從寂寥的曆史中走出來，

千年往事，

一枕黃粱。

改編自龍湘黔、王清泉《狀元路》

前兩天看朋友圈，菲律賓朋友分享了一則故事。

挺有趣的——

Very

interesting

first

sight

of

civilization

“Years

ago，

anthropologist

Margaret

Mead

was

asked

by

a

student

what

she

considered

to

be

the

first

sign

of

civilization

in

a

culture

The

student

expected

Mead

to

talk

about

fishhooks

or

clay

pots

or

grinding

stones

But

no

Mead

said

that

the

first

sign

of

civilization

in

an

ancient

culture

was

a

femur

thighbone

that

had

been

broken

and

then

healed

Mead

explained

that

in

the

animal

kingdom，

if

you

break

your

leg，

you

die

You

cannot

run

from

danger，

get

to

the

river

for

a

drink

or

hunt

for

food

You

are

meat

for

prowling

beasts

No

animal

survives

a

broken

leg

long

enough

for

the

bone

to

heal

A

broken

femur

that

has

healed

is

evidence

that

someone

has

taken

time

to

stay

with

the

one

who

fell，

has

bound

up

the

wound，

has

carried

the

person

to

safety

and

has

tended

the

person

through

recovery

Helping

someone

else

through

difficulty

is

where

civilization

starts，

Mead

said

We

are

at

our

best

when

we

serve

others”

It’s

a

lovely

message

to

share
