Meaning of He who seeks finds (What is, Concept and Definition)

What is He who seeks finds:

The saying “he who seeks finds” applies to imply that whoever puts on his part, manages to find some result.In this sense, the saying underlines the importance of effort, which it recognizes as a value.

Effort, intelligence and the ability to reflect are what allow us to identify what is needed and recognize it when it is found.

This saying has its origin in the incorporation into the popular language of the maxims of the gospel, texts in which Jesus is attributed the expressions “Ask, and they will be given; search, and you will find; call, and it will be opened to you, because everyone who asks receives; If you search you will find; and to him who knocks, it is opened.”(Gospel according to Saint Matthew, chapter 7, verses 7 to 8).

In this context, Jesus refers to spiritual attitudes and the confidence that, by doing our part, God takes pity on his servants and illuminates his path so that they find what they need.

In this way, the saying is incorporated into popular wisdom and used in all kinds of situations in which the person must get under way to achieve their purposes.

There are some variants of this saying according to the country.The most frequent is "He who seeks, finds" or "He who seeks, finds , as bad as it may go.”

In the particular case of Argentina, a variant with a new element of meaning is introduced:“ He who seeks, finds, but does not have a medal.”That variant refers to who look for problems.This would be more similar, in any case, to the saying that "He who seeks where he should not find what he does not want."
