经典心灵鸡汤美文：最美的心

one day a young man was

standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the

most beautiful heart in the whole valley. a large crowd

gathered, and they all admired his heart for it was perfect.

there was not a flaw in it.

一天，一位年轻人站在城镇的中央，宣布他的心是整个山谷中最美

丽的心。围观的人很多，他们都称赞年轻人的心的确是完美无缺，

并没有一点伤痕瑕疵 。

suddenly, an old man appeared and said, why, your heart is

not nearly as beautiful as mine.

突然，一位老人出现在人群中，说：

你的心不如我的美丽。

the crowd and the young man looked at the old man s heart. it

was full of scars, it had places where pieces had been removed

and other pieces put in, but they didn t fit quite right, and there

were several jagged edges. in fact, in some places there were

deep gouges where whole pieces were missing.

围观者和年轻人 都朝老人的心看去：它布满了伤疤，有的地方被挖

去又重新填补上，但修补得不甚完整， 留下一些参差不齐的疤痕。

实际上，有的地方缺失了整块，甚至露出很深的豁口。

the young man laughed. comparing your heart with mine, mine

is perfect and yours is a mess of scars.

年轻人笑了起来：

我们两人的心相比 ，我的是那么完美，而你的却

是一堆伤疤。

是的，

老人说，

你的心从表面来看很完美， 但我绝不会跟你交换。

你看，每个伤疤都代表我为别人献出的一份爱

我掏出一块心给他们，

他们常常会掏出自己的一块回赠给 我，以填补我的空缺。

but because the pieces aren t exact, i have some rough edges,

which i cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared.

但由于这两 块不完全一样，伤口的边缘就留下了疤痕，不过我十分

珍惜这些疤痕，因为它们使我想起 我们共同拥有的爱心。

sometimes i have given pieces of my heart away, and the other

person hasn t returned a piece of his or her heart to me. these

are the empty gouges -- giving love is taking a chance.

有时我送出了一瓣心，其他人并没有回赠给我 ，因此就出现了这些

豁口

献出爱也是需要冒风险的。

although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding

me of the love i have for those people too, and i hope someday

they may return and fill the space i have waiting. so now do

you see what true beauty is?

尽管这些豁口很疼，我还是 让它们敞开着，因为它们能使我想起我

付出的爱。我希望有一天，得到爱的人们能够回来 填补上我心里的

空间。你现在明白什么是真正的美丽了吧

?

the young man walked up to the old man, reached into his

perfect heart, and ripped a piece out. he offered it to the old

man.

年轻人默 默走近老人，把手伸进自己完美的心中，撕下一块来，把

它献给这位老人。

the old man placed it in his heart, then took a piece from his

old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man

s heart. it fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged

edges.

老人接过馈赠，把它放 进自己的心里。然后他从自己疤痕累累的心

里掏出一块，放在年轻人心里的那个伤口上。 正好放进去，但不是

特别吻合，也出现了一些疤痕。

the young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but

more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man s heart

flowed into his.

年轻人看着自己的心，看起来不再完美但比以前更美丽了，因为老

人心中的爱也流淌到了 他的心里。

they embraced and walked away side by side.

他们拥抱着，肩并肩离开了。

经典心灵鸡汤美文：放爱一条生路

the other day as i talked with a

friend i recalled a story that i heard this summer. a

compassionate person, seeing a butterfly struggling to free

itself from its cocoon, and wanting to help, very gently

loosened the filaments to form an opening. the butterfly was

freed, emerged from the cocoon, and fluttered about but could

not fly. what the compassionate person did not know was that

only through the birth struggle can the wings grow strong

enough for flight. its shortened life was spent on the ground; it

never knew freedom, never really lived.

前几天和一位朋友闲聊时，我想起今年夏天听到的一个：

有个人很

富有同情心，看到一只蝴蝶拼命挣扎想冲破茧的束缚，就帮 了个忙，

轻轻地解开茧丝使其露出一个缺口。蝴蝶得到解放，从茧中出来振

翅欲飞，然而却飞不起来。这位富有同情心的人所不知道的是，只

有经过挣扎 破茧而出，翅膀才能变得强壮，可以飞翔。这只蝴蝶短

暂的生命只能在地上度过了，它从 未尝过自由的滋味，没有真正享

受过生活。

i call it learning to love with an open hand. it is a learning

which has come slowly to me and has been wrought in the

fires of pain and in the waters of patience. i am learning that i

must free the one i love, for if i clutch or cling, try to control, i

lose what i try to hold.

我把它叫做学会放爱一条生路。这个教训经历了痛 苦的锻造和耐心

的洗礼，我才逐渐认识到。我学会了必须给所爱的人自由，如果我

抓得太紧、紧握不放、设法控制，结果可能会失去他们。

if i try to change someone i love because i feel i know how that

person should be, i rob him or her of a precious right, the right

to take responsibility for one s own life and choices and way of

being. whenever i impose my wish or want or try to exert

power over another, i rob him or her of the full realization of

growth and maturation. i limit and prevent by my act of

possession, no matter how kind my intention.

如果我试图改变所爱的人，仅仅因为我觉得他

/

她应该这样 ，就等于

是掠夺了他

/

她的一项珍贵的 权利，即他

/

她对自己生命的责任权和生

活方式的选择权。无论何时我把自己的意志和权力强加给别人，都

会导致他
