One day, a king told a wise man searching for wisdom that
he would meet his wish.
The wise man asked the king to fill gold currency in a small
tray.
The king accepted his request because he thought it easy.
But it was not easy thing.
The tray was not filled even though the king poured a bag
of gold coins into the tray.
The more he pours, the more empty it looks.
The king was embarrassed, who has been proud of his wealth
as if he has everything.
¡°What happened? Tell me the secret of this tray.¡±
Then, the wise man beam upon the king and said.
¡°This is the very special tray. It takes after the secret
in your heart. In other words, it reveals a human being¡¯s
heart that is never satisfied, though you have everything.
It can be filled with whatever you want. Money, beauty, love,
knowledge, power, pleasure of a life, you can fill it up with
everything you want.
But you never watch it filled with something. Because people
are dissatisfied with their possession and only run after
the visible thing.
If you pursue all the more despite your earning, you never
fill it up.
The king approved his words and gave the wise man send-off
at last.
