There is one famous short story that is mentioned in Mahabharata.
《摩诃婆罗多》中提到了一个著名的短篇故事。
Once upon a time, a pigeon flew to King Shibi.
从前，有一只鸽子飞到石壁王那里。
It told him ‘That hawk is chasing me to kill me. Please help me, Lord.’
它告诉他“那只鹰在追我，要杀了我。主啊，请帮助我。”
The king calmed it by saying that he will protect it from the danger.
国王说他将保护它免受危险，使它平静下来。
As they were talking, the hawk flew to the spot. It tried to attack the pigeon.
当他们正在谈话时，老鹰飞到了那个地方。它试图攻击鸽子。
The king stopped it and told the hawk, ‘Stop doing this. What you are trying to do is sinful. You are not supposed to harm the weak. Go back.’
国王制止了它，并对鹰说:“别再这样做了。你想做的是罪恶的。你不应该伤害弱者。回去吧。”
The hawk listens patiently and then asks, ‘Aahan. I feed on pigeons. My nature is made to be like this. I can’t do anything about it? If I don’t kill this pigeon and take its meat, I and my babies will die of hunger. By helping this pigeon, you will be killing me and my baby-hawks. You want to do that, lord’
老鹰耐心地听着，然后问道:“啊……我以鸽子为食。我的天性就是这样的。我无能为力。如果我不杀了这只鸽子，吃了它的肉，我和我的孩子们就会饿死。帮这只鸽子的话，你就会杀了我和我的小鹰。你想这样做吗，上帝。
King Shibi was stunned for a moment on hearing the hawk’s words.
石壁王听了鹰的话，一时惊呆了。
While that story ended on a positive note— The king protected both the hawk as well as the pigeon, by offering his flesh to the hawk— such good-for-all middle-paths are not possible in reality.
虽然这个故事以一个积极的基调结束——国王通过把自己的肉献给鹰来保护鹰和鸽子——但这种对所有人都有好处的中立方法在现实中是不可能的。
The order of nature is more rigid and unforgiving in reality.
在现实中，自然的秩序更加僵化和无情。
Now, imagine these three situations.
现在，想象一下这三种情况。
1. A doctor prays that he should get a good income every month so that he can fulfil all his wife’s desires, send his children to a better school and lead a happy life. Indirectly it means that he should get more patients and many people in his colony should fall sick and suffer from pain.
医生祈祷他每个月能有一份好收入，这样他就能满足他妻子的所有愿望，送他的孩子去更好的学校，过上幸福的生活。间接地，这意味着他应该有更多的病人和许多人在他的殖民地生病，遭受痛苦。
2. There are five eligible students for one scholarship in a college. Finally, one student gets it and he is super happy. He goes home and celebrates. The remaining four students are depressed and sad.
一所大学里有五名学生有资格获得一项奖学金。最后，一个学生得到了它，他超级高兴。他回家庆祝。但剩下的四个学生都很沮丧和悲伤。
3. A factory is making medicines and saving the lives of many people in one corner of the globe. But the sewage water and toxic gas it releases is harming the livelihood of the people in another corner of the globe.
在世界的一个角落里，一家工厂正在制造药品，拯救许多人的生命。但是它排放的污水和有毒气体正在危害地球另一个角落的人们的生活。
We all live in an ecosystem. All of us are interdependent on each other.
我们都生活在一个生态系统中。我们所有人都是相互依存的。
Everyone cannot be happy and joyful at the same time. We have to exchange our joys with others’ pain and others’ joys with our pain to keep the balance in the universe.
每个人不可能同时快乐和快乐。我们必须用别人的痛苦来换取自己的快乐，用自己的痛苦来换取别人的快乐，才能保持宇宙的平衡。
Life sometimes makes someone sad so that you can be happy.
生活有时让别人难过，但你可以快乐。
And the same life sometimes makes you sad so that someone else can be happy.
同样的，生活有时会让你悲伤，但别人却可以快乐。
This is one of the sad facts about life.
这是生活中令人悲伤的事实之一。
小编zzz总结
你的快乐有没有建立在别人的痛苦上？
Do you base your happiness on the pain of others?
