美文：人生的完好
Once a circle missed a wedge. The circle wanted to be whole， so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly， it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces， but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole， with nothing missing. It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle， it could roll very fast， too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly， it stopped， left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
The lesson of the story， I suggested， was that in some strange sense seem perfect when we lack something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn， to hope， to nourish his soul with the dream of something better. He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him and gives him something he has always wanted but never had.
There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations， who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive， she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.
美文：人生的完好
Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn us for failing. Life is not a spelling bee， where no matter how many words you’ve gotten right， you’re disqualified if you make one mistake. Life is more like a baseball season， where even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. Our goal is to win more games than we lose. When we accept that imperfection is part of human being， and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciate it， we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only aspire to. That， I believe， is what God asks of us—not “Be perfect”， not “Don’t even make a mistake”， but “Be whole”.
If we are brave enough to love， strong enough to forgive， generous enough to rejoice in another’s happiness， and wise enough to know there is enough love to go around for us all， then we can achieve a fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know.
早年有个圆圈，它丢掉了一小段。它想变得完好，所以它处处寻觅它所丢掉的那部分。因为不完好，它只能滚得十分慢。在路上，它仰慕过花儿，它与虫子聊过天，它享受了阳光的照射。它遇到过许多不同的小段，但是没有一个合适它。所以它把它们丢在路旁边，持续寻觅。有一天，圆圈找到了能够与之完美结合的一小段，它十分高兴。它现在总算完好了，不缺任何东西了。因而把丢掉的那段装到自己身上，然后滚了起来。它现在是个完好的圆圈了，它能够滚得很快，快到忽视了花儿，快到没有时刻和虫子们说话。当它意识到因为它滚的太快，国际变得如此不一起，它便停了下来，把找到的那段卸下丢在路旁边，慢慢地滚走了。
