Desire is the rope that binds you

Other articles 2016-11-29

Zhang San and Li Si are neighbors, and they both raised a few monkeys to make a living by playing with monkeys.

Zhang San’s business is very popular, because the monkey is very dedicated and obedient, so he helped Zhang San make a lot of money;Li Si didn't do it. His monkeys often slacked off and sometimes some monkeys escaped.Li Si asked the craftsmen to strengthen the monkey house and added a rope to each monkey's neck, but it still didn't work much.In desperation, he went to Zhang San to seek scriptures.

After staying in Zhang San's family for a long time, Li Si did not notice any tricks. He beat monkeys when they should and scold them when they should, which was no different from himself.

However, it was time to eat, Li Si realized that it was a little different. Zhang San prepared many models of fresh fruits such as bananas and grapes, which were vivid and a little more vivid than the real one.During the meal, Zhang San always put out the model first, then took out the real fruit to feed the monkey. After feeding the monkey, he picked up the fruit model, waved it at the monkey, and then carefully put it back into the house.

Li Si asked Zhang San in confusion: Why are you doing so many fruit models?Although beautiful, it cannot be eaten or chewed.

Zhang San smiled gently and said: Although it cannot be eaten or chewed, it can arouse the monkey's desire. Thinking of these fresh fruits, you will have the motivation to work and the reason to endure grievances.So, my monkey generally won't run away because once it runs away, it loses the opportunity to have these fresh fruits forever.

Li Si suddenly realized: the best way to bind a monkey is not to tighten the rope around its neck, but to hang up the desire in its heart and make it greedy.
