一包曲奇餅的故事

前一陣讀到這個故事,很有感觸,想要和大家分享,可怎麽也找不到那個郵件了.就轉述一下吧. 

一個女人乘飛機旅行,時間尚早,於是買了一包她最喜歡的曲奇,預備到登機口的座位坐下一麵讀書,一麵享用. 

女人沉浸在書本裏,過了一會兒才發現,旁邊不知什麽時候坐了一個男人,也在讀書.奇怪的是他不慌不忙地開始吃她放在旁邊的曲奇,女人簡直不敢相信自己的眼睛.更不可置信的是女人每拿一塊,他也不失時機地拿一塊.女人心裏氣憤極了,天下怎麽會有這樣無恥的人,招呼也不打就心安理得地吃別人的東西!很想質問他,但是修養使她壓著怒氣和厭惡沒有做聲. 

就這樣,你一塊,我一塊地,隨著時間過去,曲奇一點點少下去,女人覺得自己簡直遇到了一個無賴,心裏充滿了鄙視. 

當她拿起倒數第二塊餅幹時,心想,我倒要看看他能無恥到什麽地步,會不會吃這最後一塊.她的餘光看到那男人居然真的伸手拿了最後的那塊曲奇,心裏幾乎氣得要爆炸了.出乎她意料之外的是,那個男人拿過那塊曲奇,把它掰成兩半,然後微笑著遞給她半塊.此時,女人真的是哭笑不得了. 

飛機起飛,到了指定高度開始平穩起來.女人又讀一會兒書,讀到好的地方,想要做些筆記.她打開皮包取筆,頓時驚呆了,臉一下子變得通紅. 

裏麵有一包未開封的曲奇餅. 

她羞愧難當,原來那個無恥的人是她自己.而那個男人,卻毫無鄙視她的神氣,他還把最後一塊餅幹微笑著分給她一半! 

我想,一般人的反應多數都會和這個女人一樣,至多忍著厭惡默不作聲;而這個世上,也有像那個男人那樣的人,他們對別人心存寬容,尊重,和愛心,無論在怎樣的情況下. 

基督精神原是這樣的.

回複縱然平行的評論:
Yeah, you are right. I totally agree your opinion
as to me, yes, pretty much I will act like the lady but now I know I can do better. In fact if it was me I probably would find out the truth a lot sooner because I always have to SEARCH things in my purse:)

So nice to see you ad

[縱然平行]

If this story is indeed some lady's personal experience, I'd think that she is a very gracious and congenial person.

It is true that her presumption was wrong, but she was still able to keep her calmness and cultivation intact without letting her irritation make her a vicious lout.

Supposing you were her's shoes, I guess you could hold your tongue as well.

As per the guy who was sharing his cookies kindly and generously, I believe he could do a notch better by offering her a bottle of water to wash down the cookies. :)

You know it is a shame though 'cause they just walked away from this interesting encounter. They should have gotten together after this incidents and share a pleasant meal or more. :))

To me, one of this story's moral is that we all live a relatively short life in a small world, it would be unwise and wasteful to be angry, argumentative, aggressive or antagonistic over some small stuffs. Moreover, a tender heart and amiable personality go all the way. Do you agree ?

是啊，能做到那個女人那樣也不容易。問好石姐

如果那個女人吱一吱聲，就不會發展到最後，也就沒了這個故事。

當然，這不是the point~~

嗯，敬佩那個男人，也敬佩那個女人。
