Chapter 24: Ignorance and pathetic foolishness
Huixin saw that Yuxin didn't come to school after reading for three days, and didn't know what was going on, so he went to find Yuxin to understand the situation, and he found Yuxin in the middle of the mountainside, and Yuxin saw that Huixin teacher was coming, so he stepped forward to say hello to him. Huixin beckoned Yuxin to sit down and asked, "Why don't you go to school?" It's a good time to study at your age! ”
"My family is poor, my parents don't have money for me to go to school, so I have to herd sheep to earn money to support the family." Foolish hearts tell the truth.
"Have you ever wondered what you're going to do when you grow up? Or continue to herd sheep? Huixin asked again.
"Yes, because herding sheep can bring me a certain income, so that when I grow up, I can get married and have a wife!" Said smugly.
Huixin continued to ask, "What are you doing with your wife?" ”
Foolish replied without thinking: "Giving birth to a child, inheritance is always inevitable." ”
Hui Xin smiled, and then asked, "What will the child do after he is born?" ”
He said, "Then let him also go to herd the sheep, and then I can retire and wait for him to provide for it, so that I can have something to rely on." ”
"So have you thought of any other way or method to change your life?" Huixin enlightened.
"I don't know anything but herding sheep, so I have no other choice." Foolish said helplessly.
"Child, studying is also a way, it can change the destiny of your life." Huixin then enlightened him.
"But I'm so stupid that I can't remember the words and knowledge I've learned, and I think reading is more difficult than herding sheep, so I might as well lie on the hillside and herd the sheep and bask in the sun, and I can live comfortably every day." Foolish defended.
"You're wasting your time and your life like this! Child, do you think it's meaningful to live like this? Huixin sighed.
"I don't know what the meaning of life is, I just know that if I eat and sleep well every day, I will never have to worry, and as for time, it is worthless to me." Foolish said unmoved.
Huixin still couldn't bear to give up, and continued to enlighten: "Don't you have dreams and pursuits in your life? ”
"What is a dream? I have dreams every day, but what's the use, food and clothing can't be solved, it's better to have a full meal. Foolish said disapprerovingly.
Huixin shook his head when he heard this, and sighed to the sky: "This son is hard to carve rotten wood, and he can't be taught!" Then he waved his hand and walked away.
Just like that, the foolish mind is willing to let himself go, and continues to drop out of school and herd sheep without enterprising.
Later, I heard that Foolish Heart had worn out his straw sandals and wanted to go to the market to buy a pair. The bazaar is bustling with crowds and all sorts of small goods filling the counters. He walked over to a shoe shop with all sorts of shoes. He took a few pairs of shoes, picked left and right, and finally chose a pair of shoes that he was happy with. At this time, he put his hand in his pocket, rummaged through and searched for a long time, but did not find what he wanted, and the shopkeeper was anxious for him when he saw him like this, thinking that he had lost the money, and seeing that the business that was about to be completed was ruined like this, he was unwilling. Then he stepped forward and asked, "Have you lost the money, don't panic first, and then look carefully." ”
Guess how foolish people answered, "I didn't lose any money." It's just..."
The shopkeeper wondered: "The money hasn't been lost, so what are you looking for?"
Foolish heart was a little helpless: "I left the rope for measuring my feet at home and forgot to bring it." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he almost didn't get angry, he had never heard of such a shoe buyer after doing business for so long, so he hurriedly enlightened him and said: "You can try on your shoes to see if they fit, then you need to take a rope to measure." ”
"You don't know this, the size of the measure is reliable, I would rather believe in the size than my feet, I will go home and bring the rope and buy it again." Then he ran home.
Two hours later, when the sun was about to set, he hurried back to the shoe shop, where he bought a pair of shoes as long as a rope and went home beaming. Later, you know, when he got home, he put on new shoes and put them on, but he couldn't put them on, he was so angry that he picked up the scissors and clicked and cut them, so he barely squeezed them in, but it was still quite awkward to wear.
The next day, he felt that something was wrong, so he returned to the shoe shop again and asked for a larger one, but where was the shopkeeper of the shoe shop, the shoes were cut by you and wanted to change to a new one, I really haven't seen such a shoe buyer, nothing to do. After he left, the shopkeeper told him about it, and everyone knew that there was such a ridiculous thing, and those who had heard this story said that his brain was really as rigid as an elm pimple. It's really stupid and ridiculous to call it objective reality if you don't know what it is!
Knowledge can only be mastered by your constant study and study, and people who do not use their brains and are lazy to think are ignorant and stupid.
