Fable 392 - Death of the cockroach (fù bǎn).

This fable story is selected from Liu Zongyuan's "Liuhe Dongji", on the road of life, if you see everything you want, then the load on your body will become heavier and heavier, walking will become more and more difficult, once you exceed your own ability to bear, not only can not move forward half a step, but also will be overwhelmed by the load on the ground, can not get up, can not move forward. Therefore, in the journey of life, it is necessary to take something and give up, and some people are wrong again and again, that is, to go to the desperate road, how like a scorpion!

A scorpion is a small insect that is good at carrying things. When you encounter something while crawling, you grab it and lift your head to carry it. Things get heavier and heavier on their backs, even if they are exhausted to the extreme. Its back is not smooth, so things will not be scattered on the pile, and finally it will not be overwhelmed and cannot be climbed. Some people pity it and remove the things on its back for it. If the scorpion can crawl, it will grasp things as before. This little worm likes to climb to a high place, and after exhausting its strength, it will not stop until it falls from a high place and dies on the ground.

Those who are insatiable in the world today, when they see money, they will take a handful of money and use it to fill their family property, not knowing that the goods have become their burden, and only afraid that the wealth will not accumulate enough. When they collapsed due to negligence, some were dismissed from office, and some were relegated to remote areas, and they also suffered hardships. If, once they are used, they do not think of repentance, they think every day about improving their status, increasing their own money, and they are becoming greedy for money and wealth, so that they are close to the point of falling to death, and they do not know how to accept the lesson of those who have committed suicide because they have tried their best to be greedy for money. Although their appearance is huge, their names are human, but the knowledge is the same as the scorpion, it is also very sad!
