Chapter 25 undying hope

There is a story like this: Once upon a time, there was an evil magician who raised a flock of sheep and prepared to kill them for food, but the sheep knew what he was trying to do, and many of them took chances to escape. After they were hypnotized, they said: Great sheep, you have nothing to worry about. You are heroes, knights, emperors, generals, doctors, lawyers, and writers. Since that hypnosis, the sheep will never run away again. Willing to be their heroes until they are sent to the slaughterhouse. The late master of metaphysics Gautheff, who told the story, pointed out that this is the most accurate portrayal of the human condition.

What is life?No matter how wholeheartedly we conceive of the greatness of human beings, we are born to be a group of frogs at the bottom of the well, stretching out our heads from the dusty earth to explore the endless universe, just like frogs in a deep well want to see the outside world from the mouth of the well . No matter how clearly we see it, it is only a small part of the truth, and what we get is a distorted truth. But at the bottom of the well is our world. In this well, some frogs are lying in the sewage, complacently seeking great achievements, striving for fame and fortune, becoming emperors, generals, heroes and knights; some are huddled in a corner, helpless; Yes, looking out of the well, looking forward to the vast world outside, thinking about the day when I go out.

At the bottom of the well, there are some stories about frogs that have jumped out of the well. Their names are Laozi, Jesus, Sakyamuni, Muhammad, etc. Although they did not come back, they have given hope to the frogs in the well that they will never be extinguished.
