One day (Zhuang Zhou) dreamed that he was a
butterfly, he felt so happy because he could fly freely.
The butterfly in the dream did not know
that it was a dream of (Zhuang Zhou).
When (Zhuang Zhou) woke up, he remembered
the dream of turning into a butterfly.
(Zhuang Zhou) Suddenly confused. He asked
himself, do I really exist?
Maybe I'm in the butterfly's dream now.
Butterflies are dreaming, and I become

was actually a butterfly's dream.
My true identity may be a sleeping
butterfly.

他是中國歷史上最著名的哲學家之一。
他寫的書中，紀錄的一個他自己的小故事。
有一天(莊周)夢見自己是一隻蝴蝶，他感覺好開心因為可以自由自在地飛。
夢中的蝴蝶不知道自己是(莊周)的一場夢。
當(莊周)睡醒了，他回想到這個變成一隻蝴蝶的夢。
(莊周)突然有些迷惘。他問自己說，我真的存在嗎?
說不定我現在是在蝴蝶的夢裡。
蝴蝶也正在作夢，蝴蝶夢裡的我成了(莊周)。
我以為自己是(莊周)這件事，其實是蝴蝶的夢。
我真實的身分可能是一隻睡著了的蝴蝶。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你有過與莊周一樣的想法嗎?你的世界觀是怎樣的呢?你怎樣看待現實生活呢?
希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
