【貴方の心を輝かせる光の言葉】2024年10月24日「足るを知り最善を尽くす」

足るを知り最善を尽くす

人は現在既に与えられているものを当然のものとし、感謝を忘れ、与えられていないものを欲しがり、不満を募らせるものです。
世の中には生まれつき手足が無い人もいます。しかしそのような肉体的不自由を言い訳にせず、努力して肉体を鍛え、パラリンピックに出る人もいますし、筆を口で咥えて上手な絵を描く人もいます。
そうであるならば、五体満足に生まれた私たちは、そのことに心から感謝し、現在の環境の中で最善を尽くすという姿勢が大切なのです。

Know what is enough and do your best

People take for granted what they are currently already given, forget to be grateful, want what they are not given, and grow discontent. Some people are born without limbs. However, some people do not use such physical disabilities as an excuse, but work hard to strengthen their bodies and compete in the Paralympics, while others draw pictures with skill using a brush held in their mouths. If this is the case, then we who were born with full physical capabilities should be truly grateful for this and have the attitude of doing the best we can within our current environment.
