We could not find the lost sheep (歧路亡羊).
In the Spring and Autumn Period of China, a
famous thinker (Lee Yukou), he wrote a story.
There is a famous thinker whose name is
(Yang Zhu).
One day, his neighbor said to him.
I have a sheep lost. I summoned everyone in
my family. We are going to find that sheep.
I want to ask your students to help find
it.
(Yang Zhu) said, do you need so many people
to find a sheep?
The neighbor replied. Because there are
many forked roads, and each forked road has many forked roads.
So we need a lot of people to help.
(Yang Zhu) then ordered several students to
help.
That night, these students returned. (Yang
Zhu) asked these students, have you found this sheep?
The student answered. We searched all day
but couldn't find the sheep. Because there are too many forked roads along the
way.
(Yang Zhu) showed a serious expression.
Then he did not speak for several days.
A few days later, a famous scholar
(Xinduzi) came to visit (Yang Zhu).
After the two of them talked, the students
asked (Xinduzi).
In the conversation, did the teacher reveal
why he felt so heavy about the loss of sheep by his neighbor?
(Xinduzi) answered.
(Yang Zhu) From this incident, let him
think of an important question.
The most important truth in the world is
usually simple, but on the way to this important truth, we will encounter many
forked roads.
Too many people are lost in these forked
roads in the process of pursuing the truth.
These people have been busy all their
lives, but they don't know that they have lost their way. They are like this
lost sheep.
All of us should always remind ourselves.
When we learn all kinds of knowledge, we
must not forget what is the real most important value for a human being.
This idiom is used to remind us that we
should grasp the basic truth and the most important value, so as not to let us
go into a fork in the road.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
What do you think is the most important
value in your life? Do you recall the important choices you have experienced in
your life?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
we could not find the lost sheep
歧路亡羊(We could not find the lost sheep)。
中國的春秋時代，著名的思想家(列禦寇)，他寫了一個故事。
有一個著名的思想家，他名字叫做(楊朱)。
有一天，他的鄰居對他說。
我有一頭羊走失了，我召集了我家裡的所有人，我們要去找回那隻羊。
我想請你的學生一起幫忙尋找。
(楊朱)說，找一隻羊需要那麼多人嗎。
鄰居回答。因為有很多分岔的路，而每條分岔的路又會有很多分岔的路。
因此我們需要很多人來幫忙。
(楊朱)便吩咐好幾個學生去幫忙。
當天晚上，這些學生回來了。(楊朱)便問這些學生，你們有尋回這隻羊了嗎。
學生回答。我們找了一整天但是找不到那隻羊。因為沿途太多條分岔的路了。
(楊朱)露出嚴肅的表情。接著他好幾天都沒有說話。
幾天後，有一位著名的學者(心都子)來拜訪(楊朱)。
他們兩個人對談後，這些學生們便問(心都子)。
老師在對談中，有沒有透露他為何對鄰居丟失羊而感到心情沉重呢。
(心都子)回答。
(楊朱)從這次事件中，讓他想到一個重要的問題。
這世界上最重要的真理通常是簡單的，但是在通往這個重要的真理的路上，我們會遇到許多分岔的路。
有太多的人在追尋真理的過程中，卻迷失在這些分岔的路中。
這些人忙碌了一輩子，但他們卻不知道自己已經迷路，他們就像這一隻迷失的羊。
我們所有的人都應該時刻提醒自己。
在我們學習各種不同的知識的時候，我們不要忘記，對一個人類而言真正最重要的價值是什麼。
這句成語被用來提醒我們應該抓住基本的真理與最重要的價值，才不會讓我們走進了岔路。
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。
你認為在你的人生中最重要的價值是甚麼呢?你回憶你的人生中，有經歷過那些重要的選擇呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
