伊索寓言:橡树与宙斯
The Oaks and Jupiter
THE OAKS presented a complaint to Jupiter, saying, "We bear for no purpose the burden of life, as of all the trees that grow we are the most continually in peril of the axe." Jupiter made answer: "You have only to thank yourselves for the misfortunes to which you are exposed: for if you did not make such excellent pillars and posts, and prove yourselves so serviceable to the carpenters and the farmers, the axe would not so frequently be laid to your roots."
橡树与宙斯
橡树指责宙斯说:「我们生存着毫无意义,所有的植物中我们被砍伐得最多。」宙斯说:「招来不幸原因全在你们自己,假如你们不能做斧柄,对木匠和农夫毫无用处,那么斧头也不会来砍你们了。」
这个故事带出的启示就是:有些人把自己所引起的不幸,毫无道理地归咎於神。
