Kaleidoscope

 

We are all familiar with the kaleidoscope. Our childhood days were spent looking through the mirror of the kaleidoscope at the countless, beautiful images. As we turn it continuously, the images change endlessly. But smash the kaleidoscope open, and you will find nothing but bits of coloured paper inside.

Our lives are no different.

As the wheel of life turns, many things are vibrant, and they interweave and transform. However, rend it apart and you will see that an assortment of some simple beings and some simple objects is all there really is.

 

万花筒*

著:刘墉

 

许多事情,看穿了, 不过是一些简单的人、物而已!

我们小时候都玩过万花筒,透过那些镜子,能够看到数不尽的美丽画面,不停地转,也就不断地变化,其实打碎了,里面只不过是一些彩色的小纸片罢了!

我们的生活也是如此,随着生命的转动,许多事情都是那么多采多姿、交织幻化,其实看穿了,不过是一些简单的人、物而已!
