Chapter 73 big and small

light life 林清玄 304Words 2018-03-18
A friend talked about his relative's great-aunt, who never wore shoes that fit her in her life and often walked around in huge shoes. If her children and juniors ask her, she will say: "The big and small pairs are the same price, why not buy the big pair?" Every time I tell this story, some people always laugh out loud. In fact, in our daily life, we will see many aunts, writers without much thought, who write heavy and bitter works; painters with no content, but paint super giant paintings; homes. Many people's constant pursuit of greatness is really only driven by inner greed, like buying extra-large shoes and forgetting about your feet.

Smallness has its advantages, but sometimes it is difficult to explain clearly, just like the national treasures of the Forbidden City, the ivory ball, jade cabbage, and meat-shaped stone, are all too small to be imagined. Of course, no matter what shoes you buy, fit is the most important thing; no matter what you pursue, you must stop in moderation.
