英語(yǔ)溫馨夜讀I PART2 10 The Splashes Of Life 生命的波紋
[00:08.54]There is a famous Sioux Indian story
[00:11.81]handed down from generation to generation:
[00:14.66]The grandfather took his grandson to the fish pond on the farm
[00:19.90]when the boy was about seven,
[00:21.88]and he told the boy to throw a stone into the water.
[00:25.38]He told the boy to watch the circles created by the stone.
[00:29.33]Then he asked the boy to think of myself as that stone.
[00:33.92]“You may create lots of splashes in your life,
[00:38.08]but the waves that come from those splashes
[00:41.17]will disturb the peace of all your fellow creatures,” he said.
[00:46.39]“Remember that you are responsible for what you put in your circle
[00:51.44]and that circle will also touch many other circles.”
[00:55.15]“You will need to live in a way
[00:58.00]that allows the good that comes from your circle
[01:00.95]to send the peace of that goodness to others.
[01:04.00]The splash that comes from anger or jealousy
[01:07.15]will send those feelings to other circles.
[01:10.03]You are responsible for both.”
[01:13.96]That was the first time the boy realized
[01:16.77]that each person creates the inner peace or discord
[01:20.05]that flows out into the world.
[01:21.62]We cannot create world peace
[01:24.76]if we are riddled with inner conflict, hatred, doubt, or anger.
[01:29.17]We radiate the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside,
[01:33.95]whether we speak them or not.
[01:35.95]Whatever is splashing around inside of us is spilling out into the world,
[01:41.42]creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.
