Once upon a time, a dad was teaching his son how to
keep the body healthy and clean.
Dad: Son, there are two parts in your body.
The first one is sinful which are anger, envy,
jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment,
inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. This one will keep your
body unclean and dirty and you should avoid it in all cause. However, this one
is the easiest one to achieve. The evil will always try to take you in his
side.
The other one is noble. It is joy, peace, love,
hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion and faith. This one is the best one to keep your body healthy and
clean, but this one is very hard to achieve.
Dad: Son, now it is you who have to make choice and
find the right path to become healthy and clean.
Moral: We all have two sides in our mind. As the
fable represented, one is sinful and the other one is noble. However, it is
very difficult to choose the noble one. But you must try harder being noble,
because this is the one that will make your life happy.
“For greed all nature is too little.” –Lucius
Annaaeus Seneca
Roman Stoic Philosopher
