Interesting conversation
下面兩篇文章是一個朋友寫的. 把生活中的事情以寫故事的方式來詮釋真不錯.跟大家分享.
轉載文章1.(讀後感想)尊重並不等於放任.該說的還是要說,該做的還是要做!!不要把別人對你的尊重當做是必然的. That is what I think. Could anyone share about the idea to us after reading the article I posted here.

Once upon a time, there was a little prince who lived in a kingdom far away.
One of the little prince’s best friends argued with his father, the Great Knight, the famous dragon slayer.
The prince discussed about his friend’s family business with the queen.
“My precious, so what’s going on with them?”
“His father, the Great Knight is a strict and nonsense father.”
“Then? In what way?”
“All of his family have been so proud of the Great Knight’s achievements and victories during the past years.”
“That’s brilliant.”
“However, the Great Knight expected his son, my friend, to be a successful dragon slayer in the future.”
“Did your friend wanna do as his father’s wish?”
“Not at all. My friend hopes to be the manager of the Royal Library. He adores reading.”
“He is not interested in fighting dragons or saving villagers.”
“His father stubbornly kept making him into someone he didn’t like.”
“I see.”
“Will you force me into someone else?”
“No, I won’t. I respect your own decisions.”
“That’s great.”
很久以前, 有個小王子住在遙遠的國度.
小王子的一個好友跟他父親吵架, 他父親是大騎士, 有名的屠龍勇者.
小王子跟皇后討論朋友的家務事.
“寶貝, 怎麼了.”
“他父親, 大騎士是個嚴肅又無理取鬧的人.”
“怎麼說?”
“所有家人都很敬佩大騎士這幾年來的豐功偉業.”
“很好啊.”
“可是大騎士希望他兒子, 未來也是個偉大的屠龍勇者.”
“你朋友願意依他父親期望作嗎?”
“一點也不, 他希望成為皇家圖書館的管理員, 他喜歡閱讀.”
“所以他對打敗惡龍或拯救村民沒興趣.”
“他父親固執的要他變成他不想成為的人.”
“嗯.”
“你會強迫我成為另個人嗎?”
“不會, 我尊重你自己的決定.”
“那就好.”

“My precious, be patient.”
“Didn’t you say you hoped to be a knowledgeable man in the future?”
“No pain, no gain.”
“Sure, you can.”
“What you did yesterday made who you are today.
What you do today makes who you will be tomorrow.
You can decide your own life.”
Then, go out with friends later.”
“That’s a good boy.”
“寶貝, 有耐心點.”
“你不是說未來想成為有智慧的人嗎?”
“有付出才有收穫.”
“當然可以啊.”
“昨天所作的, 造就今天的你.
今天所作的, 造就明天的你.
你可以決定自己的未來.”
“乖小孩.”

The first story reminds me of a book named “The Knight in Rusty Armor” by Robert Fisher.

為自己出征 (The Knight in Rusty Armor)
真正的我
故事的主角是一位武士,整天穿戴盔甲,到處救人,他想證明自己是心地好充滿愛心的人,久而久之,他的妻子與兒子都看不到他盔甲下的真面目,他也忘了自己的長相,而他--最後決心脫掉盔甲,到森林請教法師。
我們在人間,常以外在的表現來決定內在的特質,進而遺忘了自我的心靈。人生過程成了自我遺忘的道路,等到遇到困境,人生往往已是到了中途了。我們要如何找回自我?故事中的法師讓松鼠、鴿子當響導,暗示武士要注意大自然的啟發。不過,解決困難仍要靠自己,他--必須通過三座城堡。
沉默之堡--顧名思義,人在沉默中,必須面對自我,當外在吵雜時,內心的茫然不安就會出現了。如果用心,其實不難聽到真我的聲音,提醒自己真正想要的目標。武士為此痛哭,淚水腐蝕了頭盔,他的頭不再受拘束了。
知識之堡--知識無自知之明,博學而無用,我們應該要認清需要不等於愛,需要可多可少,愛卻永遠是人人珍惜的,有正確的知識,便可以走向愛的道路,所以要學會愛人。
志勇之堡--志氣和勇氣,克服恐懼之意,人最大弱點就是喪失自我勇氣,而受困於此,唯有無私忘我,不怕艱苦,才能擁有自我。
經過了三座城堡,武士的盔甲掉了、重新得到自由、也得到生命,我們是否也已經困在這三座城堡呢?如何調整自我活出自我人生,這是我們的挑戰,去尋找真我的心靈,相信就不會有寂寞的感受。其實人生常是得到多失去也多,人的生活常常習慣於自我掌控與重複,累積一層又一層防衛的心。而真正的快樂,恐怕是在虛假與真實的自我中,去學習明辨真實的自己,這也才是真正的愛自己。

思考自我價值、尋找生命真諦,困擾多少古今風流人物,孔明在與東吳群雄之論述中,指出做大事者凡事不需拘泥小節,亦不需沽名釣譽。
做人做事可以不在乎他人的看法嗎?那又如何擺脫世人的眼光,無拘無束、自由自在地揮灑人生呢?當眾人皆存著非我族類、叛經逆道的不屑態度,即使光明磊落、真實面對自己,足以抵擋萬箭穿心般地冷言冷語嗎?
所謂成功的自我實踐,恐怕仍逃不過世俗中的圓融和諧、諸事圓滿,畢竟環境的影響力就如同大自然的威力一般,誰躲的開呢?
