A thought provoking story, a story worth pondering.

It is recommended to go to the bookstore and buy the book "Laughing Outside".

This is not a story, it is a real story: how do the children of the poor survive in a materialistic society?

When I traveled to Guilin a few days ago, the deepest feeling was not the beautiful scenery, you definitely didn't think of it. I went to a relatively backward village and heard a very touching story (remember, not a story, it's a real story).

Remember when there was a murderer named "Maccabius"? We just went to his hometown. According to the locals, Magajue is a very sensible child in the hearts of the local people, and he is a very hard working and very good child (he once won the third place in the Olympiad).

According to the locals, his family was very poor (his father was sick since childhood). Once, for some reason, his mother lost 100 yuan and cried there. After Ma Jia Jue found out, he went to work with his mother on his back after school, put the 100 yuan he earned back in a corner, and then pulled his mother and said:

Mom, your 100 yuan is here. Mom cried. He was 14 years old at the time.

Through hard work, he scored more than 650 points in the college entrance examination. With this score, he was stupid enough to apply for a first-class university in China, but he didn't, he only filled in an ordinary university in Yunnan because his family had no money (this was borrowed from neighbors and relatives).

After going to college, because his family was poor, his classmates looked down on him, and people often bullied him, such as "You go and fetch me food, I will give you 5 dimes". However, he went (because he had no money), which also greatly hurt his self-esteem. Once, a classmate actually peed into his quilt.

The anger he had pent up for many years suddenly exploded, he first smashed this classmate to death with a hammer, and then smashed to death three other classmates who usually bully him. Maccabius then embarked on the path of escape. He learned from the newspaper that he was offered a reward of up to 200,000 yuan!

Later, he called his middle school teacher and said: "Teacher, I am Magajue, I have committed a capital crime, and sooner or later I will be arrested, it is better for me to tell you my current location, and you can report me." Then you take the 200,000 yuan to repair our school, and give the rest to my mother, so that his life can be better, and I will rest assured.

After that, his elementary and middle school teachers visited him in prison. Guess why he touched the teacher again? He said, "Teacher, look at how handsome my clothes are (he was wearing a prison uniform at the time), and I haven't worn such good clothes yet!"

The teachers cried, and so did the police officers present. After the execution, Maccabe's ashes were sent back to the village, and the whole village came out to greet him, and the scene was very touching.

Through this incident, the local government has allocated special funds to help the village get rid of poverty.

When I read this report, I couldn't help but feel emotional, tears flowed down my eyes, and my heart was very uncomfortable - poverty has become the only source of some people being forced to go to the point of no return!

One day, a man went to a temple with a friend to burn incense, and when he arrived at the temple gate and was about to enter, he met a young monk. The little monk spoke: Amitabha!

Hello two donors! The temple is directly under the Buddhist Association of China, and we welcome both of you to visit the temple. To show your devotion and respect for the Buddha, please enter the door with your left foot first.

When the two of them heard this, they were in awe, and at the same time, they hurriedly and obediently did so. Along the way, the little monk introduced them to which Buddhas represented which meanings and told them that they didn't need to worship every Buddha, just be selective. You don't have to waste money to buy as much incense as you want, as long as you are sincere.

The two felt that what the little monk said was very reasonable, and they thought about them everywhere, and they were very moved! While they were listening to the introduction of the little monk, there were a lot of onlookers around them. As they walked, the little monk introduced them to the presiding monk in the temple

The presiding abbot of our temple is an eminent monk who is proficient in Buddhist rituals. Ladies and gentlemen, we are very fortunate that our host has just returned from his travels. Although he is not very old, there are many believers who will benefit greatly from his guidance.

I think I have a very good relationship with all the donors today, or I will ask the host to see if he is willing to meet with you, recite a Buddhist sutra for everyone, do a ritual, and bring you some good luck! Saying this, everyone urged the little monk to ask for a look. After a long time, everyone didn't care, and still stood there sincerely and waited.

Finally, when the little monk came out, he said that the abbot agreed, and invited everyone to go to the main hall to listen to the scriptures. Everyone was very happy and flocked to the main hall. In the main hall, I heard that the abbot recited a Buddhist scripture and said something about life, and everyone seemed to feel that they had a great consciousness and had to hear the avenue!

Finally, the abbot instructed a little monk to take everyone to different Buddhas to light different incense, another little monk to take a group of people to the release pool, and finally left one in the main hall to continue the long conversation with him. The little monk who went to the release pond told everyone that there are two kinds of animals in the temple for everyone to release, one is the carp, which will bring peace and good luck to the child; The other is the tortoise, which can bring longevity and health to the elderly in the family. The former is 60-160 yuan, and the latter is 180-380 yuan, and you can choose to give money at will.

Afterwards, 80% of the people chose to release both at the same time. And the one who was left in the main hall was smiling when he came out, the friend asked, it turned out that when the abbot left him alone for a long talk, he told him about the past, present, future and other things, he felt that the abbot said very accurately, very godly! Finally, the abbot talked about cause and effect, and thought that if he wanted to continue the present blessings in the future, he would do great good deeds and burn high incense.

However, the abbot has always emphasized that the incense is very expensive, very expensive. The person began to feel uneasy, because he only had more than 10,000 cash with him, and he was afraid that it would not be enough, and he was embarrassed to ask. Until finally, when the abbot told him that he needed 3,800 yuan, he breathed a sigh of relief, generously paid for it, and added an extra 1,000 tips.

Afterwards everyone felt that it was worth the money, and everyone was elated!

Thinking: These four little stories are thought-provoking, have you felt a lot?

Three people were selected to be imprisoned for three years, and the prison director gave each of the three of them a requirement. Americans love to smoke cigars and asked for three boxes of cigars. The French are the most romantic and want a beautiful woman to accompany them. And the Jew said that he wanted a ** to communicate with the outside world.

Three years later, the first to burst out were the Americans, with cigars stuffed in their mouths and nostrils, shouting, "Give me fire, give me fire!" "It turns out that he forgot to ask for fire.

Then came the French. I saw that he was holding a small child in his hand, and a beautiful woman was holding a small child in her hand, and she was still carrying a third in her belly. The last to come out was the Jew, who held the warden's hand tightly and said:

In the past three years I have been in contact with the outside world every day, and my business has not stopped, but has grown by 200, and as a token of appreciation, I will give you a Roesherth! ”

This story teaches us that what kind of choices determine what kind of life. Our lives today are determined by the choices we made three years ago, and the choices we make today will determine our lives three years from now. We need to choose to be exposed to the latest information and understand the latest trends, so as to better create our own future.
