人生的完整
荷叶/译
从前,有个圆圈发觉丢失了一小段楔形物,为了完整,它到处寻找。但由于不完整,它滚动得非常缓慢。一路上,它羡慕过各种花朵,它和蚯蚓聊过天,它享受过明媚的阳光。它找到了许多不同的楔形物,但没有一段适合自己。因此,它把它们通通丢在路边,继续寻找。终于有一天,圆圈找到了使自己珠联璧合的那一段了。它真高兴。现在它完整了,完美无缺了。圆圈把丢失的这一小段装在自己身上,开始滚动。现在它成了一个完整的圆圈,它可以滚动得很快,快得使它再也注意不到花的美丽,再也不能和蚯蚓谈心了。当它认识到滚动太快,世界变得如此不同时,它停了下来,把失而复得的这一小段卸下,扔到路边,缓慢地滚走了。
人生的完整在于他能够容忍自己的局限,勇敢地放弃不切实际的幻想而没有失败的感觉;人生的完整还在于一个人足够强大,知道自己可以历经苦难而幸存,失去亲人而仍感觉自己是个完整的人。 附:原文
Once a circle missed a wedge. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms.It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of themf it. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
There is a wholeness about the person who has his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive, she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person. |
