放下(樽鹽)活得自在 blogpost by Irene Au

曾經看過鹿角的寓言故事,故事裡的主角是一隻美麗的鹿,牠每天在美麗的大自然裡悠游地生活。一天鹿在湖邊喝水,看到水中的自己,發現自己的角有幾支交叉重叠在一起,長得好漂亮,好像一棵美麗的樹,心裡不但高興,原來自己這麼美,覺得很驕傲,很得意,之後低頭又看到自己四隻又細又長的腳,即時覺得很懊惱沒面子,為何這麽美麗的頭和角會配上四隻不起眼的腳,真的醜陋

難看,有點自卑頓時連信心都跑掉。這時忽然聽到獵人打獵的槍聲,牠驚慌地跑入樹林,危急之時牠引以為傲的鹿角卻忽然被樹枝卡住了,牠不敢用力解脫,怕鹿角給弄壞, 結果當獵人逐步逼近,才領悟到平日最不起眼的四隻腳,原來是我的救命利器,而我最漂亮的鹿角卻害得我失去性命。

   其實我们每個人頭上都有一對鹿角, 一些在別人或自己眼裡引以為傲的東西,可能是成長環境,家庭,學歷,經驗,財富,樣貌等等。面對種種環境時,這些美麗的鹿角有時會成為人的負擔讓人想得太多,計算太多,不能保持一顆平常心,或許脫下美麗的鹿角走出框框,反而能隨心而行找到真正的自己。

今日,這個故事對你有沒有什麼啟發呢?

English interpretation:

One day a beautiful adult reindeer was drinking water upon a pond. When it looked into his water reflection, he saw his beautiful horns with some bends and very nice brown colour. When he looked at his long and very thin legs, he didn’t like it, he though they did not went well with his horns. While appreciating his horns, he heard gun shot noice and he started to run as fast as he possibly could.

At this moment, he then realized those legs he doesn’t like are those important assets that saved his life. On the other hand, those horns he loved the most are causing his life when he tried to escape.

After reading the story, when can you think of? what is the most important asset in your life that can actually help you for a better future?
