一個神仙為了考驗人性,告訴一個大財主:「明天一早到天黑前回到這裡,凡走過的土地都屬於你」。大財主第二天一早天就出發。他一刻也不停留,連口渴時也捨不得停下來喝口水。唯恐少跑一步,就少塊土地。直到日落黃昏,他才跑回到神仙的面前。神仙問他:「走了多遠?這樣夠嗎?」他疲累不堪的回答:「不夠,要不是天黑了,我還想多跑遠點。」說完,就在神仙的面前倒下、斷氣。
這位大財主,為了更多的財富,用生命去博,拼命到停下來喝口水都捨不得喝;他心中想的是自己跑不夠遠,得到不夠多。人的一生短短數十寒載,所追求的就只有財富,這樣值得嗎?
猴子抓了一把豆子在手中,但為了再多抓些,卻不知手中的豆子滑落了多少。每個人一天都是廿四小時,一頓不過一碗飯,睡不過一張床,穿不過五尺衣。何必過於追求不屬於自己的東西,執著於物質上的感官享受。
