[分享] The wholeness of life

[ACosette ( 生活是一種優雅)]

        Once a circle missed a wedge. The circle wanted to be whole,

  so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was

  incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers

  along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots

  of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of

  the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that

  fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing.

  It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it

  was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or

  talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it

  rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road

  and rolled slowly away.



        The lesson of the story, I suggested, was that in some strange sense we

  are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is

  in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn, to

  hope, to nourish his soul with the dream of something better. He will never

  know the experience of having someone who loves him give him something he has

  always wanted or never had.

　　    There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his

  limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams

  and not feel like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man

  or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a

  tragedy and survive,she can lose someone and still feel like a complete

  person.

　　    Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn us for

  failing. Life is not a spelling bee, where no matter how many words you've

  gotten right, you're disqualified if you make one mistake. Life is more like

  a baseball season,where even the best team loses onethird of its games and

  even the worst team has its days of brilliance. Our goal is to win more games

  than we lose.

        When we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we

  can continue rolling through life and appreciate it, we will have achieved

  a wholeness that others can only aspire to. That, I believe, is what God asks

  of us -- not “ Be perfect” , not “ Don't even make a mistake”, but “ Be

  whole.”

  　    If we are brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, generous

  enough to rejoice in another's happiness, and wise enough to know there is

  enough love to go around for us all, then we can achieve a fulfillment that

  no other living creature will ever know.
