一位朋友談到他親戚的姑婆,一生從來沒有穿過合腳的鞋子,常穿著巨大的鞋子走來走去。兒子晚輩如果問她,她就會說:“大小鞋都是一樣的價錢,為什麼不買大的?”
每次我轉述這個故事,總有一些人笑得岔了氣。其實,有時生活裡我們會看到很多這樣的“姑婆”。
沒有什麼思想的作家,偏偏寫著厚重苦澀的作品;沒有什麼內容的畫家,偏偏畫著超級巨畫;經常不在家的商人,卻有非常巨大的家園。
許多人不斷地追求巨大,其實只是被內在貪慾推動著,就好像買了特大號的鞋子,忘了自己的腳一樣。
不管買什麼鞋子,合腳最重要;不論追求什麼,總要適可而止。
Pursue whatever you want, but never stop
A friend talked about his relative's great-aunt, who had never fitted her shoes in her life and used to walk around in huge shoes. If the son younger generation asked her, she would say: "big shoes are the same price, why not buy big shoes?"
Every time I tell the story, a few people laugh their heads off. In fact, sometimes we can see a lot of such "aunt" in our life.
There is no thought of the writer, but writing thick and bitter works; There is no content of the painter, but painting a super painting; Businessmen who were often away from home had very large homes.
Many people's constant quest for bigness is driven by an inner greed, as if they bought oversized shoes and forgot about their feet.
No matter what shoes you buy, the most important thing is to fit your feet. Pursue what you may in moderation.
