有一个印度人看见一只蝎子在水中挣扎。他决定伸出一只手指去救它,但是蝎子蜇了他一下。这个人仍然尽力想把蝎子从水中救出来,但是蝎子又蜇了他一下。 旁边的一个人告诉他不要再救这只不断蜇他的蝎子了。 但是这位印度人说:“蜇人是蝎子的天性,而我的天性就是爱。为什么仅仅因为蝎子蜇人的天性,我就放弃我爱的天性呢?” A Scorpion’s Inspiration There was the Hindu who saw a scorpion floundering around in the water. He decided to save it by stretching out his finger,but the scorpion stung him. The man still tried to get the scorpion out of the water, but the scorpion stung him again. A man nearby told him to stop saving the scorpion that kept stinging him. But the Hindu said, “ It is the nature of the scorpion to sting. It is my nature to love. Why should I give up my nature to love just because it is the nature of the scorpion to sting?” |
