Recently, I read a book called "Greek Mythology", which tells many wonderful stories of ancient Greece. There are many characters who share the same form as humans, including the beauty of human body and the seven emotions and six desires of humans. They understand joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and participate in human activities. The only difference between gods and humans is that the former is eternal and has no period of death; The latter has limited life and can lead to birth, aging, illness, and death. The gods in Greek mythology have distinct personalities, without asceticism or mysticism. The beauty of Greek mythology lies in the fact that gods still have a destiny, are still trapped in love, and do bad things for their own benefit.Although Oedipus had wisdom and courage, he cleverly solved the riddle of the Sphinx: "What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night? When it has the most legs, it is also when it walks the slowest and has the weakest physical strength." With his wise head, he came up with it. However, his life was still in the trajectory of fate. So, compared to us, we need to break the shackles of fate and strive to change our own destiny.Everything is fought for by oneself! If you approach things with a positive mindset, your fate will naturally improve. The so-called good or bad fate mainly refers to the cause and effect of the past life. If you have done many good deeds in the past life, of course, you will have blessings in this life. On the contrary, if you have not done many good deeds in the past life and suffered in this life, it is not important to follow the Buddhist teachings. If you do more good deeds, you will have more good luck, and your destiny will naturally change! The saying goes, "You reap what you sow, you reap what you sow.".
So, being a person should be brave, upright, kind, and willing to take responsibility. This is not only beneficial for oneself, but also for your next generation and the people around you. Perhaps you will also be infected and everyone will start doing good deeds! The story of Oedipus highlights the complex relationship between chance and necessity, as well as the impermanence and helplessness of fate. After reading this book, I am amazed and feel that there is nothing strange in the world!
翻譯:最近我讀了一本名叫《希臘神話》的書,書中講了許許多多古希臘的奇妙故事,有許許多多的人物,神與人同形同性,既有人的體態(tài)美,也有人的七情六欲,懂得喜怒哀樂,參與人的活動(dòng)。神與人的區(qū)別僅僅在于前者永生,無死亡期;后者生命有限,有生老病死。希臘神話中的神個(gè)性鮮明,沒有禁欲主義因素,也很少有神秘主義色彩。希臘神話的美麗就在于神依然有命運(yùn),依然會(huì)為情所困,為自己的利益做出壞事。
那里面的俄狄浦斯雖然擁有智慧與勇氣,機(jī)智地把獅身人面獸斯芬克斯的謎語:“什么動(dòng)物早晨用四條腿走路,中午用兩條腿走路,晚上用三條腿走路?腿最多的時(shí)候,也正是他走路最慢,體力最弱的時(shí)候。”用他那充滿智慧的腦袋給想出來了。但是,他的一生還是在命運(yùn)的軌跡中。所以,對(duì)比我們,我們要打破命運(yùn)的束縛,努力改變自己的命運(yùn)。
一切都靠自己爭(zhēng)??!你本著一切向善的心態(tài)去做事,你的命運(yùn)自然就會(huì)好的。所謂的命運(yùn)好壞主要是說前世的因果,前世種了多多做善事,今世當(dāng)然有福相報(bào)了,相反,如果前世做善事不多,今世受苦了,那也不要緊,按照佛家法門戒律去做,多做善事好運(yùn)多,你的命運(yùn)自然就改變了!所謂“種瓜得瓜,種豆得豆?!本褪沁@個(gè)道理吧。
所以說做人要勇敢,正直,善良,敢于承擔(dān)責(zé)任,這樣不僅有益于自己,還有益于你的下一世和下一代,以及你周圍的人,說不定也會(huì)被你所感染,都紛紛做起好人好事了!俄狄浦斯的故事突出表現(xiàn)了偶然和必然的復(fù)雜關(guān)系,命運(yùn)的“無?!?、“無奈”。看完這本書后,我使感嘆萬千,覺得世界上無奇不有!
