最高貴的義舉
作者：Zheng Jian, Dora Li；編譯：Ariel Tian，Alice Chen
很久以前，有一位富有的商人。他覺得自己年老體衰，時日無多，想把他的遺產留給三個兒子中的一個。
有一天，他把三個兒子叫來，對他們說：「你們去周遊世界，一年之後回來，告訴我你們在旅途中的最引以為傲的義舉。我會把所有的遺產留給你們中行最高貴的義舉之人。」
一年之後，三個兒子回來了。大兒子說：「我遇見一個陌生人，他給了我一袋金幣讓我為之保管。不久之後他去世了，我把所有的金幣都還給了他的家人。」
商人說：「誠信是你的性格，這並不是最高貴的義舉。」
二兒子說：「我來到一個貧窮的村莊，看到一個男孩掉進河裏。我立刻跳下去救了他。」
商人誇獎了他：「救人是你的天性，這也不是最高貴的義舉。」
三兒子說：「我有一個敵人，他幾次三番想要殺我，每次我都險些命喪黃泉。一晚，我見他睡在懸崖邊的樹枝上。我只要輕輕推一下他就跌入無底深淵，粉身碎骨。但是，我卻叫醒他讓他趕緊回家。我想這也許不是最高貴的義舉······」
商人聽完後說：「你能夠戰勝內心的怨憤，對敵人伸出援手。這是最高貴和神聖的義舉，而你做到了。我會把我所有的遺產都留給你。」
人性本善。善待他人是我們為人應盡的責任，不該被認為是傑出的貢獻。我們並不鼓勵在教育中將子女相互比較。但是，用慈悲和善念對待敵人，以德報怨，誠為世間高貴的義舉之一。

Forgiveness is the answer; if you cannot forgive others, then how can you ask for forgiveness for yourself?

What a beautiful lesson n profound wisdom; I will remember that what is natural in my personality to do is not a great feat, it is just in my nature!!!!
Beautiful story. Very inspiring!
Wonderful story. I thought all the sons responded well but the last son took it further : do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
PS. I saw the mug and would like to purchase one. Tell me how. Thank you
