Preface :

今天這篇不寫心得，而只是單純想記錄這篇故事，我最喜歡的故事之一，並時時提醒著我

當兵這沉寂無聊的一年，卻是幫我許多的一年，我也永遠不會忘記學長「阿瑞」

他想告訴我的事，只是輕輕的遞給我一本「Man＇s search for meaning」，作者Viktor E. Frank是一位心理學家，他書中的一句話「He who has a why can bear any how」和一段故事，給了我很多啟發

Story time「Death in Teheran」:

A rich and mighty Persian once walked in his garden with one of his servants.

有一天，一位有錢又善心的波斯人和他的僕人們走在他家的花園中

The servant crid that he had just encountered Death, who had threatened him.

其中一位僕人哭著說他遇到了「死亡」

He begged his master to give him his fastest horse so that he could make haste and flee to Teheran, which he could reach that same evening.

他祈求著他的主人給他一匹最快的馬，這樣才好今晚就能跑到Teheran

The master consented and the servant galloped off on the horse.

主人於是答應了，而那個僕人便乘著馬疾駛而去

On returning to his house the master himself met Death, and questioned him, “why did you terrify and threaten my servant? “

之後，波斯人返回他的屋中時遇到「死亡」，便問他：「你為什麼要恐嚇威脅我的僕人？」

“ I did not threaten him, I only showed surprise in still finding him here when I planned to kill him tonight in Teheran”said Death.

我並沒有要威脅他的意思，我只是在他面前出現，然後計畫今晚在Teheran殺掉他而已
