Gratitude: The story is short, the truth is deep

Thanksgiving, is an attitude to life, always have a heart of gratitude, repay virtue, gratitude, worthy of the heart, clear and calm in the world to go once!

There is a story that says:

One day an old man was asked which was more important, the sun or the moon. The old man thought for a long time and answered, “It is the moon. The moon is more important.”

‘Why?

“Because the moon shines at night, when we need light most, and the day is bright enough, and the sun shines at that time.”

You may laugh at the old man’s stupidity, but don’t you think many people do too? People who take care of you every day, you never feel anything, if strangers occasionally help you, you think that others are good; Your parents and family have been paying for you, you always take it for granted, and sometimes even hate it; When someone else does something similar for you, you will be extremely grateful. Isn’t that as silly as “thanking the moon and denying the sun”?

A girl had a terrible argument with her mother and ran out of the door, determined never to return to her hated home! All day she had been wandering about outside, hungry and rumbling, but she had not brought any money, and could not bring herself to go home for dinner. Until evening, she came to a noodle stand and smelled the fragrance. She really wanted to eat a bowl, but she had no money, so she couldn’t stop swallowing.

Suddenly, the noodle stall owner kindly asked: “Little girl, do you want to eat noodles?”

She replied sheepishly, “HMM! But I have no money with me.”

The boss laughed: “Ha ha, it doesn’t matter, let’s treat me today!”

The girl couldn’t believe her ears. She sat down. After a while, the noodles came, she ate with relish, and said: “Boss, you are very nice!”

The boss said, “Oh? How do you say it?” The girl replied, “We don’t know each other, but you are so nice to me, unlike my mother, who does not understand my needs and ideas, really angry!”

The boss smiled again: “Haha, little girl, I only gave you a bowl of noodles, you are so grateful to me, then your mother to help you cook more than 20 years of rice, you should not be more grateful to her?”

After listening to the boss, the girl suddenly woke up like a big dream, and the tears came to her eyes in an instant! She could not eat the remaining half bowl of noodles and ran home at once.

At the entrance of the alley in front of the house, the girl saw her mother in the distance, looking around anxiously at the door, and her heart immediately pulled together! The girl feels like she wants to say sorry to her mother a thousand times. But before she could speak, her mother came forward and said, “Oh! Where have you been all day? I’m dying! Hurry into the house and wash your hands. It’s time for dinner.”

That night, the girl deeply realized her mother’s love for her.

When the sun is always there, people forget the light it gives; When relatives have been around, people will forget the warmth they give. A person who is well taken care of will not be grateful, because he thinks that the day is bright enough, the sun is superfluous.

I hope each of us knows which is more important, the sun or the moon.
