There is a story like this.
There is a small bug called (Fuban).

saw food, he would carry it on his back.
Sometimes when there is a lot of food, (Fuban)
will keep putting food on the back.
The food is getting more and more heavy. It
seems that (Fuban) is about to be crushed to death by these foods.
(Liu Zongyuan) looked at the little bug. He
felt that this bug was too hard, so he took away the food on his back.
This little bug instantly returned to a
relaxed state.
But after a while, this little bug, he
started carrying food on his back again.
(Fuban) There is more and more food on his
back. (Fuban) died on the way back to his lair.
At this time (Liu Zongyuan) thought in his
heart.
How ignorant this bug is.
But we observe many people around us, even
ourselves.
Don't most humans behave like this little
bug?
We only think about how to obtain more
wealth, power or other tangible material comforts every day.
We are not willing to give up any of what
we have already gained, we just want to hold onto these things tightly all the
time.
But are these really useful?
Although our human body is bigger than this
little bug, is our wisdom higher than this little bug?

他是一位傑出的文學家。他是中國唐朝最重要的文壇領袖之一。
他在自己寫的書中透過許多故事，去表達自已的想法與觀察。
有一個故事是這樣的。
有一種名字叫做(蝜蝂)的小蟲。
當(蝜蝂)在爬行途中，他只要看到食物，就會把食物揹在背上。
有時候剛好食物很多，(蝜蝂)就會一直把食物往背上放。
食物愈來愈多並且愈重。看起來(蝜蝂)已經快要被這些食物壓死了。
柳宗元看著這隻小蟲子，他覺得這隻蟲子太辛苦了，便把他背上揹著的食物拿走。
這隻小蟲子瞬間回到輕鬆的狀態。
但是不一會兒，這隻小蟲子，他又開始揹起食物到自己的背上了，
(蝜蝂)背上的食物愈來愈多。(蝜蝂)在回自已的巢穴的半路上就死掉了。
這時候柳宗元心中便想。
這隻小蟲是多麼的愚昧啊。
但是我們觀察自已身邊的許多人、甚至是我們自已。
大部分人類的行為不也是都跟這隻小蟲一樣嗎。
我們每天都只想著如何獲得更多的財富，權力或者其他有形的物質享受。
我們不肯放棄任何一點已經得到的，我們只想要一直緊緊的抓住這些東西。
但是這些真的有用處嗎。
我們人類雖然身體比這隻小蟲子巨大，但是我們的智慧有比這隻小蟲子更高嗎?
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。
你有多久沒有檢視或者反省自己的生命目標了呢?對你而言，真正有價值的東西是什麼呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
