What would you do

696 views. 2010-8-8 14:45 |Individual Classification:Meditation|

A stream dreams of going into sea one day, and it is trying its best to achieve that goal.

It runs a very long distance before it is blocked by a desert.  It has to stop for a while and think. It's common sense that the stream would be absorbed by dry and hot sands of the desert if it goes into it.  What can it do?  There is no way of steering by the desert and it seems that the stream couldn't realize its dream.  "What will I do about it? Just give it up?" murmurs the stream.  "Why don't you change yourself into vapor? And if you do, you can fly in the sky with the wind, overpass me and piece together again when you arrive at your destination---the sea, of course." 

The stream has to think it over.  "What if I will not piece myself together?"  So it is still there and thinks it over and over again...

My dear friends, if you were the stream under that situation, what would you do?

When it hesitates and thinks over and over, it already loses itself...

i will keep going, going across the sands with the possibility of being absorbed by them. The thought that I have indulged all my life in my life-long pursuit makes me complete and willing to die without regrets.

I think that you are a tough guy.  You try your best to make your dreams come true.  That's great.

Yes, I agree.  But don't you think there are many people in real life who have this kind of thought and lose many chances to go ahead?  I think it's true.

I think I am under this situation. There is not enough courage for my goal, and I always can't proceed with confidence.

spare no efforts to realize your goal when you are determined.

When you think, you will lose chances to try and at the same time others go ahead.

If I were the stream I would persist in chasing my dream. And under that circumstances,I would do my best to overcome the desert and go to where I want to go.If I failed,I would wait for the next opportunity to continue untill reaching my goal.

hehe, it's a tricky question. If a stream is doomed to be swallowed by dry desert, who can garantee vapor can reach the sea? But anyhow, hesitating is worse than either choice.
