“This is only an unfounded legend, but long ago a preacher passed by a village. A little child gave him a chestnut.”
I don’t think chestnuts can be eaten unless they are overheated. I don’t know what raw chestnuts taste like. Maybe it tastes so bad that it won’t go down your throat.
It’s a good anecdote passed down in her native land, which she takes seriously.
- What is hope?
- Hope is a form of magic that distorts truth. I don’t think anyone would dispute this point.
'Cause we’ve always been deceived by our hopes, haven’t we? Hope has never helped us.
But let’s admit that even such hoaxes have a bright side. That is, it replaces the interpretation of reality.
When she looked beside her, she saw chestnuts on the road. A chestnut covered with sharp thorns. To eat it, you must first remove the sharp thorns, but I wonder if you can do that with your bare hands.
In addition to chestnut trees, various trees are planted on this street, so you can even find persimmons and ginkgo nuts on the road.
Oh my god, the persimmon fruit is being trampled. Those who know about the fruits of plants are raking up the fruits lying on the road.
- What are the positive aspects of hope?
- Hope allows us to interpret reality to our advantage. Only hope can deceive us wonderfully.
So hope will not be denied by anyone. Hope will serve us as long as the cruel reality continues.
“And since then, sweet chestnuts have grown in abundance in that village. Happily ever after.”
This was the punchline of the anecdote. so what? Is it a teaching that people should be considerate to everyone?
After listening to her old story, I don’t know how to respond. I wonder what I should do if I meet a traveler.
Or, if I were an evangelist, I wonder if I should continue my journey.
And if I were a chestnut, I wonder who I am.
One suspect is dead and a second is still on the run following a string of stabbings that killed at least 11 people across Canada’s Saskatchewan province on Sunday …
