱。
这种反转在生活中屡见不鲜：
越想圆场，越把矛盾放大；
越想补救，越把裂缝扯深；
越想帮忙，越让事情脱轨。
求神见鬼不是嘲讽，而是提醒–
错误的施力，比不施力更危险。
救援若用错了方向，就会成为新的灾祸。
愈修愈坏之时，便是求神见鬼。

Good intent, worse outcome
When the cure becomes the harm

(Poster / Calligraphy Artwork Placeholder)
Some failures return you to where you began; others carry you deeper into trouble. 求神见鬼 describes the latter – a well-meant effort that worsens the very problem it hoped to solve. You reach out for relief and end up summoning the opposite. The reversal is not just ironic; it is consequential. The remedy becomes the harm.
This proverb reveals a familiar human error: acting with sincerity but without clarity. The intention is kind yet the method misguided. Someone may rush to intervene, trust unreliable advice or attempt to “fix” something they do not fully understand. In such cases, the outcome doesn’t simply fall short; it backfires into damage.
A poorly chosen remedy can open a wound wider. 求神见鬼 reminds us that direction matters as much as intention. Help delivered in the wrong way often becomes its own form of trouble.
When a remedy worsens the wound, it is 求神见鬼.
Examples of Usage
• “I installed a ‘clean-up app’ to speed up my phone and it bricked the system. Total 求神见鬼.”
• “He tried to mediate the argument but misquoted both sides. 求神见鬼 – now the conflict is bigger.”
• “She poured chemicals on the stain to remove it and it spread twice as wide. A classic case of 求神见鬼.”
