孔老夫子游泰山时,看见一位老者衣衫褴褛。虽这样,老者却边弹边唱高兴万分。孔子问他为何如此高兴。老者笑曰:“天下万物,唯人为贵,我有幸为人,此是一乐;生而为人,男尊女卑,我有幸为男人,此为二乐;众生芸芸,多少人未出襁褓便短命早夭,而我又有幸活到如此高龄,此为三乐。”你看,这位老人多会自找高兴啊。 When Confucius toured Mount Tai, he saw an old man dressed in rags. In spite of this, the old man sang happily while playing. Confucius asked him why he was so happy. The old man smiled and said: “All things in the world are only worthwhile. I have the privilege of being a man. This is a joy. I am a man, a man and a woman, and I have the privilege of being a man. This is a second pleasure. Many people are jealous. And I have the privilege of living at such a high age. This is Sanle. ”You see, this old man will be more than happy.
