<分享>感人的铅笔橡皮对话

Pencil: I'm sorry
Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.
Pencil: I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.
Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.

I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way, they get hurt, and become smaller / older, and eventually pass on. Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

All my life, I've been the pencil. And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day. For I know that one day, all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used to have.

This is to all the parents out there.

我自己看了这个颇感动, 我们这个年纪大多数人既是铅笔又是橡皮, 然后我发现自己两样做的都不够好. 情绪很低,生活遇到低谷时, 时不时会迁怒自己的橡皮小时候怎么不把自己的毛病多擦点. 而自己做橡皮呢, 帮自己的小铅笔擦掉毛病时又总是没耐心.

呵呵，橡皮比修改带耐用些，一块橡皮可以用很久，一个修正带也就一两个礼拜吧。这么想想，我觉得做橡皮还不错。
